WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE

LIN oiloO hD WALL
Some may not feel friendly toward
the idea of a mn in politics. But
what does it matter if it be a mar or
q woman if she or he will do the
things we want done? Many women
wanted and asked for the vote: some
did not want it, and oppose it saying
the home is the place for women and
not dabbling in politics.
Why should women vote? Is it be-
cause they are wiser, smarter and
better voters or more patriotic than
than the men. No. Most women
will make no such claims, but will
humbly admit their ignorance and
will ask to be taught. Did you ever
hear of many men acknowledging
their ignorance?
Women own property, pay taxes,
etc., why shouldn't they be interest
ed in politics? The day of political
courtesy has passed. If you value

COMMUNICATION.

Editor Farmers Press =
In last weeks issue of the Cava-
lier Co. Republican a challenge was
issued by Andrew Murie on the rela.
tive merits of horses and tractors in
furnishing power for blowing, Mr..
Murie taking the stand and main
tanning that the best and cheapest
werk can be done with horses.
Now I would differ with him and
the stand taken is based upon nv
personal experience and having used
both horses and tractors in doing this
and other kinds of farm work. Here
are the actual facts as TO what 1 have
plowed with my E.-B. tractor and a
three bottom pillow. My average all
fall has been from IT to 20 acre
per day; making eighteen rounds in
the forenoon and twenty rounds in
the afternoon of each day. Approx
mately the amount of gasoline used
was twenty gallons a day. l have
been in the county since 1895 and
have used oxen, horses and tractors
and am convinced that the tractor is
the best of them all. My blowing is
all completed and the tractor is in
the shed and will not need any oats
o care during the winter.
| challenge any seven horse outfit
to do as much work as my E.-B.
Tractor or at the same cost per acre
Respectfully Yours,

able Where Those Boy Scouts
Were Coming From.

Now there are boy scout stunts and
boy scout stunts, but it took a Terre
Haute troop to put over the best one.
1t was at a meet at the First Baptist
church, and they were illustrating an
early morning at their summer camp,
Kinneumapoose. The scenery, except
for a small pup tent, was the regular
church furniture. But still the audi
ence could stretch its imagination
enough to make the seem effective.
The first streak Of dawn was an
nounced, and then slowly there
emerged from the pup tent q yawn-
ing, stretching scout. A wee interval,
and another followed him. Another
lapse of time, and another scout
emerged from the tent. Then came
others until there were IL on the plat
form, and still others were coming.
The audience was almost %incredulous
with amaZement, for, as every one
knows, a pup tent is so small that it
cannot accommodate more than three
boys at the limit.
Then out started the thirteenth,
and evidently he was too sleepy, for
he jostled the tent so that it slipped
away from it's mooring, and there back
of it was the entrance to the pool for
baptism. The youngsters had been
concealed In it and used the tent
