NO LONGER ANY
PETTICOAT POLITICS
Male Politicians Finding Out
Things at Democratic
Convention.
BY EDNA HUBER CHURCH
INTERNATIONAL NEWS sERVIcEl

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. June So
That worn old phrase r etticoat poll
ties is being erased from the political
vocabulary right here in the demo
cratic Convention.
Male politicians. even the strongest
-suffragists. are finding that there is
no such thing as pettieoat politics. for
The very reason that the women are
jumping into this political game in man
fashion.
This convention is a liberal education
NOR male politicians You may take that
from Miss Julia Sanders. national COM
nittee woman from Indiana.
said Miss Sanders today: DO you
know that today for the first time
whole lot Of men are finding out that
women arc not shallow little creatures
The women have certainly shown here
that they have a breadth OF mind and an
ability TO grasp great issues. This work
Of education isn't complete yet. Watch
the women four years from now
And my. how independent these fe-
males are after nearly an hour OF de-
bate in caucus in trying TO determine
+ just how far they should go in asking
facors from Gov. Roberts Of Tennessee
! in regards to speeding up ratification Of
! suffrage Maggie smith Hathaway OF
Hamilton. Mont. read the riot act 70

to succeed in politics. don't tease. don t

was a political solomon.
Despite their independence the women
have added Just a touch of refinement
to the convention proceedings. OF course
this is rather hard on some Of the old
timers. but they are game even if the
big brass cuspidors have been removed

K Law
AMENDMENT
IS DRAF TED

Times BUREAU At STATE CAPITA
INDIANAPOLIS. June 3o.-The tax
law amendment bll mich is 70 be sub
nlitted 70 the second special session OF
the legislature has been drafted and
turned over to Governor Goodrich.
In a general way the amendments. in

il 5 said.
Some of the outstanding features OF
the recommendation made by this or
ganiza ion are:
THAT star chamber" meetings OF
local officials for the purpose Of de
u. ~ ming az tax levies shall be abolish
CO ny providing that if an increase in
Inc levy is deemed necessary a date
must be set for public hearing The
rate hxed al such a hearing shall be

an appeal is taken to the state board OF
AK commissioners within ten days by
FIVE interested tax payers Who object 10
the rate. After a hearing by the state
board the municipal corporation may de-
aiand a referendum vote in event the in
crease in rate sought is either denied or
cut by the state board.
municipal corporation only after a pub
lie hearing set by the local officials If
it is decided to issue the bonds are other
evidences Of Indebtedness after such a
hearing they shall be incontestible eN-

Who opposed such issue at the hearing.
The state TAX board would be made the
appellate body and If the issue is denied
BY the state board the municipality may
ask for a referendum vote on the ques-
ton
These are the outstanding features of
the proposed amendments. Such amend
n1ents would be in effect similar to the
rev rules now inforced n the tax conl
mission At present the commission
approves all bond issues unless protests
are filed by tax payers and in such
cases a local hearing is conducted.

NEW POULTRY HOUSE
PROFITABLE INVESTMENT

Mrs. f. f. Carter built new poul-
try house about one year ago. Now
she is an enthusiastic advocate of
suitable housing for poultry. For the
months of January, February and
March of 1918 and 1919 the Carriers
hens averaged from 25 to 26 eggs. In
1918 the flock of $50 hens showed a
loss during these months of $3.12. In
1919 the flock which was slightly larg-
er returned profit during the three
winter months of $48. Not being sat-
isfied with these results the Carriers
concluded that new poultry house
was needed. In 1920 with the poul-
try comfortably housed the ITO hens
averaged 45 eggs from January to
March 81. 1t is thus seen that the
hens laid 10 extra eggs, due to the
new poultry house. Those eggs sold
for so cents dozen returning an ex-
ira income of 95 cents hen. In 1920
the hens averaged as many eggs in
January as for both January and Feb
rurary of the two preceding years.
This last winter the profit above
feed cost was $1S1.61, as compared to
$48 in 1919 and loss of $3.42 in 1918.
The plans for the new poultry house
were secured from the University of
Missouri and are found in Experiment
Station Circular SO which may be OBJ
tanned by writing the Poultry Depart
ment or College of Agriculture.

A Prolonged
Cool Spell

The past week has been unusually
cool for the midsummer season, the
exact cause for which is not apparent.
The existing temperature indicates
snow at no remote distance, and yet
there is no information at hand that
there has been snow fall anywhere IN
this country. The days have been
sufficiently cool to make heavy cloth
ing comfortable, while the nights
have been positively chilly. Yet crop
conditions could not be finer, and no
one has lust cause for the prevailing
low temperature, unless 1t be the cot
ton grower, and there is no cotton IN
this immediate locality.
The GOODNESS has brought home to
everyone, however, the present scare
ity of fuel for next winter, and has
caused considerable thinking as to
where the supply is to come from.
There has been little, if any, improve
ment in the coal supply, and many
are seriously thinking of returning to
wood for fuel. But wood also ap-
pears not only to be unusually scarce,
but its price is also advancing to
such extent as to make it exceedingly
difficult to get. But the fuel ques-
ton must be solved soon, else there
is liable to be untold suffering when
winter makes its appearance. 1t
would be the wise and safe thing for
everyone to make provision for their
winters fuel early this winter, owing
to the chaotic conditions of the mar
ket. as there now appears to be but
slight hope of the coal condition be-
coming better soon. Fuel is as nee
essary in cold weather to sustain life
as is food There is no getting away
from that proposition, and before alb
solute need is present is the time to
provide for a thing there is no way to
escape.

Good Money in
Good Farming

T. J. Burks, of Iron Mountain,
lessee of thousands Of acres of farm
ing lands in the Iron Mountain tract,
was in Pennington Tuesday evening
on his return from busiess trip. to
his former home ia Charleston. Mr..
Burks has the necessary push and en-
ergy to make success of anything
he undertakes, and therefore his big
lease holdings is proving to be alto
gether profitable. Many of his
friends were exceedingly skeptical
about his ability to farm those thou
sands of acres successfully, but his
crops this year that have already
been harvested indicate that his re-
turns will be altogether satisfactory.
Mr.. Burks informed Times report.
er that. he had this year sold 5000
bushels of wheat for $3.50 per bush
ell. He has also had thresher 1000
bushels of oats, for which he has re-
ceived 80 cents bushel for all he
cared to sell. He also has considera-
BILE corn, all of which Is looking fine,
splendid hay and other crops. He also
has much fine pasturage which is
feeding considerable live stock. There
is no question about there being good
money in good farming, and Mr.
Burks thoroughly understands the
manner of farming good

Canning Season Now On
AT State Hospital No. 4

This excellent canning organization
is composed of the regular kitchen
force, under the management Of
Chief Cook Lockledge, without the as
sistance of a single salaried assistant.
The manner of canning is the "cold
pack process" which is recommended
by the government, and which has al
ready been proven entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t is estimated by those in
charge that there will be at least $751;
600 worth of vegetables put up, con-
sisting of 5000 gallons of tomatoes,
5000 gallons of string beans, 30 bar
rels of whole pickles, IL barrels of
chop pickles and 25 casks of kraut.
A 3-acre patch Of tobacco and a
large patch of celery particularly inn
pressed the reporter with their ex-
cellence. A gentleman who is some
thing of an expert in tobacco culture,
who has just returned from the Ken
lucky fields, stated that the patch at
the State Hospital was the finest he
had seen. Perhaps the principal rea-
son for the excellence of the crops at
that institution is the fact that Phil
ip Luithle is in charge of the garden
ing operations, and has been for a
number of years. He Is the right man
in that place, as he has often proven
his ability in the winning of many
premiums at State and International
Fairs. Out of twenty-four exhibits
he made at the recent Sedalia Fair,
he secured seven first premiums, sew
en- seconds, and three thirds. He is
now preparing even better exhibit
for the international Fair. which will
soon be held in Omaha, Neb., and if
he sustains his past record, the splen-
did record of State Hospital No. a
will be we'll sustained there.
The above is but a brief resume of
the truly wonderful garden produc-
tion at that splendid institution. All
other operations there are on the
same noteworthy scale. And perhaps
the most pleasing part of such ex-
ceptional production is that it is the
result of the we'll directed work of the
inmates themselves. whose mental
condition is also improved from such
J efforts.

WHO PAYS FOR THE ADS?

It is common to hear non-adver-
tising merchant say that he doesn't be-
lieve in advertising, but gives his
customer the benefit of the money he
saves by not advertising. Let US ex-
anime this statement and see now
much truth it contains.
g, Judicious advertising sells more
goods for the merchant, turns his
stock quicker and makes it possible
by increasing the volume of business
to buy in bigger quantities and obtain
a bigger discount. Increasing the vol
ume of business and decreasing the
selling cost. A merchant will sell
cheaper, if possible, because ne Will
thus gain customers from his COM
petitors, and also increase the demand,
as lowering the price of an article
places it within the reach OF larger
percentage of the people and is thus
a stimulant to trade.
If the consumer does not pay for
the advertising, who does pay! 1t
cannot be the advertiser, as advertis-
ing increases his sales, decreases his
selling cost and increases his profits.
The advertier doesn't pay. because ad-
vertising pays him. Y,g7. ~ .
Then who pays for the Advertising?
The advertiser pays for the ad,
vertising done by his competitor All
the business he loses to his advertls-
ing competitor is part of the price
he pays. The no-adver.;ser and the
poor advertiser, each in proportion,
pay for the ads of the good advertiser.
Exchange.

Comparatively few citizens, right
here in Pennington, The. Times ven-
lures, have even a correct. smattering
knowledge of the many activities that
are constantly going forward at State
Hospital No. 4. About all that the
great majority of the citizens of Far
mington know of that institution is
that it is making good" and that a
drive through those well kept grounds
brings to view most attractive sights.
This is about as far as the informa-
ton of the average Farmingtonian
goes regarding the excellent work
that is constantly going forward there,
under the splendid management Of
that institution.
A Times reporter was again splen-
didly entertained there Wednesday af-
ternoon> in being shown over the
abundant and surprising garden by
the affable and companionable Stew
ard, Norman E. Bugg, than whom
there is none more competent to hand
out facts regarding the work and ac-
tivities constantly in progress at
State Hospital No. A. He walked with
US until we were tired through appar-
emily unending vistas of perfectly
kept garden, where practically every
kind of vegetable and plant could be
seen in most vigorout development.
So enticing was the sight that our ia
tigue was not apparent until the
sightseeing trip had been finished.
Another most engaging sight,
where considerable time was spent,
was in the canning department of the
main kitchen, where scores of patients
were busily engaged in preparing and
canning tomatoes. Each worker had
particular assignment, in which
they had invariably become expert,
so that they progressed with surpris-
ing rapidity and with absolutely nc
friction. The work produced there
would be entirely creditable to reg
ular canning factory. An idea of the
magnitude of the canning industry
there can perhaps be secured by many
with the knowledge that practically all
vegetables used there throughout the
winter season is produced and canned
there.

Zeal Increases for
Business Unity

Work is still going on in deter
mined and enthusiastic manner to-
ward the organization of really live
and active business organization in
Pennington. While not much noise
is being made, much efficient and nee
essary work is being done, which will
add stability and usefulness to the
organization when it is really and tru-
ly perfected.
Apparent delay has been caused by
the inability Of Hon. Frank Carter,
President of the st. Louis Chamber of
Commerce, and Mr.. Baer of the same
organization, to visit Pennington this
week, as both gentlemen are out of the
city. Both these gentlemen have sent
word that they could visit Farming
ton next week, but the principal NOV
ers in the proposed organization here
have decided next week would not be
the most suitable time for the meeting
that is proposed for the visitors.
The Chautauqua will be in this city
next week, and for that reason it was
thought advisable to postpone the
final organization of the Commercial
Club to the following week, when it
will doubtless be the earnest desire of
every citizen of Pennington to give
her former prominent citizen--now
President Of the st. Louis Chamber of
Commerce--a fitting reception on his
return to his "old home town., for the
purpose of lending assistance and ad-
vice in the proper formation Of live,
working, enthusiastic business organ
ization, which will mean much for the
good and advancement of this town
and community.

Chevrolet Starts
Fire of It's Own

About 6:15 Saturday morning the
fire whistle sounded, and the blaze
proved to be in Tom Ayers automo-
bile repair shop. Early arrivals sue
ceeded in putting out the blaze which
was caused by Chevrolet, 1919 mod
eli. belonging to Ben Guther; Of New
Offenburg. The car was badly burned,
and the joists above in the shop where
it was sheltered were considerably
scorched, though had not yet actu-
ally started to burn. :.
Mr.. Guthrie had brought the car in
the evening before and left it for re-
pairs. A short circuit was response
BILE for the blaze, which would soon
have-demolished the car and perhaps
have caused the shop to be consumed.
Mr.. Ayers is now busy repairing the
car, which will be a considerably
larger Job than was originally intend,
ed. The blaze had practically Quilted
the car, the tank, which was about half
full of gasoline, had not exploded.
