ON BOTH SIDES OF FENCE
Ants Sending Out False State.
ments on Prohibition Ques-
ton in West Virginia

The organization opposed to equal
suffrage sends literature in dry coun'
ties In West Virginia which attempts
to prove that where women vote the
states invariably go wet" At the
same time this self same organization
n sending to wet counties pretended
statistics showing that these most
versatile women always vote dry" In
both Instances these facts" are wilful'
ly distorted. 1t Is true that all women
do not always vote dry" But 1t is a
fact that In FIVE suffrage states which
have voted on the prohibition ques-
ton in the past Is months four Of
them have gone dry and only one
went wet"
In 1914 California, Colorado, Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho submitted
the prohibition question to the voters.
In each state the women voted in
large numbers. Four of these states
voted dry" and only one-California
stayed in the wet column. But in
the Golden State there is most eff
fective local option law and at the
present moment AZ per cent of the ter
ritory is dry. Utah is also attacked
by these circulars for not prohibiting
liquor. Under her local option law
SO per cent of Utah is dry. At the
last local option election in Illinois
over 100 towns voted out liquor. The
number of dry towns and cities in Cal
ifornia has increased since the women
have voted from 200 to 6S2.

Do you think you are saving money
and being successful By remaining a
bachelor? If you do, read the Janu-
airy American Magazine and see what
"a writer says about the ratio between
married and single men. Part of 1t
Isl:
Show me one ntddle-aged bache-
4 or who has made success OF his
life, and Ill show you twenty-six
married men who have. Probably
the ratio is even greater thnn this.
but prefer to base my contention on
demonstrate fact OF the twenty
seven presidents OF the United States
only one lived and died bachelor.
Nfnteen Of them married before they
were thirty, five before they were
forty. and two after forty Yet. ac-.
.cording to the census returns, taking
the entire population Of the country
the proportion OF single men to those
married. widowed or divorced. is
about forty to sixty.

This is very tough weather on the
birds. They are unable to find food
and they will perish unless they arc
provided for. The farmer likes to hunt
occasionally as the records OF the
county clerk show in the Issuance OF
hunting licenses. and there are many
Town fellows who enjoy the sport The
state throws safeguards around the
birds but it has not provided them
food during such weather rs this. Just
a little grain will keep them alive
until the weather Is such that they can
hunt their own food The farmer GER
tainly would not miss the small
amount it would take to feed the birds
a short while. and fits sincerely hoped
he will not forget them.
