Woman's Day oi political an*
crowning glory, short of actually
possessing the universal right to
vote.
Several thousand women turned
out, to form the great processlou
down Pennsylvania Aveaue, to dem-
onatate the unanimity of their sex,
in demand for the ballot.
Enthusiastic thousands lined the
broad avenue for hours before the
parade started, cheering the various
detachments as they took their
places.
The pageant was formed around
the Peace monument, but on the
steps of the Treasury Building the
actors In the tableaux symbolic of
woman’s triumph, stood ready to be
gin their series of daneee and al
luring groupings.
Mrs. Richard Coke Burleson,
who is to be -the Grand Marshal of
the day, was busy early, assisted by
five aides, all of whom are
lent horsewomen.
Miss Inez Mllholland, as the her
ald whOBe trumpet blast it to start
the parade, was dressed in royal
purple, astride a mettlesome char
ger.
There was virtually no deviation
made from the order of march as
previously published. The allogon-

; line without a hitch, the ‘‘Liberty

attracting considerable attention.

Mexico City, March 3.—The firm
and energetic military rule prom
ised under the Huerta regime will
be inaugurated this week.
Provisional President Huerta, af
ter eight days spent in conferences
with various Rebel chiefs, or their
representatives, is now disposed to
consider as Irreconiable all the oth
er Rebels who continually delay
definite recognition of ths new
leglme.
The expected program of pacifica
tion will be put to some severe
tssts, and while the Government ex
presses itself as sanguine of its
success In the northern states, the
lack of harmony between the var
ious bands of rebels in that region
has developed on tho arrival here
of the representatives of Gen. Pas-
cual Orozco and others.

"Please let It - be understood
that the suggestion of Thomas

Atlanta, -March 3.—According to
Dr. E. M. Nlghbert, inspector
charge of the tick eradication work
for the United States Department
of Agriculture, for the states
South Carolina, Georgia, and r lon-
da, who has offices In the Federa
building, high-grade Georgia ranted
beef cattle will be shipped from Li
ben county Into ihu markets of tne
west, free and unrestricted by the
first day of January, 1914. By that
time he expects the work of tick
eradication, which has been in pro
gress in Elbert county for several
months now, will have progressed
far enough to place that county be-
; yond the cattle tick quarantine,
which will allow shipments Into the
I open market, a privilege accorded
; few counties In the state. Accord-
: Ing to market quotations, on live
i stock, the cattle from quarantined
j sections of the South sells from
three tu five cents a pound less than
that from the free and open mar
ket in which latter class Elbert
county will soon belong.
In order to hasten this mucbiy tu
be desired condition, there has been
organized in Elbert county a Cattle
Feeders Association, In which the
Elberton Oil Mill has taken a leading
part, and is composed of the lead
ing farmers and land owners in
that county. Each member agrees
to feed and raise for market from
three to twenty hoad of beef, free
of the cattle tick, in order that
the shipment may be made into the
open market. In addition to agree
ing that a balanced ration of cot
ton seed meal and hulls was the
least expensive and best forms of
feed, this organization has decided
to Import several breeding hoards
of high-grade beef stock for the
use of the membership of the asso
ciation. It has long since been
demonstrated that the expense of
feeding and fattening high-grade
beef stock Is no more than that of
attempting to fatten scrubs, and
the profit Is a great deal more. Dr.
Nlghbert expresses himself as de
lighted with the co-operation.
