great picnic to be held April 5 at
Myrtle Grove, and great preparations
are being made to make this event
greater than the enjoyable occas-
sions last year. C. C. Weimier is ar

children in the county writing the
best essays on the eradication of the
cattle tick. The contest is open to all
schools and school children in the
county, and it is expected that keen

But What's the Use?
The Germans Would
Torpedo the Truth

You can now snip your teeth
to England, provided of course
they are portable, and you wish
to do so.
Postmaster Hancock has re-
ceived instructions that artificial
teeth, even with gold filings,
can be shipped by parcel post to
Great Britain.
So if you wish to befriend
some toothless Tommie fighting
in England's trenches, Britain
says it is all right with her.
The amendment to the postal
regulations governing the ship
ment of teeth was made neces-
sary by the rule announced by
Great Britain at the beginning
of the war, that gold filled teeth
would be barred.

Paris, Jan. 25. - 1t is not a crime
for a mother to kill child born as a

Calvin Balmer, of Reading, Pa,
charged with circulating the counter

RUSS REPULSE
GERMAN DRIVE
TOWARD RIGA
Reserves Fall on Teutons
Struggling in Swampy Region
and Cause Heavy Losses

The heaviest fighting now in prog
Russian front in the Riga sector,
where the Germans recently took the
offensive and drove back the Russians
a mile and a half in the region of
Great Tirul Marsh that long has barred
the way TO Riga for the German
forces.
Berlin announces to-day that the
attack netted the Germans strong
Russian positions on a front of about
six miles, with more than 1,700 pris-
oners and 13 machine guns. Russian
reserves hurriedly brought up were
able to check the advance.
Dislodgc Germans
Attempting again to advance over
the frozen ground which has made
the effort in this swamp region pos
sible. the Teutonic army has sustained
reverses, according to Petrograd to-
day. Northwest of the marsh they
opened a heavy artillery fire and then
attacked, but failed to make any head
way against the Russian defense. A
similar result met attacks between the
marsh and the river Aa and here. In
counter attack the Russians dis
lodged the Germans and drove them
back.
The fighting extended to the south
east of the river Aa. near Kalnzem,
which lies twenty miles southwest of
Riga Here the Russians, after taking
the offensive, were caught in counter
offense and were compelled to retire
iorthward q third of mile.
Elsewhere there has been little but
artillery, patrol and air fighting. En-
tire quiet apparently prevails all along
the Rumanian front. where the severi-
ties of the winter weather have
checked all operations except sporadic
bombardments and skirmishes.

.SUFFRAGNTS MAY
HAVE DIFFICULTY
WITH RESOLUTION
Baldwin Asks if There Is Real
Demand to Submit Ques-
ton to Voters
ROAD LOAN IS COMING UP
Will Likely Be Given TO People
to Decide at General Elec-
tionS in 1915

Woman suffrage advocates may
have some difficulty getting the legis-
lature to consider the resolution to
submit to the people of the State in
1920 the proposed amendment to per-
nit women to vote. Several of tie
most influential lawmakers, including
Speaker Richard j. Baldwin are un-
derstood to have declared that they
want to find out how the people feel
about the question of having an cleo
ton within five years on a question
disposed of by decisive vote.
The suffrage resolution was de-
feated in 1915 and if the legislatures
of 1917 and 1919 pass the resolution
the people will vote on it in 1920. The
constitution bars the submission of a
question more than once in five years.
ltis estimated here that the last suf-
frage amendment cost the State ap-
proximately $4,000 of which $4,000
was for advertising and the balance
for the ballot provision.
Speaker Baldwin's position is that
the advocates of suffrage must show
real demand on the part of the peo-
PIE 10 vote on the question and the
subject will be given serious con-
sideration in Republican party coun-
ellis. Some of the antisuffragists are
said to be as much in favor of sub
mitting the question again in 1920 as
the prosuffragists, Eolding that they
can defeat it next time by a still
greater majority. The question is not
SO much the propriety of bringing up
the question in 1920 but as to whether
the people want to discuss If again
The road loan proposition, which
went down to defeat in 1913 is likely
to come up again next year as the
resolution for the constitutional
amendment was passed last session
and will be put up to the lawmakers
again this year.
Rumor is that Representative Sam
uel A. Whitaker, of Chester, will pre-
sent the suffrage amendm ent resolu-
