Rankin's Maiden Speech Got
Results

Hon. John E. Rankin made his
maiden speech in the House, on
Saturday. April 80. He spoke on
the Army Appropriation bill. re-
ducing the standing army. His po-
sition on this question was thor
oughly democratic, as may be seen
from a closing excerpt from his
speech, which follows:
This is the most propitious time
we may ever have to begin the re-
duction of our standing army. So
let US begin now to answer the cry
for economy by adopting this
amendment. reducing the standing
army and cutting down public ex-
penses." (Applause.)
1t will be gratifying to the friends
of Mr.. Rankin and all true Demo-
Gratis to learn that the amendment
he was speaking to was agreed to.

The Rotary Club

The Rotary Club, which was or.
ganized in Aberdeen several weeks
ago, fills long felt want in the so.
cial and business activities of the
citizenship of the city. While the
charter setting forth the purposes OF
the association is pending, the
present membership is functioning
in temporary organization and doing
really some material things for the
advancement of the community
Thursday afternoons of each week &,
the twenty gentlemen who at this
time compose the club, meet at a
luncheon and discuss the social,
civic and business things that look
to the advancement of the city
The Chamber of Commerce and
the Rotary Club articulate in
most happy combination. the one
proposing and the other disposing
steps to be taken and visa versa. The
towns that really accomplish to the
degree usually almost
always do so through the workings
of chambers of commerce and ro-
tary clubs. Aberdeen now has both

Unique Feminine Stunt

The women of BolOxi, Miss, as a
practice lesson in voting. will stage
a mock election in that city in
which prospective candidates and
local issues will be tried ont at the
polls. The names of Miss Belle
Kearney and ex-senator James K.
Vardaman will he placed on the
ballot as opposing aspirants for the
United States Senate; also the
names of opposing candidates for
local preferment and sentiment
sought for or against a local bond
issue.
This is a most unique feminine
stunt and indicates the intense in
terest women may be expected to
take in political affairs.
OF course, the practical person
would discover in the result of the
mock election anything more than
the status of local sentiment at the
present time and which could
scarcely be relied on to prevail in
elections a year or more off.

ADVANTAGES DERIVED
Official Test of a Grade HOIStein
Cow

The Holstein-Friesian Associa-
ton does not enter in its Register
of Merit any records of grade cows;
but now and then a grade is Off
cially tested and the results show
the great advantages to be derived
in the grading up of the common
cattle of the country by the use of
purebred Holstein bulls. A notable
instance of this comes to hand from
Michigan. where H. w Crawford,
of Rumley. tested a grade Holstein-
Friesian cow under the supervision
of Prof. A. G. Anderson of the Mich
igan State Agricultural College.
The professors official report of the
test shows that this cow produced,
in seven consecutive days, 728. 5
pounds milk. containing 22.4O
pounds of butterfat. One hundred
and four pounds of milk and 3 1-2
butterfat per day times what the
average common cow of Mississippi
shows at her best, which should
cause Mississippi owners of COM
mon COWS to sit up and takh notice.

No True Woman Will Want to
Do That

The propaganda that few women
will register and take part in dis
posing the political affairs of the
country is doomed to be disproven.
The fair sex has never shirked a
responsibility. and especially one
that has such direct bearing on the
home as honest government hon
estly administered
The woman may have been 10th
to have the franchise thrust upon
her, but now that it has come, she
will be as conscientious and dill
gent in using it as she has shown
herself to be in all other things that
exert influence in the home
In this county. where the invita-
tion has not been generally offered
for women to register, yet where it
has been, many ayailed themselves
of the opportunity and placed their
names on the poll books.
Registrar w. T. Ware. assisted
by Supt. HH G. Howell. made trips
to Willis, Wren and Central Grove
precints last week, where appoint
ments had been made for women to
register About hundred regis
tered. and one of them, Mrs. M E.
Allison. recorded her age at 80
years.
Before the year is out. opportu-
nifty will be given every woman in
the county to register. and it is safe
to predict that more than so per
cent OF them will register.
The woman who refuses to quail
fy and vote, crucifes her opportu-
nifty to better the conditions of her
country, and no true woman will
want to do that.

TrifIes With Opportunity

The following dispatch from Kan
sas tells much in nutshell:
As many as 1900 Kansas farms
last year were without q head of
cattle of any kind; more than 4S.-
900 farms did not have a single
hog, while more than $4,000 farms
did not sell dollars worth of poul-
try and eggs"
The dispatch goes on to say that
the farmers in that section of Kan
sas are discouraged and that fail
ure attended their operations last
year. The cause of this is obvious.
The. cow, the hog and poultry are
essential to the success of any farm,
and the farmer who does not have
them. invites failure to begin with.
Cream. milk, meat, eggs and pOul-
try constitute a present means to
tide the farmer during times when
immediate cash is needed. These
things always command it at a bet
ter margin than many of the field
crops which must be matured be-
fore marketed, which are subject TO
over-prOduction, and which sell for
less than It cost to produce them
when OVerprOductiOn happens.
A COW. a hog and poultry on
every farm is the sesame of success,
and any farmer who denies them
place on his farm trifies with op-
portunity and invites disaster.

LIBRARY NOTES

Have you ever Stopped to think
how much time we spend in plan
ming what we shall put on our
children's bodies and how little in
planning what We shall put in their
minds?
They go to school to be sure, but
that for only FIVE hours day and
about 175 days a year.
What of the years before they be-
gin to go to school and what of the
hours and days each year in which
they are not under instructions?
Have we any deliberate plan to care
for their minds growth as we care
for their bodies?
1t is just as important that chill
dren read good books as it is that
they shall learn to read at all. 1t
would be hard to find any one who
would declare that it is unnecessary
for children to.learn to read. Yet,
reading itself is not the end we
seek, but means to an end-to real
ly love good books so they may be
woven into the child's life, which
deepens and strengthens his future
ability and makes him desire to
make the most of himself and his
opportunities.
The Public Library hopes to lead
our boys and girls to love good
books. By so doing, they will de-
mand that our city shall always ha We
a library; that this library shal
grow until all citizens are proud of
it.
Mothers, if you could see the /
eager faces and happy smiles of the
children as they come for books it
would set you thinking about this
matter. We need more books, for
the children. Look over yonr books
and decide to let other children en-
JOY them.
Call Librarian and she will call
for them. LIBRARIAN.

When the above correspondent
sought to build up Columbus he
should have borne in mind that
there are more ways to build up

its neighbor. Even though he
should have decided to adopt this
method, he should have taken care
to give names and supported state

There will be meeting at the

This is splendid movement as the

work where it doesa where it is most
needed. If the Salvation Army
should stop it's work the community
would not be as safe a place to live

gifts. It is a public servant, doing
the public's reclamation work and as
such is entitled to your support.

Cooperative marketing of live
stock through the central sales agen-
cy established by Minnesota produc-
ers II weeks ago in South st. Paul,
already has saved the farmers, in
cash, more than the total money they
invested in capital stock.
Figures compiled yesterday by the
investigating department of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation show
that since the Central Cooperative
Commission Association opened for
business Aug. 8, it has saved $4,000
for its patrons by handling their
stock at reduced commission rates.
Charges, officials said today, are 20
to IS per cent less than prevailing
rates.
The cooperative agency also has
set aside 20 per cent. Of all commits
sions, surplus estimated at $500.

mission association has handled the
largest business done by any firm on
the market at an operating cost at
least $4,000 less than for an equally
large volume of business without a

The federation's summary in part
follows:
"The margin amounts to $4,000
more than paid in for capital stock.
Savings already are within $4,000 OF
