238 DEMOCRATIC WHITE WOMEN
 PAY POLL TAX

 Women This Afternoon.

Already 23S Jefferson county wonl- en have paid the poll tax, and will be able to cast their ballots in the first Democratic primary election that might be held after the Riggs woman suffrage act goes into effect on June 30.
 Because it has been announced that the women may continue to pay the poll tax until June 30, without having to pay the delinquency penalty, it $ expected two or three times as many women will pay the tax by that date. as have already paid it. Officers and members of the Jefferson County Po- litical Equality league are exerting every effort to have 1,500 or 1000 women in all pay the tax before June 30, so that when they will have an opportunity to voice their opinion at the ballot box, they will be numeri- cally of such strength as to be q strong factor in the contest.
 The mass meeting Of women of the city and county, to be held at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon at the assemb- ly hall of the chamber of commerce, will take steps for the organization u d COuuIy CCAll dA COIilLAlCtCC, WA1SA will immediately perfect and proceed to carry out plans for thorough canvass of the county, to the end that every woman in the city and county may be urged to pay the poll tax and thus qualify herself to become a voter.
 The mass meeting will be held under the auspices of the. Jefferson County Political Equality league, of which Mrs. T. B. Gillespie is the president. Mrs. Gillespie will pre- side County Clerk c. M. Nichol and Secretary Frank iMilner, of the Demo- cratic County Central committee have been invited to attend and have accepted, to explain to the meeting the terms of the new primary elec- tion law, and to tell the women floX Y to go about the matter of reforming their organization according to the law on the subject.

KEEP FIT AND FEEL FINE

Foley Cathartic Tablets are a wholesome physic that thoroughly cleanse the bowels, sweeten the stom- ach and arouse the liver. For indi- gestion, biliousness, bad breath, bloat- ing, gas, or constipation, no remedy is more highly recommended. Sluggish bowels are the direct cause of many ills and the indirect cause of many more. Undigested food poisons the whole system. Don't be careless. See that your bowels are regular. Keep fit. Then you will feel fine.

with him, married a man at Black
hawk and later returned 20 Wales but

However, an advertisement in Lou
Islana papers was noticed by an old
planter who lived across the river
from the home of w. B. Lloyd, who is

He took the paper over, and advised
Lloyd TO consult an attorney. This

had been placed by Lloyd in the hands
of Geo. Hetherington of Gunnison- Mr..
McDougal was satisfied beyond doubt
that Lloyd is a nephew.
Harry Lloyd had a brother Frank
who was wounded in the battle of
Port Hudson and died soon after An
other brother, John Bolton Lloyd, was
the father Of the nephew, but his
mother died eight days after his birth
and his father shortly after. He was
then brought up by a grandmother,

had died, and another who had been
sent TO Wales as boy, and also sup

to where they were born, etc, and
other data, with proof gathered from

accumulated in the Gunnison hills by
a relative, long supposed dead.

WASTING OUR TINE TO
SAVE K. X. DIVIDENDS

When a bunch Of so-callcd efficiency
experts become so muddled as to
think such efficiency is promoted by
running double weight trains at one
fourth the speed. plus resultant break
downs. wear and tear and over time
for the employees, it is time the gov
ernmcnt took them over.
This spasm of the traffic managers
is the real cause of the rail tie-up.
Even If the overloaded trains resulted
in slight saving of coal and wages,
WHICH Is doubtful the loss of time
caused by slowing up Of movement is
so terrific that it becomes a crime
against business. But here is the rub.
The saving by these overloaded, snail
speed freight trainS-if the experts
can figure 4 saving-is to the pocket
books of the eastern bankers and
stockholders. The loss of time to bus
mess doesn't affect them. 1t comes
out of the other fellows pocket-the
pockets of the public. and we have as
result. congested business, disaster
Gus coal shortage and serious dan
ger to war plans.
They are tonnage crazy.
A few years ago the c. & S. used
to run stock trains from Gunnison
to Denver in l3 hours. The Rio
Grande tried to compete and officials
were very proud when they made it
in little over fourteen hours. Today
the stockman is fortunate who can get
thru in As hours and from that it
takes to 60 and 72 hours.
Saving of coal--a little. Savings
of wages-perhaps but doubtful.
Waste sinful, criminal waste OF
the nations time, but note that it is
the public's time, not that of stock
holders of the railroad.
A few years ago one could shiI
freight to and from Montrose, Paoni;
or Delta in a few days time. Th'
freight made a round trip in day i

days, two weeks, to get coal, wheat
apples, provisions, everything over tn
route. A car of coal recently shipped
from Somerset to Montrose, is report

Seventeen stations are engaged in
training men for the Navy, and Mar
ines are being turned out in three
more.
Not all the Aviation Fields have
been finished-but in a dozen of them
cool-headed young men are being
taught to fight in the air.
Nine camps have just rounded of
the second increment of officers for
the Reserve Corps.
Five medical camps are in opera
ton, and three camps for engineers.
All of the larger camps have been
built in the last six months. The lar
gest the National Army cantonments,
were built in three months at total
over twice as much was required to
build the Panama Canal-and that
took ten years.
Something between six hundred and
seven hundred million of feet of lum-
Der went into the National Army cam
tonments. The figure for all the
army camps is about one billion feet.
In POPULATION the camps range from
300 to 4I,000.
The men in a flying camp may know
one another as men know one another
in a small college. One of the larger
cantonments, on the other hand, con-
tain as many men as are in a city Of
Denver between the ages of 81 and
As.
Living conditions in the camps may
not be quite up to the top of the high
American standard. But it can safely
be said that no large army of soldiers
was ever housed SO comfortably be-
fore. There will be no freezing this
winter. Four Of the cantonments sit
uated farthest north have steam heat.
The rest have to put up with hot air
systems. But an American Army
spent a winter at Valley Forge once
without even a hot air system.
