Harvest Is ODer;;
Farmers ERiisting
In 23rd infantry

With the harvest season over, re
cruiting statistics are showing ar
increasing number of farmers en-
listing from Oklahoma in the regu
lar army, according to figures re
ceived at the Chickasha army office
by Sergeant Millerman.
The Twenty-third Infantry which
has been represented in this city by
Sergeant Simmons for several
months, was allotted to the state OF
Oklahoma for recruiting purposes in
the early part of the year, since
which time its ranks have been
steadily filling with young Oklahoma
recruits, until at this time over one
third of the regiment is composed
Of men from this state. Some of the
companies have as high as fifty per.
cent Of their members from Okla
homa.
Fifty-one percent OF the young
Oklahomans who have joined this
regiment within the past few months
have given their vocations as farm
ers, with this percentage steadily in
creasing as the heavy work on the
farms is bieng cleaned up. Before
the harvest season only about TWEEN
ty-five percent of the Oklahoma re-
cruits sent to the Twenty-third In
fantry were farmers.
That the farms were losing these
men for good was emphatically de-
MED at the local army office. 1t was
stated that most of these young
farmers have been planning to enter
the regular service for many months
having heard of the great educa-
tional and vocational school system
which the new peace time army Of
fers its members. Due to the heavy
work during the planting and har-
vest season, combined with the !

shortage Of farm labor, their ser
vices could not be spared by their
parents until this time.
The big majority of these men
are entering the army to take up
work in the motor-mechanics
schools. AT the close OF their periods
of service they expect to return to
their farms fully able to handle and
repair tractors and other types OF
labor saving machinery.
OF the large number of men sent
by the local station to the Twenty
third Infantry during the past few
weeks, about seventy five percent
were from the farms in this and
nearby counties.

SUFFRAGE FIGHT
HAS Been LONG
Susan B. Anthony Amendment
Remained Before Congress
Longer Than Any Other.

Washington, Aug. Disqualification OF
the suffrage amendment to the Con-
stitution ends a struggle which began
in this country before the Colonies de-
clared their independence. 1t will
eventually enfranchise 25,O0o,0 900
women.
Woman suffrage first raised its voice
in America in Maryland in 1647 when
Mistress Margaret Brent, heir of Lord
Calvert, demanded place in the legis-
Iature of the colony as property
holder of wide extent. And in the days
of the Revolution Abigail Adams wrote
her husband John Adams at the Con-
tinentaI Congress which was framing
the laws of the infant nation that, If
in the new laws-particular care and
attention are not paid TO the ladies,
we are determined TO foment a rebel
lion and will not hold ourselves bound
to obey any laws in which. we have
no voice"
Organized work for woman suffrage
began in the United States with the
woman's Rights Convention in Sene-
ca Falls, y. Y. in Is4s, which was
called by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, early leaders Of Mas
sachusetts and New York. in response
to the indignation aroused by the re-
tusal TO permit women to take part
in the convention Of 1870.
From the date OF that convention the
suffrage movement in the United
States began the fight that lasted
seventy years and ended with victory.
Another convention followed in 1852 at
Syracuse. y. Y, at which delegates
from Canada were present and IL was
there that Susan B. Anthony assumed
leadership OF the cause to which she
devoted her life.
In 1859 the National Woman Suf-
frage Association, with Miss Anthony
and Mrs. Stanton at its head was form
ed in New York and in the same year
the American Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation was organized in Cleveland with
Lucy stone and Julia Ward Howe as
its leaders. At first differing widely
in policy, the National Association
working to put a suffrage amendment
through the federal congress and its
sister organization bending its efforts
to convert the country state by state,
the two associat ations later united under
the name Of the National Woman Suf-
frage Association. The associations
