DRY AMENDMENT
Up TO CONGRESS
Proposal for National Prohibi-
ton Favorably Reported by
House Committee.
DODGE SUFFRAGE ISSUE

Washington. Dec. l4-The pro-
posed national prohibition amendment
was today ordere favorably reported
to the house by the Judiciary commit
tee by vote OF Il to l,
The proposed universal suffrage
amendment was ordered reported
without recommendation. The vote
on the suffrage proposal was II to 8.
The resolution by Representative
Baker would submit the several Susan
B. Anthony amendments to the states.
Chairman Webb of the committee
said he would not ask for rule on
the prohibition resolution until after
the Christmas recess. He will not
ask for any action on the suffrage
proposal. Representative Gard OF
Ohio, who has been opposed to sui
frage, was chosen to report it. Rep
resentative Carlin OF Virginia will
report the prohibition proposal.
Expect to Beat Suffrage.
The reporting of the suffrage pro-
posal was due to the belief OF some
OF its opponents that it can be beaten
on the floor and they thought it best
TO settle the issue by bringing it to a
direct vote in the house.
An effort was made to couple it in
A. ..1t.ser ar ,,ne dana NJ tba lact
session OF congress and which re-
suited in both proposals being kept
in the committee and consideration
of them postponed indefinitely. The
committee by large ma ority, how
ever, voted not to do so.
The reporting Of the suffrage
amendment was a surprise to its sup
porters. The designation OF Repre-
sentative Walsh OF Massachusetts,, an
anti suffragist, to succeed Representa-
tive of Moss OF West Virginia as a
member OF the committee a few days
ago was generally believed by many
suffrage leaders TO have dealt death
blow to their chances OF having any
sort OF suffrage resolution reported
this year.

Notes from Newman Grove.

Newman Grove, Neb., Dec. a.
Especial. 1.-The matter Of getting
mail into this town is still a very
serious question. Mail that is sup
posed to reach here at Ass in the
evening is usually too late to be
worked the same day, and the result
is that quite often papers are day
old. The service was excellent dur
ing the time last summer when the
second passenger train was operated
on this line, and since that time the
arrival of mail is decidedly uncertain.
The new Farmers Union Cooper
alive store building is nearing COM
pletion and will be one of the finest
in town. The building is a two-story
brick and will cost about $4,000.
The r.mbers of the Tri-County
Community club gave a E O'Clock
supper to the wives last Monday
evening. Over 100 people were
served. A fine program of music
and short talks were also given.

HANDMADE LACES
FOR LINGERIE

Those who have mastered the art OF
crocheting or the making OF tatting
find themselves able to make many
beautiful things for personal wear and
for the adornment OF their homes. The
tatting edgings are prettier than fine
handmade cluny or flet laces that are
sxtravagantly high In price, and are
used for the same purposes. The great
advantage in using hand crochet or
tatting in lingerie or for table decora-
tions lies in their durability. These
handmade laces last for years and
may be made up with linen with the
certainty that they will probably out.
