Mixed Sentiment Rules
Transactions in Grain

CHICAGO. Jan. 5.-while there
was sufficient local professional buy
ing early. based on reports of a good
demand for flour at Minneapolis and
a good milling demand for wheat
at Kansas City and rather unfavor-
able crop reports from Kansas, the
buying did not last long, and profit
taking following the advance found
the market poorly supported and a
reaction to under yesterdays finish
followed, with the low prices made
around noon. Sentiment Is rather
mixed. Statistics continue to favor
the buying side. and around 25 per
cent of the winter wheat acreage
has very low condition. but the
absence of speculative buying on a
large scale prevents the market from
responding to these influences except
for short while. and the market
shows a disposition to react as soon
as the buying ceases. Millers were
good buyers of May at Minneapolis
to remove hedges against flour sales.
Receipts small. Offers OF 1000 900
bushels seed wheat for Russia have
been asked for by the Grain Cor
poratio
Corn and oats held rather narrow
limits. but showed a rather heavy
undertone. with some pressure from
cash houses, presumably hedging
against purchases to arrive late yes
terday. Country offerings over night
in all sections were reported as rather
light. but there was an absence of
general buying OF futures, and the
decline was rather easily attained,
the reaction in wheat being a factor.
Exporters were after cash corn here
and at Minneapolis, but bids were
somewhat below a working basis.

sideration since the granting Of the
privilege to vote. All laws or leg
islation proposed for enactment
that have any bearing whatsoever
on the American home, directly or
indirectly, should be given the
thoughtful consideration of the
women, as they are the home
makers, the Republican chairman
said.
Sentiment Gone.
Men used to be more sentimental
about women being granted the
right OF suffrage, saying that WON
ans place was in the home, with a
new gingham dress on, baking
warm biscuits for tea, and that 1t
would be presumptive to expect
her to bother her pretty head about
affairs of state, and that it would
tend to make the women of this
country masculine and that she
should not be contaminated by en-
tering the livery stable or various
other voting places to cast her vote,
Mrs. Carlson said However, that
day is past, women have awakened
to their legal rights.
THE woman of today, If sne
takes advantage of her opportuni-
ties, can enter practically any trade
or profession and almost daily we
read of the exalted position some
woman has attained" DR.. Carlson
concluded. Women in this county
are more active, and every day we
find that they are taking interest
in political affairs of country, state
and county"
The Rock Island Argus and daily union., 1922-03-14

Women should not band to-
gether to vote as a body because
of their sex, but affiliate with a
party or vote from their own stand
point of efficiency and Qualification.
DR.. Hada M. Carlson, supreme ply
slcian OF the Royal Neighbors Of
America. and recently appointed
chairman of the Rock Island wom-
ems Republican committee said to-
day.
Il believe that a woman should
be appointed as a head of a wom-
ans committee just to encourage
women to VOTE" DR.. Carlson said,
but / do not advocate a group of
women combining for the simple
reason of voting because their sex
wish to put over a certain PROPOSE
ton.
81 do not believe the average
American woman expects or hopes
to speedily revolutionize the poll
tics of this country, neither do ]
personally feel that the wome;.
should pose as Independent sex
candidates and yet lay claim to
party affiliations. If q woman is a
candidate for Office, in my opinion
she should advocate her candidacy
from the standpoint of efficiency
and qualification other than the
fact that she is a woman
