proposition to ask the voters of this
state not TO vote on any more amend

women have been given the right to

Nod and organization Is now the chief

day that street speaking Is the most
effective way to reach the men voters.
The apathy of men was declared re-

LATE WAR news

HeaIy fighting continues IN north
west France ard west Flanders. the
Germans eternally hammering at the
solid line of the Belgian and allied
forces, but late reports wiven the latter
holding their own successfully.
In the east the Germans are also ag-
gressive and are determined to take
Warsaw and claim this will be ac-
cOmplished.
Near Lille the French are reported
to have been attacking vigorously for
several days, but have been repulsed
with severe losses.
Aerial and submarine instruments of
modern warfare continue to play i'm
portant parts in the contest.
The news if anything is more strictly
censored than ever before and what
little that is allowed to leak out is
unauthentic and liable to De denied
within an hour after its publication.
For the past week the reports have
been giving the Germans a little the
better of the conflict, but all claims
have been denied by the Allies, and it
is impossible to figure out anything
authentic from the multiplied V of con-
fiicting reports.

IN MEMORY OF THE SUD-
DEN TAKING A WAY.
OF Two Beloved Women.

Our little town has been shocked
twice in the pas: few weeks by the
sudden death of two cf our best known
and beloved women.
The death of Mrs Hughes was sudden,
the death of Mrs. West was tragic and
both left heart broken husbands and
children to moan their loss. We recall
these beautiful lines by Lytton and re-
print them in their memory.
There is no death, The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.
There is no death The dust We tread
Shall change beneath the summer
showers
To golden grain or mellowed fruit.
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize,
And feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life,
From out the view!ess air.
There is no death! The leaves may fall,
And flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours,
The coming Of the May.
There is no death, An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead.
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
lie piucks our fairest, sweetest
flowers;
Transpianted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
Tho birdlike voice, whose joyous tones.
Made glad these scenes cf sin and
strife,
Sings now an everlasting song,
Around the tree Of life.
/ Where 'er he sees a smile too bright.
! Or heart too pure for faint and vice,
He bears it to that world OF light.
To dwell in paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With JOY We welcome them the same,
Except their sin and pain.
And ever near Us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the b0Gndless universe
Is life-there are no dead.
