Womem and Votes ! My Dear Mrs. Hollis: Havmg read the letter written by Mrs. ! Colby in the last number of the Leader, S . should all do, the spirit moves me to comment on same. She states “the best way would be for us women to go right ahead and have our meetings and vote on any subject that we were interested in.” And then pray, what procedure would we take? Mrs. Colby evidently takes it that suffrage means “suffering” whereas the definition in Webster’s standard reads “A vote.- Right of voting.” .I.do not see what good it would do for the women of North. Dakota. to organize as the “Woman’s Nonpartisan League.” What good would the present Nonpartisan League be to the men if they were not | entitled to vote and make their own laws, and have a voice in the legislation of the state ? 1 .feel. that the women who are >“against suffrage” are to be compared . with the farmer who is against the Non- partisan League. They are both against their own personal interests. What we is to. affiliate with the North Daketa branch of the Congres- sional Union for Woman Suffrage recently . orgahiied in Fargo. The, Leader of July 13th contained an account of this orga.mzatlon The main trouble with both .men and women on the farms is that they are too busy working from early until late to have time to take much interest in com- munity or state problems.. However the Leader has been# a wonderful agent among farm homes, educating and en- lightening the voters in such concise ani clear manner that by merely spending a couple of hours weekly they are well informed and enabled to vote in the best manner for their own interests. And I feel that you, dear editor, can do for the women through your depart- ment what the Leader .in general has done for the men. What I am interested to know is whether the Leader intends to come out flat for suffrage. I under- stand that woman suffrage has been defeated in a referendum in North Dakota and cannot be put to referendum again for five years, but if we all join forces we can bring about an amendment to the national constitution. However, as I -said before, I see no special object in merely -organizing as a Ndrth: Dakota League for Woman. MRS E. Dty Breakfast Foods ‘During the last ten years or so many ° cereal productions known as Breakfast Foods have been placed on the market. Many of these foods are well prepared, carefully packaged, and made attractive to the buyer, but practxca.lly all of them are sold -at a very high price consxdermg the -afhount of food contained in’ the ' paekage in comparison with the cost of the original cereal: Some advance’ in cost would be expected for the extra handling, the packaging and the adver- tising, but ‘the grain is so great in many - céisés -and - the claims so extravagant, ¢ that it causes one to hesitate and con- s e AT R e R S D N HE LR o sider what she money. “In the case of puffed wheat, for is receiving for her instance, as has been pointed out by the state pure food department, wheat is bought by the manufacturer at a maxi- mum cost of $1.80 a bushel and sold in . the ‘form of puffed wheat at $27.00 a Helpful Hints - -Use a piece of cheese cloth for wash- ing ‘dishes.

The profits are not so great in all the breakfast foods as in the one mentioned but they are at least from two to three times. as much as the unprepared or uncooked: cereals.

PORTER Mofiit N.: D. Defiance Reaps Its Reward (Editorial in Hillsboro Banner) The political revolution in this state has been a long time gathering, and it is the work of men not farmers, who have -~ been largely in control of politics and government in the state in the past during much of the time of statehood. e These men and their class of men can- not, ' seemingly, rid themselves of the idea that they are superior as a class and born to rule, as they please, and that the average farmer and laborer is not competent to rule, nor yet to say what he and they want and should have. . The class of politicians mentioned have been defiant of -the people and their rieeds and wants, and have held most of demands, reasonably made, in contempt.- It is this continued treatment that laid -the basis for a farmers’ revolt, and it eulminated this year in a clean sweep at the primaries last month, a political revolution that is certain to-do muech for cleaning up the state and putting’ the - péople on their mettle and making them more careful about theu' own interests ‘in the future. - Had the classes- who have been s0° largely in control of the state most of the time in the past been reasonably respon-- sive to the just demands of the farming classes, there would have been no' revolt this year. . On account,” however, of the defiance -of the people,.a well ‘organized revolt ‘was planned;:and. it. succeeded, as it will <ucceed at the polls in November.., "A” broad program has’. been’ adopted by the Nonpartisan league, and the whole ‘of. this»program:. will not. likely be an immediate result, ‘but: it is. before - the people and the masses -will* now of necessity keenly study the .proposed changes in, manner: and-method- of go- vernment, and it is certain that not only in this state, but: in -other states, there .will be in many respects a radical .de- parture from the old order of things, and this departure, while mistakes may be made in some respects, will be whole- :some and for the benefit of ‘the' masses of the people.

G. John- son, was playing. -Frazier didn’t look much like a governor then. We don’t be- -lieve he was any more promising looking at that time than any of the rest of us. But now, there’s no doubt of it, he does -~ look like a real governor, and we believe that he will make a real-one, too. On account of final proof interfering, we could-not possibly get over to hear him speak but all with whom we have talked state that he gave a good account of himself. It is certain that no matter how we may disagree about the merit of some-of the other candldates, all can unite on -Frazier. We have known -him for many years and can truthfully say that there is not a blemish on his reputation nor a flaw in ~his character, and furthermore, there ne- ver will be if he knows anything about it.” He is a man every inch of him. And the good Lord knows that there is al- “.ways room at the top for real men. Not “good fellows”, but good men. We need them, every place, both in politics and in, business.
