SUFFRAGE WOMEN
WORKING FOR LOVE
Running Great State Campaign
With More Faith Than
Funds In Treasury

The whole history Of the equal
suffrage movement is a story OF deVo-
ton and of sacrifice. From us
earliest inception those who have ad-
vanced the cause have spent their
time, many of them their lives, ana
all of them of their slender finances.
They have always been hampered IN
finances. Theirs Is usually the unre-
munerative labor, so that their aoll-
ity to finance statewide campaigns
has been limited.
Not the least interesting chapter
in the history will be that devoted
to the West Virginia campaign Oh
1915. Though hampered by lack OF
funds the state organization, with
Headquarters at Morgantown, is &C
complishing wonders. The West Vir'
ginia Suffrage Association Is compos'
ed entirely of volunteers. The state
officers are giving every moment Of
their waking hours to the campaign
for the pending amendment. Many OF
them are working from 5 o'clock In
the morning till midnight with no
thought of compensation. Not one OF
them is receiving a penny Of salary.
Not one of them wants cent. Their
hearts are in the work and they will
labor thus till the Ides Of November.
But this is a practical age. 1t
takes money to run campaigns, even
when the managers are volunteers.
Rent, expenses Of speakers and OF
public meetings, printers bills, trans.
portation and postage expenses ac-
cumulate with rapidity and certainty.
The associations campaign fund Is
always pitiably small. Sometimes 1t
approaches the vanishing point. AL
ways It is made up of the contribu-
tions Of the women and their friends.
The success of the amendment de-
ponds upon the work Of the next two
months.
It is time the men OF West Virginia
came to the rescue.
West Virginia men who have had eI-
perience in the old parties know what
it costs to maintain an organization
In 55 counties They know what 1t
costs to maintain headquarters and
a speakers bureau They know what
a newspaper spreading of propaganda
costs. Whether they are for or
against the amendment they know
that It Is the fair thing that the wom-
ems side shall be heard and settled
at the polls on the showing made by
these women. Women cannot make
their side known without adequate
funds. The fair-minded men Of West
Virginia, those who admire a game
fight, those with sporting blood in
their veins, must see that the treas
ury of the state organization is not
allowed to languist

How Bees Find Their Way.

About year ago, OF August 10Th, The
Youths Companion printed an extract
from an article by the French naturalist,
Henri Fabre, that described some ex-
perimentS made by Darwin and himself
in the hope OF arriving at some explain
alton OF the homing instincts OF honey
bees. They did not learn the secret,
although they found that about third OF
the bees they used in experiment would
return to the hive in spite OF every effort
10 confuse and mislead them. A CORE
spondent OF The Companion who read
the extract with interest has written thus
concerning the matter:
The usual range of flight OF bees is
about two miles from the hive in any
direction over land. II is not very sur
priSing, then, 10 learn that bees find their
way home over territory with which they
had been previously familiar, even
though attempts had been made TO confuse
them.
Lubbock, a scientist Of lesser note, took
some bees from hive near the Seashore
and liberated them at sea at distance
much less than their usual range OF flight.
Not bee returned. The inference is
that their failure was due TO lack OF
visual landmarks TO guide them. On the
other hand, Bethe, German scientist, in
a series OF box experiments, " endeavor-
ed to show that the homing instinct is
really an instinct 10 which the bee re-
spends Involuntary. He carried num-
Der OF bees some distance from the hive
in a box and liberated them. They flew
straight up in the air, and after time
dropped back on the box. When he
moved the box only few inches TO one
side during the flight OF the bees, they
dropped back 10 the precise spot where
il had been. IL bees were guided by
vision they could easily have seen the
box in its new location.
II seems that bees are not guided home
by memory of particular objects but by
memory of locality. Every beekeeper
knows that if he raises or lowers his hive
a Single inch if will take the bees several
hours to find the entrance again. They
have the power OF accurately measuring
height above ground, and will hover
round trying to enter at the former height
of the entrance. The phenomenon seems
very complicated, but it will doubtless be
explained when the difference existing
between the perception OF compound eyes
and that OF our own is understood.

Pending Suffrage Amendment
ar Polls

The recent Democratic State con-

Its leaders were men who have a
keen respect for the wishes of the
women of West Virginia. The plat
form committee recommended by a
vote of 10 to that the pending suf-
frage amendment be endorsed, A mi
norlty report opposed such plank.
The convention rejected the minority
report without division on the
floor
The plank as adopted reads:
The woman suffrage amendment
has been submitted to the people, and,
while this convention has no power to
bind the individual voter, it expresses
its conviction that the amendment
should be ratified"

To lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" care they truthful ? "
"Why do women write such letters ? "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands OF women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia b. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some OF
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
