1.-THE suffrage garden idea las be-
som 80 popular in West Virginia that
the seed market, in SO far as 1t ap"
niles to yellow flowers, Is liable TO be
scornered. In making this
sment at state headquarters at Morgan
town. Mrs. Ellis A. Yost, chairman OF
3tha state campaign committee, added
that her committee had several hou
packet Of seeds at It's disposal
witch would probably be enough TO
supply the demand in West virginia.
MIS- Yost said: when we launch
ed the suffrage garden project we
Thought it would he an easy matter
10 get all the seeds that would be need
ia! We forgot that the war IN Eu-
rome would decrease tho supply. me
feet was called to u attention by
our scotsman after he had filled our
hrst order for suffrage garden SEED
boxes. Fears regarding the decreas-
gedgsupply from abroad were soon found
sfofbe jutifed. A grand rounding up
6of the yellow flower seeds available
IN this country then began. we now
have good supply"
From the above 1t will be seen that
gtha suffrage garden idea Is immense
Unpopular in West Virginia. Win
many hundreds OF seed boxes on hand
and ready for shipment the COMMITTEES
expects to be able to supply all calls.
But there is a possibility that there
may be a shortage and 1t Is, therefore,
advisable that orders be sent to the
state Headquarters at the earliest pos
ssible moment to avoid d~isappointm ent.
THE flowers which the suffrage COM
Fmittee have selected are yellow pop
fpies, calliopsis, calendula, zlnnta. vel"
dragons and yellow chrysan-
Sthemums.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Later-The union labor leaders have brought about the results they have been striving for during the past twelve days of the strike of the traction employees.
 Various affiliated unions whose total membership is over eight hundred thousand men and women have today voted to strike in order that the street car men may win their fight for better hours and more pay. If this sympa- thetic strike should occur practically all business except the stock ex- change and banks and some shops would close their doors.
 This determined attitude of labor
 z convinced Mayor Mitchell, Jublic Service Commissioner Straus and Po- lice Commissioner Woods that the h. terboro Traction Company must recon : slider it's decision not to arbitrate. They believe it is the only chance to save the business of the city from chaos.
 On September 13 the company man. agers positively refused to arbitrate their differences with the men. Thy were not to be dictated to. At that time Mayor Mitchell urged the immedi- ate passage of compulsory arbitra- ton law.
 If is now almost certain that the firm stand of united labor will compel the railroad magnates to recede from their position. They not only be com

 IMPOSES TAX
International News Service.

BERNIE, Switzerland, Sept. 19.-The government has ordered that q heavy tax be imposed on all products of mine, factory or farm that are shipped from the country. The object of the tax ifs twofold to prevent the shipment of goods from the country and, in case the taxe is paid and the goods shipped, to raise funds with which the goods may be replaced.
 The exportation to the neighboring bellgerent nations during the past two years has been such as to deplete the iron and steel supply, and to use up material which may be needed for national defense. The shipment of food products has been so great that prices have risen to such a high level that many people cannot buy ade- quate amounts for their daily needs.

HOW TO ORGANIZE TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF NEW LOAN BILL

The following extracts from a com
munication recently received from the
Federal Farm Loan Board will be
found of interest to parties desiring
information:
AS soon as you can get together
ten or more farmers or prospective
farmers who wish to borrow on first
fam mortgages. hold a meeting and
adopt articles of association, filling in
at top the name of your association
and outlining the boundaries of the
distric. Then have each borrower
sign and acknowledge the articles OF
association before notary public.
Your association should elect its
directors at the first meeting. Elec.
ton should be by ballot, each mem.
ber having one vote for each $500
share of stock held. Five or more
directors may be chosen by law
Many associations are electing nine
directors, for the reason that with a
board of nine. there is no danger of a
tie vote and it is easier to compute
the two-thirds vote reuired to admit
new members.
"As soon as your directors are
elected have them meet and elect
president, a vice-president, a secre.
tary-treasurer and loan committee
of three members.
Your loan committee should pro.
ceed at once to prepare a written re-
port fixing the valuations of the land
to be mortgaged by all members of the
association. This report must be
unanimous.
This is as far as you can go until
the Federal Loan Bank of your dis
trict is located and established.
DO not send any of these papers
to Washington"

tion may be obtained from the Colo

The Hay Law Failure.

At least one thing has been accom-
plished by sending large force of
militia to the Mexican border 1t has
affected a practical test of the Hay
plan of compelling the national guard
to perform disagreeable duties for
which the regular army has been main
tanned.
The feeling that exists among the
guardsmen on borderduty is well il
lustrated by this letter, sent home by
New York private stationed at Nc
Allen, Tex, and published in an east
ern newspaper:
IF police force is needed by the
country here then the administration
should get police force. We guards
men enlisted for military duty and not
to sit on the Mexican lid, meanwhile
losing our material possessions. The
following statistics of the company
am in should be of interest: Total
number of men in the company. 125;
men who are losing salary, 103; men
who have lost positions, S5; men
whose families are suffering priva-
tion, So
This company will have completed
five months of service on the border
with the close of the present week.
The pay of the privates for these five
months will amount to SIS each.
Aside from the question of military
| efficiency, the Hay plan is failure
because few men will want to join the
national guard hereafter when it is
liable at any time for such service as
1t is being held to in the South now.
Not only is it a failure as a means of
strengthening the national defense but
it is wrecking such defense as the ma.
tional guard formerly provided
