versity out of the reach of hundreds

Nothing could be more pitifully I'M
fair than that the women, who live
nearer to the great centers Of the
world, that is to say the publishing
centers. should pay half as much as
their isolated sisters pay for a maya
zine. which they need twice as much
as the more favored ones. In the very
families, where the arrival of the
home magazines mean SO much and
where they are eagerly awaited, these
magazines are taxed to point which
makes it impossible for these families
to enjoy them; and more than that,
the lowered circulation will, undoubt-
eddy, in the course of time lower the
amount, certainly, and the standards,
possibly, Of the advertising matter
they carry.
Depends on Congress.
If the congressman and senator's
from these districts realize how much
of the comfort and beauty Of their
homes. the health and education OF
their children. and the pleasure and
stimulation Of their wives and the
wives of their constituents. were go
ing to suffer through the taking away
Of this great educational factor in
their lives. they will be the first to
urge the repeating of this distinctly
uneconomic law. Every girl and wom-
an should use all the influence she
has, domestically and politically, to
bring pressure to bear to have this
law repealed. II she cannot do it by
her own vote she should make It her
business to gain the vote Of every
man within her sphere OF influence:
for il this law is not repealed the loss
of all that the magazines have
brought to women and their homes
will inevitably show itself In the low
cred standards of those homes-stand-
ards which nothing has teadered to
raise and brighten more than these
wonderful monthly visitors, the Ameri-
can magazines.
Repeal this postal zone" law, write
your congressman at once and demand
it's repeal.

Floral Hill Property Owner Brings
Suit in the District Court
Because Of the
Obstruction.
Lots Damaged in Value, Says Petition,
Because the Alley Way Is
Not Opened by
Other.

Spite fences are nearly as old as
the hills but who ever heard OF
spite wire?
Charles A. Shafer claims he has.
And because OF the fact he filed suit
in district court against John A.
Roberts in which he asks for $4,000
damages.
Shafer in his petition says that
Roberts stretched the wire at the
rear OF two Shafer lots in the Floral
Hill district.
The defendant, he says. "wilfully
and maliciously obstructed the alley
in the rear of the lots by stretching
a wire across so as to prevent egress
and ingress."

Aside from the damage he asks the

Shafer alleges that the defendant

his promise.

WILL CONSIDER QUESTION OF
 DEFERRED CLASSIFICATION

Little Rock, Feb. 23.-A conference of Southern commissioners of agricul- ture with the military authorities will open at the Hotel Raleigh, Washing ton, next Monday, for a consideration of the question of deferred classified tion for farm laborers. Commissioner Page, who has just returned from a conference at Memphis, says that all agree a larger per cent of farm labor is being drafted in Class IA than the country can spare, if it is to maintain its standard of production. The com mittee that goes to Washington to lay the matter directly before the authori- ties, will ask that farm laborers be placed in a deferred classification, and that those already inducted into the service be given furlough to return home and make the 1918 crop.
 The resolution providing for the committee of five to go to Washing ton on this mission was introduced by MT. Page at the Memphis meeting. While asking that relief be extended the agricultural classes, mot incon- sistent with the policies of the govern ment in time of war;" the commis- sioners reaffirmed their loyalty to the government land to the prosecution of the war to victorious end,' pledg- ing their faith in and cooperation with the various governmental agen- cies charged with the responsibility of formulating the policies, the rlsing and equipping of the army and pew. and the execution of milit"-- ..1 naval movements and operatio . ,''- dering their cooperation in the fullest sense nj helping solve the problems of production, distribution and conserva- tion."

The bodice is shaped like q short middy and cut from the plaid material with small plaits in each side, stitched down from the shoulder to point where they meet the overlay of plain material.

A few small buttons add just the right kind of finish for a young girls dress.
 The collar is of white organdie or batiSte and is of importance to the dress and to the education of the little maid.

CAMPAIGN PLANS

WOIIldli . OllI 10 OCleaii 1OiiiPSA "aSS Union Convention, Washington, D. C., 1917:
 Elections-Work for the cleo tion to state legislatures of men who will vote for the ratification of the federal prohibition amend ment.
 Funds-Every state to con- tribute at the rate of one dollar per union to the Lillian Stevens Campaign Fund for National Constitutional Prohibition.
 For Prohibition States-Con- centrate on the work for Nation al Constitutional Prohibition rather than initiate new state wide campaigns while patriotic demands are so eXigent. Hold what has been won; make prohi- bition effective through law en- forcement; give wide publicity to the benefits of prohibition; CO., operate definitely with a cam paign state under a plan made by the general officers of the Ma tional w. c. T. U.
 For States in Campaigns The greatest asset for National Constitutional Prohibition is to win additional prohibition states. A pending prohibitory law be- longs to the people and success demands united forces and sub- ordination of all other issues. Use up-to-date methods; make detailed survey of the states re- lation to the liquor traffic; have campaign teams of men and women, speakers and singers i; provide display advertising for unions.
 Educational Campaigns-Em- phasize the necessity of total abstinence; promote universal pledge-signing.
 Channels of Education-Es- say, oratorical, declamatory medal and original poster con- tests; Loyal Temperance Leg ions, Young Campaigners for Prohibition, Young Peoples Branches, Sunday schools, young peoples church societies, speak CTS, literature, the press and "Americanization" plans for the foreign born.
 Demonstrations - Multiply posters, poster parades, poster hikes, and billboards; arrange exercises, playlets, cantatas, pageants, and other spectacular programs; encourage commun- ity singing of prohibition songs !; use exhibits in conventions, win dows and other public places, illustrating the financial and other phases of the drink prob ! lem.
 State Papers-State w. c. T. U. papers to devote space to plans for National Constitutional Prohibition.
 Speakers-Every platform re- presentative of the w. c. T. U. shall be prepared to show that prohibition is patriotism and that conservation of national re- sources demands the destruction of the liquor traffic.
 War Measures-In the inter- est of efficiency, conservation of manhood and material resources it is, first: the duty of every

these:
4. No armistice, unless the Central
Powers consent 10 withdraw their
armies to their own borders.
2. Door ajar TO peace discussions,
provided the Germans will act in good
faith and mean what they say.
3. VIII the Imperial Chancellor say

Government accepts, as a basis for peace

lions laid down on January s.

that tRe Imperial German Government
means what it says and will act in good
faith. lie will say again that IL ac-
cepts the conditions Of peace laid down
by President Wilson-accepts them "as
a basis for peace negotiations"
What then?
1t Is possible that the Imperial Chan
cellor will say for the Central Powers
that they consent to return 10 their
own borders, and then renew their re-
quest for an armistice.
That would have TO be answered at

peace negotiotions" on the basis Of
President Wilson's programme.
Our conclusion is that President Will

not to express the state Of mind in this
country toward a faithless people who
have no word to pledge for anything
and can no more be trusted TO keep an
armistice than to respect white flags
and Red Cross insignia, but TO make II

German people: I'VE have asked in vain
