The World Cannot BE
Safe For Democracy Until

One Of the most important measures
before this most important congress m
our national history is the so-called Su-
san 3. Anthony amendment 90 the con
stitution, granting equal suffrage TO
American women
It's passage. with the least possible de
lay, *, n our opinion among the most

ers
A. MAI measure lit ranks second ~
none in urgency as a matter of e."neN-
tai justice it is imperative
This is the great hour Of humaa i5-
erty
Everything that America has stood
for AN that lovers O human iberty in
sll lands have won thru centuries Of toll
and bloodshed hangs upon the issue Of
The mighty conflict which now racks the
world.
The United States has entered this
great struggle to make the world safe for
democracy.
1t has taken up arms in defense Of the
immortal doctrine that ali peoples are
entitled to an equal voice in THEN govern
ment; that government of the people,
by the people, and for the people shall
not perish from the earth.
Can our country enter with untroubled
soul upon this mighty conflict when half
of her own people do not enjoy those fun
damental rights for vindication Of which
in a world menaced by autocracy We have
appealed to the sword?
There is. in logic. but one answer. Be
fore we can stand forth before the world
without fear and without reproach, as
the unstained champions Of democracy
we must first free our own women.
We cannot hold on high the pure flame
Of liberty to light the wandering foot.

our population has no more voice IN
choosing our rulers than did the lowieSt
Russian peasant under the rule Of the
Romanoffs.
But" says the voice of some hide
bound conservative, citizenship. implies
the obligation of military service. and
women cannot render military service. -
Can't they, indeed
How about the thousands Of Red Cross
nurses who are daily facing German
shells in their work of mercy, on the bat
,,lefields of Europe?
What of the army of. women who labor
in British and French factories, turning
out the munitions which are holding
back the Hun and the long line which
stretches from the channel to the Alps !?
What of that army Of women here at
home, taking the places in industry left
vacant by sons. brothers and husbands
called to the defense Of the republic, and
of the greater army which is turning out
warm clothing for our defenders on land
and sea and bandages for the succor Of
our wounded?
Does any man dare say that these
women are not rendering military SER
vice of the most indispensable sort?
Equal suffrage is the next logical step
in the direction of that pure democracy
toward which the soul Of the republic has
striven from It's foundation.
Ii must come if we are to prove our
selves worthy to survive as nation.

Community Breeding Help Small Breeders

Certain improvement, uniformity
good individuals and constructive
breeding are the results Of mating ie-
males with superior sires. Small breed
ers and those just beginning in the
breeding business frequently find The
best sires apparently too expensive.
As a result such breeders must either
be satisfied with mediocre sires, pay
heavy service fees for good ones, or
cooperate in the purchase Of sire.
Unfortunately too many choose the
easiest and ultimately the most dis
aSrous route--the cheap, inferior sire.
S, 7. Simpson Of the University OF
Missouri College Of Agriculture sug'
gests that in most instances few sac
rifces in personal fancies regarding
type and character and Inconvenience
in breeding will afford the use Of a
good sire. Organized community
breeding ciers opportunities for the
small breeder 10 improve his herd and
flock BY the use Of the best sires owned
CO operatiyely.
Community breeding offers lurthe,
opportunity thru the exchange Of sires
While using mature sires frequently
does not appeal 10 some persons, i
,hould be remembered that their rea
'alue seldom becomes known unit
heir get has developed. This mean
hat many sires are disposed Of befor
: heir value is known. Constructive
breeding and permanent improvement
IRE the results Of keeping the bes
healthy, tried sires Of good disposition
and exchanging them within the com
nunities. Aside from the economi
consideration this is another step il
constructive breeding. The secretar
Of the local breeders organizatio
should have a record Of every sir
and his performance and make III
available 10 each member.

Farewell to Our Soldier Boys

Royal SendoH-A Dinner to be Remembered

Curley, where al o'clock a bountiill
dinner was spread on the lawn from
full baskets, brought by the ladies Of
the two cities and the surrounding
country. Mr.. Van Stevens royalty pro-
vided the crowd with watermelon.
After dinner the entire assemblage OF
several hundred people joined in sing
ing The Star Spangled Banner" 1"
Following the anthem a stirring ad-
dress was delivered by Prof. E. J.
Hoenshel. Rev, F. A. Mills sang
several of his always popular songs,
after which good patriotic five minute
talks were given by the following meD:
Prot. Blankenship and Rev. W. w.
Reynolds Of Hollister, Col. Ford and
Lawyer Sharp Of Forsyth and Judge
Walker OF Branson.
The school children OF Branson as
sisted in the program by singing
America" and Columbia The Gem
oithe Ocean" Several OF the boys
made enthusiastic speeches. The pro-
gram was closed by prayer by Rev.
Mills.
Those assembled marched to the
depot at $3.50 o'clock to bid our boys
goOdby. Thirty boys filed the two
extra coaches. While the parting was
inexpressably sad, yet all concerned
exhibited true American spirit and pat
riotism. And all Taney County is
proud to have boys ready and willing
to help preserve intact our freedom.
