FITTINGLY OBSERVED IN PENSACOLA

in this receptacle and sent later to
headquarters.
The text of the proclamation issued
by the suffrage campaign COMMITTEE
is part as follows:
Women Of America, generations ago
country stood in needs Her treasure
chests were empty. 1t was a time or
stress and peril In her hour of ex-
treuity the women Of the land We're
called upon to either give ornaments or
gold. And as women have always re-
sponded to an appeal for help, SO they
responded then and the tokens that
were given in exchange by a grateful
government are today patents of hon
or and patriotism to the women of the
race.
We call upon you today in an hour
Of need.
We call upon you to give from your
treasure store of precious metal, from
your keepsakes of gold and silver, that
in the suffrage campaign states where
women are making a stand for po-
litical equality, they shall not fall be-
cause the treasury is empty.
Among your personal possessions
there is something you can give, some
thing you can consecrate, perhaps a
little silver cup kept for love or some
child. Every three minutes a baby
dies in this land of ours from some
preventable disease or from improper
food. Give the little cup, that the
mother wisdom of the country may
express itself directly through wise
sane laws for the good OF children.
If the thimble of your girlhood is
among your keepsakes, send 1t with
thought for the thousands of young
girls exploited by greed, unprotected by
law, in the hot sweatshops of the city
slums.
OF course many who do not care to
sacrifice their keepsakes will make

In compiling this report Mr.. Bean
was compelled to start sometime before
the date the report is called for, which
necessitates subsequent report, and
for that reason the exact figures are
not yet available for publication.
The total amount Of taxable property
this year including the railroad right

on account Of the railroad assessment
just stated. On August 1st, we will
lose to Wibaux approximately $353,5S0
Of railroad taxes and $1,512,969 mis-
