HOW WILL THE WOMEN VOTE?


The favorate question going the
rounds of the Eastern newspapers is:
How will women vote?
1t is rather foolish question, for
in various Western States women
have been voting for some time. IN
this part of the country one is apt
to treat the matter as something new
1t isn't. The franchise is extended to
other localities, that is all.
What has happened IN seetions
where women have been voting?
Nothing. Political parties are no.
overturned. Nor will they be else
where. In Virginia tens of thousands
of women will not vote at all. just
as they refuse to go to the polls IN
Commonwealth where they have had
the privilege. Those who have been
clamoring for the ballot will follow
the husbands and sons and brothers
of the household and Virginia vii! &c
strongly Democratic.

NOBLE BAND OF =.
WOMEN TO meet
HERE next YEAR
KINGS DAUGHTERS 25TH ANNUAL
" CONVENTION WILL ASSEMBLE
HERE IN 1921.
Invitation Extended by the Guided
Circle to the Recent Convention at
Clarksvile Is notwithstanding in
Octobe..
.(From Fridays Daily Herald.

! Columbia next October will be hon.
oner by being the host of one of the
finest assemblies in the state, of Ten.
nessee. For during that time the
state convention of the Kings Daugh-
ters will meet here. It. will, ,berthe
jubilee meeting of the Kings Daugh-
ters of the state, who were organic
ed 2 quarter OF century ago, and will
probably be the most largely attend
ed and important convention that, the
order has ever held.
The announcement that the next
convention would meet in Columbia
was made at the meeting of the local
circle on Thursday afternoon by Mrs.
Frank F. Everett, one of the delegates
to the Clarksville. convention. Mrs.
Everett extended an invitation to the
convention on behalf of the Guided
Circle to meet in Columbia in 1921
and it was accepted by the delegates.
The local circle is very much graft
fed over the opportunity that it will
have to play host to this devoted
band of Christian women who have
wrought so much 'In His Name" in
Tennessee during the past twenty-five
years.
There will be probably 200 dele
gates and visitors in attendance at
the convention and their entertain
ment will be an easy matter because
it will be a pleasure for the people
to open their homes to such splendid
women. The order has had fine
growth in Tennessee and some inter-
esting reports will be heard at the Ju-
bilee convention.

COMMUNITY FAIR MADE
POSSIBLE BY CLUB GIRL


Mill Point community in Sullivan
county had never had a fair, and in
fact there had never been one in that
whole locality. H. NJ. Cox, the county
agricultural agent and Miss Carrie
Lovett; home demonstration agent
made a visit to the community early
this fall, visiting the Mill Point
School and outlining plans for fair.
Some thought that it was an impos-
sible undertaking. They were told at
first that the fair could not be held in
the school building. however, later
this was granted.
In the face of this situation Miss
Anabel Harr, president of the Four
H Canning Club, and who is only about
Is years old, took charge of things.
She started advertising the event and
urging people of the neighborhood to
attend and bring exhibits. AS a re-
suit of her work there was a good at
tendance and some splendid exhibits
Of farm, garden, orchard and home
products were on display.

(From Saturdays Daily Herald.

(From Saturdays Daily Herald.)
Demand for the high quality butter
and other products of the Dimple Ice
Cream & Creamery Company ID grow.
ing so Rapidly that it is with difficulty
that the company can get the necessa.
ry cream to supply them. The dry
weather has, of course, cut> down the
pastures badly and this has reduced
the normal supply of cream, but the
| increase in the demand has made il
necessary to make larger purchases
than had been expected.
| In order to encourage the produc.
| ton OF a larger amount of cream by
the farmers who are supplying the
creamery big deal has just been clos
ed with the Dimple Milling Company
of this city for the purchase of large
quantity every week of the dairy feed
of the latter concern. This .feedstuff
will be purchased by the creamery for
the lowest possible wholesale price.
In turn it will be sold by the creamery
to its customers at absolute cost. Not
cent of profit will be charged to any
of the customers of the creamery. This
will enable those who supply it with
milk and cream to buy high class
feed for their dairy cattle at low
price. II
], B. Lowell, general manager of the
creamery, himself a PRACTICAL dairy
man of long experience. declares that
ne better dairy feed is made anywhere
that the Dimple product, that it is of
an exceptionally high value in sthe
making of milk. He can therefore re-
commend it to his customers.
The Dimple Creamery because of
the high quality of its butter and the
enormous demand for it at above the
ordinary market price. is enabled to
pay the farmers sixty-two cents for
butter fat This is considerably. above
what the country's market quotations
would ordinarily justify. The. farmers
who have dairy cattle land who are
supplying the Dimple Creamery at the
price of sixty-two cents a pound for
butter fat are in better position to
stand the decline in other farm pro-
ducts than their neighbors. For they
are getting feed cheaper and an above
the average price for butter fat.
