President Wilson not to Endorse
Woman's Suffrage.

Washington, Aug. 14.-New
Jersey suffrage workers who
yesterday heard that President
Wilson was to indorse their
cause have bitter surprise
awaiting them.
Secretary to the President
Tumulty today declared that
the announcement made to the
suffragettes was misconstrued.
In place of saying that the
President would endorse the
cause, Secretary Tumulty said
he had written Mrs. f. F.. Fret
chart, president of the New Jer-
sey Equal Suffrage League, that
President Wilson would make
known his stand on the question
before referendum day. The
secretary made it plain that the
stand would not carry any in
dorsement.

-Four Millions Could bs Saved
Annually by Egg Buyers.

The trouble with the egg
handling business in Missouri il
the method employed in buying
eggs. With few exceptions eggs
are purchased from the farmer
just as they come-good, bad
and Indifferent, all at the same
price. Such a method is unjust.
1t returns to the producer of
good eggs less than his eggs are
worth and to the producer OF
poor eggs more than his eggs
are worth. Such condition Of
fers no encouragement to the
one and subsidies the other.
Estimates place the losses on
bad eggs at from three to four
millions annually in this state
alone. This means the Missouri
farmer is losing this year this
amount. He is losing it because
of the average low price paid
for his eggs due to the average
lOW Vudltly.
Before any improvement Of
these conditions can be made q
change must be brought about
in the system of buying eggs.
This has been done in some To-
calities in the following manner
and is recommended by Fl. l..
Kempster of the Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
The local buyer candles the
eggs, sorts out the bad ones
and pays for the good at high
err price. The egg buyer can af~
ford to pay 3 higher price it ne
knows that all the eggs are
good. While this has been prac-
ticed it has resulted in an in
crease of from three to five
cents dozen over what is being
paid in other communities. Bad
eggs cease to be produced when
there is no sale for them. This
means money in the farmers
pocket. He ought to insist that
the local egg dealers cooperate
and candle the eggs they buy.

Fort Sill Aviator Killed

Fort Sill, Okla, Aug. H.
Capt. George H.. Knox of the
First Aero Squadron, u. s. A.,
was killed and Lieutenant R. B.
Sutton, his aide, was probably
injured today when an aero
plane in which they were flying
fell five hundred feet.
The officers had feared that
the various currents of air exist
ing at and near the Wichita
Mountains might make aero
planning extremely dangerous
there. The squadron had just
been transferred here from Cali
fOrnia.
Lieutenant Sutton graduated
from West Point in 1913. and
was appointed to the aero
squadron at San Diego q year
ago. His brother, Lieutenant
Sutton, met his death at the An
napolis Naval Academy shortly
after his graduation in 1907, the
verdict Of the investigating com.
mittee being that he was ac-
|cidentally killed.

QUESTION CLEARED UP
Butler Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence

Again and again we have
read of strangers in distant
towns who have been cured by
this or that medicine. But But
ler's pertinent question has al
ways been HAS anyone here in
Butler been cured?" The word
of stranger living a hundred
miles away may be true, but it
cannot have the same weight
with us as the word of our own
citizens, whom we know and re-
spect, and whose evidence we
can so easily prove.
Mrs. j. T. Craven, 4O7 f. Da-
kota St., Butler, says: Four
years ago I suffered from kid
ney and bladder complaint. I
had. dull, heavy pains across the
small of my back and my head
ached. + used Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at Clay's Drug

sion that the European war and

SUBMARINES BUILT m
n q. 8. AID ALIMS'
Parts 81 Vessels shipped to
Montreal and then Assem-
blsd for Sea Duty.

Washington, d. g.. Aug. Is
An achievement of American in
-dnstry became known today jig
the story Of how the parts OF 10
submarines were constructed in
the plant of the Bethlehem Steel
Company, put together in ship
yards to Montreal, and how fin
ally the submarines crossed the
Atlantic under their own power
and are now doing duty in the
Dardanelles.
All this was accomplished in a
little more than four months
from the time the order for the
submarines was given. The sub.
marines are similar to the Oh
boats in the United States Navy.
The feat is largely attributed to
the industry and enterprise OF
Charles NJ. Schwab, head of the
Bethlehem Steel Company.
Incidently it became known
that William j. Bryan, as Score
tary of State, was fully cogni'
zant of the whole transaction
and ruled that it involved nc
violation of neutrality. Mr.
Bryan, however, did object ia
the company building subma
rines and sending them directly
from United States ports on
their warlike mission.
The boats are $50 feet long
and Is feet wide. They have
surface displacement Of 800 tons
and 430 tons submerged. Their
surface speed is IA IA knots anc
their submerged speed 10 knots
They were made after the de
signs of the Electric Boat Com
pany.

Silas N. Ebersole, a former
Dunkard minister, held for the
murder Of 15-year-old Hazel
Macklin in August, 1914, CON-
mitted suicide by hanging in the
county Jail this morning. Eber-
sole's body was found hanging
to the bars of his. cell by Turn
key r. G. Barkley..
The former preacher broke
off q small leadpipe from a dis
infectant apparatus in the hall
way near his cell and twisted it
about his neck and around the
bars of the cell over his head.
He had trussed himself with
towels and blankets so that in
his death struggles he would not
be able to release himself from
tie pipe.

PITY OLD PLYMOUTH!

Historic Plymouth bursts tortn
from her seclusion. Like dear old
lady in crinolines, with faint odor
Of lavender, she rustles her SILK
skirts, and rises to protest!
Plymouth is to be shown in motion
pictures. Bad enough in itself, but
the facts, the Plymouthians say, are
all wrong. Plymouth already has
writhed under satires Of that crowd
ed Mayfiower, which has been said
to have carried more folk over here,
if their descendants claims be rec
ognized, than the Imperator could
bring today. She has been worried
by tourists who disturbed the SOM
nolent quiet of her streets, the ir-
reverent have built hotels and now
want to bathe along her beach, SOU
venir hunters have Clipped pieces
from her most sacred tombstones:
and even the famous rock had to be
Gagged to be protected.
Now the motion pictures come on
top of that, as the last straw. Ira
dition states there were no horses
in the colony, while the film discloses
Samoset on a roam mare. The May
flower, on her first trip, did not get
to Plymouth at all, but halted at
Provincetown; and it had no wom-
en- on board. The "movie" man shows
the vessel blithely gliding up to Ply
mouth Rock with fair maidens
emerging from the hold. The pro-
ducer thought an Indian skirmish
would lend color to the film. but
overlooked that there were no Indian
skirmishes, because of the famous
peace treaty with the Indians in
1921.
All this comes, mind you, right
after Charles Francis Adams had
thrown bombs into the dearest spots
Of New England history, and tried
to shatter the most cherished tradi-
tions. No wonder Plymouth bustles
about in desperation! Soon some pry-
ing historian will drop a docu-
mentary bomb on Plymouth Rock it.
