Mrs. Lillian r. Sire, president of

eating of women and men to a new
political consciousness.
The work of Introducing woman's

making progress every day and a
higher standard of conduct in poll

women into their confidence and con-

with his duties as fire marshal, for
the prevention and investigation of
unknown origin of fires, especially of

proximately five schoolhouse fires
every day.
Many of these fires endanger the

buildings that cannot burn and by
safe guarding structures SO as to
make them safe" continued Com
missioner Smith.
Now is the time for the critical
inspection of school buildings before
heating plants are again started. A

perhaps the lives of children during
the next winter.
1T should be remem bered that
children are compelled by law to go

their safety is therefore absolute.

New York.-Returning from an ex'
tensive trip throughout the west and
laden with first-hand information on
general business conditions there,
Judge Robert s. Lovett, chairman Of
the executive committee and the board
of directors of the Union Pacific Rail
road Company, predicted a decided
revival of traffic in the latter part Of
the summer, provided crop prospects
remain good.
Until July, however, he believes
business will continue extremely duh,
and as a consequence little improve
ment in the volume of traffic is ex-
pecte Immediately.
The prospect of an excellent crop
was never better, he declared, and,
contrary to an opinion that seems to
be widely held, acreage has not been
diminished as a result Of large grain
stocks left on the hands of farmers.

Judge Lovett emphasized the fact
that the condition of farmers in the

the lineup in the house on emergency
tariff legislation since the FOrdney
measure was passed in the last session,
only TO be vetoed by the president,
were revealed during general debate
on the Young emergency bill, which
includes antidumping and foreign ex-
change provisions.
For five and half hours the debate
proceeded and was marked by a dra-
matte contribution on the part of
Bourke Cochran, democrat, Of New
York, q veteran of other years, who
is again in Congress Asserting that
danger lies ahead in a policy of attemp-
ing to cure all the cOuntrys' ills by
legislation, Mr.. Cochran predicted

when those lines do form, as they
Eurley will, they will not stand in silent
submission, as they have done before.
I apprehend something more menacing,
more dangerous to civilization, to our
government and to US.

that to much is coming in from the

that there were several reasons why

them being the guiding advice of our
great leader, the president"
Mr.. Treadway's declaration was
quickly followed by a series of cries

side OF the chamber. He replied that
he felt the time had arrived when he

the city.
The pile of flowers and wreaths is
fed with fresh contributions from

Since November IL, 1920. when the

ROADS AID ARGENTINE COTTON
Industry Quadruples in Three Years.
Due to Help Given Farmers by
State Railways.

Buenos Aires.-The cotton industry
in northern Argentina has quadrupled
in importance in three years as result
of aid given to the farmers by the
state railways.
In 1859 approximately 1900
acres were planted, while the 192O-21
crop embraces an area of about 5000
acres.
The crop yield is from 200 to 1000
pounds per acre, according to statistics
published by the railroads, one-third OF
which is fiber and the rest seed. A gin
and a cotton-seed mill have been con-
structed to take care of the crop.
The problem of the Argentine cotton
farmer is lack of labor for picking the
crop. Attempts have been made to use
machinery for this, but these have been
reported as being only partially sue
cessful.
