off on the wrong foot frequently, as

it is paying the salaries of all slate

a lew suffragists to get rampant and
indignant, for the reason that they
already have the ballot. The only
way ratifying the amendment can af
fect them is solely a matter of pride.
If they want to "make a showing"
and set a pace for their Eastern sis

up a popular subscription among
themselves and raise the amount for
the special session.' The extra ses

at least $75 or 100. That would be
an appropriate amount for each of
the suffrage enthusiasts to donate for
the special session besides they
would thus win added honor.

wives have married Indians. Read
this, and see who carries the water
01 aau farm homes reported in
the O. A. C. home demonstration sur
vey 402 had no running water in the
house but carried It an average dis
tance of 36 feet. That calls for
traveling "2 feet for one bucket of
water. The homes have no sink and
the water has to be carried out again
perhaps about as far. The practice
may make good walkers of the wom-
but it also boosts the high price
of shoes.?
It is well that prohibition leaders
are not going to start a campaign

The story of "Oh, You Women!"

fellow is going to do when he conies

Abe is the pride of Fremont's
"Congress" a bunrh of old coots
which meet every evening In the rear
of Hobart's grocery store to discuss
the political problems .of the uni
verse. In the day time, lAbe sweeps
up the dusts out of the mayor's of
fice, the mayor being old Joe Bush,
a civil war veteran who has held the
job for' 28 years, and who has had
his eye on (Abe as a successor ever
since Abe was a little shaver. The
old major Is as proud of Abe as
though he were his own son, and
the two of them have mapped out
Abe's career right banR up to the
White House, and then some.
The most important woman In
Fremont is little Mary Shelby, the
dressmaker. When any fresh com
mercial traveler ever suggests that
Fremont is a' back number, he Is lead
around to Mary's place and shown
the New York styles. In fact, Alary
takes "Vogue" and everything. Now
Mary Is secretly In love iwlth little
Abe, but Abe Is so taken up with
world affairs that he has no time
for women.
The richest man in the town Is
Alec Smart, a regular up-to-the min
ute Sears-Roebuck sport. Alec loves
Mary and insists on telling her so
several times a day, much to .Mary's
annoyance. v
Finally a cyclone hits the town in
the person of LAurora Noyes, a' club
woman from th city who is the
mayor's cousin, and who has decided
to come down to Fremont and keep
house for him. Aurora brings along
her daughter, Lotta Noyes, a gradu
ate of Strongjaw University, and the
two of them waste no time in or
ganizing a political club, to show the
women of Fremont how out of date
they are intellectually, Industrially,
and politically. Of course thing (he-
