Will Represent Children
Miss jeanette Rankin, republican
candidate for congress from Montana,
has in her platform pledge to repre-
sent the children of the nation and
another to work for the federal suf-
frage amendment She says that, II
elected, she intends to show congress
men that women know how to vote. 1t
was under Miss Rankin's leadership
that the equal suffrage referendum in
Montana in 1914 was carried to VIC
tory. Miss Rankin has always advo-
Gated the federal amendment. During
the winter of 1914 she did a great
deal of valuable lobbying in congress
for the bill. Miss Rankin also lobbied
for the suffrage amendment before
the Florida legislature, and her pleas
ing personality weighed much in Sc
curing the successful vote in the
house. The senate killed the resolu-

War Prices
When the manufacturers of cloths
told us that the price of the goods
must be advanced because the dyes
used in them had to be imported from
Germany, we believed them and paid
the advance in cost. But the paper
manufacturers noting the success of
the cloth manufacturers, raised the
price of paper on account of a sup
posed dye situation, and we have had
to pay the advance in price although
we knew that paper dyes are vege-
table and are manufactured in this
country. But why stop at paper :?
Every article consumed in the United
States has advanced in price mainly
because wages in the east and west
have advanced. And we of the south
are not making enough money to
meet the advancing prices of mer-
chandise.-Apalachicola Times.

that the shortage was due to the big

A YEAR WITH HARPER'S MAGAZINE

X/OUR profit, so to speak, on the years in- vestment is likely to amaze you. It is
 in the years contents that the clearest
 idea is obtained of the value of maga- zine-its quality and it's character. Measure Harper's Magazine for 1915 by this year-long yard-stick:
 There are 1944 pages of reading matter--the equivalent of 5000 book pages.
 The 12 numbers-each with at least 16O pages-show Harpers Magazine to be singular Science, History, Travel, Exploration and Humor.
 There are 799 illustrations-106 fullpage plates, 673 text illustrations-many in color.
 The illustrators are among the greatest of the present generation-Elizabeth Shippen Green W. Hatherell, R. T.: c. B. Chambers F. Walter Taylor; Walter King Stone; Anna Whelan Aylward; Walter Hale; Howard B. Smith, Peter Newell; John Alonzo Williams, and Henry Wolf, N. A., who was awarded the grand prize in etching and engraving at the Panama Pacific Exposition
 The two serials of 1915 are the two great novels of the year-Booth Tarkington's "The Turmoil and Basil Kings "The Side of the Angels'-since published in book form at $135 net each
 The 91 short stories-enough for volumes at $1.00 each-recognized as 'the best among the good" are by such authors as William Dean Howells Meredith Nicholson, Elizabeth Robins, Norman Duncan, May Sinclair, Richard Wash burn Child, Dorothy Garfield Katherine Fuller ton, Gerould, Alice Brown, Mary E. Wilkins, Wilbur D. Steele and Mary Heaton Worse.
 If the 55 poems wero collected in one beauti- full book. on it's title-page would be Alfred Moves. John Masefield, Richard Le Gallenne, Bliss Carmen, Robert Underwood Johnson and many others.
 The 50 illustrated articles on travel and ex- ploration, in book form, would make 3 or A. volume library of world travel and exploitation, and take you or wonderful voyage to the travelled and untraveled hooks and corners of the globe.

JUDGE O. R. HUNDLEY THINKS ROOSEVELT. WILL BE NOMINEE
Significance of Primaries Favorable to Bull MOOser in That the Delegates
 Were Uninstructed

The nomination of Colonel Roosevelt as the presidential candidate of the repub- lican and progressive parties is fore gone conclusion, according to Judge Oscar Hundey, who has been one of the leaders in the republican and progressive parties in the south for many years Judge Hundley points to the fact that a large number of the states are sending unin- structed delegations to the national re- publican convention as an augury of suc- cess for Roosevelt. The recent preference primary in Massachusetts, where there were no instructions, despite the candi- da1cy of favorite son. is one of the ar guments used by Judge Hundley in his statement. Incidentally Judge Hundley believes that Roosevelt will be the choice of reunited republican party at the Chicago convention, and he considered the election of the colonel a certainty
 Judge Hundley said "The only signifi- canoe I can find in the result of the re- publican primaries in Massachusetts, is that the delegates elected were not in- structed for a favorite son of that state, but will go to the national convention uninstructed. This situation is very favorable to the nomination of Roose- Welt. The candidates who ran asI Roosevelt men, and used Colonel Rooseevlts name in the campaign, did so over the protest of the colonel. I was furnished with copy of the correspond ence between Colonel Roosevelt and these candidates at the time they announced, and know this to be fact Among the delegates from the state at large; Il know personally at least one of them who would prefer Roosevelt to any other man, and will vote for him, unless local man should be placed in nomination for whom a complimentary vote might be cast. I believe the majority of the delegates from that state will finally be for Roosevelt, If not all of them. spoke in every im- portant city in Massachusetts in the pri- mary fight between Taft and Roosevelt in 1912, and afterwards in the general cleo tion, and believe the majority of the people of that state are for Roosevelt. The same situation is true in other states. Roosevelt forbade the use of his name in any election, and I regard the selection of uninstructed delegates as decidedly favorable to the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt believe his nomination by a united party at Chicago, as practically assured and of course I believe he will be elected if nominated by the republican and progressive conventions"
