FORD PAYS WOMEN $ \ DAY.
Officials Declare Increase It Found
 ed on Economic Basis.

Detroit Mich, Oct. 26.-Four hun dred women employees in the Ford Motor Company factory in Detroit and several hundred in other branch factories and offices, will benefit from the S5 minimum wage scale for women, announced Tuesday by Henry Ford, following his confer ence with President Wilson at Long Branch.
 Officials of the Ford company de- elared today that the new wage plan affects all women employees of the company in the United States who are more than 2i years of age. Wom- en under 2i, who have dependents, will also share in the higher wage scale it was stated. The new scale became effective October i0.
 Ford officials emphasized that the decision to pay women on a basis of equality with the men must not be regarded as a philanthropic project. They expressed conviction that the principle will be yindicated from an economic standpoint and pointed to the last annual statement of the Ford company as absolute proof of the financial success of the s min- imum plan, both to the company and it's employees.
 The financial statement, covering the year ending July 3i showed net profits of approximately S60000, GOO by far the biggest year in the his- tory of the Ford concern. Of total of 19.870 employees, the statement showed that 36,326 received s5 or more neP day

Miss Winetta Pugh and Neil Riding
 Married Last June.

Miss Winetta Pugh and Neil Rid ling have stolen march on their relatives and friends by getting mar ried on June 1 in Fort Smith and then keeping the marriage secret. The chances are that it would not be known now if it had not been for the fact that some member of Mir. Ridling's family by chance found the marriage certificate, which Neil left behind when he went to Tex arkana last week. Miss pugh. or rather. Mrs. Riding, has for several weeks been visiting relatives with her grandmother. Mrs. J. p. Me- Mahon, in Lawrence. kas., and Neil went to Texarkana last week to ac- cept a position in the reportorial department of the Four States Press. Mrs. S. M Riding. the mother of the groom, stated to The Star that she had no idea why the young peo- pie were secretly married, nor did she know when they had intended to disclose the fact of the marriage.

MUST FIGHT FOR COTTON CROPS
State Etomoiogisi Says the v.r.ee...l i Must Be Fought This Fall.
Special 10 The Star.

Special 10 The Star.
 Fayetteville, Oct. 26.-Prof. Geo. C. Becker. State Etomologist with the College of Agriculture. Fayette- ville, says "The boil weevil seeks shelter with the first freeze, conse- quently, the farmers who ex- pect to do fall blowing and clean up the fence rows and corners in an ef- fort to destroy the food supply and the hibernating places of the boil weevil. should get busy at once. Flowing done after December i will not do much good as far as the boil weeyil is concerned.
 If you are to protect next years cotton profits, you must do every thing that car be done to control the number of weeyil that may be carried thru the winter at once. The best way to destroy the weevii is to blow under old cotton stalks. burs and bolis with all other rub destroying his food sunpIv and hid- ing places. When freezing weather comes the last generation will thus be exposed and great numbers will be destroyed, consequently, few will be carried thru the winter in our fields to attack next years crop. Now is the time to de effective work.
 Fall blowing not only helps to control the boil weeyil. but in clay soils it makes available large stores of natural fertility by permitting the free circulation of air and moisture during the winter months. Fall blowing also gives time for organ ic material which is turned over, to deeompose. Loose, sandy soils should be protected with a cover crop to prevent loss from washing and teaching during the winter months. Act now-protect the iet7 cotton crop and reduce the fertiliz- CT bill for next spring"

US. INNExT WAR; DECLARES WILSON
,,noossible to Stay Out of World Conflicts = Neutrality Impossible when Must Fight for Rights
 Wants League for Peace.

Cincinnati, Oct. 27.--"This IS the ,os, war involving the world that inc United States can keep out of, i" president Wilson said in an address hefore the Women's City Club here yesterday.
 q say this,r he added solemnly, 4heeause l am convinced that the bnsiness of neutrality is at an end. you know there comes a time when neutrality becomes intolerable.
 America should lend not only moral influence, but physical force, if other nations will join, to prevent one nation from preying upon an- other. providing the only things to he fought for are the fundamental rights of humanity.
 STt is impossible to live in an at mosphere of neutrality when you have to fight for your rights.
 Mir. Wilson again advocated a league of nations to maintain peace after the present war. He said the limited States should be ready to use it's physical force if necessary 10 assist in preventing war.
 No Army Back of Investments.
 "A good many men are com plaining that we are not fighting for the things not spiritual. They want us to put the army and navy back of investments"
 The President denied that present prosperity of the United States was due to the European war and said there was no ground for fear that Europe during the war is storing up goods to dump on markets in Amer lea after tbe war.
 Fears No European Trade War.
 We have means of defense and means of offense," said the President. We are not helpless. We are not blind"
 The President said America should feel sympathy for Europe, not fear. He spoke of the silly imagination" of men who say Europe is preparing for an economic war on the United States.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system of the human body.
 In perfect health we hardly realize that we have network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declin> lngs the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamfui steep, durability and unless corrected, leads straight to breakdown.
 10 correct nervousness, Scott's Emui- sion IS exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while me whole system responds to it's refresh ng tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
