A SUFFRAGE LESSON.

The overwhelming vote by which
the British house of commons passed
the woman's suffrage BLISS to Sc

although the minimum age at which
women are allowed to vote is fixed at
30 while that of men is 81. Our
friends should make note Of the fact
that this battle was won. as others
must be won, by refraining from that
dstastcful, annoying and--right now
disgusting militancy program of
pic etirg and heckling.
As we have stated in these columns
heretofore, the faction that persists
in these practices is unrepresentative
of that great organization that moves
along sane lines and wins for the
cause not only the respect of law
abiding citizens. bit much favorable
legislation. The President of the Ma
tional association and our State Pres
idcnt Mrs. South have denounced
the action of these militants, who
have carried their program to the ex-
tent that at this critical time when
loyalty to the President of the United
States end our countr.' is so essen
tial, they flaunt unpatriotic and Sc
ditious banners in the faces Of off
cials and citizens in the national Cap
itol. Their actions were so provok-
ing that it became necessary recently
to sound the riot alarm when war
was declared in a general mix-up Of
women at the White House gate.

PORTER YOUTH IN JAIL
Little Hope For Recovery of Sister
Whom He Shot.

Jonesboro, Ark.-Edison Porter,
the 12-year-old boy who shot and Sc
riously wounded his sister. Mrs.
Johnnie Lancaster.was arrested at
Cash, small town west of here. by
Constable Lon Craig. The lad was
returned to the city and placed in
Jail. He will be given hearing and
it is thought on account of his youth
he will be sent to the reform school.
Mrs. Lancaster is resting fairly
well, but the physicians have little
hope for her recovery, owing to the
fact that the intestines are punctured
in several places.

The Hartford Republican in its is
sue of June 20 seems to be call up j

pearcd in The Herald last week. Tn
part that seems, to agitate our es
teemed contemporary so much is
comment or little sCuib that ap
pearei in the Memphis Commercial
Appeal. Here il is in its entirety:
"The German war plan, as now
understood, was: paris in three
weeks, London in three months,
Washington in three years"
Maybe that will make Ameri-
cans realize why we have to
share in this war-[Commercial
Appeal.
Yes, maybe it will make Amer
leans realize why we have a
share in the war. But VIC have
a whole lot of people in this
grand country Of ours who arc

in America. and rot at heart.
There are thousands o. people
today who are holding President
Wilson, individually, responsible
for our having to fight Germany
just because he happens to be at
the head Of the nation. True
blue Americans though, ire
spective of politics, take the SEN
sible view of the matter"
The Republican then says; "Well,

and more ard took unto himself all
of the credit for our being out of the

Herbert Kaufman, in an article
"July 4, 1917" has this to
say as to why we are at war:
ave are at war because God bids
us to the front; because humanity
has summoned US to arms; because
we would be false to conscience and
to you, if we abandoned Civilization
in this extremity"
Yes, the President kept us out of war
two years-something possibly no
other man in the United States could
have done-and it is to him that We
owe our not being at war sooner. AS
to Mr.. Wilson being elected "for
that special purpose and upon that
special plea" that is something new
to us. We ard thousands Of others
know that he was elected because the
farmers of the United States thought

WORKING OF CORAL BEDS.

The coral beds of Japan are worked
by divers in the employ of a master
diver who receives the take as it
comes in, grades it, and when a suffi-
cient quantity has been obtained, asks
for bids on the lot of each grade.
Representatives of the leading export
ing and wholesale firms are always at
hand during the season the best coral
is taken to inspect the take and prof
fer bids. The total annual take is
about $4,000 pounds, valued at $780,
600. The color of the coral has a
great deal to do with the value placed
upon it. The most expensive is "boke"
a pale ounce color. Single beads OF
this color, suitable for manufacture
into ornamental hairpins, bring from
$40 to $50 each. The next color in
value is pink, followed by white, light
red and dark red.

and stand the containers upside down
in a cool place, being careful that no
meats do not use over Is pounds of
draft strikes the hot jars. Watch for
leakage and screw covers down
tighter when necessary. Store in a
cool dry place, not exposed to freez-

Use band labels for cans, being
careful not to let the glue get on the

There will be no spoilage if the
directions are followed implicitly and
the containers are sealed up tight.
