VISIT TO PARENTS
DELAYSD.

Mrs. G. H. Bumpus and her daugh-
ters, Ruby and Ruth, of Conneaut,
Ohio, reached Pensacola Tuesday eve
ming after delay of seven days ON
the road. Two days and nights were
spent in Montgomery, one in Ever
green, another in Brewton, at which
place they took launch to McDavid,
where they spent another night, tax
ing another launch from that place to
Moline. There they started for PEN
sacola in an automobile, which broke
down two miles south of Roberts.
This made several hours delay before
they could get car from Pensacola
to finish the trip. This trip was made
in the rain. Mrs. Bumpus made the
trip to Pensacola to assist in the care
of her mother, Mrs E. R. Ward, who
has been an invalid for the past three
eyars.

WOMAN'S PART IN CAMPAIGN
TO BE DISCUSSED.

Washington, July 13.--The much
discussed question as to what part

tional convention of the association.
For this reason the national associa-
ton will break all former presidents

three months earlier than is custom
airy, meeting at Atlantic City from
September 6 to September IL, inclu-
sive. Last year the convention was

dent of the national association, ac-
companied by Miss Hannah Patter-
son, the national corresponding sec
rotary, came to Washington in the
interest of the suffrage legislation.

sing, chairman of the national con-
gressional committee, and Miss Mary
Garrett Hay, vice chairman, they
presented to the senator's of the west
ern suffrage states a request on be-
half of the national association for
a vote on the suffrage resolution al
this session of congress. The con-
census of opinion was that this would
be secured and suffrage senators
proffered definite help.
Steps will also be taken to get the
resolution out of the house judiciary
committee. As congress is not ex.
pected to adjourn before August 20

THE BUSINESS WOMAN AND HER ASSETS

inside of the Blue Back speller or its
modern equivalent.
The girl who goes out into the
world looking forward to a successful
career, must have more than ambition
to win. She must have more than
determination, and more, even, than
natural fitness and training for the
position she seeks. All of these are
necessary qualifications, but there are
ether essentials TO a business career.
A great many girls are drawing
each week barely enough to keep body
and soul together, who, if they would
apply few simple rules to their
work would at least be earning a liy-
ing wage.

school education, that you are a

There are eight million wage-earn-
ing women in the United States to-
day, and their number is rapidly in
creasing.
There are many reasons for this,
chief of which is the necessity which
compels most of these women to go
out into the world and fight for a
living. For it is fight, and every
year competition is getting keener
and the inefficient are pressed closer
and closer to the wall, while the wom-
an who is fitted for the struggle goes
forward and carves her way to COM
potency and happiness.
To the young girl who is, perhaps,
just out of the school room, and
looking forward with eagerness to a
career, there is much to learn. Life
seems to hold out so much of prom
Use, and her seeking eyes vision oppor-
tunity waiting on her, and good for
tune her handmade,
There is nothing so pitiful as the
crude, inexperienced outlook on life
of the average young, ambitious girl.
Each year the business colleges turn
out thousands of her to enter the
lists of the commercial world. Each
year other thousands go out from the
home to take an unequal part in the
struggle for livelihood, untaught of
the world, and unframed in any meth
OF by which to make living wage.
There are perhaps, more incompe-
tents turned out from the average
business college than any other place
in the world.
The girl who is best fitted to earn
her living, unless she has been care
fully and specially trained for some
line of work, is the girl who has had a
good high school, or even grammar
school education. For it is the foun-
datlon which counts more than any
thing else in the business world.
Other things may be acquired by the
quick-witted, but reading, writing
and arithmetic, and the simpler rules
| OF grammar, viii do more to fit q
young woman for her battle with the
world than all the business courses
without these foundations.
1t may be said that all business
colleges give class work to fit the stu
dent for a business life. And yet GO
into any business office and ask about

you will hear stories of business

REQUIEM FOR JUNE

Sleep soft, dear heart, where the bird

Carol above thy rest;
Free blows the odor-laden wind
Over thy peaceful breast.
Great were thy thoughts-keen, thy
ardent pen
Voiced wrongs Of all mankind,
Striving high with dullard brains Of
men
Who, seeing, yet were blind.
Now, champion bold of all oppressed,
Stilled is thy golden heart;
Free was thy lance-wrongs by thee
redressed
Make, of thy fame, part.
Silenced are thy stirring words, that
burned
Kindling from soul to soul
Now ranged with lofty lessons learned

Sleep sweet, great heart, where glad

Decade-Speakers Are
Coming.

At a meeting of the committee
or arrangements for the big Fourth
CT July barbecue, held Tuesday night
at the the Guaranty State Bank. it
was decided that not less than fifty
head of cattle, sheep, goats and
hogs would feed the multitude that
would throng Chautauqua park

ard something like 200 hens have
already been promised, and Chair

ether contributions and inviting the
people to come to the big barbecue.
Bids will be received tonight for the
supply of meat that will not be

Advices received from every Sec
ton of the county say the people
are coming in great numbers. 1t is
to be a fitting celebration of the

cations are that 10000 people VIII

cannig club girls and the pig club

too, will give an excellent program
We are not yet able to announce
these programs in full. but the fact
