SUFFRAGE TEST UP IN SENATE NEXT THURSDAY
WASHINGTON. D. C, June 20 Confident of success, woman suffrage champions in the senate agreed today to seek a vote on the suffrage constitutional amendment resolution on Thursday. June 27. The decision was reached after a conerence of members of the suffrage committee with leading suffragists. Although the most accurate estimates indicate that the suffragists still lack three -votes of the necessary twothirds majority, several doubtful senators are known to be wavering. The suffragists also are counting upon the recent decision of the president in favor of the amendment to win over several of the doubtful votes. Suffragists and anti-suffragists have sent word to absent senators on opposite sides of the issue, urging them to be sure to be in the senate June 27.

When it is considered that the average forty bushel corn crop will make eight tons of a palatable, succulent feed, that is1 keenly relished by live
stock, the economy of the silo can be .
understood. The acres needed to feed a steer during the winter period has been decreased from 20 to 40 percent by the addition of silage. Many farmers feed a . few heifers, calves or common steers each fall and winter. If they had the advantage of a silo they-would return a greater profit to their owner. Similar results may be pointed out in the feeding of sheep and of full grown hogs. Horses and mules also relish some good unmoulded silage. The average farms possessing silos in six representative counties in Indiana returned an annual net income of $577. . Farms in the same communities that did not have a silo returned only $259, a Purdue University Extension department bulletin shows.

BUSINESS BUILDER TO SPEAK BEFORE COMMERCIAL CLUB
A large representation of the membership of the Commercial club is expected to attend the meeting of the club Friday evening, at 7:43 o'clock, when James W. Fisk, business builder, and the author of several books on business management,- speaks on the practical problems of selling. A. W. McKeand, director of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, wrote the following to Secretary UHman of the Commercial club, concerning Mr. Fisk's lecture: "I heard Mr. Fisk talk at the dinner given by the Rotary club and retail men at Anderson. It was one of the most wonderful exhibitions of wartime needs in merchandising that it is possible to think of. He held his audience, which was a mixed one, being composed of retailers, manufacturers and women, and I believe that manufacturers and women enjoyed the talk as much as the retailers, although it was a good retail talk from start to finish." Other speakers at the meeting will be Ray Robinson, general chairman of the Richmond sub-region of the war industries board: H. A. Dill, president of the Commercial club, who will explain the Training Camp detachment to be brought here by the club;'E. F. Murphy, secretary of the Commercial Club War Garden committee, and County Agent Kline. Music and a buffet luncheon will follow the talks. The committee in charge of the meeting consists of Oliver Nusbaum, Tom Nicholson, W. B. Fulghum and Fred Lemon.

By J. C. KLINE (Wayne County Agent) Figures taken from farms not only in Indiana, but throughout the United States show that the farmer who keeps the most livestock, providing it isn't too much, gets the largest returns from his investment, or the largest labor income from his land. One of the most important aids in establishing a profitable system is the silo. On practically all livestock farm3 that possess animals suitable for the
utilization of corn silage, the silo has
an important part to play. Farmers who have been in the dairy, beef or mutton making business on a, large scale have seen the economies of the silo and they have one to a dozen "corn canneries.". The average fanner is the man in Indiana who hasn't invested in the silo to any great extent. His income is derived from various sources and he hasn't seen the value of the silo in his feeding program, in most cases.
