CIVILIZATION

Ferhaps the greatest picture ever
screened in Scotland Neck is the ten
act war drama entitled Civilization
to be shown this afternoon and TO-
night at Madry's New Theatre. and
all peace loving people should not miss
| it.
Opening with scene of quiet coun-
try life, presumably in Belgium, where
IN it is shown the farmers and women
workers in the fields the shepherds
| tending their flocks, and the antiouat-
ed blacksmith shop, the scenes verge
to the council chamber of the great
monarch, but whom ambition ruthlesslv
tears away the peacefulness Of his peo
PIE and plunges them into horrible
war;
Then comes many frightful incidents
OF warfare, including the under sea
crafts, the manipulation Of the torpedo
which is intensely interesting.
1ntersperced through the whole story
IS the part the woman plays in this
frightful war the tearing of her loved
ones from her side, the suffering Of
mental and bodily anguish, and the &
nal word when read from the bulletin
board Of lost and wounded. This fea
ture strikes home to everyone, for Il
this particularly that is in the minds
or all when contemplating any Of our
own people being called to the war.
Peace is of course, the moral aimed
at and well indeed is it portrayed, for
running through the last chapters the
quotations are from the Masters own
teachings, and many Of the scenes are
arranged to enhance this thought.
Closing is facsimile letter from
president Wilson to the author endor
sing the picture which is followed bv

hands with Mr.. Ince.

Their Suffrage Promise
 A Moral Obligation to
 Oklahoma Legislators
Mrs. Lucas, First Woman to Enroll Bill, Extois Political
 Leaders.

A political promise is no scrap or paper to Oklahoma legislators. An overwh helmingly Democratic legisla7 ture demonstrated what President Wilson calls the moral obligation or the St. Louis national suffrage plank by adopting the Oklahoma suffrage amendment resolution in both houses in March of this year.
 Back of Oklahoma's recent suffrage victory is a story of mans humanity and gratitude to woman. It IS told by Mrs. Frank B. Lucas of Oklahoma City. who claims the distinction o1 being the only woman to enroll leg islatiye measure. Enrolling an act, Mrs. Lucas explains, is the final dis position made of a successful meas ure.
 "Why did they permit me to do IL! said Mrs Lucas. Because they knew I understood the procedure. It is my vocation to compile, annotate and citate laws. The legislators let me enroll the suffrage bill because they knew I could be trusted not to alter word or line. Never was so tempted The resolution had been amended to permit women to vote al the primaries but the amendment had been lost. 1 did want to see that amendment go in"

deed, they seem to merit her praise. And she should know for she chap eroned the bill through all its vieissi- tudes up to the moment of passage on the closing night after the clock had been stopped to permit the transaction of legislative business.
 Men of all parties throughout the state were in favor of the amend ment and did all in their power to facilitate its passage.
 On the last night when the bill had not yet been reported out of com mittee, Mrs. Lucas persuaded enc of it's friends to call a caucus and bind the members by caucus rule, and when the measure came to a vote later in the evening, it carried with out a dissenting voice. She hurried with the engrossed bill to the House to have that body recede from its primary election clause and ratify the substituted general election. Then back she went to the Senate for the presidents signature; and again to the House for the Speakers sigma ture and to have the bill engrossed with it's amendments. At am. Mrs. Lucas had the satisfaction of enrolling the act which will emanei- pate the Oklahoma women if the cam paign prosecuted by the suffragists during the coming months is brought to a successful conclusion at the polls in 1918.
 The president of the Oklahoma State Suffrage Association is Mrs. Adelia G. Stephens. The correspond ing secretary is Mrs. Julia Wood worth.
 Mrs. Lucas is chairman of the finance committed All tLree are residents of Oklahoma City, but rep resentative women from all over the state were largely instrumental in the passage of this bill.

inches of the neck of the jar. Cover the kettle with close lid to hold as much of the steam as possible and start cooking.
 Do not start counting time until the water gets to boiling good, then boil 30 minutes. Take out and screw down lid tight as possible. If you use a kettle or deep pan to place jars in, put in strips of wood nailed together to make false bottom, to keep jars fro mtouching the bottom as that will break them. Pack paper or straw be- tween jars so they cannot hit to- gether.
 Be sure to have a close fitting lid to the vessel you use as canner, as the extra heat you get from the con, fined steam insures success if you follow. directions.
 Directions For Canning Peaches.
 Sterilize jars and cans. Before plac. ing rubbers on jars, put them for five minutes in one pint of hot water iii which has been dissolved one level teaspoon of soda.
 Select firm peaches Scald for 15 seconds by putting them in wire basket or cheese cloth sack and plunging into boiling water; then peel by hand or by rubbing peeling of with cloth. Cut into halves; fill sterilized cans or glass jars. but do not crush. Vary the de- gree of syrup according to the quality of fruit being used. Under no circumstances pack poor quality of fruit in heavy syrup; neither should high grade peaches be packed in light syrup. Too much sugar will de- stroy the freshness and natural flavor of the fruit For syrups use five pounds, eight ounces to one gallon of water. For the sweetest peacher or lower grades use from three and one-half to four and one-half pounds of sugar to one gallon of water. Put sugar in cold wa ter and dissolve, bring slowly to boil and boil for one minute.
 Never uce the early varieties of peaches for canning for market as early fruit is usually very watery and will not make a nice pack. Peaches may be canned for pies with out peeling or without sugar Wash we'll and rub "fuz" off with coarse cloth; split in halves, fill the can and cover with hot water. Peaches cut in quarters or eighths will lowder their market value. Exhaust in tin cans by putting them in canner. Have the water nearly up to the top of the cans and bring to boil and boil for three minutes. Tip cans and process by boiling in No cans for 15 min- utes.
 For glass jars lay rubbers on and place top on or screw half way down. Have the water in canner nearly up to the top of jars and about the same temperature of the contents of jar, bring to boil and boil for three min utes. Seal jars and process by boil ing for 20 minutes. When jars are taken out do not let cold draft strike them,
