WOMEN WILL WIN.


And so the Virginia legislature
thinks that it has crowned itself with
glory by putting its number mines
down on the woman>s suffrage move
ment. but every discerning woman
well knows that the mere men are
fighting hard to prevent us from hav-
ing vote, because the women are
lust as intellectual as the men, and
just as capable OF. deciding who to
vote for: yes. and some OF them much
more 90. And of course II Is but
natural that they should kick strongly
against the feminine sex securing any
more rights than they already have.
But the women are going'to triumph
eventually, the mere men to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
We trust that our dear brother OF
The Richmond Virginian Is with us on
this subject. For II he Is, we are just
bound to win, anyhow.

Building SHOWS
DECLINE IN MAY
IN BIG CITIES
Letting Down of Building Per-
'mits is Attributed to Lack of
Transportation

Chicago. Ill., June 25.-May building
statistics reflect plainly decline in
building activities, according to the
last issue of the American Contractor.
Returns from 1872 cities give an esti-
mated valuation of only $128,37O, ,237
as compared to a valuation Of nearly
S2O0,000,000 from 200 cities for April
This is only 20 per cent gain over May
1919 operations whereas April opera.
tions showed 115 per cent gain. June
and August were the record-breaking
1919 months but there is no indica.
tion of a June peak this year; possi-
bly, this may have been passed in
April. 1t has. unless the railroads can
be made to function, says The Con-
tractor. The decrease from April &C.
tivity is more noticeable in the larg-
cr cities and the sudden letting down
in issuance of building permits is at
tributed to the ever increasing chaos
in transportation. The average value
of permits per city for May has de-
creased about in proportion to the re-
cession total for all the cities.

AVIATOR CAN'T -,
FLY OVER OCEAN,
\OFFICIAL SAYS

Buenos Aires, June 25.-The minis
try of war has refused to grant per-
mission to the Argentine aviator, Cap
tain Angel Zuloaga, to attempt a flight
across the Atlantic ocean from Lisbon
via st. Vincent to Pernambuco, Brazil,
on the ground that the expenditures
would be disproportionate to the end
to be attained" and because the avia-
tor proposed to use an airplane in
stead of hydroplane. The ministry
pointed out that the flight Of Captain
Alcock, the British airman, across the
north Atlantic in an airplane cannot
be regarded as having demonstrated
the practicability of Zuloagas pro-
posals and furthermore. it would cost
not less than $440.00O to maintain two
chains of transports along the route
in order to give the aviator a measure
of protection"

Burleigh county must send the best
