LET INDIANA LEAD, NOT FOLLOW.

It is very discouraging to the suffragists of Indiana, as well as the men of the state who are interested in poetics, to feel that Indiana may be a, laggard in ratification of the federal amendment, when by virtue of every token it should be a leader. It is true, of that many other states have not -as yet ratified the amendment, hut if each one sits (back, ready to ratify as soon as thirty-five other states 'have done so -—the result is obvious, and women will hot be enfranchised before the next election. One thing the women of Indiana have Ito be thankful for is the ardent support given them by their representatives in congress and the senate, and no (better frigid have the women ever had than the Hon. Everett Sanders, of the fifth district. On learning of the postponement of a special session by Governor Goodrich, Mr. Sanders wrote him as follows:

“Some titne ago there was an announcement that a special session of the Indiana legislature would be called for the purpose of ratifying the national suffrage amendment. Ij have understood • recently that there' has been some likelihood of a change in this plan. . “You will recall the splendid rec-J ord which the republicans of Indiana have in the house of representatives on the suffrage question. Every member cast a vote in favor of the constitutional amendment, both in ' the 65th congress and again in the 66th congress. “The chairman of the suffrage committee in the house, Hon. James; R. Mann, succeeded at the very be-j ginning of the session in bringing the suffrage amendment before the house and it was passed, receiving an overwhelming majority of the votes of the republican members of the house. The people of Indiana are in favor of this amendment and they ought to be given the opportunity at the earliest possible date of expressing their views through their representatives to the general assembly. I sincerely hope that no change will be made in the plan to call a special session and that we shall soon have the pleasure of announcing to our colleagues here that Indiana is added to the column of those states which have ratified this amendment, giving enfranchisement to the millions of women citizens of our country. . . With assurance of my highest regards, I am.” . * And Representative Fairfield, of the thirteenth district, not only shares the personal appearance of

BEWARE OF STRANGERS BUYING JUNK.

It has come to my notice that strangers come into this community to buy junk and represent that they are purchasing the same for me. I have but one man, Omar Wilcox, authorized to purchase junk for me. All others representing themselves as agents for me have no authority whatever from me, and I will not be responsible for anything they do. If you will call me when you have junk for sale I will buy it of you and give you the top of the market. Strangers often steal and seldom pay market "prices. SAMUEL KARNOWiSKY,

Despite the practical failure of the rye crop this year in many localities, the majority of the growers of Rosen rye retain confidence in this variety and expect to sow it again this fall. Up until filling time, the new variety had every indication of outyielding the common rye two to one Hot, dry weather and scab infestation made such inroads, however, that in some localities the yields secured 'below that of the common variety, poor as it was. Eight representative threshermen have 'been keeping records of the yields of all Rosed ahd common rye that they have threshed this season. These reports are not all in and complete statistics are not available, but the reports received indicate that the Rosen rye has averaged about three bushels per acre more than the common. While .this is a small margin, most of the farmers realize the adverse rye conditions and among them the new variety has made many friends.

DAYLIGHT LAW IS DIMMING

LOWER HOUSE OF CONGRESS I OVERRIDES PRESIDENT WILSON’S VETO. Washington, Aug. 19.—Taking advantage of the absence of a large number of city representatives, the farmer members of the house today succeeded in overriding President Willson’s veto of the daylight saving repeal bill by a vote of 223 to 101, with one member voting present. Leaders of the forces favoring the repeal had made a thorough canvass of the members present before they decided to permit the question to come to a vote. Efforts of Representatives Blanton, democrat, of Texas, and King, republican, of Illinois, to defer the vote, and a motion by Representative Wingo, democrat, of Arkansas, all opponents of the law, were quickly voted down, because it was known in advance what the result would be. Contrary to all expectations, more city members than representatives from rural districts were out of town. The vote to save the daylight saving plan was thirty-four short of the total which prevented the first attempt to override the president’s veto in July. Only eleven votes - were needed to save the plan today. Had this additional number of city members been present, the advocates of the repeal would not have had the twothirds vote necessary, under the constitution, to override the veto. A glance at the list of 106 absentees showed that included in this number were far more than eleven members who were known to have favored retention of the law. Members opposed to continuing .the law declared the action of the house makes certain the deathknell of daylight saving. They pointed out that on every vote taken on the subject in the senate more than a 3 to 1 majority for the repeal has been recorded. Senator Cummins, republican, of lowa, chairman of the interstate commerce committee, plans to call up the vote in the senate at an early date. Under the terms of the bill daylight saving will come to an end on the last Sunday in October, when the clocks, will be turned back an hour.
