The state board of control has closed
a contract for $4,000 tons Of coal to be
used at the various state institutions dur
ing next winter. The contract was let

different institutions, because Of the Diff

bituminous. The $4,000 tons will supply
every institution Of the state, except the
Soldiers Home.

THE WOMEN OF PERSIA
Missionary Tells Westminster Women OF
Their PitabIe Condition.

Rev. F. G. Coan spoke to the Women's
Foreign Missionary society Of Westmin-
ster church yesterday afternoon on the
situation Of Persia and the
status of women under the Persian re-
ligion. Rev Mr.. Coan, who was born in
Persia, said that the condition Of the
women was degraded, and the cause as
signed was the lax laws Of marriage and
divorce. The marriages may occur when
the children given in marriage are little
more than infants. Divorces are a simple
means Of changing women when the hus-
band tires of his wife. There is prac-
tically no chance for the divorced wife.
Rev. Mr.. Coan pointed out that the
way to save these unfortunates was to
carry the Christian religion to their homes.
The women when they see the Christian
idea of matrimony. are apt to seek the
other pearls Of the Christian religion.
More money is needed for the work OF
educating the girls Many are turned
away because the missionaries lack the
few dollars necessary for the maintenance
of the schools.
Another address will be made this eve
ming. Rev. Mr.. Coan is the guest of Mrs
I. p. Hale Of Clifton place.
