WOMEN FIGHT JURY SERVICE
Reported Some Will Refuse to Vote
On Account of That Fact.

1t is reported that many women
are refusing to vote simply because
of the fact that they are subject to
jury duty, after voting says the
Hampton Chronicle.
It is fact that women are subject
to be drawn for jury service if they
vote in the general election, but 1t
is not so in the primary election
which will be held on June 9Th.
Every woman should vote in the
primary election on June 9Th, be-
cause she not only does her duty in
assisting in the election Of good men
to office, but she does not obligate
herself for jury service. A. the
general election, which is held in
November, the jury list is made up
from the names Of persons who vot-
ed in that election, but in the pri-
mary election The poll books are not
used 10 select names for jury ser
vice, or for any other official pur-
pose.
The fact that women are making
it known that they are going TO re-
fuse to vote if it means that they
are to be drawn for jury service is
evidence that the law ought to be
changed which forces women to
serve on juries. Some women may
delight to serve on juries, but most
of the women of this country do
not care to get out of the sphere of
real womanhood, and mingle with a
mixed jury all night, with all kinds
of subjects up for discussion, and
frequently of the most nauseating
kind.
Remember, however, that women
can vote at the primary election in
June without running any chance Of
being drawn for jury service. The
primary poll books are not used for
making out jury lists.

Nv Elder Brother

Brother John is fond of kidding
For he calls me just a kid,
and would have me do his bidding
When he knows | never did.
He is only two years older
Than | am, then why should |
Let him tote me on his shoulder
When | am so young and Spry.
For a hundred years and over
| have seen the golden sun
Rise and set on fields of clover
And his daily journey run
We grew up as boys together
In the happy days gone by
Like two oak trees on the heather,
Soul TO soul and eye to eye
We had dreams that came to cheer US
With their bright and golden glow
And the land of promise near US
That we yeaned to enter so.
And we heard the voice of duty
Calling gently all the while,
In this world 50 full of beauty
AS we journed mile by mile
We have seen the shadows lengther
From the noon tide till today,
But our spirits seem to strengthen
Though our locks have long been gray
Soon, in peace we shall be going
To that land of joy above,
Where the zephyrs will be blowing
As they sing their songs of love.

County Auditor Oscar Winger IS q
candidate for denomination on the
Republican ticket at the June prl-
mary 10 succeed himself.
Mr.. Winger is perhaps one of the
most efficient and painstaking audi
tors Winneshiek county ever had
The duties of this office have In
creased tremendously the past few
years, and Mr.. Winger has taken
care of every detail in a manner that
has placed his office in a high state
of service to the general public.
Mr.. Winger is an official who can
stand on his record Of service fol-
the county, and the accounts OF his
department have always been found
correct and approved each year by
the state accounting department.
He has made Winneshiek county a
mighty good auditor, and has scores
of friends who wish to see his SER
vices retained.
The auditors office under Auditor
Winger's regime has been run on
most economical plan, as he has
not requested extra help, performing
it himself, and this saving alone has
easily amounted to $500 or more
year.

HOyDEN MAY MAKE FORTUNE
DEBORAH Man Has 900 Acres in vi
Region Of Montana

Ed X. Hovden of Decorah is feel
ing rather jublant these days over
the prospect of oil ON his large tract
of land near Milestone, Mont, where
he has 5000 acres.
The newspaper of that town, the
Milestone Messenger, says that two
car loads of Standard rig material
belonging to the Hubbard Oil Co. Is
on the track at Hubbard. This was
preceded to that point by big truck
load of machinery belonging to the
same equipment.
The land in this vicinity was test
ed out last fall and oil was found
in sufficient quantities to start the
big rig.
If this rig is fortunate in striking
oil It means a fortune for Mr.. How
den. His land is rs miles west of
Miles City, Montana.

The Coon Rapids Enterprise says
"This man Brookhart has a plat
form that will attract considerable
attention and win a lot of votes. But
Brookhart has one weakness-want of
confidence of the thinking voter,
which will defeat him. He is built
on the plan of the agitator who has
little standing in Iowa. Pickett so
far is the ablest man mentioned for
