MEETING ON SATURDAY

The whole county responded en-
Enthusiastically to the call for repre-
sentatives at the mass meeting of
women which assembled in the lee
ture room of the library at 2.30 Sat
urday afternoon. Every available
chair was in use and benches impro-
vised and still the women kept COM
ing. When the meeting was called
to order all stood and united in sing
ing America" led by Mrs. Clarence
Niklason. Mrs. +. S. Watts. chair
man, spoke briefly concerning the
work of the Military Relief committee
and woman's place in the war. Miss
Mary Davis, secretary of the organi
cation, then told of her recent jour
Aey to Des Moines and her visit at
the various Red Cross work rooms
in that city. She certainly made good
use of her one day of investigation
for she was well posted on every part
of the work being done at state head
quarters. She also brought home
with her a number of samples of hos
pital garments as models for the
seamstresses and plenty of pattern for
the cutters who will want to begin
work at once.
Mrs. w. d. Kirk of Chicago then
told of the work for the Red Cross
being done in Chicago, saying that
every man. woman and child was lit
orally on the job. Knitting in the
street cars and at church is a common
thing in the city and every social
gathering is really knitting bee.
Mrs f. S. Van Gorder gave a short
account of the knitting already under
taken in Audubon and vicinity and
the way in which the money was
earned to furnish the yarn.
Mrs. LLois Ashby told of the work
done by the Relief Corps earlier in
the summer when they made house
wives and comfort bags for the newly
enlisted soldiers.
One of the interesting exhibits
brought in to show the kinds of work
being done was knitted helmet, an
exact duplicate of the helmets used
by the British soldiers in France and
the property of Mrs. George Weigh
ton. Only the captains of the diff
ferent divisions were named Saturday
and these captains will be consulted
before further appointments will be
made.

BOND ISSUE CARRIES

Last Friday the people of Elk
Horn and the Independent School
district were given an opportunity
to vote whether or not a $4,000
bond issue should be voted for the
purpose of building a new school. 1872
votes were cast. OF these 165 were
in favor of the bond issue and only
p opposed. The outcome of this
election leaves no doubt as to what is
the general sentiment with regard to
new school. The actual work of
construction will likely be taken up
as soon as possible.

women have borne a leading part In
every revolutionary and educational
movement in modern Russia, they shall
be enfranchised at once.
With "Babushka" Breshkovsky there
are coming back into Russia from exile
and prison thousands of women. TO
deny these women even temporarily
the right to vote on the future of Rus
sia," says Mr.. Ohsol, will not be toler-
ated by the masses" 1t is the opinion
of Russian women Of prominence In
this country that behind the Russian
revolution Is the shining promise OF
woman's freedom.

FIRST REUNION OF HOUSE
OF HAINLINE HELD SUNDAY

The first Hainline reunion was held at
the fair ground at this city last Sunday
and was largely attended by members of
the family Quite a number now resid-
ing in neighboring counties and towns
swelled the attendance, coming by train,
traction and automobile. The gather
ing brought together many who met for
the first time, but the greetings were not
the less cordial for that.
At noon the baskets were emptied OF
their contents and spread upon tables in
one of the halls on the grounds, and
good appetites met the appetizing sub
stantials and delicacies on the most inti-
mate and friendly terms. The afternoon
was spent in getting better acquainted,
reminiscent talk, with the war, food and
fuel problems for side issues.
AS the afternoon wore away and time
arrived for departure for home, more
good things we're displayed for those
who were able to come back, " then the
left overs, enough to feed as many more,
were repacked.
So pleased were all with the exper-
fences of their initial gathering that it
was unanimously concluded to make
an animal pilgrimage somewhere in
America" and enjoy day alike to the
one Just recorded. Celina was decided
on for next years S meeting.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait appeared
at the Senate hearing, In behalf Of the
Federal Suffrage Amendment, fanked
by these % flags as a concrete illustra-
tion of the fact that in no country ex-
cept the United States are women
forced to seek political freedom by ref
erendum to a general electorate.
Since January l, 1917, the franchise
has been conferred upon the women of
Ontario, Canada, by act of the provin-
cial legislature.
After eleven years Of waiting, French
women have this year seen their mu-
nicipal suffrage bill favorably reported.
In February, 1917, the committee on
universal suffrage Of the Chamber Of
Deputies voted favorably on the Flan-
din suffrage bill which, when passed.
will give French women municipal
franchise and eligibility to municipal
offices. 1t is sponsored by Monsieur.
Pierre Etienne Flandln, deputy from
the Yonne, who believes its chances
for passage are good and that, once
passed, the vote for national represent
atives will soon be added.
