on September 20, u and %, promises
to be one of unusual interest to both
the public and the members. For the
/ first time since organization the con-

they are coming here this year
There are more than 100 members
! in the association, with Mrs. DIR.
George Launsderry, of Charleston,
president, and Mrs. DR.. ]. r. Billiard

the most brilliant women of the pro-
| fession within the state.
The meetings are to be held in the
parish house of the Episcopal church,
and with the exception of the Dusi-
ness session, will be open to the pub
lie, and addresses of general interest,
and valuable instruction upon skilled
Nursing and care of the sick will be
given by prominent men and women
of the medical and nursing profess
sions.

liyered by Mayor p. w Letter, and an
address on "The Soul of Nursing,
by Rev. r. l. Wright, lately superin-
| tendent of the Maryland General Hos

performances illustrating Red Cross

dition to these pictures, which are con
troled by the association, Manager
Irons is arranging a program of unus
ual attractions. The three days of the
convention will give rare opportuni
ty to our people to acquire a most
intimate knowledge of the profession
of nursing, now recognized throughout
the world as second in importance
only to that of the physician, and il
is hoped that the meeting will be
largely attended.

.SUFFRAC|STS GATHER
IN ATLANTIC CITY
Where They Will Determine the At
titude Of Their Party in Coming
Campaign
(By United Press.)


ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 6-Hundreds
OF the nations most prominent suf-
fragists came here today to decide
what attitude to take toward the Re
publicans and Democrats in the presi-
dental compaign
The National American Woman Suf-
gency convention and invited both
Hughes and Wilson to address it.
There is some indication that, even
though the convention may not declare
positively in favor of Mr.. Hughes, the
bulk OF the memberships influence
may be swung to him because he has
declared in favor of the passage of
the Susan B., Anthony federal amend
ment granting national suffrage, while
Mr.. Wilson has not.
The convention will last four days.
Today will be given over to a
three cornered debate in which each
suffrage leader will give her view
Of the situation in ten minute talk
They will discuss whether the mem
bers should stop working for a feder
al amendment and seek state legis
lation, or stop state work and con
centrate on the federal amendment, OF
work for both, as they have done.
These arguments will be led by
Miss Laura Lay Of Kentucky, Miss
1 Kate Gorgon of Louisiana, Mrs. Ida
Hustled Harper Mrs. Glendower Ev
ans Of Massachusetts, Mrs. Raymond
Brown of New York, Miss Florence
| Allen of Ohio.
Tonight there will be a reception tc
the delegates by the local association
and the Woman Suffrage association
of New Jersey.

WILL HAVE A BIG TIME
THERE JULY t2.
LARGE ATTENDANCE IS ASSURED

Friday, July 81 That is the day
and Straw is the place set for the pic
Eic OF the Central Montana Odd Eel
llOWs' association. Hard work has
been put in on this first annual picnic
of the association, which covers the
Basin, Harlotwon and Roundup and
the territory tributary to these towns.
Shtraw has been selected for the rea
son of its railroad facilities, and these
include the Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st.
Paul road and the Burlington, which
runs nearby. An effort is being made
to have the trains on the last named
road stop on this day at ii point near
est the picnic grounds and that the
request will be granted is almost a
foregone conclusion. Some of the
best and most able speakers OF the
day will address those present and
sports of various kinds, including
races and ball games, will make up
the program and last, but not least,
music will be furnished. In fact,
everything possible will be done for
young and old ond all Odd Fellows,
their wives and their children and
also Rebekahs and friends of the fra
ternity are urged and invited to come.
This is the first picnic that the cen
tral association have organized and
il is hoped that hereafter the event
will become an annual affair. and the
plan is to hold ii at various places
that will be chosen from time to time.
The day will be OF immense benefit to
iraternalism, knitting, as it will, even
more firmly the individual lodges OF
Odd Fellowship closer and broadening
the spirit Of the order in more pra-
teal manner and in a way that should
and must insure further success in
the field. 1t is up to you to make
this day success and insure its repe-
tition in years to follow, and so re-
