WOMEN TO RULE BY 1877.
Forward Looking Californian Sees
Them Running the World.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 2S.-Prof.
Ralph l.. Powers of the University Of
Southern California says that by 1877
at the latest, women will rule the
world and men will do the housework
and care for the children.
The reason for his belief, as stated
by Prof. Powers in lecture, is that
the widespread advertisement OF
woman in recent years has stimulated
her to all sorts of activities, which
have already begun TO intrench her
as the dominant sex. She is courted
in business, the politicians fear over
throw unless they placate her, and she
has won first place in the news of
the day. Her manifest destiny as ruler
of the world is thus merely matter
of swift development.

"Ten, twenty to forty acres will
call for all the skill and energy 4
man may possess and the perfection
of his small farm will depend upon
his industry. Land that can be hao
at $3.50 to $3.50 per acre with per
