A SUFFRAGE RALLY
ANNUAL MEETING AND ELECTION
NEXT SATURDAY

The Mahaska county Equal Suffrage
League will hold it's annual election
and the Sixth District Suffrage Rally
at the home of Mrs. ]. A. Dewitt, 1870
c avenue East, Oskaloosa, Saturday,
June s, at noon. All women have
hearty invitation to attend. 1t is felt
quite generally that every patriotic
woman should not fail to do her bit
toward making our democracy consis-
tent by advancing the cause of equal
suffrage. Where there has been an
opportunity to do so the men "over
there" have sent back votes in over
whelming numbers in favor of giving
women equal political rights. England
has given her women suffrage since
the war began and the soldiers feel
that the U. s. owes its women the
same recognition.
Prominent out of town guests are ex-
pected, and as usual, picnic luncheon
will be served.

STAMP SALE
ART oPPENHEIMER HEADS WAR
SAVINGS CAMPAIGN.

Retail merchants of Mahaska coun-
ty are going to make an intensive
campaign to handle stated amount
of thrift and war savings stamps, for
the second half of the year and to that
end an organization is being perfect
ed to accomplish the effort.
Art Oppenhenmer of the Golden
Eagle store in Oskaloosa has been
appointed County Merchant Chairman
for Mahaska, and is authorized and
empowered by the National War
Savings Committee to select and APP
point a director for each town in the
county, to cooperate with him in the
disposition of Savings Stamps. These
directors will take active charge in
their district and see to it that
stamps are placed on sale in all re-
tail stores and that the sale is pushed.
Mr.. Oppenheimer is made responsible
for the sale of stamps in the entire
county.
Retail merchants of America have
been asked to sell one hundred mil
lion dollars in stamps and of this
amount Iowa is asked to guarantee
S2,257,000. This is some task and
only by the closest cooperation and
the proper organizing of clerks and
help can the object be accomplished.
Mr.. Oppenheimer will make imme-
date appointment of his directors in
order that the sale of the stamps by
merchants may be started without
delay.

tain said that he had been detained
at Havana fifteen days because of the
submarines being reported near at
hand
One Sub Reported Captured.
The Postal collector official reports
that they have information which has
been confirmed that one of the sub
marines has been caught and that il
is being taken to New York by the
naval vessels.
The chiefs of staff of the three
naval districts and the commandant
of the Brooklyn yards said that they
had received only vague reports of the
alleged submarine operation.
One Sub Captured.
Boston, June 3.-Reports here this
afternoon said that one of the enemy
submarines had either been captured
or sunk.
1t was also further reported that
one ship has been sunk off Cape Cod.
The port of Princetown has been
closed.
Seven Known To Be Sunk
New York, June 3.-Seven vessels
were reported victims of the German
submarines off the Jersey and New
England coast up to two-thirty o'clock
this afternoon and it is probable that
the list will be increased to fifteen
when the full reports are received.
Despite the heavy sinkings of the
schooners which have fallen victims
of the submarines, officials believe
that the U-boats were sent into the
American waters to attack trans
ports and that their mission has been
entirely failure.
Widely Separated Operation.
The U-boats attacked merchantmen
ships at various points, one of the
schooners being sunk about seventy
five miles off the Western New Jersey
coast and two tanks about one one
hundred and fifty miles out at sea.
The navy department reported two
more schooners were blown up and
the sailors of the Edward H. Cole
steamship said that they saw a sub
marine chasing their steamship.
Washington, June 3.-Two big heavy
armed German submarines sneaking
up on the New Jersey Coast have sunk
three American schooners, shelled the
fourth and destroyed considerable 9th.
er craft.
The three ships were the four-mast-
ed Edward II. Cole, the schooner, ia
cob S. Haskell and another unnamed
sailing vessel.
The navy department received a
wireless S. o. S. call this afternoon,
stating that the Porto Rico steamship
was being attached off the coast to the
south of where the others were sunk.

Asking For Guarantees.

Asking For Guarantees.
Some of the consumers of Iowa
have asked the Fuel Administration
to give them certain guarantees in
the event they store Iowa coal.
Did the American soldier ask his
government for guarantee to be re-
turned safely to America when he
went to fight for his country?Yet, he
ian give the positive assurance that
Iowa lump coal can be slowed equal
ly as well and better than most other
bituminOus coal in this country.
Therefore, Iowa should wake up and
do their duty to the boys who have
gone to capture that ghoulish, fiend-
ish beast from Berlin.

An Atlantic Port, June 3.-TwO tank
ships were sunk by the German sub
marines about one hundred and fifty
miles off Sandy Hook between seven
and eight o'clock last night according
to the Captain of a CanadianP

from its convoy and arrived safely
here today. The liner carried about
one hundred and fifty passengers.

convoy.

When the time comes and our
ships are tied up in our harbors for
want of coal through carelessness
can we say with clear conscience
that we have done our duty? Going
to the station and shouting good
byes" and giving three cheers" is
not very patriotic unless we provide
for them while they are "over there

ahould get behind this coal drive SO
