PRODUCTION AND MARKETING ARE
AIDED BY COMMUNITY EXHIBITS
Vegetables Must Conform to Score Card as Well as Other Exhibits.
If a community bloweth not its own
horn by some form of community ac-
tivity, verily by whom shall it be
blown?
Advertisers have discovered that
good characteristics of their products
which are so familiar to them as to
seem commonplace, are often not so
well known to the great buying public.
Goods must be talked about if busi-
ness is to be secured. The same holds
true with communities. The excel-
lence of neighborhood products and
the special lines in which various indi-
viduals -excel may seem like a very
old story to those immediately con-
cerned, but there are plenty of folks
near by who have not heard this story,
of, if by chance they have heard it, it
is very much worth while from a busi-
ness standpoint to repeat it—and more
than once.
Exhibits Stimulate Business.
It follows that promoting some form
of. community fair, such as an exhibit
of local products, is profitable from
many points of view. It stimulates
better production of stock, farm pro-
duce, and garden truck. It-engenders
community pride, and advertises in an
attractive fashion good products and
those who produce them.
As a result of careful study of the
methods of conducting community fairs
specialists in the United States de-
partment of agriculture outline a defi-
nite procedure for those interested in
promoting such neighborhood events.
Community fairs—the successful ones
—are not gotten up in a day or a
week. Preparations should begin
weeks in advance. It is not*too early
now to begin planning for an exhibit
this autumn. The first step is to get
together the leaders of different or-
ganizations for a discussion of the
proposed fair. At this meeting a gen-
eral outline of the plan to be followed
should be presented for approval. The
meeting, to be thoroughly representa-
tive, should be well advertised with
posters, newspaper notices and post
cards addressed to each family.
If the community decides to hold a
fair, an organization should be formed,
officers elected, and committees ap-
pointed. The latter should include
committees on amusement and enter-
tainment, arrangements, decorations,
and publicity. These are general com-
mittees. In addition, there Should be
exhibit department committees for
such exhibits as live stock, farm prod-
ucts, orchard and garden products,
women’s work and fine arts, school
and club exhibits, and historical relics.
Too much emphasis cannot be placed
upon properly advertising the fail!
through articles in the local' papers,
printed handbills, handmade ' posters,
notices read, preferably several times,
in the schools and churches, and in
various other ways. The publicity
committee should give special atten-
tion to advertising in neighboring
communities, extending an invitation
in such cordial terms that many who
ordinarily do not visit the community
holding exhibit will be induced to
do so.
Grouping of Exhibits.
The exhibit should represent as
nearly as possible the normal produc-
tion of the community, for one of the
purposes of such a fair is to stimulate
interest in increasing the quantity and
improving the quality of the average
produce, as well as giving special rec-
ognition to the leaders in different
lines. The committees should make
it a point personally to solicit exhibits
from all persons eligible, not failing
to emphasize the business benefits
which may result.
Satisfactory results are usually ob-
tained by grouping certain classes of
exhibits. In the live stock department,
horses, cattle, swine, poultry and pets
are exhibited. In the farm-products
department are shown grains, seeds,
grasses, forage crops, beans,, peas, pea-
nuts, potatoes, together with dairy
products and bee products, The or-
chard and garden department includes
such exhibits as fruits and vegetables,
ornamental shrubbery and flowers. The
women’s work and fine arts depart-
ment has large possibilities,, and can
include a great variety of products
prepared by the mother and daugh-
ters.
Much of the success of the exhibit
depends upon securing judges of abil-
ity and experience—preferably per-,
sons from outside the community.
Usually judges are available who can
be secured at little or no expense.
Cash Prizes Not Necessary.
A community effort is most success-
ful when the primary aim of an exhib-
itor is not to win money prize*! as com-
pensation for preparing his" exhibit
Quality Must Be Satisfactory to
Government Inspection.
National System for Grading Dairy
Products Produced in United States
Would Be Advantageous, Says
Bureau of Markets.
No better illustration can be cited
of the value of a system of grading
backed by the government than that of
Denmark. This nation boasts of an
extensive export trade in butter and
has developed a system of inspection
and branding of all butter destined
for exportation whereby the govern-
ment supervises the grading system
and allows only those creameries to
use' the national trade-mark whose
products are proved to be of satis-
factory quality. The Danish system
recognizes only one grade of butter—
the best. As a result the producers
and sellers of Denmark’s butter al- ’
ways find a ready market in every
country.
Holland, New Zealand, and Ireland
likewise maintain government inspec-
tion and branding systems which
have gained for these countries a
ready market for all the butter they
export.
Therefore the bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul-
ture, contends that a national system
for grading dairy products produced
in the United States would be advan-
tageous to all who are engaged in this
important branch of agriculture. If
the dairy products of this nation are
to be received with favor and the de-
mand for them increased in foreign
lands, a national grading system must
be adopted.
POULTRY CLUBS BENEFICIAL
Among Other Things Boys and Girls
Are Given Better Knowledge
of Marketing.
The object of forming boys’ and
girls’ poultry clubs is to give a better
knowledge of the value and import-
ance of the poultry industry and the
marketing of a first-class, uniform
product, to teach better-methods of
caring for the poultry and eggs, and
to show the increased revenue to be
derived from well-bred poultry where
proper methods of management are
pursued.
Better selection with kafir seed will
pay well.

The use of commercial fertilizers is
increasing.
Give the pasture a chance,
over-graze it.
Don’t
Experience has proved that the award-
ing of money prizes not only makes
the cost of a community fair prohibi-
tive; but places the emphasis on money
instead of the honor of achievement,
and so tends to defeat one of the pur-
poses of the event. Excellent results
have been obtained merely by award-
ing blue, red and white ribbons to des-
ignate first, second and third prizes,
respectively.
Such a fair as described here does
not require the expenditure of large
sums of money. No charges need be
made for entry of exhibits or gate ad-
missions. A small fund, however, is
needed for printing, general advertis-
ing, lumber for tables, shelves, live
stock pens, premium ribbons, decora-
tions, etc. This can be raised either
by subscription or by selling advertis-
ing space in the premium list or fair
catalogue.
Persons interested in securing fur-
ther information on the successful
management of community fairs should
write the United States department of
agriculture for literature on this
subject

Thirty-Six States Have Ratified
Amendment. •
TENNESSEE FALLS INTO LINE
Washington Is the Thirty-Fifth—Sev-
enty Years of Struggle for Equal
Suffrage—Features and Some
Immortal Names.
Washington.—American women have
won their fight for votes. Washington
and Tennessee have ratified the con-
stitutional amendment, making 36
states out of 48.
Upon the opening March 22 of the
special sessions of the legislatures of
Washington and Delaware, the woman
suffrage situation in the United States
was briefly this:
Amendment to the Constitution
passed by congress June 4, 1919, as
drafted in 1875 by Susan B. Anthony:

States to vote shall not be denied or

any state on account of se: .” Ratifi-
cation necessary by legis atures of
three-fourths of the 48 stakes of the
Union. .
Amendment ratified by ’34 states, be-
ginning with Wisconsin, Jui e 10, 1919,
and ending with West Virg nia March
10, 1920. Cohstitutionalitr of Ohio
ratification before the United States
Supreme court.
Amendment defeated by six states
between September 12, 1919, and Feb-
ruary 17, 1920, as follows, in the or-
der named : Alabama, Georgia, Missis-
sippi, South Carolina, Virginia, Mary-
land.
Connecticut and Vermont—No regu-
lar sessions until 1921. Governors
had refused to call special sessions.
Florida and Tennessee—Cannot vote
in 1920 because of constitutional pro-
vision requiring election to intervene
between submission of amendment and
action on it.
Louisiana—Legislature to meet in
June; small hope of ratification.
North Carolina—Legislature to meet
in special session in August. Gov.
Thomas W. Bickett had declared his
intention to ask for ratification.
Washington promptly ratified. Del-
aware and Louisiana refused. The
governors of Connecticut, Florida and
Vermont refused to call special ses-
sions. The United States Supreme
court upheld the Ohio ratification on
the ground that no state constitution
had the authority to change in any
detail the method which the United
States Constitution itself, provides for
its amendment. This decision cleared
the way for the special session in Ten-
nessee, which began August 9.
It is seventy years since the organ-
ized movement for woman suffrage
was begun in the United States.
In 1848 Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton called the first Woman’s
Rights convention at Seneca Falls, Is.

Y., which launched a “Declaration of
Sentiments” and passed a resolution
demanding equal suffrage.
These are two immortal names in
American history. Lucretia Mott
(1793-1880) was born in Nantucket,
Mass., of Quaker parents. After teach-
ing, she became an “acknowledged
minister” of the Friends. She married
James Mott, who worked with his wife
against slavery.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902)
was born in Johnstown, N. Y. She
married in 1840 Henry B. Stanton, a
journalist and anti-slavery speaker.
From 1869 to 1893 she was president
of the National Woman Suffrage as-
addressed congressional committeees
on woman suffrage. She was the joint
author of "History of Woman Suf-
frage” (1881-8) and “Eighty Years
or More” (1895X is her autobiography.
A third name is that of Susan B.
Anthony (1820-1906). She joined with
Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton in organizing the woman suf-
frage movement. She became in time
the real leader cf the movement; cer-
tainly she was its . first militant suf-
fragist. Born in Adams, Mass., she
came of Quaker stock, and early devot-
ed herself to “temperance” (the pro-
hibition of those days) and to the abo-
lition of slavery.
In 1875 Miss Anthony drafted the
amendment to the Constitution which
has now been ratified. In 1878 the
amendment was introduced in the sen-
ate by Senator Sargent of California.
It was defeated in 1887 and thereaf-
ter was not even debated in congress
until 1914.
During the years the Constitutional
amendment campaign was making no
progress the women won many victo-
ries in the states, securing full suf-
frage in 15; presidential suffrage in
12 and partial suffrage in several oth-
ers.
The National American Woman
Suffrage association in 1912 opened
headquarters in Washington and be-
gan an active campaign for the
passage of the amendment. In 1916
it established branch headquarters
there which were devoted entirely to
the amendment campaign. The cam-
paign was educational and social as
well as political and attracted world-
wide attention.
The National Woman’s party, or-
ganized in 1910 by Alice Paul, estab-
lished Washington headquarters in
1913 and introduced the militant into
the campaign.
Alice Paul—the third Quakeress to
immortalize herself—is the spectacu-
lar figure of the struggle. She devel-
oped the deadliest card index on mem-
bers of congress that practical politics
has ever seen. She served notice
through the White House pickets that
the president was the “man higher up.”
The arrest of nearly 500 of these pick-
ets and the imposition of jail sen-
tences followed. Incidentally Miss
P^ul herself served seven terms in
jail.
The amendment was beaten three
times in the senate and once in the
house before it was finally passed by
the Sixty-sixth congress June 4, 1919,
by the necessary two-thirds majority.
The year 1869 saw the formation of
two national organizations: National

Stanton and Miss Anthony leaders and
headquarters in New York; American
Woman Suffrage association, with
Mary A. Livermore, Julia Ward Howe
and Lucy Stone leaders and headquar-
ters in Boston. The line of division
was this: The former wished to
concentrate on the passage of a con-
stitutional amendment; the latter
was in favor of obtaining the suf-
frage through amendments to state
constitutions. In 1890 the two organ-
izations were united under the name
of National American Woman Suf-
fage Association, and work was
pushed along both lines of endeavor.
Mrs. Stanton was president until
1892. Miss Anthony served until
1900, resigning at the age of eighty.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt was its
head, 1900-1904. Dr. Anna Howard
Shaw, recently deceased and possibly
best loved of all the leaders—a wom-
an of transcendent gifts and elo-
quence—was president until 1915.
Mrs. Catt was then again chosen.
Mrs. Frank Leslie left a large legacy
to Mrs. Catt to be used in the work.
The National association made ar-
rangements at the St. Louis conven-
tion of 1919 to dissolve its organiza-
tion and become the League of Wom-
en Voters. These arrangements be-
came effective at the Chicago conven-
toin in February last. So the League
of Women Voters now holds sway
over something like 27,000,000 po-
tential American women voters.
Mrs. Catt, who is also the head of the
International Woman Suffrage alli-
ance, which she founded in 1904, Is
honorary chairman; Mrs. Maud Wood
Park is chairman; Mrs. Richard Ed-
wards of Indiana, treasurer; Mrs.
Solon Jacobs of Alabama, secretary,
and there is a board of regional di-
rectors.
Reliable Information
All American women know of the great success of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound in restor-
ing to health women who suffered from ailments pe-
culiar to their sex, yet there are some who are skeptical
and do not realize that all that is claimed for it is
absolutely true—if they did, our laboratory would not
be half large enough to supply the demand, though
today it is the largest in the cotmtry used for the
manufacture of one particular medicine.
Tho Facts contained in the following two letters should
prove of benefit to many women:
Buffalo, N. Y.—“I suffered with
organic inflammation and displace-
ment. "When lifting I had such pain
and bearing down that I waB not
able to stand np, and it hurt me to
walk or go up or down stairs. I was
going to a doctor without any re-
sults and he said the safest thing
would be to have an operation. I
met a lady who told me she had
three operations and was not well
until sho took Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
I felt relief after taking two bottles
of Vegetable Compound and I kept
on with it until I wa3 cured. I al-
ways use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Liver
Pills and they are fine. Everything
used to turn sour on my stomach and
the Liver Pills relieved that.”—Mrs.
A. Rogers, 1593 Fargo Avenue,
Buffalo, N. Y.
The fact is, the Best Medicine for Women is
Sacramento, Calif.—“ I had or-
ganic trouble and had such terrible
pain and swelling in the lower part
of my side that I could not stand on
my feet or even let the bed clothes
touch my Bide. I gave up my work
thinking I would not be able to go
back for months. My mother ad-
vised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound as it had saved
her life at one time, and it put me
in a wonderful condition in a couple
of weeks, so I can keep on working.
I work in a department store and
have to stand on my feet all day and
I do not have any more pains. I
surely recommend your Vegetable
Compound to all my friends and you
may use these facts as a testimon-
ial.”—Bertha J. Parker, 3320 M
