recently a mixed audience was in at
tendance, when one of the speakers,
pausing for a moment to let the eff
feet of his words sink in, lowered his
tone and asked impressively but
quietly: what can be more sad than
man without a country?" "A
country without a man." replied a
hard-featured unmarried lady in the
audience.

think you know, heartily in sympathy
with YOU. / have endeavOred to assist

This was President Wilson's reply to
Democratic women of the National
American Woman Suffrage association
who went to the White House to ask
him TO use his influence to bring about
a vote on the fedaral suffrage amend
ment before the November elections.
Two hours afterward, before crowd

ans party stood on the base of the La
fayette statue, opposite the White
house. and burned "scrap of paper"
containing the presidents words. :

tries board has completed it's inquiry
into the general cotton situation.
During the investigation separate
committee of three, soon to be named,
will buy cotton for use of the United

prices to be approved by the president.
Since most of the cotton of the coun-
try is required for war uses, this gov
eminent buying is expected to stabilize
prices.

NEEDS I BILLIONS
FOR BIG i. S. ARMY
War Department Asks Congress
to Provide Huge Sum.
100000 IN FRANCE SOON
Estimate Based Upon Plans for Hav-
ing Large Force Overseas and
100000 Men in Training
by Summer.

Washington, Sept. 18.-COngress was
asked by the war department to pro-
vide $7,347, 100000 in addition to pre-
vious estimates for carrying out the
enlarged military program for the COM
ing year.
The new estimate is based upon
plans for having nearly 10000 Amer
lean soldiers in France next summer
and another million in training at
home. 1t brings the money sought for
the army in the fiscal year up TO more
than $24,OOOO 100000, including the reg
ular appropriation bill of some ST.
OOO,OOO,OO0 and a Notifications bill
carrying more than 100000 600.
Ordnance estimates of $685., 1874 $50
are the largest items in the bill now
proposed. They include fortifica-
tiOns, field artillery, small arms, motor
cars and ammunition.
Years Expense $4,000, 100000.
The total expense of the government
during the year are expected to be pc
tween $50 ZOO, 100000 and $36,OOO,OOO.-
600. Appropriations now total $780,
791 ,241, 773, including $5,462, 6oO,34O or
contract authorizations. In addition,
the shipping board is expected soon to
ask for several hundred million.
Increases asked for indicate the pos
sibility of change in the pending So
OOO,OOO,OO0 war revenue bill when it
reaches the senate. Consumption
taxes, according to congressional lead
ers, seem the most likely to be insert
ed for raising additional revenue.

Beneficial Shorebirds.

All the shorebirds are strikingly
beneficial in their food habits. The
slaughter of these game birds deprives
the farmer of valuable allies against
some Of the worst crop pests. Such
game birds as quail, grouse and pleas
ant take less insect food than the
shorebirds, yet all of them do GER
tain amount of good. Even hawks and
owls have bad name which for the
most part is undeserved, it is said, and
indiscriminate persecution Of these
birds is a serious mistake.
