v SUFFRAGISTS SEE NEED OF UNIONJN WORK St. Louis Plan for Concentration of Efforts Calls for Congress of Women.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 24. Unionization of women in their flght for equal suffrage was the outstanding subject today before the National American Woman Suffrage Association, which opened a jubilee celebration today, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the granting of suffrage by Wyoming. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the association, was on the program today to outline the plan of unionization. The delegates were told that the union, while having a semblance of a political party, will not have for its aim political ascendency. It will be the reorganization of the present asociation, and Its chief object 'wil be to bring clearly to the front the advantages of possessing the right to vote. Plan Call For Congress. One plan for the union that may be considered calls for a congress. One house would be composed of representatives of the 7,300.000 women from states which have full suffrage. The other would be composed of representatives of non-voting states. Kach house would be allowed to consider its own problems, and national problems would be considered in joint session. While this proposal was to be brought before the convention today, final action will not be taken until the last day of the convention next Saturday. A number of section meetings were held today at which state problems were decided. At a meeting of one section of women who have been granted suffrage these questions were discussed: "How can the laws of several state denning the legal status of women be unified and approved?" "What can women voters do toward the improvement of election methods?" "What can women voters do to make the United States worthy of world leadership?" Since the fight for woman suffrage started 50 years ago, 12,600,000 women of 24 Btates have been given the right to vote for president and of that number 7,300,000 in 15 states have full suffrage.

Deep Planting of Corn Cause of Poor Yield

Co!dt Damp Ground Often From Sprouting By f. O. HOLDEN

Keeps

KB of the greatest causes of poor stands of corn is too deep planting in cold, wet ground. We should be careful not to put the seed down four or five Inches when two inches will be better. Often we get off the planter when making: a tarn near the head

land to see how deep we are planting. If we find we are putting; the seed down about two inches we think it is all right. We forget that when we get out In the mellow ground the planter wheels sink down about two inches, and that in fact we are planting four inches deep. We should get off the planter out in the middle of the field, away from the headland, to see how deep w are planting. '.,, No Need to Plant Deep. We can plant deeper In fall plowed ground than In ground that was plowed in the spring. This Is because ground that Is plowed In the fall wanna up more quickly In the spring. But even then there is less .need to plant

Town Asks Citizens'

Aid on Rate Squabble

wAKi, iex., Aiarcn 24. a precedent in local government was established here when city officials asked the advice and aid of the community in dealing with a question concerning

telephone rates.

wnen tne telephone company announced that It would charge higher

rates than its contract with the city permitted, the ' city commission promptly advertised a mass meeting

at which the city's course against the company should be determined. "The officers of the city recognize that the city business is the business of the citizens and we want to advise and co-operate with you in a matter of so much consequence to the citizenship," the advertisement read. The citizens turned out in numbers and voted approval of the commission's plan to refuse to pay a rate increase of 50 cents a month ordered by the government to ' begin this month. Suit will be started to enjoin collection of higher rates than those given in the franchise granted by the city.

Depth of Planting Does Not Determine Depth of Roots The First of These Two Hills of Corn Was Planted Deep; the Other Shallow Not the Permanent Root 8ystem on Each Is About the Same Distance Below the Ground. 'deeper In the mellow soil of a fall plowed and spring disked field because there pre no lumps. Spring plowed ground Is colder and we lose out If we plant too deep. We Should plant only deep enough to cover the seed well. If the ground is col4 end wet we should not plant deeper than two or two and one-half inches. A Common Mistake. Many people think that if we plant deep the corn will have a good, strong, deep root system. This is a mistake. Generally speaking, the depth of the planting does not determine the depth of the roots. There will be practically no difference. The little roots that sprout from the planted seed are only temporary and soon die. The permanent root system always grows from the stem close to the Eurface of the ground. An experiment was conducted to determine the difference between shallow

I and deep planting. Ten kernels were planted two Inches deep.- All came up

Chimney "Sweeping" May Be Required in State INDIANAPOLIS, March 24. Enactment of ordinances, making compulsory the annual "sweeping" of chimneys in every city and town in Indiana, is advocated by H. H. Friedley, Indiana state fire marshal. The saving of thousands of dollars worth of property from damage by fire and the economic saving in the administration of the different fire departments, would result, according to Mr. Friedley. One of the principal causes of fires is the defective flue, statistics in the fire marshal's office show. Investigation, after the damage has been done, has called attention to some defect in the flue, or the source of the fire was traced to soot and accumulated dirt burning. By local legislation, making the cleaning of chimneys compulsory, defects in the flues would be discovered and the chimneys, which now in many instances are never cleaned, would be opened at least once a year. Mr. Friedley believes that such ordinances should contain provisions fixing the price to be paid the "chimney sweeps" who demand exorbitant prices now, he says. He believes a fair and profitable charge for each chimney in a one-story house would be twenty-five cents, fifty cents for each chimney in a two-story house, and twenty-five cents for each additional story. Another essential feature in his opinion is that reports be required of "chimney sweeps" to local officials of each flue they found to be defective. The cost of answering fire alarms in Indianapolis is estimated at $50 for each run. During the first two months of this year the department made 4G6 runs at a cost -approximat

ing $23,000. The damage to the property traceable to defective flues or to soot filled flues burning out is estimated at $20,000, making a total of $43,300, which probably could have been saved under enforcement of a "chimney sweep" ordinance during the past year.
