WILL KANSAS HAS FIRST WOMAN STATE LEGISLATOR Farm The New the Declares that Roosevelt In spiration Led Her into Politics Kansas has its first woman state legislator, and, as one would ex pect of Kansas, she is Republican. Mrs Minnie J. Grimstead is the lady's name, and Kansas has ! the known her for some time as a I Trust teacher, preacher, and lecturer, j Th and now welcomes her as equally j routine successful as a legislator. For Mrs. Grimstead has, in western parlance, "made good" as a law maker, and after a term of mother ing bills, serving on committees at large, and discussing questions of state, she has gone back home to her husband and children with the good will and approbation of every member of the house. "I am old-fashioned enough to believe there is no position of more honor to a woman, none she can dignify more than that of home keeper. But sometimes politics calls a woman from her home that she may help make other homes happier and better and the envir onment safer for other children all over the land. "Roosevelt gave me inspiration to how politics and domestic activities might be intermingled.

For 12 years before she was married Mrs. Grimstead taught school at intervals. From her father, a Baptist preacher, she learned her first lesson in politics. In 1896 Mrs. Grimstead was nominated by the Republican con vention of Crawford County for superintendent of schools, characteristic energy paigned the county and led the ticket by a majority of 500, but a Populist landslide defeated the Re publicans. When she decided to run for rep resentative two years ago characteristic thoroughness she set about securing the nomination of her party, then fought a hard but interesting fight against her party opponents for her seat in the house.

Study of several mail-order catalogues indi cates that in the majority of cases the prices of seeds are less than ! for the past two yéars, the great- I est reduction ibeing for cabbage j seed. Marked reductions are also shown in the prices for garden beet, carrot, onion, spinach, and English and 1 Swedish turnip seed. An increase of about 18 per cent is noted in the prices for garden peas, while similar increases are shown for muskmelon, summer and winter squash, and tomato seed. This condition should prove favorable to extensive garden planting, which is urged by the United States Department of Agri are se T the a culture. puts Replies to inquiries addressed to representative seed dealers showed that a few in industrial centers, ' particularly in the East, were sell- 1 1* ing from 10 to 30 per cent less ^Q than last year. The cause, appar- •• u ently, was the shortage of labor j 4* on truck farms. Compared 1 with normal conditions before the war, the reduction in these eastern centers ranges from 10 to 45 per| cent.

France Turns Attention To Franchise For Women France is finally giving some at tention to extending the franchise to women. The'new republics that have arisen from the ruins of the monarchies of the old world have given women many of the fran chise privileges, but France where liberty, equality and! fraternity are beacon lights, has not given wo men the recognition which their intelligence and devotion seem to warrant. The Frenchmen are gallant but never seemed to think their women cared to vote. French women may have their op portunity shortly, however, as the new suffrage bill starts out with the backing of sixty-five Deputies. ence. of at sion tors Establish Scholarship ; University Of 1 Pennsylvania Department No 3 of the Pennsyl . vania Railroad Women's Division for i ... , war relief, which organization pre I , ,' ... • , , „„„ pared and furnished surgical dress , . , , ., , . j mgs during the war, has decided to . ., TT ■,_ establish a scholarship in the Umver . _ , . „ . , Sitv of Pennsylvania in memory of ,, „ . . , , , I those men of the freight department as that fair tude, is ing tray and | who gave their lives for their country.

In this picture Mr. Lytell, as Charley Steele, the brilliant young lawyer, has the most ambitious part of his en viable career, and carries it off ad mirably. Asked by an interviewer at the Screen Classics, Inc., studio, in Holly wood, Calif., recently, about what he would advise those who want to fol low the profession of the stage to do, Mr. Lytell saia-. "Frequently I have been asked by young and ambitious screen aspirants what was the best course of early training for a career in motion pic tures, and invariably I have answer ed: 'Some good theatrical stock com pany.' If pressed for a reason for this, I have said: 'Weil, it was tfie way I began, and I believe in it.' In asmuch as they're asking me, I can do no better than cite my own experi of a ence.

This isn't so very young, I realize, so far as men like the late Joseph Jefferson are concern ed, who, if I recall correctly, made his first appearance on the stage as a baby. But it was young for me and for my knowledge of things theatri cal. It was over in the old Columbia Theatre in Newark, where I was a sort of handy-andy about the theatre, from helping to dress the leading men to holding the prompt book ana' sweeping out, "We were playing 'Men and Wo men" at that time, and the elopement of the juvenile lead with the wife of a New York theatrical agent left a place vacant in the cast. The mana ger had made an eleventh hour dis covery of the matter «ner was fairly beside himself with rage and despera tion to know how he was going to fill the part. This I considered was my chance, so, going forward with a thumping heart, I put the matter squarely up to him. I told him I was familiar with the lines through my nightly conning of the prompt- book and that I knew the way the part should be played. With the most ap parent reluctance and misgivings, he finally consented for me to 'go on.' "It was a great moment for me.

"Most men individually are pretty fair and reasonable, but often a crowd surrounding an agitator forms an un reasonable and unreasoning aggreg ate. Do they actually hypnotize each other—the agitator and the crowd'f I often wonder. Cannot men reason justly in a crowd? Is a certain cubic air space necessary to a man's clear thinking? If men get closer do their brains stop functioning? I confess that I don't know; but I know that whe ncrowds gather something often seems to stop thinking. Perhaps A man who wants to think clearly should get into the center of a ten I acre lot." In this connection the following is interesting: A Mob is a Blot. "In charging the grand jury which has been summoned to investigate the Olean note, Justice Cole said: 'For a mob there is no such thing as justi fication, no such a thing as excuses, no such thing as palliation. The man who attempts to justify it forfeits the right to decent opinion of his fellow men. The community which attempts to justify it forfeits the right to re spectable . standing in the family of communities within the state. A mob is simply a blot."—Thos. A.
