 WashinQton's birthday was celebrated at this place by a very impressive scene. It was a march through our streets by the children of our school, head cd by the president, Bro. Pierce, and his assistants. At the close of the march they assembled in front of the bank, where Bro. Pierce made an eloquent. patri- otic address to a large crowd of citizens as well as to the school. A large American flag was car ried at the head of the process ion and small one in the rear. They sang the song of America, and broke up by giving the col lege yell.
 There is a right smart of sick ness throughout our community.
 Bro. Dunn filled his regular appointment at the Methodist church the 1st Sunday.
 There will be an overwhelm- ing crop of radishes in this com munity this year if everything turns out as well as the prospect Il present indicates.

WHY DO WOMEN WANT
TO VOTE?

First-Because they are American
citizens, and the United States consti-
tuition y 1.-The citizens right to-
vote shall not be denied or abridged on
account of ace. color, o. previous
condition Of servitude."
Second-Because they are tax-pay--
ers, and it is a principle OF u gov
eminent that taxation and representa-
ton ought to go together.
Third-Because every citizen should
help select those who make the laws
which he or h must obey.
Fourth-Because every citizen in a.
free republic is entitled to representa-
ton, and no person having but one
vote can represent himself and an
other, even with the latter's consent.
Fifth-Because a vote means power
t the I interests seT Of A themselves. their
children. their homes and society.
Sixth-Because politics, which means
the government. needs the combined
influence of men and women Without
the ballot, woman's influence is in
direct. negative and irresponsible;
Votes talk, votes count, votes compel
respect, votes decide every question.
How Women Vote.
In answer to a set OF questions sent
but by suffragists, n Id and
forty mayors Of cities and towns In
the four Oldest equal suffrage STATES
wyoming, Colorado. Utah and Idaho
and in Kansas, where women had
municipal suffrage at the time. unan-
imously replied; first, that the women
do vote in large numbers; second. that
the women are public spirited and
take an intelligent interest in public
| AFFAIRS; third, that the vote of dis
| reputable women is a negligible factor
Is woman suffrage considered a sue
cess by the states that have it? The
Sun summarized the results of the In
vestigation made by its correspond
| ents. as follows: women who have
| the vote do vote. Their ballot has al
| ready passed a considerable body OF
law. The suffrage states seem to be
! satisfied to have women go on voting"
The legislature of the two Oldest
suffrage states-Colorado and Wyom-
ing-have formally adopted resolutions
declaring woman suffrage to be an un-
| qualified success. The leg ~lslature OF
California has passed a resolution
calling upon congress to pass an
amendment enfranchis1ng all Of the
women of the United States.
Both houses of the Australian par
lament have passed resolutions de-
clarine woman suffrage an unqualified
success in that country.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE BlLCAELD UP

Ut is a significant fact that of the
nearly 800 bills introduced in the
1915 legislative assembly, avery n
had honest treatment-that is. was
PASSED, or failed to pass on roll call.
or was indefinitely postponed by vote;
fected the women Of North Dakota.
The concurrent resolution for the
amendment Of the constitution pro-
viding for woman suffrage, which
passed the Thirteenth legislative as
sembly and was referred by it to the
Fourteenth legislative assembly. was
the one exception to the rule.
On Feb. 10 by a vote Of 81 to IS or
more than two to one, and the socalled
clincher motion applied to it which
prevented it's reconsideration or defeat
by anything less than a two-thirds
vote. The house was more favorable to
outrage han the senate and it was a
toregone conclusion that it would pass
that body.
On Thursday, Feb. 1S. five days aft
Or the bill had passed, Senator Jacob
son moved that the bill be recalled
from the house. where it had had its
first and second reading n been re-
ferred to the committee on elections
and election privileges. This motion
carried by a vote of 26 to %. When the
Olll CdAle JAIN wv liz uouSCs liN
senate not having tho necessary two
thirds vote to kill it, refused. by a
majority vote. to take action upon It.
It should h have gone automatical-
~ back to the house, but the presi-
dent of the senate. Lieut.. Gov. Frame,
refused to let it go. The senate not be-
ing able to kill it. held it, SO the house
npuld not pass it. When the legislature
adjourned the senate was still holding

made. A piece of sheet rubber was
placed over the leak, and a wooden
block was fitted over it, the inner sur
face being curved to fit the pipe. The
block and rubber packing were clamp

stick notched to fit against the pipe
and held by a twisted wire, a block be-

agents sent to scene by local branch

DRY that explosions were not acct

Report, which is not verified, said
that man who was under suspicion
was shot when he tried to escape
from the scene. Great secrecy, how
ever, involved activity Of the officials
and details were refused.
The ground near the plant was so
badly torn up that ambulanCes could
not approach. A heavy pail of smoke
hung over the whole district and in

Philadelphia after nearby towns had
sent all available aid. At this hour
