Kibble Selling Land
Box Butte County Land Continues to
Change Hands at Good Prices
CLOSED DEALS LAST WEEK
E. T. Kibble, the Box Butte coua
ty real estate dealer, closed deals
for two quarter-sections of Box
Butte county land last week. W. W.
Norton purchased a fine quarter of
land which was adjacent to and fit
'ted well wMh his large ranch south
east of Alliance. This shows that
local investors have confidence in
the country and continue to add to
their holdings. Mr. Norton is the
owner of more than 8,000 acres of
Box Butte county land now and
buys more at every opportunity.
Mrs. Foster, of Onuaha, was the
purchaser of another quarter from
Mr. Kibble. Her husband is a
bricklayer and gets $30 per week
for 11. Said he had' no time to leave
hid- work -and sent h wife out - to
pick out a piece. She purchased a
fine quarter lying six and one-half
miles northwest of Alliance. It is
raw land. They expect to move on
to and improve h next season.
Mr. Kibble states that interest In
Box Butte county is increasing
among the owners of high priced
lands in eastern Nebraska, where
the land raises no larger crops and
where it sells for ail, eight or ten
times as much.
Mrs. John W. Thomas, who has
been at Mitchell, assisting in the
care of a sister, who is very ill, re
turned Saturday.
Rev. Hesermann. Lutheran minis
ter at RushvHIe, arrived Saturday
noon, to attend the services at Berea

The demand for n fair suffrage
hearing In the House of Representa
tives was carried directly to Chair
man Henry of the Rules Committee
when a delegation of women cared
on him to ask that his committee
make a favorable report on a pend
ing bill to create a woman suffrage
committee in the House.
The delegation was headed by
Mrs. Helen H. Gardener. The oth
ers were Mrs. Shafroth, wife of Sen
ator Shnfroth of Colorado; Mrs.
Stone, wife of Representative Tay
lor of Coloado; and Mrs. Raker, wife
of Representative Raker of Califor
nia. Mrs. Gardener and Mrs. Stone al
so told Mr. Henry that one-fifth of
the House membership now come
from states where women vote, and
that one-sixth of the electoral votes
are cast by equal suffrage mates.
They also n!id that in the 1916 pres
idential election nearly 4,000,000 wo
men will vote, even If no more states
enfranchise women in the mean
time.
Suffrage bills for twenty-three
years have been referred in the
House to the Judiciary Coiniinlt'tee,
they said, and this committee has
proved a "graveyard" for such bills.
in order to be fair the House should
five the women a chance to be
heard before an Impartial commit
tee, and should give the people of
the country an opportunity to vote
on the question of woman suffrage.
Mr. Henry promised the suffrag
ists that he would see that the
Rules Committee grants them a com
plete hearing as soon as possible,
and that toe would do all he oould
to see that they were treated fairly
Petition day in Nebraska waa a
;reat event. All over the state the
printed petition blanks for the sub
mission of a proposed constitutional
amendment for woman suffrage in
1914 were circulated by busy work

made a strong defense of woman
sufrraRe. He lis reported by the

"In speaking of the relation which
woman suffrage bears to the pur
suit of crimfmilA and to crime In Its
entangled ramifications an-i Just
how votes for wwmen in California
have reduced crime and' fa rll Mated
methods of apprvhendlng violators
of the law," he said, "I may sur
prise ycu when I present to you a
list of the liws passed by our legis
lature at its recent BOKlon, each
act arfeotlng wornem and children.
Had it not been for the Interest our
women voters displayed in thesa
laws, many or all of them would
have died in the committees.
"Firet of all, It was through wo
man suffuse we obtained recogni
tion for our iol'Iceewomen, and my
experience with them causes me to
believe that in every municipal de

Uhleago now favors this.
"The explanation for this Is that
women and girls do not hesitate in
talking when questioned by a sym
pathetic woman police official, but
oiieniunes wwi suppress a crlmo

has tended to decrease crime In
Los Angeles and other California
cities 1 not so much what women
voters have done; It is the tremend
ous, though unconscious, influence
which they command. There has
been a remarkable decrease in the
number of crimes of violence In our
