The American Sooiety of Equity of Indianapolis has issued a bulletin to the farmers of the United States demanding an increase in the prioe of wheat, arguing that the minimum price' of wheat should be $1 a bush el and urging the farmers not to sell for less than $1. The Society was O'Reill on the American Woman. “I am perfectly convinced That the American woman has secured for herself the best, the softest berth that it was possible to secure in this world.” “If I could choose my sex and birthplaoe,, I would shout to the Almighty at the top of my voice, ‘O, please make mo an American The Dollar Came Back.

The bulletin reasons that because of the low visible supply of wheat and the high cost of production, owing to the high prices for most other com modities, $1 at Chicago is only an equitable price for wheat. It may be heresy, but I would like to suggest to the Equitable Society that there is another and easier and a more pertain way for the farmers to accomplish the result aimed at, and it does not involve the risk and almost certain failure of attempting “The government of the Ameri can people is not a republic, it is not a monarchy; it is a gynarchy, a gov ernment by the women for the wo men, a sort of occult power behind the scenes that rule the country.” “I cannot help thinking that there exists in some American women a little mild contempt for that poor creature that is called a man.” I have no hesitancy in declar ing, after six visits to that great and hospitable country, that the American women of good s Dawson News- The experience of an Alabama man carries a lesBon with it wherev er it may be read.

Five times in six years that dollar came back to him for produce whioh he had sold, and three times he heard of his neigh bors havihg it, The last time he got it in change he sent it off to a mail order house in Chicago, and of oourso has never seen it since. And billions of ohanoes to one he never will.
