THE WOMAN VOTER.

With the ratification of the Ninteenth Amend
ington last Thursday, the privileges and oppor-
tunties of being an American woman were in
creased hundred fold. What the American wo-
will do with this vast increase is a matter for
conjecture specially by the professional poll
ticians. American statesmen and the average
American citizens not troubled, knowing that
the mothers of the cannot go far wrong at the
ballot box But the politician is bit perturbed-
and he may well be.
What the women of the United States have
wanted all through these years Of struggle has
not been the vote as vote, although this no.
ton has seemed very prevalent in the minds Of
the masculine ants. She has wanted the vote,
not as an end but as means; means by which
she might gain the legislation which will make
for square deal for every woman and child in
the country. Every thinking woman will keep
this ideal firmly in her mind when she goes to
the polls next November-and woe to the cand-
date whose platform has been counter to it.
It is doubtful if women will be as strongly
partisan the old line politicians hope them to
be- 1t is doubtful hopefully so, if they will
play politics" in the established sense. Both ma
tional conventions were, in measure dsappoint-
ing to women; the Chicago convention because
of its failure to incorporate the maternity and
educational planks into it's platform; the San
Francisco convention because it sidestepped with
consummate unskillfulness, the Prohibition ques-
ton. Therefore, in the coming election, it is the
platform of the individual candidate which will
probably get not get the vote of the women.
and, because of the "women's childike simplicity,
so deplored by the old-liners who have been try
ing to whip the women into place as mass, Mr.
Candidate will have to be very plain, very defin-
lite and very uncomplicated in the statement of
his platform.
The thinking woman-and it is her vote that
will counts not an office seeker; she has little
time or desire for political preferment for her
self; she has no desire to "get even' with any
man or group of men for the long wait for the
privileges of the ballot; she is not ant-man nor
pro-man-she is simply with man in his work for
better and more progressive government; she
will make a multitude of Mistakes from which she
hopes to learn the great lesson of not making the
same mistake twice; she will find, in the ranks
of the ssterhood erratic and fanatic members who
must be prevented from carrying out their sell
fish or unintelligent intentions; she has all the
problems of men before her and but little of the
mems experience to help her.
Therefore, while the American woman is pleas

We would like to call the attention of Gazette
readers to series of first aid articles which the
Gazette is printing starting with this issue. These
articles are prepared by Captain G. R. G. Fisher
of the American Red Cross Northern Division
headquarters, Minneapolis, and are of the greatest
value in the home as well outside-in the field
of emergency cases. We regret that the series is
too long to be published complete in one issue, but
if the various articles clipped as they appear
they will furnish complete library of elementary
first-aid information They should not only be
read-to serve the purpose for which they are
prepared they should be studied, learned and
practised Captain Fisher has been at no small
pains to write these articles. The Gazette is pub
fishing them at considerable expenditure of eff
fort and print paper 1t is up to our readers to
make such use of them as will make their publ
cation worth while

she may through cooperation with the fathers,

men of America lighted the torch 1t is sufficient
for us of the present day to be found worthy to
carry it, even for ever so short distance, down

A nonpartisan candidate for congress in the

Mrs. Wenonah Stevens Abbott, chairman Of
the Henepin County democratic women says that
the women voters will not countenance the "poi-

that Zone woman delegate at San Francisco was

paid by another and wrote campaign songs for
another" In opinion Mrs. Abbott is little
narrow in her vision. That girl wasn't really

BY Dr. Richard Burton, Head OF the Englsn L
partment, University Of Minnesota.
We are the toilers from whom God barred
The gifts that are good to hold.
We meant full we'll and we tried full hard,
And our failures we're manifold.
And we are the clan of those whose kin
Were milestone dragging them down.
Yea, we had to sweat for our brothers sin,
And lose the victor's crown.
The seeming able who all but scored,
From their teenling tribe we come;
What was there wrong with us, 0 Lord,
That our lives were dark and dumb?
The men ten talented who still
Strangely missed of the goal,
Of them we are; it seems Thy will
To harrow some in soul.
We are the sinners, too, whose lust
Conquered the higher claims;
We sat US prone in the common dust
And played at the devils game.
We are the hard luck folk who strove
Zealously, but in vain;
We lost and lost, while our comrades throve,,
And still we lost again.
We are the doubles of those whose way
Was festal with fruits and flowers;
Body and brain sound as they,
But the prizes not ours.
A mighty army full ranks make,
We shake the graves as we go;
The sudden stroke and the slow heartbreak,
They both have brought low.
And while we are laying lifes sword aside,
Spent and dishonored and sad,
Our epitaph this, when once we have died;
"The weak lie here and the bad"
We wonder if this be really the close,
Lies fever cooled by deaths trance;
And we cry, though it seems to dearest
foes.
"God, give another chance!

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK.
Soil Building.

Soil building is the first step re-
quisite' to agricultural development
in this county. This cannot be &C
complished on hill lands that wash
or erode; hence the necessity of
Terracing.
Don't terrace such lands unless
thoroughly done.
Two systems of terracing are in
use: The Mangum Terrace and the
Hillside Terrace. The Mangum
Terrace is constructed on gently roll
ing land, and the Hillside Terrace
on sleeper, rougher lands. The Man
gum Terrace should be 20 feet wide
or more, and sufficiently high to pre-
vent breaking by the heaviest down
pour of rainfall. l.
This terrace can be planted and
cultivated without inconvenience or
without loss of land area. The
strongest terrace, if any, should be
constructed near the upper portion
of the field, otherwise it will break,
resulting in surplus steet of water
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1920-12-16

thrown upon the second terrace
which will likely break also and the
entire field be swept and worse
damage than if not terraced at all.
Protect the first terrace itself by
ditch, or otherwise, keeping sur
plus water, if any, from above off
its area.
Terracing should begin soon and
terraces thrown up on reinforced,
with two-horse or terracing scrape
after each rain, until amply strong
to be effective. Don't terrace while
the soil is too wet, for evident Tea-
sons.
Very steep land should be well
terraced and put to pasturage with
a grass sod that will prevent era
sion and bring in a profitable in
come through livestock which will
increase in your farm system when
the bollWeevil arrives-sOOn. DON
be caught unprepared.
If you need information, call on
your county agent, He either has
it or can get it for you. Office day,

purpose, results in the statement be-

Ito fully realize their obligations,
