WOMEN BLACKLIST
FOES IN CONGRESS
Mine Senators and Nine Repre-
sentatives Named.
SUFFRAGE PROCLAMATION


Chicago. Nine United States sena-
aOrs and nine congressman whose op
position to woman suffrage Is SO power
suE as to constitute the greatest OBJ
stacle to final legislation that the wom-
an have to face are named In a
statement issued here by the National
American Suffrage Association.
The statement is termed a blacklist
~ ats authors. 1t was written. by DR..
Anna Howard Shaw, president of the
association, and Mrs. Medill McCor-
mick. chairman of the congressional
committee, and appeals to all suffrage
organizations to concentrate their In
1luence to defeat for reelection the
men named.
The nine senator's whose defeat the
women urge are:
Brandegee, Of Connecticut; Clarke,
Il Arkansas; Dillingham;, Of Vermont;
fletcher, Of Florida; Gore, of Okla
A0ma; Root. Of New York; Shively, Of
Indiana; Smith, Of Maryland, and
Lodge. Of Massachusetts,.
The members Of the House are:
Underwood, Of Alabama; Mann, Of
Illinois: Fitzgerald. of New York;
Page, Of North Carolina: Galloway,
81 Texas; Garner, of Texas; Garrett,
u Tennessee; Hay, Of Virginia, and
Eisson. of Mississippi.
'aThis is believed to be the first
time In the history of the woman
suffrage movement that women have
Eesorted to blacklist Of those OPP
posed to them," reads the announce
ment. 1.-THE congressional committee
has spent a year in lobbying for the
passage of national legislation which
would bring woman suffrage through
cut the United States. We have polled
both Houses of Congress repeatedly,
and we know how every member
stands.
We regard the nine senators
named as the bulwark Of the oppo-
sition. All Of them retire in 1915,
except Senator Lodge, whose term
expires in 1917. The latter is SO de-
sesmined in his opposition that we
eOmmend his case to the women Of
Massachusetts,, who have two years In
which to organize against him."

bore no insignia of rank. One English
publication states that with perhaps
one exception the brayest thing ever
done by British soldier was the act
of u drummer boy.
That drummer boy. il nvirS. is now
a man seventy-two years old, and for
81 years of that time he has been wear

the right to write v. G, after his name.
This boy in the year 1857, amid show
er Of shot and shells, fastened bags
of gunpowder on the gates of Delhi.
He carried death In his arms that day
and met 1t in other forms all along his
way. Others helped him and were
killed; he lived and wore the cross

dashed first into the stronghold Of

To the Oriental mind dancing is
something that should be done pro-
fessionally, to amuse the host and
guests looking on. They cannot COM
prehend men and women dancing to-
gether as partners. except as a scheme
for flirting.
The Japanese artist Yoshio Markino
recounts that he was frankly amazed
when his host, who was IAN old man
OF about sixty" told him that he was
going to ball. and that he was go
ing because he loved dancing.

Goodyear Prices
Il Is Folly Today to Paw More


There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 1t re-
suits from War conditions.
These leading tires built Of extra.fine
rubber, IN the same way as always are
selling today at june prices.
You win find today . very wide difference
between most tire prices and Goodycars.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to us.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We,s like
Others in that panic-were forced to higher
prices But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part Of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there
We eabled them to buy up the pick Of the rub
Der. They bought-before the advance i $780,
900 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to us
And it means practically all Of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the worlds
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well
assured Of q constant supply, and our pick Of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick
est in action. As result, we shall soon have in

Be Careful Now

In Goodyears we pledge you the same grade
tire as always. And that grade won for Good
years the top place in Tiredom the largest sale
In the world
And, for the time being, our prices are the
same as before the war. We shall try to keep
them there,
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied. And we charge them,
until further notice, only ante-bellum prices
That means that Goodyears best
tires built are selling way below other tires.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1914-09-04

Storage an almost record supply Of this extra
grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double

About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it, Much Of it had
been rejected. But that ssoff rubber now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance Of
Goodyears. And many tire makers, short of
supplies, will be forced to use second-grade
rubber.

The following resolutions were pre-
sented by Mr.. I. s. Brooks president of
the Brandywine Farmers Club to the
Legislative Committee appointed to
map out plans for the DEVELOPMENT of
Southern Maryland at their meeting
here on February 23rd.
Whereas, the information now nos.
essed by our Experimental Station and
Agricultural G 'llege is generally re-
cognized to be of great value to the
farmers: and,
Whereas, under present conditions
the means for disseminating this know.
ledge is limited and,
Whereas, actual demonstration has
been found to be the mast effective
means of impressing the value of scien.
tific methods upon the farmers: there
fore,
Be it resolved, that provision be made
for establishing and maintaining one or
more demonstration farms in each
county of Southern Maryland.
Whereas. the proposed military road
from Washington connecting the Mil.
tary Reservations along the Potomac
River would be of mutual value to the
people of the state as we'll as to the
National Government: therefore,
Be it resolved, that the State should
take proper action to interest the Nat
ional Government in the construction of
such . road.
Weersas, the need for additional tran
sportation facilities in the lower section
of Prince Georges County, is generally
recopniZed: and
Whereas, people in that locality nave
to pay Kali Road fare and freight rates
on forty (40) miles to get distance of
fifteen miles; and,
Whereas, it Is absolutely essential to
the development of Southern Maryland,
that economical transportation facilities
ee provided: therefore,
Be it resolved, that the legislature
should provide for State aid to assist
and encourage the construc' ion of all
electrict ROAD from Braudywine, Md. to

Whereas, the application of lime to
the soil has been found to be the start
ing point for soil improvements in
Southern Marylsnd: and,
Whereas, the excessive cost OF the
initial application under present condi-
tons makes it impossible for many
farmers to use lime: and, :,
Whereas, in other States raw crushed
limestone is being delivered to the
farmers at price rangeinR around one
dollar (s1) per ton: therefore.
