3 A VOL. XCIIIL. THE TRIUMPH OF SUFFRAGE. Assessors and Registers Put to Work in Centre County So That Wo- men May Fulfill Requirements of a Voter in Pennsylvania. Tennessee is the thirty-sixth State to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment, which provides that ‘the right of citi- zens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” The adoption of this amendment has been inevitable since it was submit- ted. The immediate question involved in the recent campaign of the Suffragist leaders was to obtain ratification in time to permit the women of the country to vote in the Presidental election next fall. It is a fact of no small significance that the final action should have been taken by a Southern State after the Governors of two New England States had repeatedly refused to convene the Legislature for that purpose, There are still legal obstacles to over- come before it is definitely determined that women ‘are to vote for President of the United State in November, It regarded as inevitable that proceedings will be instituted to contest the validity of thg Tennessee ratification because of a provisiog of the State Constitution that a Legislature must be elected in the in- terval between the submission and rati- fication of an amendment to the Federal Constitution. The clause, however, seems to have been invalidated by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Ohio reterendum case when it held that the ratification of an amendment to the Constitution of the United States was subject only to the provisions of Article V., which could not be modified by ac- tion on the part of any State. The Atl torney General of Tennessee has ruled that this decision makes inoperative restrictive clause in the Tennessee Con- stitution, and Charles E. Hughes togeth- er with other eminent lawyers, is wholly in agreement with that opinion. There- fore, it is not conceivable that with the Nineteenth Amendment lawfully ratifi- is the ed court proceedings can avail to dis franchise 20,000,000 women ing election. he Pennsylvania State take the that the amendment immediately effective, and accordingly the AttorneyGeneral has issued instructions to the County C missioners to proceed with the ment and registration of women to fulfill the requirements of a voter in this state In the election of 1916 the women Wyoming, Colorada, Utah, Idaho, Washington, California, Arizona, Kan- sas, Oregon, Nevada, Montana and Illi for jal The woman vote in that election could hardly have exceeded 2,000,000 in a tot- vobe y Other States have since adopted equal suffrage in the com- authorities view nineteenth is assess. of nois’ voted Presiden Electors.

What the effect of this enfranchise- ment may be on the next election poli- ticians do not know and cannnot guess but it means for one thing that the issue of the League of Nations is to be submit- ted to the womanhood of the Nation and that any decision that is made at the polls is.to be their decision as well. The Democratic nomitfee for president, Governor James M. Cox, gave out this statement on the amendment: “The civilization of the world 1s saved. The mothers ot America will stay the hand of war and repudiate those who trifle with a great principle, The action of the Tennessee Legislature has another significance. It is an earnest of the Democratic policy to pay the platform obligations.” C—O, Pays $30,500 for Sober Chestnut Farm. Dr. D. 8S. Holleubaugh, of Shamokin, purchased the famous Coleman K. Sob- er paragon chestnut farm in Irish Valley about five miles west of Shamokin, at public sale last Wednesday. The con- sideration was $30,500, The farm is one of the most extensive in this part of the state, containing at least 430 acres, while in the big groves are 100,000 chestnut trees, most of which, however, have been ruined by a blight. Chestnuts were shipped to all parts of the country and even to foreign countries during the hey day of the Sob- er farm. On the farm are erected four houses, two barns, a half mile race track and a boarding house that will accommodate fifty persons. There are twenty-five springs of never failing water ou the place. It is estimated that at least $100,000 has been spent on improving the place and the figure at which it was knocked down Wednesday was surpris- ing. The first bid offered was for $25, 000 by a Baltimore capitalist. ————————— When work becomes more popular people will become more prosperous. Be iest— & Rev. Drumm Installed as Pastor. Rev.

The remaining licenses will go forward within the next few days. All appli- ~ants for Hunter's Licenses can be sup- plied by the several couuly {ireasurers on or before Friday, August 27th, and instructions have been issued to the var. ious officers of the State to enforce the license law after that date. Through a special arrangement the Game Commission will be able to sup- ply additional licenses immediately up- on notice from the county treasurer that the original quota is about to be ex- hausted, so that during the present hunting season all applicants for licen- ges can be supplied forthwith upon re- ceipt of application by any county treas- urer. On the back of every Hunter's Li- cense will be found a complete summary giving the open season, bag limits, etc, except for counties that may be closed to the hunting of game of various kinds, A complete list of the counties closed will be compiled and printed as soon al. ter September 1st as possible, and a plentiful supply of these lists will be sent to every county treasurer of the State on or about October 1st, After Septeniber 1st a copy of the complete list of counties closed will also be sent to the various newspapers of the State for publication should they desire to do so and other steps taken to fully inform the sportsmen of the State and comply with the provisions of law governing the matter, SOUTH DAKOTA HORSES FAIL TO SELL HERE. Average Only $154.00.—High Team Sells for $475 ; Low Horse, $67.50. Wah! & Bressler, the former a South Dakota horse dealer, sold a carload of South Dakota horses at Centre Hall last Thursday. The sale was a disappoint- ment to the dealers, who had shipped the horses east for sale in Mifflin county and then decided to unload them here, Twenty head were knocked off for $1082 so, for an average price of $154.00. The low selling figure is attributed to the unfavorable season of the year, the average farmer having little need ‘of a horse when the bulk of the year's work is done.

The methods used are the result of magpy years work with trapoested birds, A study has been made of the charac- teristics of good and poor producers. The case with which the average farmer or his wife into practice the methods used are the surprising results must put obtained when such practices are exer. tised has made cdlling a very important part of poultry keeping Many hens never lay enough eggs to pay their feed, Hence by selling the unprofitable hens and keeping only the vest producers poultry profits can be in- creased greatly, This will reduce the number of hens that must be fed and cared for and at the same time keep the number of eggs at a maximum, Jy practicing these methods, the hens that have been poor producers are auto- matically disposed of and at the end of the season there are left only the best hens of the flock. If these hens are mated to cockerels from high producing hens, the flock will be improved from year to year while on the other hand if all the hens, good, bad and indifferent are kept and hatched from, the quality and productiveness of the flock are sure to be lowered. If poultry keepers learn how to properly call their flock, more money can be made from fewer hens, Sophie 19th Champion Butter Cow of World.

A quart of whiskey, part in a bottle and the remainder in the stomach of Charles Dauberman, aged 32, of Lewis- burg, was responsible for the shooting of Sheriff Charles M. Benner, of Union county ; John T, Tegmeyer, parole offi. ver of the Western Penitentiary, and Dauberman himself. The shooting took place at the Union county court house ou Saturday alter- noon. Under the influence of liquor, Dauberman, a young married man, was creating a disturbance at his home in the vicinity of the court house, Sheriff Renner took the whisky from him and threatened to lock him up if he persisted in his antics, Angered by the loss of the whisky and with threats that he he would kill the Sheriff, Dauberman went down town and purchased a revolver.
