NO SUFFRAGE CALL

ture. Matter OF Principle.

LuFcs -nuGter OF ITlnclpIc.
Rutland, VT. July 12.-Govcrnor
Clement today issued a proclamation
refusing to call the legislature in spe-
cial session to make possible ratifica-
ton Of the federal amendment for
woman suffrgae.
Governor Clements proclamation
asserted that "as it stands and as in
terpreted by the supreme court today,
the federal constitution threatens the
foundation Of free popular govern
mcnt."
The 18th amendment to the consti-
tuition, he said, had been lobbied
through congress and state legisla-
lures by federal agents. and the 18th
amendment had been forced through
"by powerful and irresponsible organ
izations, operating through paid agents
with unlimited funds.
"lt is now proposed to force through
the 10Th amendment for woman suf-
rage in the same manner, and also
without the sanction OF the frccmcn
81 have been asked to overlook these
considerations as a matter OF party cX-
pcdicncy, but this is matter OF prn-
ciplc, not expcdicncy, and the party
that nvadcs we'll established princi-
pie OF popular government will suffer
to the end"
The governors proclamation follows
conference which he held at Wash
ington recently with Senator Harding,
at which, it is understood, the Rcpub-
llcan nominee for president discussed
with him the possibility OF having rat
iiication completed by the Republican
legislature OF Vermont
In giving his reasons for refusing
again to call special session, Gov
"rnor Clement said the proposed
amendment clearly nyades tho con-
stitution of Vermont; that the present
! legislature was elected before the
question OF ratifying the federal
amendment had arisen and that the
people OF tho state have had no oppor-
tunity to express themselves on the
Issue. The governor proposed that the
matter be taken up by the next legis-
lature, and urged that candidates for
election be required to declare them
selves on 1t.

he received more applause and fewer

STRIVING TO CURB
UNDUE SPECULATION
National Selling Agencies for Grain
and Live Stock Aim OF Farm Bureau
EedarY,fton


chicago, Ill.,, July 12.-Plans for
farmers national selling agencies for
gram and livestock, with view to-
ward curbing speculation and violent
market fluctuations, will be consid-
cred at meeting here July 23 and "a,
Public announcement Of the confer
ence was made today by the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, a farm
crs' organization with upwards of L.
zoo,o00 members in 80 states.
According to J. w. Coverdale, sec
reeary of the federation. this meeting
promises to be the greatest conference
OF cooperative marketing of farm pro
ducts ever held in the united States.
Grain and livestock interests are to
meet in separate sessions.
If uniform plans of cooperative
marketing result from this conference
and are generally adopted by farmers
material reduction in the cost of liy-
ing together with a stabiliZation OF
prices should cnsuc," says the Farm
Bureau Federation in statement on
the conference today.
Starting with the organization of
cooperative grain elevators by farm
crs some 20 years ago, the idea OF
cooperative marketing has spread
rapidly among farmers, particularly
during recent years, and with notable
success in many other farm products.
1T is estimated that during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1919, farm pro
ducts to the value of more than ST.
ooO,O0OO0O were marketed through
farmers cooperative associations.
There are now more than 1000 CO.
operative elevators in the grain grow
ing regions Of the country and last
year more than half the nations grain
was handled by them. Illinois alone
has $40 farmers elevator organiza-
tions operating 700 elevators at 500
different railroad stations. Last year
they handled approximately 70 per
cent Of all the Illinois grain, or about
1h0 100000 bushels at an estimated
saving Of over 100000. In Mime
sofa by far the greater portion of the
livestock is marketed comparatively
and this also Is done extensively in
many other states. Last year a large
portion Of the wool clip was marketed
comparatively through wool pools, "
which collected and graded the wool
and sold 1t directly to the mills.
What the farmers now propose to
DO Is to strengthen their local organi-
cations so as to be able to market
their products gradually throughout
the year and to follow these products
little further down the devious road
which leads to the consumer. In the
case Of grain. it is proposed to ship
much Of the crop direct from the coun
try elevators to the consumers and
distributors, thus eliminating full one
third of the present railroad handling
OF grain.

COUNTRY OF BEE KEEPERS
In Liithuania the Production Of Honey
Has Become an Important Ma
tionaI Industry.

In Lithuania. when a bee stings a
man he turns the other cheek.
And almost literally, at that, because
it is a sin to kill a bee, and no one
eve commits that sin Intentionally.
AS a result of their natural fondness
for bees. Lithuanians, with the growth
of their economic system, have devel-
oped bee raising from a general social
custom to an important industry.
Thousands of barrels Of honey are ex-
ported from LitIluania annually.
Almost everyone In Lithuania has
at least u bee hive. Sometimes they
have swarms of thousands. But 1t is
common ever in the cities to have a
man serve you INDUS that il made
from the honey gathered in his garden
hive. Midus, the national drink Of
Lithuania, is made from fermented
honey.

London. April 2e.-The San Reno
conference has decided to restore PAL
estine as the national home OF the
jews, thus fulfilling the aspirations of
millions OF exiled wanderers, dating
back 5000 years.
The mandate Tor Palestine goes to
Great Britain but France will assist
In determining the borders Of Syria

whether the upper Jordan and Linati
rivers are to be included in Syria.
To Protect Arabs.
In Palestine Reservations are made
for the protection Of the rights of the
Arabs as a minority people.
Noted Jews in England reioiced to
hear OF the decision of the supreme
council.
This news will bring Joy to the
Jews. from the mansions OF the
R~othschiids to the cottage of the
poorest Jew in Poland said Secre-
tary Landsman, OF the international
Zionist organizations.
He said a council of the executive
committees would be held May 10,
which would probably decide to sum
mon a pan-Jewish convention to de-
eide how to proceed in retaining the
homeland Of their people.
Expect Many from America.
The secretary predicted the first
tide of returning immigration would
set out from eastern Europe, where
the Jews say they are being perse-
cuted. Large numbers are also ex-
pected to emigrate from. the United
States and western European coun-
tries.
But for the time being, according
to Joseph Cowan. one of the Zionist
leaders in Great Britain, the flow of
emigration to Palestine must be re-
stlicted to the capacity of the coun-
try to receive the returning wan
derers, and this capacity, he said, is
small.
Cowan expects the Jews to coop
with Great Britain in developing
the country.
