LEXINGTON- CD R EGO M ft CHAFF FEOM THE STRAW STACK The winnings of many gamblers go up in smoke. Girls, the surest way to catch a husband is not to try. , Love may be blind, but the average mother-in-law isn't. . It Is the bloomer girl that is not afraid to show her independence. A man's life should be like a ' good watch case, full of good works. Vhen a man goes out on a lark he sometimes comes back on a stretcher. A Minnesota woman fasted 39 days to get rid of apoplexy and then had to take it with her... .. ' We know a man that is so stingy that if you ask what time it is he takes off two minutes for commission. A Soubrette, is a, girl who talks saucy, kicks high and draws a big salary.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE:, Arrangements have been made with the Stat Association to publish rheir communications on this subject Ed. The Boston Transcript publishes an article that will find hearty endorse ment by Oregon Women. It says: "That reform has won such a vic tory In Philadelphia is due (as the new leaders willingly concede) in large measure to the influence of the good women of the Quaker City The wom en brought into the campaigh, it ap pears, the most approved and perfect ed plans. They were Instant and prompt In method. ; "The work of the women in both the great cities of the Atlantic sea board, this fall, for the purification of municipal administration, is significant and Impressive. It is regarded In some quarters, and with manifest show of reasonableness, as an Index a': the distinct trend of the times, toward the day when public-spirited and capable women will be called, not only to sub sidiary service, but to the fullest exer cise of their abilities and leisure In civic and national housekeeping." ' Women are daily demonstrating In their clubs and social duties a high ap- titude for method and organization This training enables the up-to-date women to participate in public affairs with credit to herself and benefit to the community. The public spirited wo man needs but the opportunity to apply her patriotism and wisdom to affairs of state and nation. Oregon has many women who could serve with zeal and discretion making' this the greatest state on the Pacific coast. But to have 'a voice In promoting the public good she must be a constituent and armed with the ballot to enforce her views.: Ida Porter-Boyer
