of production which dates from the
changed conditions since our entrance
into the World War. but there is a
permanent inclination to advance In

diminution Of supply
No one can be blind TO the fact that
during the tremendous growth OF the
republic during the past half century
we have been drawing on our natural
timber supply without thought of the

Hawaiian Islands some FIVE years ago

CHICAGO, Feb. l4.-Elected per-
manent convention chairman of the
congress Of the League Of Women
Voters, meeting in connection with
the last annual gathering of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage
Association, Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait today outlined policies Of the
new organization, and declared wom-
en- should affiliate with political
parties.
Mrs. Cats keynote address came
at the conclusion of the first session
of the new league at which organi-
zatiOn work was begun.
Today's meetings closed with the
ratification celebration banquet to-
night, At which prominent suffrage
workers addressed the two thousand
delegates.
There seems to be some misun-
derstanding regarding the League of
Women Voters" Mrs Gait declared.
There is evident opposition, large
ly political.
Persons interested in enrolling
members in their political parties are
making rather cutting criticisms.
They think the league will keep the
women out of politics. That must
not be. For sixty years we have
waited for political parties to give
Us the vote. No state has given it
until the political parties had con
sented.
Are we going to continue to petit
tion them, AS we always have done?
If so, what was the use of getting
the vote? -a----a--r
"The only way to get things is
from the inside of the political par
ties. There are inner circles in the
parties where you will not be want
ed, but it is just there that you must
go. There is a danger, too, that you
will be too timid. too conservative.
If you are going TO trail along five
years behind the parties, il would be
better that you never took up poll
ties. Be five years ahead.
Mrs. Gait said she had been fight
ing for suffrage thirty years. II

stitution Of the league today. Af-

Seven directors would represent di-

General Luis Caballero, following the
count, which resulted i'm President
Carranza's setting the election aside,
and caused Caballero to take the field
against the CarranZa government.
He recently surrendered, however,

AMERICAS FRUIT, THE APPLE
People Are Beginning to Show It Proper Appreciation, and Crop
 Should Be Increased.

Americans are coming to treat ap- ples more as a food and less as between-meals superf1uity than they used to do, yet when the north wind blows and the freside glows they can't refrain from paying especial at- tention to the question whether there is a plenty of them. This year. the farm reports tells us, there is not. There are, in the whole country 1.O91 .OOO barrels fewer than there were in 1918, and almost the same shortage from the crop of 1915, though we are considerably better off than we were in 1917. That is, we have 24,OOOOOO barrels this year. That's about one for each family in the country, and each family, not each member thereof, might, if they were evenly distributed, have one apple a day. The true lover of apples will never admit this to be sufficient. and he should not.
 It is not especially cheering to learn that the country's crop of ap- ples does not tend to increase. Our record crop was in 1912, but we had almost as many in 1896, and the crop in 1895 was greater than that Ill either of the past four years. But the apple is Americas fruit, the most satisfactory, the most dependable, the most healthful fruit in the world.- Hartford Times.

No Horses on laroest Farm.

A 200,0OO-acre farm, the largest In the world, which Is the direct result of the governments efforts to stimulate the growing of wheat, is described by Robert H. Moulton in Everybody's.
 ''The farm Is devoted entirely to wheat, and If 1t produces somewhere around the country's average of twen- ty-eight bushels per acre, which is practically certain, 1t will add appro1i- mately 5.65O.OOO bushels to the 1919 wheat crop" says the writer.
 "All of the work is being done with tractors. Last fall when the first ground was broken, there were fifty monster machines at work tearing up the prairie sod. They blow on an average of one acre a minute for the working time. A record was made one day of 1880 acres turned and broken. All the seeding. harvesting, etc, will also be done by tractors, and then. of course there are the thrash ing machines. Hence, the absolute uo-accountness of horses about this place."
