CALL BACK DARING PAMPHLETS
Said Suffrage Might Lead to Socialism
Even to Free owe

New York, Dec. 5.-A series of dar-
ing pamphlets, issued and widely cir
culated by the League for the Civic
Education of Women, caused a ire
mendous internal commotion in the
ranks of that semifashionable organ
ization, which includes among its
members, Mrs. Samuel Untermyer,
Mrs. Paul Morton, Mrs. e. G. Hewitt,
Mrs. H. Seligman and others. A
hurry call has been sent out to
gather up all pamphlets that can be
found" and bring them back to head
quarters at 222 Madison ave. They
positively must be recalled, league
leaders say.
Broad" is mild term when used
to describe sentiments and language
of the pamphlets. Mrs. Richard Wat
son Glider is president and Mrs. Gill
bert E. Jones, executive committee
chairman of the league.
The pamphlets endeavor to show, it
is said, that woman suffrage leads TO
socialism, even TO free love.

look in "A Breezy Tlme.n

Plainview Republican: Andy Han.
sen and Fred Ebnger played good
joke on themselves Tuesday evening.
They formed a conspiracy to attend
the play and have a Breezy Time with
out letting their better halves know
anything about It. They reported at
their homes that the play was no good
and not fit for decent people to see
and hear and that under no circum-
stances would they attend it, The lad
les got their heads together and con-
cluded to go to the play and never
cheep a word about it to their hus-
bands who they calculated would not
be there. Thinking the deal as good as
fixed Andy and Fred sauntered gaily
up to the opera house. They were
escorted well toward the front by the
usher and seated behind two very
handsome ladies where they prepared
to have the time of their lives. Our
readers can judge of their surprise
and horror when they found that these
two ladies were their wives Mrs. Han
sen and Mrs. Ebinger, too were very
much embarrassed but made the best
of it by going into an agreement to
keep the whole affair a secret for a
period of their natural lives. Out of
respect to the feelings of these good
people we would request our readers
not to mention the matter to more
than half dozen of their friends.

PiIuer "lids. 4"

Pilger is struggling with several lids,
according to the Herald.
There is the Sunday lid" Rev. Mr..
Rominger is back of that A week ago
he preached a powerful sermon on
Sunday desecration in Pilger while
the carpenters on the new school
building and the water works pounded
merrily away. Last Sunday the
mayor stopped the crew at the water
works, but the minister preached his
second dissertation sermon to ham
mering on the school building. The
school contractor has at last promised
to be good.
There is the Juvenile lid" Marshal

Twenty days until Christmas And
Just sixteen more shopping days.
Christmas shopping began this week,
the buying Of holiday presents not
having been noted by Norfolk avenue
merchants to any extent until the last
two or three days. Presents, however,
are now being laid aside" in consid.
cradle numbers and the coming week
will see the special Christmas buying
well under way,
Never have Norfolk stores offered so
complete and attractive a stock for
holiday buyers as is upon the shelves
of Norfolk stores just now.
Early Shopping.
This is the season of the appeal "to
shop early" II is an appeal in the in.
terests of the customer, the clerk and
the merchant. The early shopper has
of course the pick of the stock and
the special attention of the clerks AL.
though additional clerks are already
being added in the larger stores and
the number will be still further IN.
creased, 1t is always a physical i'm
possibility to give the same degree OF
attention to customers during the last
days of the Christmas rush that can
be given them just now
The majority of Norfolk merchants
anticipate a successful season. Travel
ing men say that over the country
there has been noticeable a certain
amount of hesitation on the part of
merchants to stock up heavy on &C.
count of last years panic experience.
The prosperous condition of north Ne.
braska banishes the grounds for any
such feeling in Norfolk.
Sore at the Christmas Tree.
Christmas tree merchants in Norfolk
will be few this year. Norfolk bust
ness men who have had experience
handling Christmas trees are sore at
the tree business and few If any of
the larger stores will have trees in
stock. A number dropped the trees
last year and more have deserted this
year The price of Christmas trees
too may advance. Last year there was
an advance and the forest fires in the
north are said to have cut down the
years supply. The Christmas tree
business had been overdone in Norfolk
and stocks are always picked and
damaged Last year merchants burned
a good portion of their supply
Sunday School Attendance.
Sunday school attendance, after hav-
ing tagged somewhat, is again en-
couraging. Nearly every Sunday
school in Norfolk will have Christ
mas tree and program. The school of
st. Paul's Ev. Lutheran church will
have a big tree sent specially from
Wisconsin, the birth place of st.
Pauls church.
