The serious car shortage is likely to

be felt by all merchants and in fact
all business men in Salem. As long as
the mills suffer and orders are held
up, the average citizen is not greatly
interested. But the shortage has be-
come so serious that the Spaulding
Logging company is considering tne ad-
visibility of closing down the Newberg
mill and if ears are not received in Sa-
lem, the mill in this city will close.
The closing of the mill here temporari-
ly would mean that fully l75 men
would be thrown out of employment
for time and this would mean no pay
roll for these men, amounting to about
$4,000 month. With more than $500
a day less pay roll in the city, the ear
shortage would be felt by all business
houses.

THE PARSONS-SOUDERS COMPANY

FOOLS" well. If we are such FOOLS"
Mrs. Dudley smilingly remarked. ut
is because God made US SO to
match men,"
Some DIRECTORS say that II women
are given the vote they will not use
1t. One good way to Judge the future
Is by things OF the past. In those
states in which women have the bal
lot, they vote and their vote con-
stantly increases. The secretary OF
state of Wyoming where women
have had suffrage the last forty-nine
years. reports that ninety per cent OF
the women exercise their franchise
privilege. In Colorado from seventy.
Ave to eighty per cent Of the women
avail themselves Of the ballot.
There is unnecessary fear on the
part of some. the speaker declared,
as to the negro vote. West Virginia
has something like 100000 male
white voters at present and only a.
900 male negro voters, the latter be-
ing so far outnumbered as to make
any fear of negro supremacy out Of
the question. Some women DIRECTORS
declare they would not like to go to
the polls and vote because they might
meet their cooks there. They meet
their cooks in their own kitchens.
however, and considerably more often
than they would at the polls.
Already Answered.
Women should not vote because
they cannot go to war. some object.
The European war now raging GER
tainly contradicts that assertion.
Women have taken their part in this
war, not only at tho front but in the
factories and fields. railroads. street
cars and other places at home. And
In the end. 1t is the woman who bears
the heaviest burden OF war.
Another objection often raised is
that women should not be in poll
ties Women, however. are In poll
tics anyway. The woman of the home
engages in political question every
time she turns on the spigot in her
kitchen. every time she orders the
food and other supplies for her home.
every time she sends her children out
to scaool.
Some men ana women assert. said
Mrs. Dudley, that women are not sat
listed with the ballot in states where
they are enfranchised. Why is 1t,
fhen, she asked. do they not repel the
equal suffrage laws in those states7
Women righteously resent the fact
that they have no vote, that they are
legally classed. SO far as suffrage Is
concerned. with the alien, the Grim
inal, the pauper, the idiot, and the
insane. They believe they are enti-
tied to have the ballot and they are
determined to get It eventually. They
need It to enforce equality Of oppor-
tunity. to obtain equal pay for equal
work, to look after guardianship and
property rights. child labor problems,
civic questions, education progress
and. other things in which woman Is
particularly interested.

They are buying our Nevr-

This means that the skirt will al

This means that woman can now

that II will At her until the day she

This means that she can wash 1t In
