The Missionary Society M. E.
Church, Okolona, was very
pleasantly entertained May LIST,
by Mrs. DIR. Morgan.
The usual order was carried
out more hurriedly than at for
mer times as a good many pc
rents were connected through
their children with the MAY
day" festival which was due to
open at 5 o'clock p. m.
The leading or most vital
points touched were startling dis
closures introduced by Mrs. A.
S. Miller, concerning the Japa-
nese especially those on the
Pacific Coast.
Mrs. Harbour's interesting
account of "their@yisits to Troy
and Centre Grove north of Shan
non. We know these problems
on which she dwelt then and at
other times are all too true.
o, Lord make US as Children
of Light" wiser in our genera
ton than are the Children OF
this World" in theirs. In other
words give us the knowledge,
the ability and the great burning
desire to do all the good too for
our fellowman that is possible
for poor feeble mortals to do.
Due to Mrs. Clark's absence
and Mr.. ,Fitzgerald's withdrawal
and other circumstances the de-
on Preparedness will take place
on Thursday evening May 4th,
instead of Friday the 9Th with
Mrs Allen and Mr.. Wood on the
affirmative and Mrs. DR.. Keller
and Mr.. West on the negative.
To be at the Star Theatre.
Choice refreshments were
then served and most vital of all
a touching appeal from our pas;
tor who was present that every
member of the Society pray for
the meeting which would begin
at the M. E. Church 3rd Sunday
in June by the Pastor assisted by
Rev. ]. w. Bell.
Mrs. Dottery.

"HAVE ALWAYS BEEN

keiterates Statements Against
Pork Barrel and Rivers and

Butte, Mont, Aug. t12.-Charles E.
Hughes, addressing an audience in
! the ball park here today, renewed his
declarations of conviction and cOntin-
ued his attacks on the administration
for its foreign and Mexican policies,
it's appointments and it's tariff views.
"The Democratic party" the nomi.
nee said, always has been party of
opposition to progress.
There has not been great national
movement in response to national
demand that has not had to run over
the PROSTATE form of the Democratic
party"
Again Scores Administration.
The nominee scored the administra.
ton for what he called failure to carry
out it's party platform, notably the
planks in the 1912 platform declaring
for the maintenance Of American
rights abroad.
"This administration in the first in
stance organized it state department"
Mr.. Hughes said, $50 as to reduce it's
potency 25 per cent in the eyes of the
world"

a spectacle of shocking waste"
'And it will continue" he said, "un.

hand and come before the American
people and say: Here / stand for

"Until that time comes we still will
have to get along in haphazard way.
For the nineteenth century that might
have done, but it won't do for the
twentieth"
Leaves For Spokane.
Mr.. Hughes left here at 7:45 p. m.
for Spokane, where he will spend to-
morrow. resting. Reviewing the first
week of his campaign, the nominee
issued statement saying he was
much gratified by the receptions Civ
en- him and that he expected much
support in the northwest. The hoarse-
ness which bothered him for a day or
two left him and he said he felt better
at the present time than at any time
since his nomination.
Before leaving Butte, Mr.. Hughes
went 5000 feet underground to one
of the big copper mines here, where
he spent an hour inspecting the work
ings of the mine.

AFTERMATH OF
LONG LITIGATION
Trespass Is Grounds on Which
Damage Plea Is
Based.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 12.-President
E. F.Ladd of North Dakota Agricul-
tural college was served with papers
in a 100000 damage action, launch
ed by the Calumet Baking Powder
company of Chicago, yesterday, while
he was in Chicago. ...
"Trespass" is the plea on which
the big suit is started, and grows out
Of President Ladd's fight on the sale
of Calumet products in North Dakota,
which terminated recently in the fed
eral court with decision that gave
the company power to sell in this
state, but barred the use of certain
tests to promote it's sale.
The Calumet cOmpany's suit
against Ladd was started in federal
court in Chicago. Ladd was passing
through that city, when the papers
We're served on him.
Ladd for long time barred the
sale of Calumet in the state because
of the addition Of albumen to the
powder. 1t was contended this was
added to make the so-called water
glass test. The federal courts hold
that the so-called water glass test
shall not be used for the purpose of
advertising Calumet products, in, that
it Is -aimed*to set up a false Standard
as compared with other powders,
when, as matter of fact, the addi-
tion of albumen does not in any man
ner improve the products.

OUTLINES POSITION
ON EQUAL SUFFRAGE
President Wilson Sends Letter
Containing His Views to Dem
ocratic Club.

Denver, Aug. 12.-President Wilson
outlined his position on equal suffrage
for women in letter to the Jane JEFF
ferson Democratic club, woman's or.
ganization, and made public tonight
at an annual banquet.
"One Of the strongest forces behind
equal suffrage sentiment of the coun-
try" says the president, "is the now
demonstrated fact that in equal suf-
frage states women interest them.
selves in public questions, study them
and divide, as men do, concerning
them" Referring to advocates of
state, and national action on suffrage,
the letter continues:
'Both great political parties of the
nation have in their recent platforms
favored the extension of suffrage to
women through state action, and / do
not see how their candidates can con-
sistently disregard these official de-
clarations. I shall endeavor to make
the declaration of party in this mat
ter effectual by every influence that
I can properly and legitimately exer.
cise.'

FEELING OF APPREHENSION
is GREATLY RELIEVED

Washington, Aug. 12.-Notice from
Special Agent Rogers at Mexico City
to the state department today that
the recent Carranza decree prohibit
ing foreign stockholders in Mexican
corporations from claiming the pro-
lection of their home government was
not retroactive, served to relieve in a
measure the feeling of apprehension
created by earlier reports.
Mr.. Rogers reported that the de-
cree was intended to apply to corpor-
ations hereafter formed and appar-
emily it will not affect the existing
big American and other foreign oil
and mining companies. Thus, de-
partment officials see no urgent ne
cessity for Immediate protest.
It is known that Carranza paved
the way for the decree by negotiation
with nearly all governments of South
and Central America. Just what were
