None OF them had enough faith in
Rumania to sell them for anything eX-

Then the president of an American
concern, who had been selling locomo-
tives to Poland, came to Rumania. An
interview was arranged between him
and the Queen, who presented such "a
strong argument on tho future Of her
country and its resources that the
hard-headed business American agreed
to furnish locomotives and rolling
stock and to take in payment Ru-
mania's national bonds.
The Queen believes in Rumania and
she knows how to convince others, be-

FARMERS Save MONEY
BY MARKETING WOOL
ON COOPERATIVE PLAN

Farmers of Tennessee received
$5,9o9.72 more for their wool by mar
keting comparatively this season than
they would have received had they fol
lowed the usual practices OF selling,
according to a report issued by c. E.
Brehm, marketing specialist, Division
of Extension, University OF Tennessee.
The county agricultural agents and
the marketing specialist assisted the
farmers of the state In marketing a
total Of 90, 76O15 pounds Of wool, which
sold for a total Of $33,557.53. The
prices for clear wool ranged from ALI
to AIN cents per pound light bury
81 to SIN cents medium bury % to
2S&, and hard bury 10 to 221a cents.
Considering the condition of the wool
market, and the results Of sales neid In
other states. Mr.. Brehm states that
the sales this year were uniformly
satisfactory and worth developing to
a greater degree next year
West Tennessee led the state In the
amount of wool sold comparatively, the
total amount being 47,T73 pounds,
which sold for $16,24484, being a good
net gain to the farmers over the price
they would have received otherwise.
Henry county led the state in number
of pounds sold and the number Of
farmers cooperating In the sale. This
county sold 1909 pounds of wool
which was contributed by 1877 farmers.
J. A. Patrick, county agricultural
agent, says that the sale was one Of
the best examples the farmers of the
county had eyer witnessed as to the
value Of cooperation. Division Of Elk
tension officials are highly gratifed
with the results of the wool sales and
believe that 1t will lead to, an extern
sion of cooperative selling, not only
in wool, but In other farm products.

conditions for all the peoplel
Isn't 1t evident that when mothers
are represented in government and
their opinions and interests are con-
suited, babies have better chancef
Isn't 1t proved that women with the
ballot do not neglect their homes and
babies?
Giving the ballot TO women not only
helps them to do their own work more
effectively but actually increases the
wealth of the nation, both In man
power and in dollars and cents.
The lowest death rate recorded In
the 1920 World Almanac figures was
in equal suffrage Seattle, WASH,
where in 1917 1t was SO per 1000
population. The next lowest was 10
per 1000 in Boise, Idaho, in 1918, and
the next was 7.3 In Berkeley, Cal, In
1917.
Full suffrage Colorado pays S14S
per capita for charities, hospitals and
corrections as against Florids's s1.61.
Colorado has $40 prisoners per 100,-
600 population committed In 1910 az
against Florida's 1,307 per 100000
population-less than half as many.
According to the United States
census for 1910, the number of pau
pers In almshouses in full suffrage
Kansas was 735 as against Connect
cuts 2,244.
According to the same census, Con-
necticut has the second largest num-
Der of paupers Of any state In the
Union, 201.S per 100000, the largest
number being In New. Hampshire,
1902 per 100000. Both Of these are
mafe suffrage states Kansas has 4S.6

the lowest record Of all. 20 per 100.-

LOWEST INFANT DEATH RATE
IN FULL SUFFRAGE COUNTRIES;
BALLOT SAFEGUARDS The HOME
New Zealand First Country Grant Suffrage TO Women,
Has Lowest Infant Mortality Rate in the World
Women Use Ballot to Further Legislation for Home
and State.

In days gone by dire accusations
were brought against women who
dared nurse an ambition TO have
voice in the government Of their coun.
try. Every unlovely eplthet in the
English dictionary-and there are sew
eral-was bestowed upon them. They
were home-wreckers, child-haters,
family destroyers. But year by year
woman suffrage was tried out, country
by country, state by state, and 10
1t was discovered that woman was
using her vote, not to wreck the home,
to protect it; not to the hurt of chill
dreH, to their great good not to de-
stroy the family, to strengthen and
secure it. So widespread has been
the discovery that opponents of
woman suffgage no longer dare make
these charges save in backwoods
places-or places that they consider
backwoodsy. In view Of the facts, 1t
is to flout the intelligence OF a COM
munity to tell 1t that to give a woman
the right to protect her home and her
children by a vote is to make her
hate home and children. Every time
and everywhere that woman gets a
chance TO vote she proceeds to use
that vote for the benefit of home and
children. Consider the record:
Over 100000 babies die every year
In the United States before they are
one year old The National Conser-
walton Commission estimates that an
individual Is worth $4,000 to society.
At this rate the 100000 babies repre-
sent a yearly loss Of $S70,000,000 to
the United States.
Five countries have a lower infant
death rate than the United States.
They are New Zealand, with an infant
death rate Of SO per 1000 births; Nor
way, 6s per 1000; Australia, II per
1000; Sweden, ~ per 1000, and
France, rs per 1000. The women in
all Eve countries leading the list now
have full or municipal suffrage. Wo-
men have had the vote In New Tea
land for twenty years and New Zear
land has the lowest infant death rate
In the world.
In the United States, California, a
full suffrage state, Is the banner Baby
State. 1t has the highest birth rate
In the Union, and a very low death
rate. One of the lowest infant death
rates In the United States, ATT, Is in
Berkeley, California.
In Portland, Oregon, the infant death
rate is 55.1 per 1000 births; in Spo-
kane, Washington, 57.7. Kansas has
reduced Its rate from 100 to 20 since
1t adopted Public Nursing Associa-
ton In 1913 Washington gave women
the vote in 1910, California in 1911,
Kansas and Oregon in 1912.
When, OF all the civilized world. the
country that has had woman suffrage
the longest has the lowest death rate,
and the countries with the next low
est rate all have woman suffrage, can
there be doubt that woman suffrage

Of farming fer the future his slogan
must be better livestock, says L. A.
Richardson, animal husbandry special
ist Of the Division Of extension, Uni
versity Of Tennessee.
The Tennessee farmer must come to
the realise ton Of the fact that 20 per
cent Of the bears, 30 per cent Of the
bulls, 90 per cent Of the rama 70
per cent Of stations and Jacks II the
state are In grade or scrub class Mr..
Richardson states that q conservative
estimate Of the loss to the state en-
nually thru cattle hogs, sheep. horses
and mules sired by these scrubs and
grades is close to 100000.
A calf from good purebred bull
at weaving time Is worth 5000 more
than one sired by grade or scrub
bull; pig at weaving time sired BY
q purebred boar will bring $3.50 to
$500 more than one sired by q scrub
boar; a lamb sired by a good purebred
ram Ia worth an average of $500 more
than one sired by scrub and q colt
sired by q ,purebred stallion or Jack
Is worth 5000 to 5000 more than
one by scrub. With this in mind 1t
is not hard to run the loss 10 the
state and to the farmer and breeder In
to the millions Of dollars The abeve
figures are based on Q great many sire
surveys conducted By county agrteul-
tural agents in the various counties In
Tennessee.
Not only must the Tennessee farmer
be breeder Of purebred livestock but
he must learn to feed this better live
stock, ays Mr.. Richardson. During
the year Of 1919 the average weight OF
oil cattle that came on the market at
Jacksonville, Fla, was $50 pounds /;
New Orleans, 7o0; St. Louis, 1850 /;
Chicago and Kansas City, 1.160. Any
enc gsing over these figures will note
an exceptional variation between the
markets of the Central West and the
South. Two things according to Mr..
Richardson are directly responsible
for this. In the first place cattle on
the Northern and Central Western
markets carried more quality. as a
result Of breeding. This coupled with
an ability 10 feed the better animals
and to grow them out makes the diff
fsrence In weight.
Another interesting feature to be
taken into consideration is the fact
that cattle marketed In the North are
finished six TO eight months earlier
than those marketed In the South.
Good bulls. plenty Of feed In the way
Of pasture and winter roughage Is the
answer to this question. The farmer
who 10 contented to use scrub sires
must consider that every animal sired
by them lost the owner from $50 to
go per head which may web be called

THE WIRE CUTTERS

+ AT the last session of the Florida
legislature a bill was introduced for
mo fence" all over the state. 1t was
defeaed because the owners of free
range cattle in Florida were more
numerous and more powerful than the
owners of blooded stall cattle, and
because the owners of range lands
did not make such as strenuous ef-
forts to have the measure passed as
the free range cattle men did to have
killed.
| AS a result of the present laws in
Florida land owners who wish to cul-
tivat ether land must fence it, or
else suffer the loss of his crops by
rowing herds of cattle. If man
wishes to go into the cattle raising
business all he has to do is to pur-
chase few head and turn them out.
He doesn't have to own foot Of
l SluIlhe lohSC, Uut NQh luht Ills
chances of imposing on others who
do own land.
This condition has existed so long
in Florida that the free range cattle
men regard it as an instrusion upon
their rights to fence a piece of de-
sirable grazing land, no mater who
/, owns it. Whenever land owner
has decided to fence his land and
keep stray cattle out he has usually
been warned that the fence will be
cut. In many instances he is not
warned and he finds, after he has
erected the fence, that the law pro.
tecting private property does not
quite reach to his property.
This lawlessness was certain, some
day, to meet a check In Polk county
the property owners who built fences
have been long suffering from the
wire cutters. Last week three Of
them, prominent cattle raisers, were
killed while engaged in cutting the
fence for the third time, around prop
erty of the American Agricultural
Chemical Co.
In the last issue of the Arcadia En-
terprise Andrew Carter take occasion
to refer to this form OF lawlessness
in announcing his advocacy of county
division He points out how difficult
it is to enforce the laws in counties
the size of DeSoto. Mr.. Carter says:
Looking on the dark side. of the
past four years, we find that property
rights have been violated with i'm
punity and justice has become joke
Large cattle interests seeking to de-
velop our mild lands--having had
their property ruthlessly destroyed
have gone out Of business, To the
personal knowledge OF the writer,
half amillion dollars seeking invest
ment in the cattle industry in this
locality, was diverted to other sec
tons because the fence cutter in
this county appeared to be immune
from punishment Of the law Muir
ders have been committed mad no one
brought to answer. The midnight as
sassin has been able to escape JUS
Itice. But the negr ocrap-shooters of
the turpentine and sawmill camps
and the operators depending upon
their labor-have caught hell.
The condition in Florida is no diff
ferent from that obtaining in the
western states decade ago when cat
tie rustlers roamed the country and
men VIII osought to protect their
property were in peril. But the law
finally prevailed, at the point Of the
shotgun, and it must prevail in this
state-and 1t will.-Palatka News.
