There Is no occasion for a lew suffragists to get rampant and indignant, for the reason that they already have the ballot. The only way ratifying the amendment can af fect them is solely a matter of pride. If they want to "make a showing" and set a pace for their Eastern sis ters, their several hundred, or sev eral thousand, members should take up a popular subscription among themselves and raise the amount for the special session.' The extra ses sion .would cost many of the solons at least $75 or 100. That would be an appropriate amount for each of the suffrage enthusiasts to donate for the special session besides they would thus win added honor. . Pass the hat. "AT JOY BEGINNING WED.

The homes have no sink and the water has to be carried out again perhaps about as far. The practice may make good walkers of the wom- but it also boosts the high price of shoes.? It is well that prohibition leaders are not going to start a campaign against tobacco. Banish the filthy weed and the "brutes" would start to chewing garlic and smoking skunk cabbage, let well enough alone. The railroad men should start a new political party, based on their federal ownership plan, A would at least bring a showdown on the proposition.

True, yet those hounds will say anything In the world to get American women to ape their styles. Should the farmers remain peeved and reduce their acreage next year, the president will" wish he had never heard of a daylight saving bill. It's amazing the faith Marshal Poch places 1n the league of nations Here's Jils faith in the covenant: He advises England to keep armed tc the teeth. Headline: "Swift to qiilt tanning." Having reference, of course, to cow hides he will continue to skin the public. The general impression seems to be to trust in the league of nations, but keep on making cannon and building warships. The good old days: When you could buy a sack of flour and ten arm load of groceries for a dollar. The story of "Oh, You Women!" deals with the problem of what a fellow is going to do when he conies home from the war and finds the women all rigged up as men and a girl In his Job. The fellow In this Instance' is a rlstnir you 11 2 rltlren nf fthe little town of Fremont Abra ham IJncoln Jones. Abe is the pride of Fremont's "Congress" a bunrh of old coots which meet every evening In the rear of Hobart's grocery store to discuss the political problems .of the uni verse. In the day time, lAbe sweeps up the dusts out of the mayor's of fice, the mayor being old Joe Bush, a civil war veteran who has held the job for' 28 years, and who has had his eye on (Abe as a successor ever since Abe was a little shaver. The old major Is as proud of Abe as though he were his own son, and the two of them have mapped out Abe's career right banR up to the White House, and then some. The most important woman In Fremont is little Mary Shelby, the dressmaker. When any fresh com mercial traveler ever suggests that Fremont is a' back number, he Is lead around to Mary's place and shown the New York styles. In fact, Alary takes "Vogue" and everything. Now Mary Is secretly In love iwlth little Abe, but Abe Is so taken up with world affairs that he has no time for women. The richest man in the town Is Alec Smart, a regular up-to-the min ute Sears-Roebuck sport. Alec loves Mary and insists on telling her so several times a day, much to .Mary's annoyance. v Finally a cyclone hits the town in the person of LAurora Noyes, a' club woman from th city who is the mayor's cousin, and who has decided to come down to Fremont and keep house for him. Aurora brings along her daughter, Lotta Noyes, a gradu ate of Strongjaw University, and the two of them waste no time in or ganizing a political club, to show the women of Fremont how out of date they are intellectually, Industrially, and politically. Of course thing (he- gin to happen and but, ph. come see for yourself. Oh, You Women will have a two days' run at the Joy theater beginning Wednesday.
