HELPFUL WORDS
From an Aberdeen Citizen,

Is your back lame and painful?
Does it ache, especially after exertiOn?
Is there soreness in the kidney region?
These symptoms indicate weak kid

The supervisors will have the ap-
pointment Of enumerators in their

merators to a district will depend
upon the number Of counties and

be one enumerator to each super

ty, and IN addition one to each
ward in the cities. The enumera-
tors may not be appointed until
next March or April, though it is
probable they will be named earlier.
The census work must commence
on April 1G, and must be completed
within one month, and it is proba-
BILE that enumerators selected will
be subjected to some sort Of exam
inatlon before being finally accepted.

New Orleans Plcayune, A3t
The past week has been a record
breaker in the way of hot weather
over the greater portion Of the cot
ton belt. In Texas, Oklahoma,
Arkansas, Louisiana and even Mis-
sissippi and Alabama the tempera-
ture has been higher than has been
experienced in many years. For
the greater part Of the week the
thermometer has been above 100 all
over Texas and the other portions
of the Western belt, and during at
least two days the temperature rose
above the century mark in Louis
lana This hot weather, accomp pa
MED by absence Of rain, has un-
doubtedly done further damage to
the cotton crop, about the only com
pensating advantage having been
the destruction of the boil weevils
which the heat has wrought
Owing to the heat and dry wealth
er there has been considerable shed
ding and premature opening Of
bolls, so that on the whole the con
dition Of the crop has deteriorated
except in the Eastern portion of the
belt. At the close of the week rain
fell and cooler weather greatly re-
lieved the situation in the Western
belt, but it is feared that the dam
age done has been practically irrep-
arabic.

FINE BOAT BURNS
Cruiser Mermaid Goes Up in
Smoke in Harbd of Island
City Association.
PRIDE OF THE LOCAL CLUB
Blaze Thought to Have Been Started
From a Spark From Passing
Locomotive.

The cabin cruiser Mermaid, owned
by Edward Brien and William Rich,
was destroyed yesterday afternoon by
fire while lying in the harbor of the
Island City Boating association.
The origin of the fire is mystery,
but it is supposed that it started from
sparks which came from a passing To-
connective. The boat was one of the
most valuable on the upper river, as it
represented about 81, 200 in money and
five months of work by the owners,
who built it themselves. 1t was finely
finished in walnut and oak, and was
the pride of the local boat club. It's
engine, which was valued at 5000, was
one of the most reliable and most pow
erful in this vicinity.
Spark Dropped I'm OIL.
There was considerable lubricating
oil in the bottom of the boat, where it
had leaked from the engine, and it is
supposed that a spark from an engine
dropped in this oil and started the
blaze There were several of the mem
bers of the club at the boat house at
the time the fire was discovered, and
they Immediately turned in the alarm.
Had they only known it, the boat con-
tanned chemical fire extinguishers,
with which it would have been an easy
matter to save the cruiser They were
ignorant of this fact, however, and they
stood by and watched the flames
spread until the entire boat was afire.
Probably Total Loss.
The call for the fire department
brought the wagons to the scene of the
blaze in short order and with two lines
of hose and the chemicals the fire was
soon eXtinguished. The boat is partly
insured, but the loss is a heavy one to
the owners. They have not decided
as yet whether or not there is enough
of the hull left to warrant its being
rebuilt

voice and each number was a musical
gem. Her delightful pianissimo of
soft Footed Snow" by Sigurd Lie,
heard here for the first time-and
Elm Traum' of Marjorie Aliens
were evidence of the absolute con-
troll of her voice, while the magnifi-
cent Interpretation of ''Ah, Mon Fills, -
from La Prophetic" and the bril-
liancy of ''Bolero" by Arditu gave
variety to the program. Miss Plumb
was gracious in her responses to en-
cores, and gave three delightful num-
bers. Tri-city admirers regret that
farewell as the singer, which Daven-
port claims as it's own, leaves in
about two weeks to make her homo in
Chicago. Miss Plumb has been sing
ing with the Thomas orchestra, das

They produce goods for the market

she is cheaper than the man. They
hire the child, it is cheaper than the

WOMAN'S VOTE
HUMAN FREEDOM
So Declares Miss Anna A. Maley
of New York in Address
Here Last Night.
AN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Labor Is in Competition, While Own
ers of Industries Concentrate
and Harmonic.

Miss Anna A. Maley of New York,
national organizer of the Woman's
Progressive league, lectured on
-Woman's Suffrage and Socialism"
hinder the auspices of the local branch
Of the organization at the Y NJ. c. A.
auditorium last evening. There were
about 200, the majority of them
women, in attendance. In part Miss
Maley, who is a forceful speaker, said:
"All phases of life are affected and
conditioned by our rights and oppor-
tunities in the matter of bread-getting.
To the fact that there has been a revo-
luton which has vitality affected the
position of the woman, in the bread
getting methods of society. is due the
widespread demands for suffrage today.
Political suffrage means the right %
elect governments. Governments
make laws. Laws are in relation to
life, and life is a controlling sense is
labor. since most of the people spend
most OF their time in labor-that is, IN
the breaa-getting activity.
THE socialist party stands, not for
free bread, but for free opportunity to
earn bread. The master industrial
class own today the opportunities to
earn bread. They own the land and
the machinery to which these oppo"-
tunities are connected. They have
monopoly upon the jobs upon which
the people absolutely depend and they
farm out these jobs in such manner
as to exploit the people and tax them
into condition of poverty and servi-
tude.
Competition Among LabOTers.
The masses accept the jobs at the
masters terms-they must do so.
There are more workers than there
are JOBS and the keenest competition
obtains among the labo-ers for
chance to live. More and more COM
petition among the owning class tends
TO disappear-the industries are con-
centrated in fewer and fewer hands,
while the masses of the people battle
fiercely against or another and
against the machine for an opportunity
to earn bread.
The Industrial masters. owning the
industrial means. use them for their
own profit first, last and all the time.
