Cleveland Paper Comments
 On Suffrage In Alabama

6THE suffrage fight in Alabama is U being closely watched through cut the country. President Wilson ane Secretary Daniels have urged ratifi cation by the state legislature of the suffrage amendment. The Cleveland Plain Dealer in a recent issue pub fishes the following editorial:
 Three southern legislatures are now in session. Texas has ratified the suffrage amendment. Georgia has rejected it. President Wilson now appeals to the Alabama assem- bly, through Governor Kilby, to follow the Texas. not the Georgia. example.
 It was, of course, recognized from the first. that suffrage would find it's hardest fight in the south. The section which did most for the eighteenth amendment was ex- pected to be more or less lukewarm toward the nineteenth Unless there is an unexpected number Of spe- cial sessions called to act upon suffrage this year. the real test of strength between suffragists and anti-suffragists in the south will not come until 1920. It is then that most of the southern assemblies hold their regular sessioes.
 The Presidents appeal to Ala bama is in keeping with his atti- tude on federal suffrage. He urged the last Congress to submit the amendment. which Congress re- fused to do by the margin of one democratic vote in the Senate. He repeated the recommendation upon the assembling of the present Con- gress and one of its first legisla- tive acts was to submit the meas

ure which Mir Wilson now asks
 Alabama to ratify.
 It is an issue of progress and
 justice which faces the legislature
 at Montgomery this week. There
 should be ne question of the deci-
 sion.
 As the Plain Dealer says, the issue now before the legislature of Alabama is one of "progress and justice" No worthwhile argument can any longer be advanced against giving women the right to vote. Opponents have sought to create prejudice by injecting the negro question, by playing on reac- tionary sentiment which is still strong in Alabama and by trying to create confusion in the minds of people who have given little thought to the suf- frage question, but they have never succeeded in presenting a convincing array of facts to sustain their con- tention.
 Furthermore, there is a phase of suffrage that should appeal to 'prac- tical men" in the state legislature, if they can see no other reason for rati- fication of the nineteenth amendment. It is desirable and expedient from a political point of view. Women are going to be given universal suffrage in America. If stubborn legislature at Montgomery refuses to ratify, the measure will be imposed on this state by the more progressive and enlight- ened states of the union.

Extension Service
 and State Fair

lN R. J. F. DUGGAR, director of @O the cooperative extension work of the Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, and the United States department of agriculture, is taking, as usual, great interest in the annual state fair at Birmingham which is set for October 6-12.
 In a recent circular letter Dr. Dug gar calls attention to the fair and an- nounces that the Fair association will give away $500 in prizes to the grow CTS of apples, peaches, grapes, citrus fruits, nuts and persimmons. It is suggested that all persons, especially Interested, write at once to Secretary of the Fair J. L. Dent, asking for catalog which will supply all neces- sary information.
 The extension service is co-operat- ing heartily with the officers of the Fair association in an effort to se- cure creditable exhibits from Alabama orchards this fall. The department of horticulture will designate one of it's force, says Dr. Duggar, to be at the fair continuously during the entire week to help arrange the exhibits and heighten the effect of the displays.
 The prizes that the State Fair asso- citation will offer are as follows:
 For various kinds of apples, s225; for various nuts, $50; citrus fruits, 1850; peaches, BIO; pears, $10; grapes, l$12.5O; persimmons, SIS; for fruits and nuts exhibited by vocational 1schools having horticultural depart lments, $25; for Alabama grown fruits other than those mentioned above, such las pawpaw, pomegranate, S5 for the best exhibit of each.
 This years fair will be attractive in every way-in live stock, agriculture and horticulture, poultry, dairy prod ucts and displays of the work of the girls clubs, and in free amusements the exhibitions will be more distin- |guished than ever.

In general, it was the policy of France to put all it's available man power in uniform and then assign these sol diers to the work that had to be done, whether it was directly military in mature or not.
 In the United States it was the pol icy to take into the army only those who were physically fit to fight and to assign them, save in exceptional cases, only to work related directly to the ordinary duties of soldier. The work of making munitions, operating railroads and building ships was done by men not enrolled in the armed forces of the nation.
 For a period of 25 months from April, 1917, through April, 1919. the war cost the United States consider ably more than $1 ,OO0,000 an hour.
 "The willingness with which the American people accepted the univer- sal draft was the most remarkable feature in the history of our prepara- tion for war;" says Secretary Baker.
 Statistics may be dry, but this little book will have a ready appeal for many men in and out of public life.
