LAW GRADUATE is STRONG

RECENTLY ADMITTED TO BAR
Is One of ouislana's Few Women Law
yers Actively Engaged in the Prac-
tice of Law-Women Are Pre-
pairing To Fight.

Jena, La. - Mrs. cara -. IeTTlH,
who is a graduate Of the law depart
ment OF Tulane University and who
was recently admitted TO practice be-
fore the Supreme Court OF the United
States. is strongly in favor OF woman
suffrage. She is enc of Louisiana's
few women lawyers actively engaged
in the practice of law and says she
hopes the women of the state who are
preparing to make a fight before the
Legislature when 1t meets in May will
be successful IN obtaining ratification
of the federal amendment. She says:
Il have never taken any prominent
part in the fight for woman suffrage
and do not intend doing so at this
time. | have thought all along that
women should be given the right OF
franchise and thin that the reasons
for doing so are greater than at any
time in the past.
Il have noticed that thos who op-
pose woman suffrage always try TO
Justify themselves by pointing Out
some great national reason or some
great calamity that will befall the
country If it passes. Just now | note
that one faction wants the ballot but
wants the state to grant it. This re-
minds fe the child that wants drink

BILE moment. | feel that II Is certain

Constitution of the United States and
| hope to see my native Louisiana the
thirty-sixth and deciding state. AS
for the so-called states rights qcestlon
| have heard no lawyer OF any conse
qucnce argue that the question OF
states rights is involved. Or course
there are people who, seeking a pre-
text to justify themselves IN their oP
position. clamor about states rights
These people are against us and while
we hope to see the amendment ratineo
by Louisiana, we know that In case
abe fails. some other state will do sc
and we will only be retarded a little
il the states rights faction succeeds II
defeating woman suffrage in the Unit

CLEAN SEED
Hitch Your Grader to Your Gas En-.
CINE and Fan and Fan-Do a
Good Job; Money In 1t.

Seed wheat is SO bad this year that
1t will be necessary to do some very
radical cleaning with the tanning mill.
All of the shriveled and diseased ker.
nels should be famed out. Probably
enough seed may be had on almost
any farm if the tanning end grading
IS done severely enough. Ii has been
claimed by many farmers that all
seeds. large and small, will grow equal.
ly well, but this is not so. A plump
seed carries its own food until such
time as the shoots and rOotlets may be
sprouted sufficiently to take nourish.
ment from soil and air. The seed must
carry enough plant food SO that it will
produce a strong plant.
The tanning mill should operate both
by screen agitation and wind blast.
Some farmers do not use the tanning
mill, because it is the only machine
on the farm that they cannot ride, but
the hind leg of your Ford and run the
tanning mill with a belt. You prob.
ably have a gasoline engine for other
work. Hitch it to your tanning mill
and do a good job.
You cannot take too much care in
preparing your seed for this year. Seed
is scarce and high. You are guilty Of
criminal negligence, if you omit to do
so. Now is the time for every man to
give patriotic service and recOnstruc-
4jon must begin with food and food
is based on wheat.
