| WASHINGTON, August 1.-two
great armies of women suffrage ad-
vocates are mobilizing their forces
| for votes for women" The one, the
Congressional Union, with national
headquarters in Washington, is ap-
pealing to Congress for the adop-
ton of the resolution providing for
the submission of the Susan B. An
thony amendment to remove from the
ballot the qualification of sex, and the
other. the National American Woman
Suffrage Association, is laboring for a
second Federal amendment proposing
the initiative and referendum for the
states on the question Of woman suf-
frage. The national organization has
its central office in New York.
The Susan B. Anthony amendment
which will be introduced in Congress
next December. provides "U The
right of citizens of the United States
to vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States or by any state
on account of sex.
"(2) Congress shall have power, by
appropriate legislation, to enforce the
provisions of this article"
The Washington Office of the Con-
gressional Union is at present en-
gagged in a nationwide campaign to
demonstrate that there is a strong and
widespread demand for the Federal
amendment. Miss Alice Paul. chair
man of the executive committee of the
union, is directing the field work
from various points of vantage, while
Miss Lucy Burns, vice-chairman, is in
command here.
Congressman VIII Be Asked.
1t is the purpose of the Congression-
al Union leaders: O To have each
and every congressman visited by a
deputation made up from his own con-
stituents, and urged to support the An
thony amendment.
90 To have grand rally of wo-
men voters at San Francisco Septem-
ber IA, Is and 16, to adopt resolutions
and arrange a programme for the
work of women voters after Congress
meets.
80 To have the greatest demonstra-
ton of women in Washington, the first
week of the next Congress, ever seen
in America.
To these important ends the Con-
gressional Union is directing all of its
energies.
Our plans have been carefully
worked out, and are now being exc
cuted," said Miss Burns today. 'We
have already sent deputations to Sem
ator OGorman and Representative
Hustled of New York; Representative
Linthicum, Coady and Talbot of
Maryland; Holland and Montague of

SUFEAGISIS PLAN APPEAL
TO CONGRESS IN NDECE1IBER

Virginia; Hill, Tilson and Oakley of
Connecticut and others.
For Definite Political Action.
I'VE will have delegations call on
every man in Congress before Con-
gress meets in December. Our aim is
to convince members of the Senate and
House that women of their own states
are in earnest in their efforts to secure
square deal at the polls.
"At the convention of women voters
in California in the fall, We will make
plans for definite political action on
the part of the women voters in sup
port of the national suffrage amend
ment. We expect about 1000 women
at the San Francisco conference. That
will be the largest and most important
body of women voters ever assembled.
From California, the suffragists
will work east. everybody heading for
Washington, where 5000 women will
gather for a demonstration before
Congress. Every woman will bring
petitions.
December 6, the day Congress con-
venes, the Congressional Union will
meet the visiting suffragists at the
union station and other convenient
places and escort them to the capitol.
The swarm of woman suffrage work
ers that arrive here that day will fill
the city. They will come by train, au-
tomobile and wagon. Some of them
will make the trip from Western
states in automobiles.
Pageant to Susan b. Anthony.
That day we will march to the
Capitol, present our petitions and see
that friends of the cause introduce the
Anthony amendment. the proposition
We will support.
"A big convention will be held in
Convention Hall that week There the
thousands of suffrage pilgrams will be
welcomed and greeted by enthusiastic
speakers.
Sunday of that week a mass meet
ing will be held in the Belasco the
atre, and on the Monday following
will come the pageant to Susan B. An
thony.
Social features of the December
foregathering of suffragists will be a
banquet, a reception and a suffrage
ball"
''We are gaining ground in every
state in the Union" said Miss Alice
Paul, today. People are paying care
full attention to what We have to say.
Our visits to Congressman are proving
extremely valuable.
Everything We do this summer and
fall leads up to the big demonstration
in Washington in December. then We
well drive home our argument for the
federal amendment"

THE FAIR AND THE CHILDREN.

Children at the Boone County Fair
have better time this year than they
have had at most fairs in the past.
Yesterday, all who had tickets, which
the county superintendent gave out
free to school children who applied,
were admitted to the fairgrounds
free
Today are the contests in sewing.
canning, tomato growing, bread bak-
ing, live stock and poultry judging.
The boys and girls clubs have many
ertries, and are showing an increased
interest i'm the exhibits
Friday, too, all children under IA
years old will be admitted free.
Some day children will be grown
ups.
What they learn to do and to enjoy
now will determine largely what they
will do in later life. If they become
boosters for the county fair now, and
all the good things it stands for, they
will boost effectively for future fairs.

HERE'S HOW NOT TO TOE In.

From the New York World: If Po-
lice Commissioner Woods and his de-
partment surgeons meet success in a
plan they have just adopted. the New
York bluecoat of the future can new
er be known as a "fiattie." He has
borne that slurring epithet for years
because of the shape of his feet.
But the surgeons are going to "fix
his feet''-not in the slang meaning
of that term, but literally. The de-
partment issued a booklet recently
telling how the dread ailment of fiat
foot may be prevented in young pO-
licemen and how it may be relieved, if
not entirely cured, in those whom it
has already visited.
The most important one is "Toe in, -
The next most important is "Exer-
cisel" Following are some of the ex-
ercises prescribed for the policemen: ::
Stand with bare feet on a firm
level surface with the toes pointin (
inward Rise as far as possible on
the toes and stand so for half min
ute. Then slowly lower the heels.
Repeat for five minutes.
Raise the heels one inch from the
ground and walk on toes and ball of
foot without bringing the heel down
at all. as if the heel were painful.
Do this for one hundred yards or so
frequently. This may be done on the
street
Stand with feet parallel and six
inches apart Raise the inner side of
foot, throwing weight on the outer
border. Repeat fifty times.
Stand erect, with feet wide apart
Raise one off the ground and balance
weight of body on the other. throwing
the weight as much as possible upon
the outer border This causes the
toes to grip the ground

What's S in a Number?


Ledger: If Shakespeare had asked
whats in a NUMBER" as well as
whats in a name?" and pursued that
inquiry he would have found an end
less field for investigation. There is
something uncanny and mysterious in
the character of figures, the strange
things you can do with them and the
way certain attributes recur in their
use.
The numbers 8, Z and 9 furnish the
most interesting study. Numbers )
and I have their good points, but in
potency and versatility they have to
take a back seat when has the stage.
/ No. was the favorite in the Bible. To
it we are indebted for seven days in
the week. the seven golden candle
sticks, the seven lean years that de-
voured the seven fat ones and the sew
en- lean cattle that made a meal of
the seven fat kline.
The Rule of Three is a nightmare
in every child's education. AS his edu-
cation progresses he becomes ac-
quainted with the Three Graces.
Three Men in a Boat" "The Three
Musketeers." It's on the ball field,
though, that number 3 shines. Here
find the three basemen, the three out
fielders, three strikes and three outs.
And pursuing this line of reckoning
shouldn't a man get his base on three
balls instead of four? Then. there
are such trivial things as three meals
day. the third degree, the three es-
tates and three cheers.
But you can't begin to manipulate
3 and as you can 8. Take the null
tiplication table for example. Every
where the product of 9 results in a 8.
1t doesn't make any difference what
you multiply with or how many times
you repeat or change the figures. Just
try it. Multiply by and you get
is. Add | and and there you have
g. Multiply by 9 and you have 27.
Again 2 plus equals 8. There is no
variation until you multiply 8 by IL.
This gives you SO and apparently an
inconsistency. But add the two digits
9 and 9 and you get IS, and again
plus equals 8. This process may be
carried out to an Understandable
length and the results are always the
same. Pick out any number at ran
DOM For example. 1868. Multiply it
by and you get 41,067. Add the digits
and you have IS, and these digits
again and 9 reappears.
Now try another. Take any row of
figures at random, reverse their or
der and subtract the less from the
greater. Always the total will be
either 8 or a multiple of 9. For ex-
ample, take 3,459, which reversed
reads 9,543. Subtract 3,459 from 81
453 and you have 6,0S4. Add the dig
it's and the result is IS. multiple of
8. The same result follows. no mat
ter whether the numbers are raised by
squares or by cubes.
Here is another way by which the
number 9 exerts it's strange powers.
Write down at random any number,
add it's digits and then subtract the
sum of these digits from the original
number The sum of the digits thus
obtained will always be either 9 or a
multiple of 3. Thus take 1925. Ad-
ding the digits given II. Subtracting
II from 1926 leaves 1908. Add the
digits and you get IS, and adding ]
and gives 8.

until 1897, hard times hit this sec

where they had attended the Ma
tional Association of Mutual In
surance Companies being held at
the West hotel. Some very good
talks were listened to by over
400 delegates and Mr.. Peterson
deputy Insurance Commission Of
Minnesota had the following to
say in part: "Mutual companies
are most successful in q small
territory, because there every
policyholder may be known to
the officers. Those who are un.
trustworthy or not financially
responsible may be excluded.
An expensive insurance sales
agency becomes unnecessary
because every member of the
company is a booster and is
able to reach others whom he
would interest.
"By contining it's operation to
one line of busines, mutual in
surance company may figure
more accurately the hazards of
that business and may be come
more familiar with the conditions
which govern it.

Our City Schools to open Monday
September 9th

| The teachers of the schools have
been notified that school opens on
September 9th, and it seems likely
| that all will be on hand and ready for
work at that time. With the exception
OF the first and seventh grades all
ast years teachers will be in their
places for this year. Misses Kribbs
and Wells resigned early in the sum
mer and Miss Mabe Healey was elect

Miss Hazel Maxfield to the first grade.
At least three Of the teachers have
attended the Panama-Pacitie, viz.
Miss Leavitt, Miss Maxfeld and Miss
Goddard, principal OF the High

| up promptly after the opening. This
work will be elective in the high
school, but will be required of all
| boys in a number Of the grade rooms.
| Mr.. A. +. Berg Of the Stout Institute
Of Menomonle, Wise. will have the
manual training work.
Pupils in the high school who may
have some question abouttheir courses
