Two May Day Ideas for
Suffrapists.

Iowa and Pennsyivania are going to
celebrate May 1. The Iowa women are
planning a widespread distribution OF
nosegays and boutonnieres to their men
friends. with merely the card. vote for
the Suffrage Amendment" inside for
Identification. These will be largely jon
quils and other yellow flowers. and
when It Is not feasible to have flowers
there will be flower postal cards and
May day greetings.
The Pennsylvania women are to vary
the plan little by sending May baskets
to all their neighbors and friends. In
the smaller towns Of the State. there will
be Mayins parties. who will bring back
their blossoms and distribute them to
small boys. old ladies. and voting men
alike.
