WIFE SUBS FOR PREACHER
Takes Place of Tired Husband to the
Pleasure of an Overflow
Congregation.

Chicago.-Most married men hear
sermons and are glad they are deliv-
cred in private. But Rev. Q. Fairlee
Jordan, pastor of the Evanston Chris
tan church, probably is one of the
few men who ever sat back in peace
and comfort, listening to a public
preachment by their wives.
Mr.. Jordan faced the task of a
"double-header" after a week of night
IL ser1noning. He was aweary. His
wife sympathized.
"Tll take your place in the pulpit
this evening" she offered. She did,
not only to friend husbands satisfac-
ton, but to the pleasure Of an over

Y. M. C. A. WE FIX.

The people of this community have been called upon to contribute small sums of money for various enterprises which will help. our soldiers at the front and our government. The present appeal for funds with which to give onr boys clean entertainment and sur roundings during their leisure hours which will greatly improve their moral and physical condition is one that cannot pass unheaded.
 In order to carry on this work, which has already reached large pro. portions, every town has organized committees to secure their share of the s35, ,O00,o0 needed. Every cent of this money will be given to the work of the Red Triangle for war purpc ses, and will not go into. the treasury of any local branch of the Y. M. 0. A.
 The soldiers life at the front does not keep him in the trenches all the time. While there he Is subject to all the terrors and devilish inventions which modern warfare under German tutelage has produced. Naturally the soldier seeks an antidote to counteract conditions thusA created upon the ner.

FIRE PREVENTION.

The old saying that an ounce of pre- vention is worth pound of cure, was never more true than at the present time in connection with forest and ether fires. Every year millions of dol lars worth of valuable timber land are destroyed by fire, and the majority of these fires are due to carelessly dropped matches, cigars, etc., by hunters and others who are in the woods. No small number are also due to the sparks from locomotives.
 It is not only while in the woods that precautions should be taken, but especially on farm land and around farm buildings where the inadequate supply of water for fire fighting pur- poses would naturally cause much loss. In times of peace, the loss of barn full of grain and hay, or perhaps a few head of live stock, would be serious matter to the owner but the community would not directly feel this loss. Dur ing the present war crisis the same kind of loss by fire would be felt by all. !
 Every pound of hay, grain or other farm produce, and every stick of tim Der that is lost by fire at the present time, is serious blow to conservation committees and the governments. Don't wait for the fire to come, but see to it now that you have left nothing undone which might feed the flames if fire should break out.

LETTER FROM MRS. SHAW.

The following congratIlstory letter received by Mrs Hitchcock from pr. Anna H. Shaw will interest many of nur suffragist readers.
 "My dear Mrs Hitchcock:-
 Thank you for your very kind letter, full of inspiration and delightful song. You must have enjoyed watching-ss the rest of us d1d-on the night of the election. ana l am sure that TO one could rejoice more over the success in New York than those pioneers scattered from one end of the nation to the other. Our Day has come, and am grateful to have lived to see and take part in it, for it IS not merely one states victory, but tka victory of the whole seventy years of bitter struggle brought to pass by the pioneers and the later recruits together. As we have all worked together for the end which is in sight, we can all rejoice together now. wish might have seen your decorated attic, but am very sure you and your friends enjoyed your jubilee as the returns came in and that it will always hold the glory of the prayers and heartfelt gratitude of one of our best pioneers.
 With sincere regards, believe me,
 Faithfully Anna H. Shaw.

Letters From the People.
THE GLORIOUS VICTORY.

Now that New York state has voted by an overwhelming majority for woman suffrage, we may confidently look for the passing of the Fedora Amendment
 New York was the key to the suff- rage log jam ip the East so to speak ; and now that the key state that held back all the other Eastern states has been pried loose and set free all the other states must perforce swing round into line and go sweeping along on the flood of victory; but to drop metaphor until after the National suffrage con- vention and congress has assembled. The great suffrage parties will adopt Wilson's policy of watchful waiting. AS understand it, everything is up in the air for the present. Local Leagues in Connecticut can do nothing but wait nntil the National and State Leaders decide what to do after congress has decided. It is hoped that the amend. menu will be passed that will enfran. chise the rest of the women of America It is the only just and logical thing to do, 1t would seem. Should it still be withheld, the two great surffage pa-. ties will concentrate, each in its own way on a nation wide drive for the passing of the Federal Amendment.
 It is safe to predict that the small town local Leagues will be merged into consolidated whole, which will be of the greatest happiness and relief to all earnest ardent leaders who have, for years borne the heat and burden of the day. s...
 So let us "carry on" with 8 joyful heart. There will be something tor us to do in new fields. to help win old Connecticut to suffrage Happy are they who can never be called Suffrage slackers Iris they who have carried on" that can hold suffrage jubilees over state victories, and wear the colors-they who have never been quitters.
 We want to close with fine quota tion from splendid editorial in New York Tribune, about the great victory New York Victory.
 "The cause of woman has won & magnificent triumph in the state of New York. We are glad to know that the. effort to bemuddle great issue with petty rancor did not deceive the voters of the state. No small personali- ties, no appeal to mean prejudice touched the campaign of the women of New York.
 It was conducted throughout on the highes. plane of intelligence and patriotism. It was on the broadest grounds that the women made their fight, and it is upon it that they have won their greatest victory.

To the Editor of the News:
 Our army and naval officers are UT gently calling for more knitted articles for our soldiers and sailors and the New Y ork Times for November eIevenh says All the societies together, in- cluding the Red Cross are not turning out more than one tenth, of the knitted garments needed".
 May ask why our American men do not follow the example of the Swiss and Russian men by knitting for their brothers at the front?
 Knitting! A MAN knittingp" I hear some of my masculine readers exclaim.
 Brother, you do not scof at your tailor who makes your quits. nor do you consider your shoe maker as SUD- ject for your derision. The fashioner of your latest neck tie, is he usurping a woman's occupation?
 Is it any more of woman's task, to provide absolutely necessary articles for the warmth and protection of our fighting men than it is Your task, my brother?

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
We Never Again Shall Be Divided y
 Says Wilson.

"By the President of the United States of America.
 "A PROCLAMATION.
 "It has long been the honored GUS tom of our people to turn in the fruit ful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for his many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. That custom we can follow now, even in the midst of the tragedy of world shaken by war and tmmeas. urable disaster, in the midst of sorrow and great peril. because even amidst the darkness that has gathered about us we can see the great blessing God has bestowed upon us, blessings that are better than mere peace of mind and prosperity of enterprise. "We nave been given the opportun. | ity to serve mankind as we once served ourselves in the great day of our Declaration of Independence, by taking up arms against tyranny that threatened to master and debase men everywhere and joining with other free people in demanding for all the nations of the world what we then demanded and obtained for ourselves.
 "In this day of the revelation of our duty not only to defend our own rights as a hation, but to defend also tue rights of free men throughout the world, there has been vouchsafed us, in full and inspiring measure the resolution and spirit of united action. We have been brought to one mind and purpose. A new vigor of common counsel and common action has been revealed in us. We should especially thank God that in sue" circumstances, in the midst of the greatest enterprise the spirits of men have ever entered upon, we have, if we but observe reasonable and practicable economy, abundance with which to surply the need of those associated with us as we'll as our own. A new light shires about us The great duties of new day awaken a newand greater national spirit in us We shall never again he divided or wonder what stuff we are made of.
 "And while we render thanks for these things let us pray Almighty God that, in sll humbleness of spirit, we may look always to Him for guidance; that we may De kept constant in the spirit and purpose of service, that by His grace our minds may be directed and our bands strengthened; and that in His good time liberty and security and peace and the comradeship of a common justice may be vouchsafed all the nations of the earth.
 Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thurs day, the twenty ninth day of Novem- Der next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer and invite the people through. out the land to cease upon that day from their ordinary occupations and, in their several homes and places of worship, to render thank to God, the great ruler of nations.

AN ANTIDOTE FOR GERMAN
 POISON.

In every country fighting against Germany in the present war, agents have been working to undermine the confidence of the people in their govern mentg by circulating reports that, to many, are as thin as the ozone itself. These agents have not been content with poisoning the minds of the people, but have resorted to the most fiendish 2 ts which heretofore were credited only to barbarians among the uncivilized nations of the world.
 The latest reports regarding the sell' ing of poisoned soap in Winsted, while not yet proven, have all the ear marks of the work of German agents. The poisoning of wells, tetanus germs placed in bandages, the making of bombs resembling fountain pens and the spreading of disease among animals, are only few of the hellish inventions to be credited to German scientists.
 Now comes the report that Secretary Tumulty has been imprisoned at Fort Leavenworth which undoubtedly is due Co these same agents of the kaiser and carried by innocent persons from one town to another throughout the coun. try. These fanciful tales are spread with the one idea of weakening conf. dence in officials of the federal govern. me mt.
 No one doubts the fact that these in- siduous propagaudists are working night and day for Germany, and know ing these facts why will so many peo- pie, who are credited with having an average amount of brains, believe these tales, unless their sympathies are with Germany. Every man, woman and child in this country is either for or against the United States. There can- not and will not be tolerated any half way feelings in regard to our relations with Germany or her allies. Former ambassador Gerard says:
 i've should hog every disloy-
 al German American, feed every
 pacifist raw meat and hang every
 traitor to lamp post, to insure suc-
 cess in this war. And our traitors
 are not all German Americans, but
 some men high in public life are
 aiding the Prussian cause. There is
 no dirtier chapter in American poli-
 tics than the crusade of these men,
 whose names you know"
 These measures are extreme and were undoubtedly spoken with patriotic fer. vors, but if America wants to win this war, and there is no doubt but what she will, we must take extreme mea- sures to stamp out sedition, week -kneed patriotism and German spies. The hanging of few traitors and spies would prove the most efficacious anti. dote for German poison in America.
