lead Belt News.
The smallpox situation is assuming
proportions throughout st. Francois
county, and unless every precaution
against the spread of the disease is
taken, a serious epidemic is threaten
ed.
Ninety five cases were reported at
Frankclay this week; one at Lead
wood, one at Pennington, one at Ell
wins and ten at Bismarck:
Many of the cases at Frankclay are
reported serious, and it is feared that
there will be a number Of fatalities
there. Trained nurses have beenim-
ported and guards have been employ
ed to enforce quarantine regulations.
DR.. Williams, U. s. public health Of
ficer, is strongly urging vaccination,
and has asked that all teachers in the
schools bring to the attention OF their
pupils the necessity and Importance
of vaccination.
In the unincorporated towns In the
Lead Belt 1t is always difficult to main
tain an adequate quarantine, owing to
lack of officials to enforce it. For
this reason every citizen should CO.
operate to the fullest extent with what
health officers we have, in seeing that
all cases Of contagious diseases are
reported promptly.

MEN AS HoQsEKEEPERs
No Reason Why They Can't Learn
To Sew and Cook.

Washington, Aug. 14.-"There j!
no reason why a man can't learn tt
sew, knit, darn and cook, it womer
have learned to practice law, medi.
cine and other professions hitherto
monopolized by men," says Mrs. Ed.
ma L. Johnston, prominent suffrage
leader and welfare worker, who be.
lieves that the husband of the fu-
ture will be model seamstress and
housekeeper, in addition to holding
a regular job. ..
Mrs. Johnston, who was congress
sional chairman Of the Equal Suf-
frage Association of New Hampshire
and was manager Of the first United
States employment Office opened in
New York City during the war,
holds that accomplishment is not a
matter Of sex, nor dependent upon
it, but a matter Of qualification re-
gardless of sex. She pictures the
future husband as making the
baby's clothes, cooking, washing,
ironing and doing the family mend
ing right along with his wife.
"The men surely do not want to
let the women get ahead of them in
the matter of Accomplishments, -
Mrs. Johnston suggests, "and if they
assume the attitude Of the average
man that they should stick to what
has been hitherto considered mans
work, while the women 60 ahead and
learn theirs too, that would surely
happen.
"But I am happy to. say that this
is not happening. The men are
learning the domestic arts. Not in
frequently do we hear of men de-
signers, cooks, etc., and they are
doing this in addition to their regu-
lar mems work"
Mrs. Johnston pointed to the fact
that one man, Charles F. Champlin
of Chicago, went into a break bak-
ing contest with 45 women at the
(Ill.), County Fair and car
ried away the first prize, while near
ly every town has its fremen who
are accomplished in the arts Of knit
ting or embroidering.
"The division of work into mascu-
line and feminine is a matter of ira
dition," the suffrage leader contin-

DOLLAR is URGED AS
INTERNATIONAL COIN

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator
Gilbert M. Hitchcock, Nebraska, TO-
day sought support for his plan to
make the American dollar the in
ternational language Of the financial
world. His plan is to make the dol
lar an international coin.
Money talks" declared Senator
Hitchcock, land I want to see the
American dollar made the financial
language of the world"
To do this Mr.. Hitchcock has in
troduced a bill in the senate to Gre
ate q bank of nations in New York
which would issue an international
dollar.
The creator of the international
dollar idea pushed aside series OF
charts showing the much-mussed-up
world financial condition to give
an interview.
He gazed at the ceiling for a mo.
ment and whistled a few bars Of
Reuben, Reuben, I've Been Think
in"
"Music," he exclaimed, as the
thought struck him. "There you are.
It's universal language. An, opera
star sings in French, Italian, Ger
man. The words are lost to US, but
we all understand the music. So it is
with world finance.
"Som Jones, out in Nebraska,
wants to sell his corn, and Beppo Gil
ovanni, over in Italy; and Karl
Schmidt, in Germany, wants to buy
it. They do not speak the same
tongue, but money talks.
"At their present deprecated val
ues and shifting exchange, the lire
and the mark, and all European mon
ey, may be said to whisper. Sans
American dollar, with half the
worlds gold supply behind it,
shouts. Beppo and Karl are willing
to use ito speak the same finan-
cial language"

WELL-TO-DO BEGGAR

New York, Aug. 13.-There are
many poorer occupations than beg
ging, in the opinion of the policeman
who yesterday arrested Mrs. Maria
Elopoulou, aged "a, on a charge Of
begging without license. When she
was searched by a police matron, a
bag containing 1884 was found
tied about her waist. Mrs. Elopoulu
had touched hearts and pocket books
of Brooklynites for several days sit

ued.D because men have always
been engineers or electricians, and
women mothers, stenographers or
housekeepers, some still think the
division of work should be sustained.
Why continue this foolish custom?
"It is the medical opinion that if
women have pronounced positive
qualities and men negatives, it not
infrequently happens that their tai
ents and qualifications are reversed
despite the traditional division of
work.
"Thus we have women lawyers,
women politicians, women bankers
and men artists, sculptors, designers,
and so one down the list. And some
times one hears of a woman steve
dore, and the like. During the war
many women took up these occupa-
tions, as a patriotic service, I real
ize, Of course.
'In some marriages the woman is
the man of the house, it has been
said. She is the positive and re-
sponsible person, and the man is,
the negative and dependent.
"In a certain court case, in fact,
the wife was adjudicated to be the
man Of the family because she was
proven to be the head of the house.
And the child, a boy, about whose
custody a legal contest arose, was
given over to the custody of the
mother.",
Mrs. Johnston superintendent
of the House Detention here, and
she often wonders, she says, why
the boys there can't be taught to
sew and do the same things as
girls.

BULL SNAKE TO HELP
Will Eat All Gophers on Acre Says
Expert.

Will Eat All Gophers on Acre Say'
Expert.
Manhattan, Kan., Aug. IA
full crown bull snake in Kansas al
falfa field is worth at least $3.50 q
month to the farmer on whose land
he lives. .
This is the statistical deduction
of experts at the Kansas state agri.
cultural college here. They arrive at
it in this way:
There are on the average six
gophers to the acre and they damage
the alfalfa crop to the extent OF
about $3.50 a month. A bull snake
Of this kind can keep an acre free.
The calculation are those Of F. l..
Hisaw, mammalogist at the college,
and J. B. Rogers of it's zoology de-
partment.
"a full grown bull SNAKE" says
Mr.. Hisaw, els capable of eating all
the gophers on an acre of alfalfa in
one month and during the six months
of the year is able to clear six acres.
"Alfalfa growers should take SER
ious thought of the economic import
ance of these Harmless snakes. BY
protecting them a great deal Of time
and money can be saved in trapping
and poisoning gophers and other
rodents. , .. ,
"The bull snake feeds on rats and
mice when around the barn or
granary. The only return he asks
for his loyal and valuable service is
the right to live an undisturbed life.

WOOD MAY GET POST.
IL Released by the University Of
" PennsyIvania.

Pennsylvania.
Washington, Aug. determination
of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood as gov
ernor general of the Philippine Is
lands awaited today action by the
University of Pennsylvania to re-
lease him from his promise to become
provost of the institution, but MS
service is the islands may not last
more than a year.
Secretary Weeks said today that
General Wood had yielded reluctant
ly to urgings that he accept the
governorship, preferring to follow
his original purpose of seeking pri-
vate employment. It might well be,
Mr.. Weeks added, that should the
university authorities consent to the
change in plans, General Wood would
remain only year in the islands,
then come home to take up his defer
red work at the university.
Secretary Weeks said the governor
Of Pennsylvania had taken up the
matter with the university authori-
ties and that an early favorable re-
ply was expected. The officer would
remain on the active list of the army
on detached service, Mr.. Weeks ad-
ded, and receive the pay of govern
or general during his service in that
capacity.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 14.-The
fact that the Japanese tariff taxes
lumber per stick, instead of per

40 feet long which weighed six tons.
They will be out into lumber upon
their arrival in a Japanese port.
The largest piece of timber that

DOWN FIGHTING To
STAY BATTLE TIDE

Before a large and enthusiastic
crowd at the baseball park yester-
day afternoon the Putnam High
School made it's debut in high school
football in Florida by being defeated
by Marion High of Ocala by the score
of 26 to 0. Suffering from a slight
attack of stage fright in the first
half when the boys of Marion coun-
ty carried the ball over for four
touchdowns AMI kicked two goals
out of four tries, the local High
School, after a ten minute rest be-
tween halves and curtain lecture
from their coaches, came back in the
second half and played Ocala to a
standstill,, neither side being able to
carry the ball across the goal line
for score during these two periods.
Repeatedly in the second half Put
nam High held their opponents for
downs, and after few short gains
through the lnie, Jarrett for the To-
Gals punted to Smith of the Brick
City, who fumbled and in the scram-.
BILE after the ball an orange jersey
was in possession of it.
Smith Was ,Ocala Star
Ocala used nothing but end runs
with Smith, their fullback, aided by
good interference, carrying the hall.
He proved to be the stellar light for
the Marion county aggregation, but
he was materially aided in his ground
gaining by tn excellent interference
of Quarterback Williams and Hale
backs Hall and Rawls.
The orange and black line of the
locals held like a stone wall during
the second half. The local boys show
ed lack of experience in tackling and
rushing forward to break up plays,
as well as good interference, but
that we refrain from parking cars
on lawns around the church and resi-
dences.
