ception in honor of Mrs. Pru-

been one of the pioneer resi-
dents of Nogales. When the
guests met it was found that
there are still here many ladies
who were, like the guest of
honor, among the first to make
Nogaless their home, and this
added greatly to the enjoyment
of the occasion. They found
great pleasure in recounting in
cidents of the early days when
Nogales consisted of but a few
scattered dwellings,, rudely con-
structed business houses and a
small frame depot building that
stood astride the International
line. Among those present
were the folliwi- g, many OF
whom belonged to the first fam
lies to locate here: Mesdames

Kansas City, Mo-, March 4.-Farm-
ers are jubilant at the prospects of
big wheat crop today. A general rain

KEEP ON IN UKRAINIA
Don't Believe Germany Intends Halt

London, March 4.-Supplementary
treaties between the central powers
and the Bolsheviki government were
signed at Brest-Litovsk in addition to
the main peace treat, according to a
telegram from Brest-Litovsk, by way
of Vienna and Amsterdam, which
gives no details of the treaties.
Formal official announcement of
the signing has not yet been received
from the Russian side but a later
radiogram from Petrograd said the
treaty would be signed Sunday
AS the German official statement of
Sunday night mentions only the cessa-
ton of operations in great Russia, it
is inferred in some quarters here that
the German advance in the Ukraine
and Finland will continue while the
Germans reserve for themselves a free

There will be no rest in Prussia un-
til equal suffrage has been introduced.
The Prussian junkers and their hand
strappers of all shades should no
longer deceive themselves about this;
they should stop playing with fire.
y The men who return from the
trenches have forgotten all fear. Drum
fire has made them fearless. No
where in the first line trenches of the
firing zone have they found places
reserved for voters of the first class.
with each year of war their resolve
has been forged firmer and firmer to
put their lives at stake only for a new
Germany, but never for the protec-
ton of privileges accruing from birth
or purse. .4
The king of Prussi;. has most SOL
EMMY pledged his word to the intro
duction of equal suffrage; the chan
cclior of the empire, the Prusslan
premier. his right hand man, and the
Prussian minister of the interior all
have done likewise.
They have thereby demonstrated
that they do not intend to shut their
eyes any longer to the signs OF the
times. Woe unto those, who prompted
by class egoism, persist in shutting
their eyes to these signs.
Grow I1feu OF DcDdtSS
Tho debate about the questions
whether equal suffrage is timely, just
or necessary is fast becoming almost
as insufferable as the injustice OF the
present system. Anyone who is not
politically blind must admit that equal
suffrage in an election must be as
logical and natural as, after the con-
stitution, all Prussians are said to DC
eu1a's before the law.
