industrious Folly of the Versailles Conference
Without a Woman"


Previous to our own time there was no mass thought by women
Oh the problem OF the new generation. Before our time there were erv
few women that had a vision broader than their own family interests
indeed, there were few humans that gave any public service unslfshlv
But now we have in every hamlet in the land bodies of earnest women
cropping for the light, puzzled where to start, when so much lis to be done
Can it be that Providence is waiting for a sign from mankind that
will indicate that woman, who bears more than half LIES burden. has been
admitted to her just share in the governing of the world?
Can you explain the monstrous folly Of the Versailles conference
that gathering Of presidents and premers, scientists and sayants and gen.
erals from hither and yon-men from every land and every race-and
among them all not a woman?
Here was a meeting to settle the squabbes of the earth, and woman,
the great specialist in the art of adjustment, a woman who could have
@ntributed So much wisdom to these deliberations, was altogether over
looked. The welfare OF humanity, the fate of mankind, was at stake and
she the mother half Of the world, had not a word to say because those
IN power in all lands considered that what she had to say was Of no
importance.

VALLEY COTTON.
GROWERS PLAN
FOR TOP CROP
Express Opinion That EIimin-

Make Profitable Top Crop
Possible in Valley

The Valley has IN opportunity to
produce top crop Of cotton this year
which will more than offset the dam.
age done by the leaf worm, was the
opinion expressed this morning by a
number of Valley growers who were
discussing the crop situation. They
We're unanimous in declaring that thp
loss caused by the leaf worm would Nv.
eragc ~ least % per cent for the en-
tise Valley, and they also declared that

durcd which will be almost a. hcav,
Az the first crop.
The boil wcevil has heretofore been
the principal obstacle 10 the produc-
tioE of profitable top crop in the
Valley, of the growers stated
"hu, the ravagcs Of the leaf worm has
practically eliminated all danger To
top crop from this source. There can ~
no doubt that in a week or two. under
ordinary conditions. the Valley cotton
fields would have been badly infested
with weevils, but the loss OF foliage

had not defoliatcd the cotton there is

The growers recommend that IN

bic the fields irrigated and well cul
tiyated, expressing the opinion that tn

Reports from all parts or the Valley
indicate that the leaf worms are now

will elapse before the next "crop" %
the pests will mature, and growers ex
press the opinion that they will soon
disappear ~ there Is very little left
for them to cat.
II do not believe "A top crop woulc
be menaced by either the leaf worm
or boil weevil. one of the growers
stated. "Of course. a top crop is seldom
successful in the Valley. but believe
conditions are right for X this year"
