counterpart of the siege of fortified city,
the most difficult of all war problems
1t is time to recognize that our allies and
ourselves have done, and are now doing, work
far more wonderful than Germanys in eff
cheney and spirit and result.
Let us say SO, then, upon every possible oc-
casion and let US make every doubling spirit
and every gloomy foreboder whom we meet sec
and acknowledge the truth of our conviction
So shall we help to win the war; for we
shall be helping to inspire the whole nation
with the high, unfatering singing courage
that makes victory sure.
If you or | or any one know of a woman
who is not doing what she might to help with
the war-and with shame it must be confessed
that there are selfish, Indifferent women,
usually women Of more or less wealth. who
have as yet scarcely turned a hand toward
war work of any sort-it is our sacred duty to
make that woman realize what she ought to be
doing and to sec that she does it!
These arc all things that need tremendously
to be felt and thought and said and done by
every one of us every day that the war lasts.
Every woman can help tremendously by feel
ing and thinking and saying and doing them
and others of similar import.
Let us, every one, cherish within our
breasts, as our own secret slogan, the
thought:
Keep a level head and a high heart!

Sparks From the Suffrage Anvil

frage Association are constantly on the Job
And when considers that Mrs Wads-
worth and the anti-sufragists rely upon
him the rock of ages for their cause-if
indeed antisuffragc could be called a cause
one almost has compassion for the harassed
man. Almost.
Senator Charles B. Henderson, the Senator
newly appointed by Governor Boyle in place
of the late Senator Newlands, has announced
that he is for woman suffrage by the Federal
route. and promises that he will fight for the
political freedom Of American women because
he does not "consider that persons are free
unless they have voice in the government
under which they live"
A bill to enable the women of Texas to vote
at primary elections will be presented to the
State Legislature by the sufragists of the
Lone Star State at special session Of the
Assembly, to be called soon. They ask for
right of participation only in the primaries
because, as in Arkansas and other one-party
states, the primary practically determines the
result of the final election.
The Texas women also plan to support a
measure to enfranchse sailors and soldiers on
duty, as Texas law makes no provision for
men serving in military service Which is
rather scrappy of them, when they have fight
of their own on their hands.
German suffragists, who began a renewal of
hostities for the franchise last week, say they
will not quit until their demands are granted
Surprising, just supposing, that the Reichstag
should give the vote to German women, and
that the Senate of the United States should
turn down the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
Conversation about democracy versus autoc-
racy' might lag little.

By SARAH ADDINCTON REID

C ENATOR WADSWORTH, of New York,
~ whose regard for the frail is SO ten
der that he would protect them from the
pitfalls of political enfranchsement, is not to
suffer from inattention on the part of the
voting ladies of New York State this year.
For if there's one thing that suffragists-rad
Gals and conservatives, party-liners and non
partisans alike-agree upon it is that Senator
Wadsworth must take off that old-fashioned
anti-suffrage garment he has wrapped himself
in for 10, these many years, and don the bright,
new 1918 suffrage model.
To bring about this desirable end all good
suffragists are taking the reform of the New
duty. The Committee Of One Thousand a
bipartisan group of New York City women,
assembled in meeting last week and framed a
special resolution to Senator WadsWorth, in
which he was asked to put aside his personal
prejudice and get on the suffrage bandwagon,
or words to that effect. This resolution is to
be followed up by a visiting delegation from
the committee, who will go to Washington and
have personal converse with him.
Meanwhile, while the New York City women
lay their plans to keep suffrage before Senator
Wadsworth during his every waking hour, the

Party and the National American Woman Suf-

morale of the country, the whole temper and
quality and amount of the support we give to
our lines of fighting or training soldiers.
1t is necessary to realize our individual re-
sponsbity in these matters and never to for
get that the country is made up of us and our
nelghbors and their neighbors. If you or | or
our ncghbors give up to panic fears, help
10 spread perncious rumors, or forget the
eternal principles of right and justice that arc
America, or indulge in gloomy forebodings, or
IN that hysteria Of censurc that is SO prevalent,
or fail to speak the stern word when it should
be spoken, we are playing into the hands Of the
enemy
1t is quite possible for most of us to do a
great deal toward helping to win and shorten
The war by simply holding our tongues.
This is especially true with regard to the
endless and manifold phases of enemy propa-
sanda that are being circulated, that we arc
all helping to circulate, all over the country.
Its hope of accomplishing something for the
enemy by undermining confidence in our in
Slrumentalities Of war and creating dissension
among us is based, and very astutely, upon that
almost universal tendency of human nature to
believe evil about others and to be quick to
spread suspicion of evil.
We have all been doing it for weeks and
months, swallowing every rumor that came
II on It's way to poison the very sources OF our
nope and faith and courage and unity.

What Happened to the EGGSof1917

ME first scene of the egg drama was laid
i on the farm in the spring of 1917 The
farmer stood out for from 80 to 33
cents a dozen for his eggs on the farm, and
mostly he got it.
And, truth to tell, he needed it, and perhaps
little more, to cover the tremendously in
creased cost of production due chiefly to the
high price of grain and other increased ex-
penses, including labor.
An egg that costs 33 cents on the farm has
cost 38 cents by the time it is safely landed
in the cold storage warehouse. This covers
expense of collecting, transportation, carriage,
ETC.
Then by the time it comes out of cold stor-
age in the fall and winter it is worth about Al
cents, the increase being acquired by the pay
mcnt of storage charges Gao cents per case of
eggs, insurance, interest on investment, ETC.
With 3 cents allowed for Gambling losses
and Scent profit, your 33-cent egg is worth
at least AZ cents before the retailer gets it at
all--hence a 50-55 cent cold storage egg be-
comes no longer mystery, but an incxorable
though sad necessity, unless some one along
the line is going to do business at loss or
purely for exercise.
But these only the dry facts and fig
ures-the dramatic happenings behind the cur
tain another story.
Along in the fall it was rumored that all
eggs were to be marked cold storage, that peo-
pie would not pay the big price necessitated
by the extraordinary price paid the farmer
and large quantities of eggs changed hands at
80, 33 and all the way up to 40 cents-the
men who held them suffering from 'cold feet
and breaking taking a small loss
rather than hold on and perhaps take greater
loss later.
This resulted in two disastrous thngs--the
man who is selling eggs at SO cents may
have bought them from his fellow wholesaler
at lower price than this unfortunate paid
the farmer in the spring, may have carried
them shorter time and is now cashing in at
the expense Of the consumer and also OF the
wholesaler who lost his nerve last fall
Moreover, it is we'll known that thousands
Of cold storage eggs have been sold as fresh

Service" to answer inquiries or advise as to

Dealing in Futures:
Dealing in futures is strictly forbidden by
the food administration. Eggs will be bought
daily, carefully examined for imperfections,
and delivered at once.
Therefore, the price eggs for future de-
liveries cannot be quoted exactly, but it will
always be the actual net wholesale COST plus 3
cents dozen; on butter, 8 cents pound The
amount will be shown on the bill delivered with
the order, and will be notably less than the
normal retail price, though the exact price
will vary with the market and the time of the
year.
Here are some of the future phases of the
plan that be discussed:
1t is intended to have all the work, as far as
possible, done by women. From the Gambling
of the eggs to their delivery by motor truck
girls at fair wages will be employed. Even
the chaufeurs will be women if they can be
obtained.
If the plan grows, special offers on staple
products, such potatoes, canned goods and
coffee will be made from time to time, the oppor-
tunity being scheduled in The Tribune in time to
allow ORDERS 10 De sent by mail or telephone and
included in the regular deliveries.
What Makes the Offer Possible:
knowledge Of the exact cost of distribu-
ton of these products, extending over a period
of twelve years, is the basis of this plan, COM
bined with willingness to accept a cent profit
per dozen or pound for the amount of service
rendered.
The belief that sufficient number of intel
ligent women will be ready to assume some re-
sponsibility and take some trouble to effect
saving of this kind warrants the small profit
per package by assuring large bulk of bust
ness.
This is not philanthropy-it is something
much better: sound solution of public ser
vice problem, to which all contribute some eff
fort and sacrifice, and from which all receive
gain.
If the plan seems impractical it is because
the buyer does not realize the expensiveness
of the service rendered by the jobber and re-
taller in breaking large packages repacking
in small containers, and paying clerks and de-
livery expenses on small quantities, such as
half pound of butter dozen eggs.
The whole magic of the economy lies in ham
ding smaller units than twelve dozen eggs
and in delivering these at stated periods only
This plan cuts out the "ost motion" in food
distribution.
