IT NEWJMOVEMENT Suffrage Agitation Began Here Years Ago. That the present movement in Richmond and the state, for that matter, towards suffrage of woman is nothing: sew Is shown by files of papers of twenty-five and thirty years ago. Although many have forgotten it there was a woman's suffrage organization In the state thirty years ago. Dr. Mary Thomas of Richmond, was at one time state president of the organization and in her position delivered a number of addresses throughout the state. The first meeting was held at Lewlsville, Sept. 5, 1882, with Mary B. Charles of Knightstown, president; Dr. Rachel S. Baily, - of Spiceland, Becretary. Mrs. Dr. John Rea of New Castle, delivered an address on the "Political Status of Woman in the Past and Present." The constitution and resolutions plainly show their earnestness. They did not believe in taxation without representation. The second article in the constitution was as follows: "The object of this organization shall be to secure to women citizens political equality with men." A resolution adopted at this meeting freads: "Resolved, That wherever the sexes meet together on equal terms, there we find the highest type of manhood and womanhood." Meetings were held in Richmond, New Castle and other cities now In the sixth congressional district in 1883 .and were of the most enthusiastic nature. One woman in a speech at New Castle declared that as "soon as it becomes fashionable everbody will be for woman's suffrage. "Apparently it has become fashionable now for everybody's doin' it. It seems that every woman is throwing lier hat in the ring,," said a local sufjfragist today. William Dudley Foulke, of this city, attended a meeting held at Middletown, November 15, 1883. In an address he said: "I place disenfranchisein en t of women along with the relics f barbarism."

EVOLUTION OF POWER FOR THE FARM
BY ISAAC L. TOTTEN. Hand, horse, water, wind, steam, electrical, gasoline and oil that may not be the exact order in the evolution of power yet it is near enough to show the marvelous advance in the power agencies that have aided man in his forward progress. It is a long cry back to the time when man scratched the earth with a crooked stick in order that he might prepare a seed bed for the golden grain. Wonderful are the things we read about in ancient history not so very ancient either that men accomplished by hand power Hand power, of course, will always be with us, and it will always have its field; but each decade finds that field considerably narrowed. With the modern farm implements one man is enabled to accomplish the work of many. Most of the mechanical agencies, which are emancipating man from drudgery, are not in the power class, yet they have played a most wonderful role in the evolution of power. There are two general classes of machinery one to assist the fingers; the other to eliminate hand assistance. The former Is termed driven machinery and requires the push or pull of power not of its own generation. "The elements of skill and human intelligence being eliminated, unskilled men, horses, wind mills or water wheels may be substituted, thus practically freeing the intelligent man from gross labor and allowing that freer play of his thinking facilities that is possible only when relieved of bodily fatigue." Man early learned to use the power of the horse, the ox, the camel, the dog, the reindeer, et cetera. Later he harnessed the streams, and the falling water assisted him in his daily toil. Water power was and is only of value to those who are so located that they can utilize it. This source of power, as we are all aware, is still in use, and is made to do much which is impossible for human agents to do. In instance, we have the marvelous water power plant at Niagara which develops the electrical power for use in Buffalo. Hand power and horse power were inadequate to meet the demands that came with the increasing population and the consequent food and clothing requirements. The substitution of the energy of nature is one of its forms falling water, wind, fuel is Intended to entirely eli minate hand and horse power; that is in the sense of applying it to machin ery of the driven class. John Edward Buck has said: "There is a close kinship between the spirit which combats the arbitrary authority of man over man. and the spirit which seeks to establish the mastery of man over material agents. Free Institutions do not quench man's intuitive ambition for power; they rather tend to substitute a different object for that ambition power to serve the race instead of power to oppress it power to invent mechanical agents instead of power to enthrall human agents conquest over nature rather than conquest over mankind." Wind power which is more generally available than water power, but not as reliable or usually available than water power, but not as reliable or usually as powerful as water, was and is now doing a goodly share of the work which man and horse were once compelled to do. Of the power energies of nature, fuel is the most generally available. Wood, coal, oil, gasoline these fu els these natural resources are now the power agencies which man compels to do the drudgery while he uses his brain. Very little wood is now used as fuel for power development, and it Is, be cause of its scarcity, fast becoming unavailable as a building material. - Coal is now, no doubt, the most generally used fuel; but it must be used in connection with water, to de velop power. In the gas producer, of course, the coal is converted into a gas and this in turn heats the water producing the steam which drives the gigantic engine or turbin which in turn set in motion the generator.

What a marvelous change has been brought about through the development of power! Go into a modern factory and look for the miles "of belting and pulley
shafts that were once there; look for the hundreds of rapidly revolving pulleys. They are no longer there; instead we find wires leading to the various machines to bring the electricity to the motor attached thereto. There is a machine shop in the outskirts of Chicago in which we find no belts or pulleys, and the machines are all painted white, presenting a neat, sanitary condition. Coming up the line to the more recently used power agencies we come to oil and gasoline. Of these, gasoline is the most generally used, although oil is making inroads to popularity. This is the gasoline age it seems and every passing automobile leaves us the impression that gasoline is in the air. Unlike the other fuels, gasoline and oil do not require the assistance of other natural energy agents to produce power. There is no place where gasoline and oil have been utilized to greater advantage than on the farm. The other power, that of steam, which is produced by heat from fuel applied to water, was never utilized by the farmer as much as the gasoline and oil power has. been during the past decade. The gasoline engine pumps the water, grinds the feed, turns the cream separator, drives the threshing machine and does the plowing and many, many other jobs. And it is gasoline power that drives that convenient vehicle which has provided pleasure and brought increased profits to thousands of farmers the automobile. Many are the uses to which the far mer has put this modern convenience. Applying the gasoline power to the vehicle has shortened the distance between the farm and the town and the city several miles, and in so doing has made it possible for the farmer to devote more time to his farm work and also to spend more time in town where he can mingle with business men in other lines of work which is to his as well as to the other business man's advantage. Each morning a large auto truck passes our place loaded to the guards with men from a nearby town who are working on a large farm. The owner of the farm transports these men to and from the farm each day, and this gives the men all the advantages of the town life and it solves the hired help problem for the farmer. Charles Edward Lucke says: "Farming will cease to be the occupation of the poorly educated, and the city the sole opportunity of the great thinkers; the same division of labor and mental effort will apply to both, and both country and city dweller will be on a similar plane; or rather, the same series of levels will apply to both; each will have its captains of industry, its cultured class, and each will have its servant and laborer class with all grades between, and no barrier to the passage from the lowest to the highest in either city or country, except personal fitness to do the next higher thing needed by the community." And this has been brought about by the evolution of power. Poor appetite is a sure sign of impaired digestion.

SOME CHOICE CHINA. Looking in upon one of those charming little afternoon affairs called teas where women folk may be seen in pretty frocks of white and delicate tints, where there are flowers and rose shaded lights and shining silver and fine linen and lace needlework adorning the mahogany, one may get a glimpse of some choice china, for the Richmond hostess takes great pride in the selections she has made or in the treasure handed down to her. Among the most valued pieces are those of the variety called Lowestoft, j which so closely associates itself in j the mind with the gracious hospitali-1 ty and serener ways of an earlier time I the days when the hostess who presided at her beautiful tea table of the pie crust of the Chippendale type poured her fragrant brew of Bohea into the handless cups giving her guests a treasured "rat-tailed" spoon or a "fiddleback" one to stir it with and one fancies her as daintiness itself in her soft silken gown of shimmering lutestring or sprigged mousseline, with its poises so nearly matching those on her quaintily shaped teapot and helmet creamer. The mystery of its origin also adds piquancy to our interest, for, as most Lowestoft collectors know, there is no division of opinion among its admirers as to which country can prove the claim of having produced it, England or China. Miss Constance Chisolra, in the Baltimore Sun furnishes tome interesting information about the beautiful Lowestoft ware. She says: "While actual pieces of Lowestoft must be seen in order to be sure of knowing it and when once seen it is never thereafter mistaken for any other ware the fact remains that a good first knowledge is best obtained from the illustrations of Lowestoft shown in the books on china which include it, because its forms and decorations are so distinctively its own, and so clearly shown that the eye is soon trained to identify it at sight. "Moreover, in illustrations many more forms are shown than are apt to be seen at any one time or place, as outside or private collections and museums the opportunity is limited of finding more than a few pieces together. I "But this preliminary study of forms from the photographic reproductions is by no means sufficient to enable one to know the ware. It must not only be seen but handled and every detail noted. First of all, a picture will never give any suggestion of the fine pearly tint, like that of Chinese porcelain, which is the background for the characteristic Lowestoft decoration and unlike the body color of any old ware brought to the homes of our ancestors. "The designs we oftenest see are flowers and springs in natural colors, with borders in gold and colors, while others have dark-blue bands, coats of arms or monograms in gold, and some times, according to N. Hudson, landscapes in one color; though these last named are not often seen, if at all, in our section of the country, so far as known. "Blue was the only color used on the earliest Lowestoft, the other colors being added after 1790. The pieces oftenest seen are the squat, oval teapots with straight-up sides and twisted handles that are heavily gilded; tall chocolate pots- of the unique shortwaisted type; sugar bowls; the familiar, yet rare, helmet creamer; flat tea caddies and plates. The spouts of pots are long and without any turnings RAIGHEA Superior Electric Fixtures Direct From maker to you RARE VALUES Craighead 910 Main St. Plumbing f A & Electric 1U.

or twistings. Sometimes the decorations show two birds with twigs in their mouths, in a circle of blue touched with gold, and outside of that another wreath of gold, a pattern which had many variations. On the lids there is frequently a little rough nut, gilded, and sometimes a tiny canine like the dog Foo, which the Chinese use as a finishing ornament. This ware we call Lowestoft Is not the same as that which bears the name in England, theirs being a distinctive British product, which, they claim, was made at the old Lowestoft pottery. What is known In this country as Lowestoft, taking its name from the same place that the English ware does, is now declared to be of Chinese
origin. Some think it was potted in China and brought to Lowestoft to be decorated, as the rose depicted on it is not known in China and it is the full-blown Tudor rose, which is the heraldic symbol of. the burough In which the pottery stood. It is also said that a man named John Rose was a fine decorator there, who used this emblem as a signature to his pieces. But that theory now gives place to the more generally accepted belief that the floral patterns,t crests, monograms and other designs were sent to China to be copied, and that both the potting and decorating were done there." Sporting Gossip Under the rules of the Three-I league double admission is charged for double-headers. Pat Donahue the former Bos ton-Philadelphia catcher, is back-stopping for a Bemi-pro team in Springfield, Ohio. Ping Bodie, the speedy gardener of the White Sox, is doing star work both in the field and with the club. Pitcher "Jeff" Pfeffer, who used to shoot 'em over for the Cubs, is pitching for the Washington team in the United States league. Manager Hugh Jennings is not worrying over the work of the Tigers. "Once the boys start, we will clean up the league," says Hugh. Shafer, of te Giants, must be out for the base-stealing record. During the first three weeks of the season he pilfered eleven sacks. With Manager Dooin back in the game the Quakers look like a bunch of live ones, and should be able to get up among the leaders pretty soon. The Cardinals have been fat picking for the Cincinnati Reds this spring, the Red having copped out seven straight games from Bresnahan's crew. Bronkie, who is playing third base for the Cleveland Naps, is a fast worker and nice fielder, but so far has not started anything withthe stick. Pitcher "Hub" Perdue had won all bis games this season when he faced the Cubs, and then the stuff was off. The Cubs eat Boston pitching like a kid punishes cream puffs. The Milwaukee club has released George Stone to the Terre Haute team. While a member of the St. Louis Browns a few years ago Stone was the champion batter in the big show. The circuit of the Maine-New Brunswick league will be composed of St. John, Frederickton, Woodstock, and Houlton. Eighty games will be played the season opening May 24 and closing Sept. 7.
