The result was the purchase of a kit of barber tools. FORMER RED Ashland, April 24. The local Commercial club closed a big drive : for new members, and reorganiza tion of the club on an entirely new plan, placing the control of the or ganization and decision in all mat ters up to vote of the entire mem bership. More than 80 volunteer workers. Including 20 women, were canvassing. . meeting for lunch to compare results. The whole town was aroused for ex panded cooperative work. The goal of not loss than 400 mem bers, from the Interest shown, will be exceeded. QITESTIOJJ Jf AIHKH ME5T Questionnaires were sent out to all citizens to be filled with their first, .....a .1.1 . . i . : . a . . . i . . . v. undertaken for the betterment of civic conditions. The club was so deluded with the hearty response to this that many volunteer clerks were pressed into service to tabulate anil arrange the choice Into a list of desired work. A tentative program of work commit tee, selected by popular .vote, went over the things suggested and mapped out a program. , Increase of the irrigation water sup ply headed the lint, with developing of the present and encouraging the com ing of new industries, especially a can nery, a close second. "DO IT FOB A8IILAHD" Itulldlng up of the natural advan tages of the town as a tourist and re sort place and expansion of the educa tional advantages that accrue from the yearly Chautauqua stood high on the list. After the tentative program of work was made out a budget commit tee decided on a fund of $6000 to carry out plans. Many residents of the outlying iTls. trlcts expressed a desire to come in and a "flying squadron" is taking care of the listing of membership In theBe dis tricts. Memberships are pledged for a term of three years. The slogan Is, "Do taken to Idaho.: wpre you not?" asked IS STATE'S WITNESS AT SORLLIE TRIAL Spectators at the trial of Lawrence A.

J "Well, they arrested mc and to$k me to Idaho, and after I got there 1 was a witness and told the truth." was the response. Shupp has been a job delegate and a "stationery delegate" on the district or ganization committee of the I. W. W. at Spokane, in ' the latter position his du ties being to distribute literature of the organization to delegates. He has been a member of the agricultural and the lumber workers' sections of the I. W. W., but testified that he dropped out of the organization November 8 of last year. He told of taking a quantity of I. W. W. literature from the hall In Spokane to his own home when raids were im minent there, and of having a number of these documents on hft person when he was arrested and taken to Idaho. IDENTIFIES T. W. W. LITERATURE He identified numerous I. W. W. pub lications submitted in evidence as those similar to the ones he had circulated to delegates of, the organization, but he couldn't identify a pamphlet, "Opening Statement of George V. Vanderveer." and Vanderveer remarked : "Well, that doesn't make any difference, so far as I am concerned." Judge Morrow announced today that he proposes to lose no time in carrying the trial to a conclusion, and that be ginning Monday he will hold night ses sions of court. SUFFRA EXPECTED TO GE ISSUE FRANK GOULD IS' WIN SUED FOR DIVORCE: IN NORTH CAROLINA CHARGES D VERS nn) Washington,- April 24. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL.) It. looks now as though North Carolina will be the thirty sixth state to ratify the equal suf frage amendment and take the hon or of putting suffrage over the tpo, after the dramatic failure in Dela ware. Governor Bickett of North Carolina is a strong advocate of suffrage, and he will call an extra session the last of May or first of June. The Democratic state convention the other day declared for suffrage and Senator Simmons, the big wig of the party In that state, although he has personally opposed suffrage, has given word to go ahead with It. BELIEVES; QUESTION DECIDED Senator Simmons, in a statement, said he believed the question of suffrage has virtually been decided, and the ques tion is whether North Carolina will be the decisive state or allow some other state to claim the distinction. He said he believed it good policy for the Demo crats tit the state to ratify. The .Louisiana legislature meets in May, but is not expected to act favor ably. Pol If taken there have shown an unfavorable outlook, although the new governor, John M. Parker, is a strong advocate of suffrage. So North Carolina has the call, in the opinion of the suf frage workers. Secretary Daniels, who is from North Carolina, has been mingling with the home people, and is confident suffrage will win when the legislature meets. DEMOCRATS ARE HOPEFUL Some keen appraisers of political sent iment believe that it women vote in all the statfw the advantage will be with the Democrats, particularly with the League of Nations as an issue. The sentiment of women's clubs and organ izations of women generally has been manifested in favor of the league. It is remembered that at the meeting of the national women voters' league, succes sor to the national suffrage association, a few weeks ago, a resolution indorsing the league was passed after a provision declaring for reservations had been stricken out. If this represents" the attitude of rep resentative women from all parts of the country, they want the league without quibbles over reservations, and they want It now. WOMEN'S VOTE FACTOR If in the time of need a strong Demo cratic state furnishes the one more vote that ,1s necessary, after Republican-controlled Delaware turned it down, the women will have a Rpecial reason for thinking well of the Democrats. The Republicans have particular fear of the women in some of "the Eastern states where standpat, anti-league, anti suffrage senators are up for re-election. It is the woman vote that causes doubt about the return of Senator Wadsworth in New York, and Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, irreconcilable foe of the treaty, hater i of Wilnon, and a sar castic critic of all humanitarian move ments, will be endangered when the vote Is conferred on the women of that state. (Bj United Ni New York, April 24. Another tangle in the martial affairs of Frank GouH, youngest son of Jay Gould, and one of the heirs to the latter's millions, appeared today, when; Mrs. Edith Kelly Gould filed suit In (he supreme court here for separation and maintenance. . ! The charges brought against Gould by his wife, who was an English actress. Include : Drunkenness, uncleanliness, temporary insanity, cruelty, personal assault and affairs with other women. Two women were named in the complaint SATS HE 18 DANGEEOrS This is said to be the most unusual complaint for separation ever introduced into the supreme court here., Frnk Gould was divorced from his wife by courts in Paris a year ago. and she. al leges in her complaint that the -courts there had no jurisdiction over the case. OSEffl CAILLAUX GIVEN HIS LIBERTY Paris, April 24. (17. P.) Joseph Cuillaux, former premier of France, convicted of holding communication with the enemy, was released today. Caillaux left the hospttal at Neuilly, where he had been confined, after ;a lec ture by the senate officials who warned him the order of liberation forbade him to sojourn In Paris or any of the big French cities. He motored to his residence in Paris, from where he will leave soon for the country. While the former premier was sen tenced to three years' imprisonment, the time he was kept in solitary confine ment was credited as offsetting the sen tence, i WOOD'S TACTICS DANGKROCS TO SUCCESS IN SEW JERSEY By Robert J.

The fireman, Charles Schultz, was in tantly killed and Oscar Parrifh, the engineer, was fearfully injured, while C. W.

While Attor ney General Palmer affirms that the strike was the result of 1. W.KV. leadership, and of the work ing out of an international Communist program, Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, blames "men like Senator Cummins and Governor Allen, of Kansas, with their legis lation to deny a man the right to quit work to enforce a legitimate claim or redress an injujy" for the "wave of uncontrollable resentment" which found expression in this strike. The Evening Pub lic Ledger (Philadelphia) declares that "the pressure that greed and stupid opportunism have put upon all wage-earners is almost intolerable. To be promised relief, yet to see the cost of neces sities rising steadily about twice as fast as your wages, to see a day approaching when shoes and shelter may be matters of doubt, is to be ready material in the hands of blind agitators.", Read THE DIGEST this week if you would get the news of this great strike as drawn from all available sources. "The Digest's" Poll of 11,000,000 Voters r The Most Impressive Indication of the People's Choice for the Presidency Ever Given Outside of a Presidential Election When it is recalled that the total vote ca$t in the .last presidential election Was about eighteen and one-half millions and that in the present poll THil DIGEST is taking, eleven million voters are being asked to name their choices for the presidency, it will be seen that the results of this poll will give a very accurate idea of the man that the American public want for president., The second week's returns are published in THE DIGEST for April 24. Every section of the country is being canvassed by mail in this polj, and many thousands of votes are being received daily. From now on up to the presidential conventions in June the DIGEST will print a weekly tabulation of this monster vote and it is not tcrofmuch to say that it will be carefully and eagerly scanned by the public, and in all likelihood will hav.e a con siderable influence upon the selection of the candi dates at the convention of the two great parties, j All the World-News of the Week in "The Digest" Besides the two feature articles, before mentioned, this week's DIGEST is particularly interesting There is a wide variety of news articles covering International Politics, The War Situation in Europe, Science and Invention, Religion and Social Service, Literature, Drama, Music and Education, while the lighter side of life is reflected in the form of humorous cartoons and other illustrations t I April 24th Number on Sale To-day News-dealers 10 Cents $4.00 !a Year The 'm.
