A fresh development in the govern

to result from an appeal for help to the
Department OF Agriculture. voiced by the
American Society for Thrift. The pur-
pose Of a plan outlined to Washington

nate the costly middleman's profits

ranging a bulletin price service from
nearby farming districts to city homes.
Orders filed one day by housekeepers will
be filled and shipped by parcel post the

Society are working hard to put the
service into operation by October /
The Department Of Agriculture and the
Postoftice Department have been request
ed to scrutlnize the working out OF this
scheme. II the expected success is
achieved. the society will ask the gov

.BLACKMAL IS Charge
flung At SUFFRAGISTS
Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge Declares Ants
Will Fight Foes Who Announced
Congressional Blacklist"
TIME COME FOR TUG OF WAR

'Blackmail.' rather than Blacklist
more nearly describes the attack on
members OF Congress announced yester-
day by the suffrsgists,' was the COM
ment made last evening by Mrs Arthur
NJ. Dodge. OF New York. president OF the
National Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage. In effect the suffragists say
to the men in control of the government
that failure to take instructions from an
organization representing a small minor
ity OF American women will be punished
by a vindictive attempt 10 end their
political careers.
''Th anti-suffragists. since the begin
ming OF the war in Europe, have en-
deavored to minimize their political
activities in order 10 transfer their en-
ergies and resources TO the work OF re-
neving suffering humanity in the var
zone" Mrs Dodge continued in a state
ment given out here today by the Wash
ingtOn headquarters OF the Antis. This
stand taken by the suffragists, how
ever. will force us back into the fight
If the suffragists are sincere in their
threats to invade the districts Of the
eighteen men named in their Blacklist
the National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage will meet the issue fair
ly and squarely. Our organization is per
leCtly equipped Tor pOlltlCal ilght We
are prepared TO send our abIest speakers
into the campaign and see that the truth
about the 'Suffragist Blacklist is told
and that full justice Is done to the men
selected for an unwarranted and unrea-
soninG attack.
The suffragists have long boas,ed of
their ability TO intimidate men in public
life and sway the voters of their dis
tricts for or against them. The anti
suffragists have studiously rcfrained
from participation in such discussions
Now, however. the time has come for
true test OF strength.
II am glad of It. We propose to put
an end forever to the idle threats OF
little band of eXcitable women. When
the coming elections are settled there will
be a cessation of suffragist boasting and
a much-needed rest from reiterated. tire
some and exceedingly silly threats"
