WOMEN FOR CONSUMPTION
Vote as Readily to Send Sons and
Sweethearts to War as do the
Male Voters.

Melbourn, Nov. 1.-The women of
Australia vote almost as readily to
send their sons and sweethearts to
war as did the male voters.
An analysis of incomplete returns
on the referendum of CONSUMPTION
shows that early reports that it was
defeated because of the women's vote
was untrue. While the percentage of
women voting against CONSUMPTION
was slightly larger than the men the
difference is not marked enough to
turn the tide.
The latest returns show $1,000
against CONSUMPTION with 300 pre-
sincts yet to be counted including
those of the men of the navy. who will
largely be in favor of CONSUMPTION
1t is not expected the army vote will
offset the anti-conscriptionalist's lead

Want New School House.

CenterviIle, Nov. Petitions are
in circulation asking the school board
to submit to a vote of the people at a
special election the proposition OF
building a new $150,000 high school
The one erected five years ago has al
ready been outgrown. 1t has in it this
year forty-flve more pupils than its
original capacity contemplated. Be
sides this the grades are all over
crowded in the four other buildings.
When the new high school is built
the grammar, school will be placed in
the present high school building. The
petitions are being generally signed
and it appears certain that special
election will be called early in Deem
Der.
The intention would be to let con

National Treasury Empty.

Washington, d. c., Nov. l. The
Treasury Of the United States is
practically bankrupt, Since Con
gress adjourned expenditures have
exceeded receipts over 100000
day. AT the close Of business last
Saturday night there was an actual
net balance in the gener hl fund of a
little less than $4,000, 900, and this
will be wiped out before the end of
the week.
On election day the Treasury will
be empty and the country facing a
daily deficit of over a million dollars.
AtIthis rate the deficit at the colse OF
the present fiscal year will reach the
enormous sum of over S300,00,000.
This will not be met by the new rev.
enue law, the highest estimate OF
revenue under which was $205, 000,-
600, and in the opinion of experts the
amount to be raised by the additional
taxes imposed by that law will fall
way short of these figures. SO that
the administration, besides carrying
out it's avowed purpose to issue $125,-
100000 of Panama Canal bonds to
supplement the additional taxes will
have to resort either to more taxes,
or more bonds. And 1t is doubtful

The actual present depleted condi.

wiping out altogether of the general
fund balance is not readily apparent

statement as published in the news
