Women Still Working
for Extra Session

Mrs. Helen C. Twitchell of Bellows
Falls, with other Representatives of
the Rockingham Equal Suffrage as
ISOLATION and some Middlcbmy ladies,
visited Gov. Clement Wednesday urg-
ing him to call an extra session of the
Vermont Legislature to ratify the
suffrage amendment.
Asked as to whether or not he
gave them decision the governor
said: 81 simply told them that had
not decided to call the session up 10
this time Gov. Clement said that
no arguments which brought out
anything new were presented.
The most eminent lawyers in the
state are sustaining the contention of
suffra2ists that the federal suffrage
amendment is constitutional, as OPP
posing Governor Clements view that
it so affairs and infringes upon the
state constitution that the Legislature
cannot legally ratify it.
A notable contribution to the legal
aspects of the case has been made by
Folmct Congressman Plumley which
takes strong ground against Gov.
Clements position.
The impression seems to prevail
both at Montpelier and Burlington
that Coy. Clement will eventually
yield to the demands of the Vermont
women and call an extra session.

Colcord Nearly Captures His Chicken
Thief

The chicken thief swho has enjoyed
many good meal from G. D. Col
cords roost of Plymouth Rock chick
ems, visited the roost again last Sat
urday evening at nine o'clock, but
he didn't get the chicken he had so
boldly come after.
Colcord was standing at one end
of his residence when the heard the
rear gate open and altho it was quite
dark, plainly saw the features of a
two-legged skunk, probably six feet
tall, enter the rear yard and after
stopping for moment to make GER
tain that the coast was clear, walk
boldly into the poultry house. Col
cord grabbed good sized rock, start
ed for the poultry house, expecting
to engage in mortal combat with the
intruder, who must have heard the
gentle footsteps of the owner ap-
preaching, for he crawled thru email
opening used by the poultry to en-
ter the chicken yard, and with the
agility of an acrobat jumped the high
fence ut the rear of the lot, disap-
pearing in the alley. AS he went over
the fence, Colcord gave him q part
ing salute with the rock, but his base
ball arm being out of practice, must
have missed his victim. The fellow
came from the south and left in the
same direction. He was slender and
tall, but Colcord wants it strictly
understood that he is casting no In
sinuations, as there are any number
of men in the city who might answer

Made Money With Sheep

Agricultural College, N. d., May 3.
Il. A. Havens, farmer near Lark,
Grant county is confirmed in the opin-
ion that sheep raising in southwest
ern North Dakota is profitable. Be
sides his opinion, he has several thou
sand dollars profits after five years
of experience in raising sheep on
small scale, according to county agent
4. c. Newcomer.
Starting in December, 1914, Mr..
Havens has invested $717.5O and re-
ceived gross income of $3,837.4O,
leaving credit balance Of $3,119.90,
only small percentage of which can
be charged to pactures, shelter, feed,
labor and interest on investment.
Russian thistle is delicate It'd
bit and wild oats form a substantial
dessert for the :heep, and Mr.. HavegNs
says that The only weeds left on his
farm grow along the roadsid1s, where
fences prevent the sheep from feed
ing.
Mr.. Havens started with 20 head
Of sheep in 1914 valued at $145, pur-
chased 40 ewes for 5000 and ram
for $35 in 1915, and bought % head
in 1918 for $337.50. In 1915 he sold
200 pounds of wool for $63 and SIX
lambs for $50; in 1916, 500 pounds
Of wool for 5000 and 90 sheep and
lambs for $100; in 1917, $50 pounds
of wool for $240 and sheep $50, and
in 1919, 700 pounds of wool for $371
and sheep for $1OO. In 1919 he had
on hand 125 ewes valued at $3.50.
