Handsome Men on the Tickets
Would Cater to Women Voters

How can We win the support Of wo-
men voters for our party?
This problem has Wayne county
politicians "up the stump"
They all agree that the votes of
women will make the results of elec-
tions doubtful. Various numbers of
women will turn out for the different
elections, it is estimated. The char
acters of candidates and their stands
on moral issues and temperance ques-
tions will also probably regulate the
number of votes cast by women.
But, If by chance any one party
could monopolize the women votes,-
we'll the other one might just as well
close up headquarters. Here are some
ideas of leaders as to methods which
might be used:
Tea would be good thing to use as
lure for votes of women. Why not
add tea room for women to the party
headquarters.
Newspaper advertising is the best
method to reach the woman's heart.
It's no use, they will vote like their
fathers did. The husbands politics
cuts no figure.
Put only handsome men on the
ticket.
1t won't do for a man to 20 from

ficials and private citizens working TO
bring down the price of food here went
ahead with their plans today withou.

Zero Weather
Blights Outlook
On Wheat Crop

Recent zero weather may have put
crimp in this years wheat crop.
Middle western farmers, especially
in this section, are fearful that the low
temperature may have blighted the
entire crop.
They explain that during the ex-
tremely cold wave there was little pro-
lection for the grain in the way of
snow.
Wheat in this section is very brown.
but farmers have hope that an early
spring may save the crop.
