At least 5000 suffragists, men and wO-
men, will gather in the national capt.

In the various states woman suffrage
workers are calling on their represent
ativeS in congress to assist them by
word of mouth and by votes next win

reluctant congress that which will eS-
tablish for all time to come our rights

Miss Lucy Burns, vice president of the
congressional union. eve have listed
more than half of the members of the
present congress, and by a file index
can tell just where they stand. Be
fore congress meets we will complete
our poll and will be able to separate the
sheep from the goats or the wolves"
Miss Burns was asked if the Union
would send any more Populations to
see the president and try to get him to
support their cause
eve have not mapped out our plan
as to the president" said Miss Burns,
"but we will wait until he declares his
position on suffrage in New Jersey be-
fore the October election there. 1t was
announced at the White House some
days ago that the president would
make public his views in his own state.
The congressional unions attitude to-
ward the president is one of watch
full waiting"
This convention will consider how
the political power of women who are
already voters may be used to help
the passage of the suffrage amendment
in the next congress. There are al
ready nearly 100000 women voters.
All the twelve suffrage states will send
voting delegates. The states in which
women are still disfranchised will send
representatives.
At this convention New York will be
strongly represented. Mrs. 0. FL. P.
Belmont, chairman of the women vot-
ers' convention, is expected to be pres
ent. Mrs. Belmont is deeply interested

Milwaukee, Sept. 6.-Every per-
son who attends the great State Fair
in this city next week, at o'clock
each afternoon, will see just how the
bird men fight each other up in the
clouds in the great European war.
Each afternoon, at the hour named,
a biplane will be seen approaching
the fair grounds. The aviator hand
ling this machine in due time will
"spot" another biplane on the fair
grounds protected by artillery and
soldiers. AS soon as he gets the
range on the biplane located on the
fair grounds, he will begin to drop
bombs at this machine. Artillery and
rifles will respond and notify him
that he will have to fight.
Then, the huge motor of the BIZ
plane on the fair grounds will begin
to hum, and up in the air will soar
the machine which the attacking avi-
ator is attempting to destroy.
When the two biplanes are in the
air will be seen the battle in the sky,
the two ayiators hurting bombs at
each other and using automatic guns

American and English Girls.

Two groups of people sat in chairs
on the liners deck. In the first, COM
posed of two American girls and
man, the girls did all the talking and
the man listened meekly. In the Sec
ond group, composed of two English
girls and man, the man did all the
talking and the girls contributed moth
ing to the conversation but respectful
attention and delighted giggles. Here
in we may perceive the difference be-
tween English girls and American
girls.
If the American woman could see
her European sisters in captivity she
would have a better appreciation OF
the freedom which she enjoys and per-
haps she wouldn't be quite SO bossy
with her good-natured, easy-going men
folk
Similarly, if the American man
could see his European brothers in the
thrall of their masters, he would think
more of his rights and privileges as a
citizen of this republic. He would
thank his Maker every night on his
knees for his blessings of liberty,
which now he regards as a matter of
course-if he regards them at all.

THRILLING BATTLE IN THE SKY
TO Be SEEN AT STATE FAIR
Two Daring Aviators Will Fight 200 Feet Above
the Excited Crowds to Show How Bird Men Duel
to Death in Great European War.

as they guide their machines in thrill
ing maneuVers.
While the fighting is going on
1000 feet above the crowds, soldiers
and artillery on the ground will con-
tinue to try to disable the attacking
aviator.
Suddenly the thousands looking on
will be shocked as they see the mill
tary observer in the attacking biplane
tumble from his seat and hurl to
ator will be compelled to escape with
his disabled biplane, and the battle
will be at an end.
While the battle in the sky is in
progress, motor will hur1 bombs
toward the attacking machine. These
bombs will rise 500 feet before they
explode with terrific force From
these bombs will unfold flags of all
nations.
While the battle is on bands will
play patriotic airs. At noon each day
the two aviators also will present
thrilling patriotic programs, and on
Monday one of them will race two
miles against a motorcycle. The avi-
ator will keep within twenty feet Of
the flying motorist.
The battle in the air is the great
est aviation act out this year, and il
was signed by Secretary Oliver E
Rcmey for this years State Fair at
Fenton, Michigan, on June 4th. Since
that date many other state fairs and
other big gatherings have arranged
fer this stellar attraction.

MAMMOTH AUTOMOBILE SHOW TO Be
A BIG FEATURE OF THE STATE FAIR
All of Machinery Hall, Total of 81, 600 Square
Feet of Space, to be Devoted to Motor Vehicles---
$4,000 Worth of Decorations to be Used.

h1bltS covering every phase of the mo-
tor industry, from the simplest device
to the monster caterpillar trucks man
ufactured in Wisconsin for the warning
nations of Europe
Arrangements have been made to
enclose the monster fire proof building
on all sides. This action of the State
Fair has been responsible for the auto
mobile industry deciding to make a
complete and comprehensive exposi-
ton of the products of more than
hundred automobile factories. With
the building enclosed it will be pos
sible to exhibit the new show models
from the various factories for the first
time this season, and gasoline and elec
trio pleasure cars will be at the State
Fair this year which otherwise would
not be exhibited until the annual auto
mobile show of the Milwaukee Auto
mobile Dealers association in January
Heretofore no attempt has been
made in the direction of decorating
Machinery hall during the State Fair
This year. however, the Milwaukee
dealers will transfer all of it's elabor-
ate show paraphernalia from the
Auditorium to the State Fair grounds.
This decorative scheme has cost the
Milwaukee dealers approximately
$4,000, and patrons of the State Fair
who have never had the opportunity
of seeing the elaborate style and de-
coration of a mid-winter auto show in
the metropolis will have this spectacu-
lar feature as one of the compensa-
lions for their visit to the Fair this
year.
The color scheme of the decorations
will be in olive green, gold and maroon
with shades of green and maroon
blending with the stronger colors. The
electrical effects of the Milwaukee Au-
ditorium Show will also be produced at
the State Fair, making the exposition
of the motor industry the foremost
spectacle OF the coming agricultural.

THE NEGRO AND THE BANJO.
There Was No Affinity Between Them
In Old Plantation Days.

To represent the negro in his comic
aspects and in his sentimental moods
was what the Ministries pretended to
do, but the pretense was often only a
hollow mockery. Even the musical in
struments they affected. the banjo and
the bones. were not as characteristic OF
the field hand or even of the town dar-
ky as the violin.
Indeed, the bones cannot be consid-
cred as in any way special to the
negro they were familiar to Shake
speares Bottom. who declares: Il have
q reasonable good ear in music; let us
have the tongs and the bones" And
the wise recorder of the words and
deeds of Uncle Remus declared that he
had never listened to the staccato pick
ing of banjo in the negro quarters of
any plantation.
II have seen the negro at work. so

Some of the Reasons
For HamiltOn's Recall

Voters. read and ponder. If Ham
ilton is not recalled, lockwood and
Conkling will continue in thc service
of the irrigation district, at their sal
aries of S4o0 and $3.50 per month. and
these big salaries may even be greatly
increased
1t is well known thai lockwood has
a plan TO 1T once bond the district for
an additional $1,000, ,000 all this money
to be spent in Mexico for building up
the great landed interests on that side
of the line, while we on this side foot
the bills.
surely our taxes have already
reached point where the burden is
as much as we can bear, so why be
willing to have them increased furthe.
by this scheme.
Should Hamilton remain i'm office,
Rockwood's scheme will be put
through, if they can possibly put ii
through. and then We would have to
fight for all future time to get enough
water through Mexico to irri gate our
ranches, let alone any further increase
of area.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-11-30

RockWood's other pet scheme is to
move the headsate into Mexico, there
by forever taking control from the
United States and placing it under the
control of Mexico.
This j. the most dangerous OF all
the many fads tina lockwood intends
to pat into effect. and must be blocked
at all hazards.
Hamilton must be recalled. for we
must get rid of Rockwood and his
high priced dream. and sc. praet-
ca and up-to-date engineer
Unless Hamilton is recalled, Conk-
lnR will remain as attorney for tive
