Miss Alice goes further; she doubts if there is a woman in America equipped for a place on the Amer ican delegation to the conference on disarmament "There is one woman In America qualified to sit as a member of that conference," said she. "She may lack legal training, but otherwise she Is all right I shall not "name her, but will give you a week to . guess on her name." ' Miss Robertson went to the White ' House this week to discuss patron - age and other matters of Interest to ... . her constituents, but not to ask that a woman be named for the Novem ber conference. "Show me a woman with proper qualifications for such a post" said aha, when asked if she would rec- ommend one of her own sex for ' membership on the American dele gation. "Show ma one. Well, I know one that almost Alls the bill." "What should be her qualifica tions ?" Miss Robertson was asked. "Competency should rule In decld ' Ing on the United States delegates," ah declared. "A woman to have that place should be learned in in ternational law. She ahould "have diplomatic knowledge and training. ' She should be a linguist Her social , position should be above question.

The" woman I have in mind may be able to qualify." Miss Robertson would not com ment on individuals. When asked about certain well-known suffrage leaders she declined to answer. "Miss Alice," as she is affection ately called by colleagues who know her well, is weeding her own row In the house and taking dictation from no woman's organization. Mint Rnhprtann haa incurred the hostility of all of the advocates of the "maternity bill" by her strenu ous opposition to it. She has aroused r,fflrii nt the children's bureau by making slighting remarks about its work. She is strong for "states rights." She thinks that the federal govern ment "meddles too much in the af fairs of the states now." Women prominent In the suffrage movement for the last few years are preparing to try to defeat Miss Rob ertson In her district. They take the position that she is doing more harm to the cause of women than any number of women would do. Her avowed opposition to woman" suf frage angers the Alice Paul suffra gettes. Miss Robertson considers woman suffrage a "burden," and is opposed to the legislative program being urged upon Congress -by the Na tional League of Women Voters and the National Woman's party. Her opposition is gradually taking the form of a vigorous one-woman cam paign against the maternity bill and other measures projected by the for mer suffrage leaders. , .

A public lime atorags bin for ' the farmers of Iredell county, is now s certainty. This bin, which will hold six carloads bf limestone, Is among tho first public lima storage bins to be established , In that stats. For several months county agent, R. W. Oraeber, has been pushing this Im portant 'matter, and he announces that the farm bureau haa Just completed arrangements with the firm of Holland Brothers for the erection of a bin in connection with their trestle at their coal yard near the atatlon. Tha great. drawback In the past to getting Urns was In the necessity for the farmer to buy a whole car load of lime or work up a co-operative car with his neighbors, and then many times tha shipment would ar rive when "he was very bttsy with soma crop. The storage bin will on able a farmer tor get one ton or SO tons at a time and when most, con venient for him ot haul it. "The establishment of this lime bin." says County Agent R, W.

Dur ing 1(10 the farmera of this county used 3,047 tons of lime, and with a convenient arrangement for securing same the amount used will be' mul tiplied a number of times. An ap plication of lime means a larger clover crop or eo wpea crop and the benefit will then be reflected In any crop that follows."
