Where Women Rule

A little village exists on the Cape Of
Shima, in Japan, the name of which In
Japanese means "the Settlement of
Nymphs." Woman In this village is
the predominant partner. The chief
industry is pearl fishing, and 1t is the
women who are the fishers. The men
stay at home and do the homework.
From the age of four girls are taught
to dive. and the craft has always been
jealousy kept In the women's hands.
Recently some Of the men became
discontented and started to practice
diving with the idea of themselves be-
coming pearl fishers. The women.
dreading the intensified competition,
ordered the men to discontinue their
diving. and as the men refused boy
colt was declared against them. The
sexes have been at war ever since, and
finally the women expelled all the
men from their homes and undertook
In their clumsy. inexpert fashion to do
the homework for themselves. The
men have petitloned parliament for
their rights.

CANDIDATES MUST DOLL UP"
Will Have to Look Their Prettiest u
They Expect to Find Favor With
Woman Voters.

II Is not necessary to go away from
home to find either the latest or best,
regardless Of what is wanted. Consider
eyebrow arching, for instance. A local
beauty salon announces to the public
that II does eyebrow arching, and ex-
plains that this operation "gives the
eyes a deep. soulful expression with
everlasting charm" Eyebrow arching
advice for woman electors is more or
less superfluous. It is to the men, and
more especially to the men who aspire
to public Office. that this beauty hint is
directed.
Throughout the country women are
getting the ballot on equal terms with
men. Women cannot vote In Indiana.
but they are going to have that privi-
lege before long. So many women
have been enfranchised that they now
hold the balance of power in this ma
ton. So the woman vote will be more
and more real political problem to
the candidate.
Some electors care little for the per-
sonal appearance OF candidates. but
most of them prefer a man Of char
acter. one who at least is presentable.
Candidates in the future will have to
bear this In mind. 1t will be well. In
order to match rival candidates, for
each to have good tailor and an ad-
vIsory committee on the proper shade
of cravats. Immaculate linen will have
to be in every candidates platform
The high arched eyebrow will be even
more essential to candidates than to
the average woman. Doubtless those
who have political aspirations will be-
gin early. because eyebrow training
takes time.-Indlanapolis News.

MAIN STREET

During the past week residents of this village without exception who were forced to walk down Main street complained of the condition of the street and cross walks. They had good reason to, as it was positively Ehe muddiest of all muddy streets seen fin any town in this state for many years. Not only the street it. self but cross walks and finally side walks, were more or less covered with a sticky mass of dirt, road oil and water.
 It was worth the price of a pair of shoes to- attempt to cross the street anywhere except where the cross walks were supposed to be and if one had on low shoes, the chances are they would be in their stocking feet by the time they reached the side walk. Automobiles kept the pedes- trians lodging throughout two days while the rainy weather continued and if you didn't dodge-we mean those who were on the sidewalk-the result was 8 shower of mud and water.
 For such 8 condition to exist in a town like this seems almost un- beIieveable. but when it is known that the town is practically helpless in the matter, it is still more serious. Main and Railroad streets being so- called trunk lines, the state has abso- Iute jurisdiction over their upkeep, etc., therefore making it impossible to make use of state aid money in putting in new road.
 There seems to be only one solu- tion to this muddy problem and that Is to put in an asphalt road similar to the one in Winsted, that remedied . similar problem in that town. This would make it possible to keep our principal street in a condition fit for pedestrians as we'll as making it much more sanitary. There is little use to dump gravel and trap rock on such street.
 Little can be done by talking about this situation. Let's get some action and take the matter up with the Highway Commisisoneer, or if neces- sary hold an indignation meeting and force matters a little.

not be discharged from so doing. | was
employed by former Despatching Sec
rotary Williams to repair this clock.
This | did; and the newspapers men
toned it. For fourteen days the clock
worked alright; when someone inter
fered withs it and it stopped. | was
again called by Mr.. Williams, whose be-
havior on this occasion did not warrant
me having any further dealings with him
nor the town clock.
That is the whole matter.
