Helpful Program.
There are other ways that We
can help the women--through their

Correspondence Courses.
Other branches OF our work are
correspondence courses. which we
hope to make more effective in 1916.
and courses such as the one at
Maryland Agricultural College this
week. Our motto, you see, Is adapt

these women and men. too. in terms

them. YOU can see by this how we
have TO adapt our work to each new

difference represents their profit.
Some girls even sell their canned

we hope TO be able to present a GER

a famous beauty says in the
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1916-10-19

Mr.. BRYAN, in one of his speeches
for Wilson, significantly asks: "Where
was Mr.. Hughes when the Democratic
party led the fight for popular cleo
ton of Senators? Where was Mr..
Hughes when the Democrats led the
fight for an income taxi Where was
he when the Democrats led the fight
for currency reform and for antitrust
legislation" And then in answer to
Mr.. Hughes assertion that the Demo-
cratic party had for twenty years
been a party of opposition to progress
Mr.. Bryan adds: "For twenty years
the Democratic party has led the
reform forces of the nation, and the
Republican leaders have done their
best to prevent reforms. Mr.. Hughes
has not been in a Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep either, he has been on the side
of Wall Street all the time.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1916-10-19

In 1908, the last year of Gov. Had
ley's administration, the public schools
OF Howell county received $10,93S.22
from the state. But in 1916 under a
Democratic administration it's public
schools received $21,372.17 from the
state. Notwithstanding all the Re-
publican clap-trap about the school
fund, the foregoing figures conclusive
ly show who has been the friend of
the public schools of that county. The
total school apportionment under the
last year of Hadley was 1861 ,557 81.
This year under Democratic rule, it is
81 1854, 1874. 95, the largest amount ever
paid by the state to the public schools
in any single year.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1916-10-19

Mr.. HUGHES declares that President
Wilson has not been drastic enough in
his foreign policy-especially naming
the Lusitania episode; that he SEM too
many notes, and lacked action. This,
of course, means that Mr.. Hughes in
the White House would have severed
relations with Germany and declared
war. 1t can mea nothing else, for,
apart from unfolding the rights and
honor of the Republic through dip
lomatic correspondence and adjust
ment, wal would have been the only
alternative. AS it now stands, this
nation has lost neither honor nor pres
tige, but its demands have been ac-
knowledged and its contention sus-
tanned by the German government.
Which the better way?
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1916-10-19

FROSTED out on all other questions,
our Republican friends have returned
to their old love-the Tariff. But the
"Free Trade" bugaboo has lost its
grip on the American Imagination,
and the dinner-pail is chock full. No
longer can the faithful be made to be-
lieve that 1.-THE foreigner pays the
tax" or that Protection makes higher
wages and lower products at n and
the same time-or the kindred lies in
behalf of Especial Privilege. The voice
of the charmer charms no more, and
dull On the public ear fall his fearsome
representations.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1916-10-19

Mr.. HUGHES dislikes the federal
banking and currency law which will
prevent panics. He does not like the
child labor law that will prevent the
dwarfing Of the bodies and minds of
boys and girls in the factories. He is
against the eight-hour law which is
SO distasteful to the railroad man
ayers. Apparently the only thing
that he would like is to see Charles
Evasion Hughes president.
