CAPT. KIDD WAS A HOARDER
Hoardlng Money and Hiding II Does
Nobody Any Good-Buy Bonds.

1t takes very little ingenuity to
"cache" money where the government
can't find 1t. Captain Kidd buried a
lot of his pirate "swag" somewhere
along the Spanish main, where no one
ever did find it-where 1t never did
a living soul any good-never built
hospital-never alleviated human suf-
fering--never helped along the works
Of civilization and humanity - just
dead money: absolutely dead, like the
soul Of the pirate who hid II.
The brave thing now isn't hiding
money.
The only thing that counts In this
terrible time is service.
Service with the colors, or service
backing up the fighters who have Of
fered their lives for the righteous
cause.
Hiding and boarding money is not
service. 1t is the opposite 1T is tax.
ing money out of service. 1t Is spe-
cies Of desertion.
A deserter In the army stands up
before a firing squad and pays the
proper penalty.
A hoarder is a money deserter who
Is entitled to the same penalty.
Sometimes he is merely thoughtless
Sometimes he Is just selfish.
But anyway he is doing a great
wrong to the United States and a dead
Iy wrong to the world and civiliza-
ton.
The world does not need Captain
Kids. Nor does America.
But America does need 20,0O0,0OO
more Liberty Bond buyers.
II you have any money slowed away
out of sight bring 1t out and have II
changed into the most useful Of all
Scrms-fourth Liberty bonds.

In days gone by dire accusations
were brought against women who
dared nurse an ambition to have a
voice In the government of their
country. Every unlovely epithet in
the English dictionary-and there are
several-was bestowed upon them.
They were home-wreckers, child
haters, family destroyers. But year
by year woman suffrage was tried
out, country by country, state by
state, and 10! II was discovered that
woman was using her vote. not to
wreck the home. TO protect 1t; not to
the hurt Of children, to their great
good: not to destroy the family, TO
strengthen and secure IT, So wide
spread has been the discovery that
opponents of woman suffrage no long
er dare make these charges save in
backwoods places-Or places that
they consider backwoodsy. In view
of the facts, ii is TO flout the intelli-
gence Of community TO tell II that
to give woman the right. TO protect
her home and her children by vote
is to make her hate home and chill
dren. Every time and everywhere
that woman gets chance to vote she
proceeds to use that vote for the
benefit of home and children. Con-
slider the record:
Over 100000 babies die every year
in the United states before they are
one year old. The National Conser-
walton Commission estimates that an
individual is worth $4,000 to society.
At this rate the 100000 babies repre-
sent yearly loss of $S70,0O0,000 to
the United States.
Five countries have a lower infant
death rate than the United States.
They are New Zealand, with an infant
death rate of 80 per 1000 births Nor
way, 6S per 1000; Australia, ~ per
1000; Sweden, y per 1000, and
France. 7S per 1000. The women in

KOUSEKEEPER
NEEDS The Vote
Ballot Is Necessary to Protect
the Home Under Changed
Conditions.
W0MAN'S VOICE Is NEEDED.
Michigan Voters Will Have an Oppor-
tunity to Change One-Sided
State of Affairs on
November 5.

Housekeeping today is not what 1t
used to be.
One hundred years ago our great
grandmOthers spun the cloth and
made the clothes for the family. They
employed the family cObbler for Il
week at a time, who made shoes for
the year from leather cured and
tanned on the premises. They baked
the bread, churned the butter, cured
the meat and made the candles; I'm
short, housed Under their roofs all
the activities that ministered to the
necessities and comforts of the fam
lily.
Today all these processes are car
ried on outside of the home. The
shoes are made I'm factories, the
clothes go through the sweatshops,
the meat is cured by big companies,
the bread is made at the bakeries,
and the butter comes from the cream
cries.
Instead of living in houses open on
all sides to the sun, we have the tene-
I0eUI nOuse lnSledu VI water directly
from well or spring, we have piped
water; instead of the simple problem
Of letting the small amount of gar
bage decay in the sun, we have the
vast problem of city's disposal.
All of these matters of food, clothes.
housing, water and garbage are sub.
ject to legislation. The state has
taken the place of the parents. The
question of regulation of all of these
matters so vital to q housekeeper Is
one Of collective opinion, expressed by
the ballot.
Michigan has settled her municipal
housekeeping problems by the colec-
tive opinion of men only. Women,
the natural housekeepers and home
makers. SO far, have not had an OPP
portunlty to make their opinions felt
through the medium of the ballot.
Michigan voters, IL Is predicted, will
change this one-sided state of affairs
on November 8 by voting for woman
suffrage

LOWEST infant DEATH RATE
IN FULL SUFFRAGE COUNTRIES;
BALLOT SAFEGUARDS The Home
New Zealand, First Country to Grant Suffrage
to Women, Has Lowest Infant Mortality
Rate in the World-Women Use Ballot to
Further Legislation for Home and State

all five countries leading the list now
have full or municipal suffrage. WO
men have had the' vote in New Zea-
land for twenty years and New Zea-
land has the lowest infant death rae
In the world.
In the United States, California,
full suffrage state, is the banner Baby
State. 1t has the highest birth rate
in the Union, and very low death
date. One of the lowest infant death
rates In the United States, Az, is in
Berkeley, California.
In Portland, Oregon, the infant
death rate is 55.1 per 1000 births; in
Spokane, Washington, 57.7. Kansas
has reduced its rate from 100 to 20
since it adopted a Public Nursing AS
ISOLATION. in 1913. Washington gave
women the vote in 1910, California in
1911, Kansas and Oregon in 1912.
When, of all the civilized world, the
country that has had woman suffrage
the longest has the lowest death rate,
and the countries with the next low
est rate all have woman suffrage, can
there be a doubt that woman suffrage
helps TO bring about better and health
Ter living conditions for all the peo-
pie?
Isn't 1t evident that when mothers
are represented in government and
their opinions and interests are con-
suited, babies have a better chance?
Isn't it proved that women with the
ballot do not neglect their homes and
babies?
Giving the ballot TO women not only
helps them to do their own work more
effectively, but actually increases tRe.
wealth Of the nation, both in maa1
power and in dollars and cents.
Michigan voters have it in their
power to confer great service upon
the homes of their own state and the
homes of the nation by voting for
the suffrage amendment November 8.

AMERICANS FROM ALL
LANDS HELP LOAN
Folk Songs, Dances and Sports In Gala
Effort Of Foreign Division Of
Four Liberty Loan.

English by chorus of more than thir-
ty persons, none Of whom are of the
same nationality and most of whom
are foreign-born; the "roll call of ma
tions." directed by the only simon.

ic demonstrations Of the history.
sports. art and industries Of the peo-
pies of every corner of the world |;
unique displays of the quaint customs
and habits Of many races differing
widely In almost every way; these and
many other striking features have
been taken unto themselves by the
woman's council of the fourth Liberty
loan organization as part of their
share In raising the billions for the
fourth loan. To handle this work COM
mittees of foreign-speaking women
have been formed In every state, coun.
ty and other subdivision. The loan
opens September % and continues I'M
til October 10.
According to Felix ]. Streyckmans,
federal reserve director Of the foreign
language division, and Mrs. Constan-
tine Howard, executive secretary of
the woman's council, some idea Of the
stupendous task which the women Of
the foreign division have set out for
themselves can be gained from the
fact that virtually all that the mem
bers of their choruses and other par
Elephants in the pageants which are
to be given have in common is that
they are all Americans now.
In placing before the public the roll
call of nations" every nationality In
each district, state, county, city and
town will be asked to designate one
person to represent that nation in the
dress Of his Or her native land. They
will also be asked to sing their native
airs or relate some of the folk lore Of
the country which they or their an
cestors left. Native dances, sports
and games will also be on the pro.
gram.
The food question being one Of the
most important before the world to-
day. the women of the foreign-lan-
guage division believe that there is
much to be learned from cOnserva-
ton and economic standpoint from the
foods used and methods of prepare
ton employed in the kitchens Of the
foreign-speaking woman. To this end
every nationality represented in a
community is to prepare food exhib-
it to show English-speaking Ameri-
cans how they can save to help win
the war.
That the all-American choruses, roll
calls, pageants and exhibits shall have
proper artistic setting. the woman's
council has secured the services Of
Pierre Nuyttens, celebrated Chicago
artist, as consulting director Of the
council Nuyttens will also be chair
man Of the councils committee on pro
duction of spectacles.
"There is no greater force toward
the final welding of the American soul
than by bringing together for patri-
otto purposes the foreign-speaking
persons of the country" says Mrs
Howard.

to determine at any time the speeds at
which his machine is running.
A thrashing machine cannot be ex-
pected to do good work unless the belt
ing and pulleys are kept in good condi-
ton. The speed at which the different
parts should run and the power re-
quired to drive them are carefully cak
culated.
Running Leather Belts.
All leather belts should be run with
the grain or hair side next to the pull
ley. The outside of a.belt must stretch
a little every time 1T goes over a pull
ley, and, as the flesh side is more elias
tic than the hair side. the belt will
last longer If run in this manner. Also
the grain side is smoother and Will
transmit more power because it brings
more surface into actual contact with
the face OF the pulley. A leather belt
which has become dry and hard can
be made soft and pIiabIe again by
cleaning 1t thoroughly and applying
neat's-foot oil, castor oil, or some other
reliable belt dressing.
The lacing of belt should be such
that 1t will pass over the puFIeys with
little or no shock or jar. A 1acing
should be fastened otherwise than by
tying knot, especially IL the belt runs
over an idler or tightener.
Service of Separator
The total amount of service which
separator will give depends more than
anything else upon the care and oIIing
of the bearings. This Is especially true
of steel separators. Before the ma
chine is started on the seasons work.
it is imperative that 1t be gone over
carefully to see that all journals and
boxes are in proper shape and p1enfi-
fully supplied with oil. Since the sep
arator has so many parts which move
at high rate of speed, and the whole
machine is subject to constant strain
parts that are not perfectly solid and
tight are almost sure to give trouble
before the season is over. The failure
of any one part will stop not only the
machine, but the entire thrashIng crew
| as we'll.
