New Method Of Artificial
Respiration Recommended

The Montana Fish & Game De-
partment which administers the water
safety law in the state, has recon-
mended that boat owners become IA
miliar with the mouth-to-mouth arti-
ficial respiration method. According
to Bob Donlin, water and hunter
safety supervisor, boat operators, on
many occasions, are the first to arrive
ON an accident scene when help is
needed.
BOAT operators may be able to
save lives of swimmers and other
boaters if they learn the mouth-to-
mouth artificial respiration" Donlin
said. Although the older techniques
are of value, the new method is
strongly recommended as the oxygen
rate absorbed by the victim is much
greater. Another advantage is that
the rescuer can begin the resuscita-
ton period while the victim is emerg-
ing from the water, thus avoiding
delays required by other methods
Mouth-to-mouth respiration is simple
and can be learned in a short time.
Many of Montana's deaths due to
drowning in 1859 may possibly have
been avoided if this newest method
had been used, Donlin said.

SOME HISTORICAL
HIGHLIGHTS
Women voted in America long be-
fore the 10Th Amendment was adopt
ed in 1920. AS early as 1851 and up
to 1880 women voted in Massachu-
sets under the old Province Charter.
In New Jersey, women voted until
1907 when new law was passed ex-
Guiding them from the polls.
Two territories gave the vote to
women even before they were adj
mitted to the Union as states: Wyo-
ming in 1869 and Utah in 1870. Other
states which granted the vote to
women before 1920 were: Colorado,
1898; Idaho, 1896; Washington, 1910;
California, 1911; Arizona, 1912; Kan
sas, 1912; Oregon, 1912; Montana,
1914; Nevada, 1914; New York, 1917;
Michigan, 1918; Oklahoma, 1918;
and South Dakota, 1918. In 1913,
Illinois gave women the right to vote
in presidential and municipal cleo
tions.
However, it took 72 years for wom-
en- to win national suffrage. Congress
finally passed the 18th Amendment
to the Constitution on June A, 1919.
1t was August &c, 1920 when Ten
nessee became the 36th state to ratify
the amendment and it became law.
In 1920 when the amendment was
ratified, the potential women's vote
was about 20 million (that is women
over 21). The latest available Census
Bureau figures of July 1859, show
about 55,26O,000 potential women
voters. This means there are about
3,378,00O more potential women vot-
ers than potential men voters. Il

How can a farm afford
the special services it needs?

Farming :. f. Like any other industry
needs the efhciencies and economies of
specialized departments.
The farm business needs sales de-
partment and purchasing department
someone to counsel on insurance
and credit and many more depart
ments to work out important problems.
If 1t weren't for cooperatives, most
farmers couldn't afford these special
lied services. Purchasing cooperatives
supply materials and products of high
est quality at lowest possible cost. Mar
keting cooperatives help improve the
quality of produce and sell it at the
most favorable prices. Mutual iilsur-
ance companies provide protection at
lowest cost. Credit associations lend
money for farm operations.
These cooperatives make farming
more business-like and more profitable.
