Tennessee Farm Women
Win by Cooperation

"It was only a little object les
son in cooperative marketing" is the
modest statement of a tennessee
woman whose activities have pro
duced a prosperous dairying commun-
ity.
In 1909 fourteen women were Or
ganized at Pulaski, Tenn, to demon
strate the theory Of cooperative ef-
fort. Butter and eggs from the rela-
lively few COWS and fowls of the
community were assembled and mar
keted The quality of the products,
due to the care taken in selection
and preparation, was such that they
commanded the highest prevailing
prices. The women's husbands be-
gan to TAX notice and soon interested
themselves in dairy cows. This led
to the introduction of Jerseys, sep
arators, silos, milking machines and
the shipping of whole milk and
cream.
Similar results are being secured
in many sections of the country, state

Court Says Snake
Has Legal Right to
Gulp Live Chicken

WINNIPEG Does a live chicken
suffer any pain while traversing the
passage between a boa constructors
mouth and stomach? If it does,
which is the crueler-to allow the
chicken to suffer or to let the snake
starve to death?
This problem was propounded to
the Winnipeg police court, and the
judge, Sir Hugh John Macdonald,
decided that although the chicken
may be tortured in body and mind
during the brief moment it is passing
it is more humane to allow it to suf-
fer than to let a boa constructor die
for want Of nourishment.
The complaint was filed by the
Winnipea Humane society against
Miss Agnes Westlake, snake charmer
with circus showing here, in which
Miss Westlake was charged with
"diabolic cruelty" in feeding live
chicken to. her 26o-pound boa con-
strictor.
"The chickens cannot be killed be-
fore they are fed to the snake or he
he won't eat them, and he won't eat
anything else," said Miss. Westlake.
Besides, there's no cruelty, because
the chickens are dead before they
know what's happening to them"

Good Progress Made
In Campaign Against
Malaria In Georgia

The state board of health is now
engaged in four malaria control
projects at Albany Townsville
Cairo and Savannah. More than a
hundred towns, villages and mill
settlements have been doing similar
work and according to reports made
to the state board, the results. have
been most satisfactory. 1t Is shown
that malaria has been reduced from
70 to 95 per cent at relatively low
per capita cost.

other industries has been increased

u. S. CONSIDERS
MOVE TO MEET
TENN. TANGLE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The pos
sibility Of the Tennessee suffrage
tangle dragging results of the fall
election through the courts and into
the house of representatives has
been recognized by high government
officials and ways to meet it are be-
ing considered, it was learned to-
day
In their efforts to avoid such an
event, officials here confidently ex-
pect to have the help of Republican
party leaders, although such aid has
not as yet been asked or offered so
far as known.
Possibility of the elections going
into the courts and congress arises
out Of constitutional provisions that
a candidate must have a majority in
the electoral college to secure his
election. If courts should declare
after the elections had occurred that
the Tennessee ratification of suf-
frage was illegal, all Woman'S votes
cast under authority Of the 18th
amendment also would be illegal and
throw out the whole votes of states
where such illegal voting had &C.
CURED. Thus no candidate would
have a majority Of the electors and
the house of representatives would
elect the president.
Officials here see two ways of
avoiding this.
The first way is to get the matter
settled by a decision of the federaI
supreme court before election. The
court does not meet until October
and the elections are November 2,
giving the court less than a month
to act. Furthermore none Of the
fore it.
The second way is to get ratifica-
ton by thirty-seventh state. Con-
necticut now offers the most likely
chance for such a move as this to
succeed. Suffrage leaders are cen
terIng efforts on Connecticut
>. Republican leaders, it was be-
lIeved here, can aid suffrage In
Connecticut since the state is Re-
publican. They are expected to do
SO when the legislature meets in
special session. The Alabama leg.
iislature meets September IA accord
ing TO- word here, but the chances
for suffrage there are deemed slight.
The last election thrown into the
house was the Hayes-Tilden con-
test. The first election of Thomas
Jefferson also was made by the
mousse Aaron Burr being his closest
rival.

CONNECTICUT EXPECTED

MANY members have expressed cha
grin at the delay in calling the spe-

worried about Tennessee. The amend
ment has been passed and proclaimed
by, the secretary of state and can
not be rescinded."
The September IA session was not
