cry man in Iowa should ask himself
the question, who am ~ Because
every evil force is against it." Mr..
Sims argued that every home-loving
man in the state should hurry to the
polls on the morning of June 5th to
vote Eyes" on woman suffrage. Every
man with red blood in his veins should
vote right on this question. If wo-
man disobeys law which she has had
no voice in making she must submit
to trial before a jury of men. She
must also be taxed without voice in
imposing such levy, 1t is no longer
an argument that women are ignorant,
for they are studying and in this they
are outstripping men. Woman, the
speaker said, wants the ballot and has
been kept out of her right only be-
cause of mans superiority in brute
force alone.
Mr.. Sims spoke Of the spirit of the
west. Women now vote in all the
western states and all the great states
men of the nation favor equal suffrage.
In closing Mr.. Sims presented the
following resolution, which was unani-

Why YOU ARE NERVOUS

Z The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is decl.n-

alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep. irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown. :
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul'
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutrimeut gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cclls while
the whole system responds to its refresh

Dow City, Feb. 22-Special-
A tragic ending of two young lives
came last week when Florence Bokhart
administered poison to her little son
and then took a dose Of the same drug
herself. She was working at the
Glasscock home in Gallands Grove
keeping house while Mrs., Glasscock
taught school. On the eventful day
Mrs. Glasscock had occasion to re.
turn home at noon and found both
dead in bed. Miss Bokhart was about
"a years of age. She had worked in
two or three homes in this community
in the past year and is kindly remem-
bered by those with whom she became
acquainted. Two or three years ago
she became the victim OF young man
at Dunlap. who left her to the merci-
less world. She left a note saying
her troubles were too great for her
to bear longer. She was one of the
waits brought out from New York City
several years ago and thus had no
relatives except brother who works
near Dunlap. The case is sad indeed
and all who knew her feel sad that
her young life must end in such way

WHY hRDM0RE
CANNOT GET
CONVENTIONS
AT PRESENT HAS NOTHING TO
OFFER - NEXT MEETING OF
FEDERATION OF LABOR GOES
TO McALESTER.

AT the recent meeting Of the State
Federation of Labor at Tulsa, Ard
more was suggested as the place for
holding the next annual meeting. but
Ardmore did not succeed for two req.
sons. First, there is not an adequate
hall in the city where a convention
of this size could be held: and sec
ondly, the hotel accommodations in
this city have been notorious through
out the state, and large conventions
are not likely to be held in cities
where these two most essential fea-
lures are lacking.
Plans are well under way for both
a hotel and convention hall, but until
both are erected 1t is idle to dream
that Ardmore will be able to secure
conventions of any sort Several
could have been held here the past
year lad the necessary accommoda-
tions been available, but were taken
to other cities that possess the very
things that Ardmore lacks"
The above, expressed by a promi.
nent union labor man of this city,
who attended the convention, about
expresses all there is TO say about
the matter. Ardmore has not the
essentials at present to attract con-
ventions, but a new hotel is practi-
cally assured and the mayor, heading
n committee of business men. are
even now making investigations in
Missouri and Kansas, and will report
on their findings this week.
The funds are available for the
convention hall. the site has been pur-
chased and bonds voted. and as soon
as the committee returns plans VIII
be drawn and bids asked for Just
when work on the now hotel will
begin has not been announced, but IL
has been reported that one or two
large construction companies are
ready TO submit plans and bids.
