WOMEN ARE GOOD LOSERS
Already Begin Another Campaign to

Portland, Me-, Sept. l3.-The women
of Maine are not downhearted over
the defeat of the woman suffrage
amendment 10 the constitution in the

cause are already hard at work for
another campaign for the right Of
women to vote.
The defeat Of the amendment was
decisive, the vote being Il ,029 to 81

than half the referendum vote cast on
the prohibition law in 1911.
Auburn and Rockland were the only

losses of the Austrlans are estimated
at 100000.
The Austrian plan now seems to be
10 abandon counter attacks n re-
main on the defensive along the east

where their positions such as Ceroek,
Draga and Volnik about 1000 feet high
dominate those occupied by the ltal-
ians by several hundred feet, at the
same time centering the efforts of
their best troops on the Carso in the
hope of checking the slow but deter

The |furiousity Of the Austrian conn

are not wanting that the German

leading German military writer's who
point out the lateness of the season

further this fall. He will be content
with safeguarding his new acquisi-
tions, the bases of Riga and Duenam-

cal infantry movements but for the
most part the artillery and the airmen
are the only branches of the service
being actively employed by either
side.

broken over a distance Of about As
miles between Riga and Friedrich

being overrun by Germans. Although
Russians have fallen back with great

that they have not been put to rout
and that loyal troops are lighting
splendid rear guard actions.
Fighting activity in wesI has been

How Barnes County Women
Can Aid in Patriotic Work

In this time of high cost of living
and scarcity of many staple food prod
ucts, the food problem is uppermost in
the minds of the thinking people of
America. 1t is not entirely matter of
producing more food; there are other
important things which demand our
serious consideration. We Americans
are said to be the most wasteful peo-
pie on earth. We can and should econ
omize in our homes and make the best
use of what we have. Every citizen
has a duty to perform in this matter.
We have already shown our patriot
ism by planting on all available land
beans, potatoes and other vegetables.
The next problem which demands our
attention is the saving of the products
after we have grown them. This can
be done by canning, drying and stor-
ing. AS valuable service to those in
whose hands the responsibility of
handling our food is placed, a govern
ment expert from Washington, D. c.,
will be in Valley City July 10 and II,
during the last week of Chautauqua,
to demonstrate the best and easiest
method Of canning soups, meats, fruits
and vegetables. Every woman in Val
ley City and vicinity who has the well
fare of her family at heart should
make special effort to receive this
instruction.
