THE SUFFRAGE JAIL CROP
Nearly twenty women have been
sentenced to jail for picketing the
White House during the past month.
1t has developed at a meeting held in
headquarters at Washington that the
women are receiving large financial
support. One of the women who had
been in Jail related at gathering of
her associates that she went up into
hard shelled New England. and held
meetings" She said the people came
to hear her, largely out of curiosity.
And when she had finished her story
$5O0000 was subscribed to continue
the work which now consists princi-
pally in picketing the White House.
Evidently it is the purpose to send
the women who have served Jail SEN
tences to all parts of the country to
tell of their experiences and advocate
woman suffrage.
SEVEN TONS OF POLITICS
There is daily average of seven
tons of frankable mail sent out by
members of the two Houses of Con-

WHO IS GOING TO PAY.

The profits of the United States
Steel Corporation for 1917 will be
s490 900 900; and most of this will be
made out of war supplies. Is it any
wonder that people in Wall Street are
asking: "Do you think there is any
danger of the war being stopped ?"
There have been various propositions
before the Senate to tax excess prof
its, and under analysis all these prop
ositions have been juggled in the in
terests of steel. Every effort to shift
a substantial part of the war burden
onto the capitalistic interests has met
with defeat. Something like $4,000
100000, 900 additional is to be loaned
to the Allies; and before many moons
war will be costing the people of the
United. States one million dollars an
hour. In the face of these frightful
conditions Congress has stood by the

Native hay packs more closely, the
usual figure being 422 cubic feet for
one ton in well settled stack.
There are three general methods Of
arriving at the number of cubic feet
in the stack. All three methods re-
uuire the width, length, and over
measurement The latter is the dis
tance from the ground on one side,
straight over the top to the ground on
the other side. Where stacks are lr-
regular, it is best to secure number
of measurements for the width and
length and the over-measurements,
an duse the average.
RULE l. One-fourth of the over
multiplied by the width, then multi
piled by the length and divided by the
-eauired number Of cubic feet to make
one ton This rule gives accurate
figures on small, squat stacks when
the width is from one-third to one
half of the cover"

bought 1856 tons by the use of this
rule, and when weighed out it weighed

ceeds one-half the over.
RULE III. Government Rule

SEVEN TONS OF POLITICS
AMERICAN MEAT EATERS

The American people have been
eating up their livestock without re-
placing the supply for twenty-five
years. In consequence beefsteaks have
become almost delicacy and pork
chops an extravaganza. Now a hun
dred and twenty-five livestock spe-
cialists from all parts of the country
have gathered in Washington to de-
termine "what we are going to dc
about it." The war complexities mat
ters, as, this country is expected to
send meats abroad, while it has an in
sufficient supply for the wants of our
own people. Official statistics show
that the meat supply according to the
population, is only about half what it
was quarter century ago. Several
million dollars worth of literature has
been issued by the Government try
ing to induce the raising of cattle
But the propaganda has not been sue
cessful; and the 125 experts will do
we'll if they suggest some other plan
besides coaring farmers. Because the
farmers won't be coaxed.

largest institutions in the country.
That tells the story rather completely.
Mr.. Hoover makes business of find

within reason, and then he gets the
men who will handle the different
commodities to agree to sell at stip-
ulated figure. That they are all do

WASHINGTON AND PACIFISTS
While the Peoples Council was hav-
ing its difficulties trying to meet in
Minneapolis, Hudson and Chicago, the
report gained ground that the Pacif-
lists would come to Washington to
hold their sessions, and it was made
plain through the public press that the
police would permit the meeting and
give it protection. The idea that free
speech is to be suppressed is appar-
emily not as popular in the Capital as
in the interior of the country. In
Washington pacifists are not regarded
as persons attempting to interfere
with the Government policy They arc
looked upon merely as people VIII, be

are two points to be considered.
These are the number Of cubic feet re-

movement.
For January it is the purpose of
the Union to make camphor belts to
supply the men before they are call

caution against vermin is necessary
to the comfort of the soldiers.
Very gratifying was the statement
that the special edition of The News
Melted one hundred dollars each to
the local Union and to the Woman's
Club. The larger part of this fund
will be applied to war relief work.
Ten dollars of the amount has al
ready been appropriated to the Y.

stirred by an appeal for "our own
boys" that each one should be the
especial care of somebody "back

While the Union stands for peace
it is a peace that comes with the
triumph of right principles, and to
that end every member is committed
to such war measures as will bring
victory over autocracy.

also doves. Of wild turkeys also
there are said to be a number on the

The demand for licenses, which

AN APPEAL TO THE
WOMEN OF TERRELL COUNTY
Urged to Supply Soldiers With the
Needed Comforts.

We have been asked by some of the
best workers in Dawson to urge the
women of Terrell county to give their
work to supplying our own Terrell
county soldiers with every comfort,
and everybody will agree that the
home boys must have the first con-
slderation, but we cannot do our du-
ty to our country if we narrow our
thoughts down to neighborhood
groups.
Every boy who has enlisted for the
defense of America is "our soldier"
We must remember, too, that we live
in a highly favored section, and back
of every Terrell county soldier is a
well-to-do family. Certainly Terrell
county boys shall not be neglected,
for almost every one of them is pros
porous, comfortable and happy with
mother, sister, sweetheart, cousins
and aunts claiming the privilege of
supplying them all the little extras
that add to their comfort.
Nothing is too good for Terrell
county boys, but shall we not give
some time and some thought to the
hundreds of khaki-clad lads who have
no hOmefolks or friends to cheer
them? Touching stories come to us
of these lonely ones, and Terrell
county women are too big hearted
not to want a part in mothering these
who so much need their help.

A THOUGHT THAT'S WELL
ENOUGH TO KEEP IN MIND
Great Writer Outlines the Trouble of
People in Doing Great War Work.

One of the most Illuminating arti-
cles on war relief work is from pen of
Arnold Bennett in December Cosmo-
politan. 1t will put every woman to
thinking along the line of duty if she
will give it a careful reading. We
regret that lack of space prevents a
reproduction of the entire article in
these columns, but we quote this
axiom from many others, 'The pre-
liminary trouble and WEAKNESS and
annoyance Incidental to starting the
work are themselves a necessary and
inevitable part of war work just as
much as bandaging the brows of he
roes." This is a thought we want to
keep in mind if we would meet the
demands of this testing task.

CAMPAIGN BEGUN
TO RAISE 100000
FOR Y. M. c. A. WORK AMONG
SOLDIERS. M. PARKER
SPEAKS IN DAWSON.

The whole country has been
aroused to the Importance of waging
a campaign for raising $35,OOO,OO0
for continuing the great work begun
by the Y. NJ. c. A in the army camps
of America and among our soldiers
in France, the time limit for raising
the amount being November Ills.
Dawson came in on the home
stretch, the congregations of the city
uniting in a service at the Methodist
church Sunday at eleven o'clock in
the interest of the movement. Mr.
w. c. Parker, secretary of Y. M. c..
A. work at Camp Wheeler, was heard
with great interest in a forceful pre-
sentation of the good being accom-
plished by the different branches in
providing recreation and conven-
fences in the way of games, writing
material and athletic sports, as well
as religious services on Sundays, and
well stocked libraries to tighten the
few hours the soldiers have between
turns of duty.

proprlate music. Rev. T. M. Gala
way conducted the devotional SER
vice. In introducing the speaker Prof.
j. C. Dukes in earnest words of en-
dorsement of the Y. NJ. C. A. work
took occasion to speak in high praise
of what has been accomplished by
Mr.. Parker, who by the way expects
soon to be in training at one of the
aviation camps. The youthful sol
der with his eloquent plea for the
safeguarding of the khaki clad boys
made a profound impression on his
hearers, which cannot fail to bear
fruit. DR.. L. Lamar spoke briefly of
the great need Of the work.
For whi-'wi1d drive to raise
funds the following committee was
