The women working under the Ma
tional Woman's Liberty Loan Commit
tee in this county have been credited
of Sl34, 10000 and this we feel is an
excellent record. Both the members of
the Gentlemen's Committee and the
Railroad Officials have been very gen
erous in giving all the credit of the
County Drive and the railroad sales
to the Womans Committee and we
fully appreciate this courtesy.
While | know that each and every
worker responded to this call because
1it was the call of their government,
yet ] cannot but add my personal
thanks to every one for the assistance
rendered as it would have been i'm
possible for me as the Chairman to ac-
complish anything without this hearty
backing. To Mrs. j. ID. Gresham,
County Sub Chairman and to Mrs.
Fred Braun, City Chm, tender my
sincerest thanks for their untiring
efforts in this great work. Then to
each and everyone of the women
workers throughout the county I
send my grateful thanks for their
able assistance.
To Mr.. +. c. Beebe and the men,
bers of his committee, to the Band,
and to ell those who furnished cars
for our transportation, want to ex-
press the thanks of the entire Wo-
mans Committee.
The Woman's Committee were not
looking for credits but our sole aim
was to sell as many bonds as possible
and we were all so glad to be able
to help in this great work. We feel
that Quay county has made an envi-
able record for herself in this drive
considering the crop conditions and
! have received message from our
State Chairman saying she was as
proud as we were.
Yours to help win the war,

QUAY COUNTY GOES
OVER THE T0P...MAY
DOUBLE HER QUOTA

Quay county went over the top and
nearly doubled its quota for the Fourth
Liberty Loan. This will be good news
to those who assisted in the drive.
The quota given Quay county was
$l39,300 but on account of drouth con-
ditions this amount was cut forty per
cent, This announcement was receiv-
ed IA day or two ago after we had gone
over the top for the other quota. This
would have made the quota for Quay
county about S83,600. The amount
already subscribed is Sl56,200, so far
aS can be learned. The Rock Island
share has not been learned but when
Vthis county receives credit for same
it is thought the county will have more
than doubled its quota.
The official report shows the follow
ing amounts turned in through the
banks and railroad:

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRH,
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND
HEAD NOISES.

If you know of some one who is troubled
with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises or or,
binary catarrh cut out this formula and
hand 1T to them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. In Englano
scientists for a long time past have recog-
nized that catarrh is constitutional as
ease and necessarily requires constitutional
treatment.
Sprays inhaIers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air passages
and force the disease into the middle ear
which frequently means total deafness, or
else the disease may be driven down the
air passages towards the lungs which Is
equally as dangerous. The<ollowing form
ula which is used extensively in the damp
English climate is constitutional treat
ment and should prove especially efficacious
to sufferers here who live under more
favorable climate conditions.

POLITICS RETURN
Republicans and Democrats
Differ in After. War Ideas.
This May Cause Battle on Par.
tiSan Lines.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Vital differ
ences between Republican and Demo-
cratic ideas about after the war con-
structiop policies today forecast the
return of politics to congress.
Upon war measures, both parties
have stood together in large degree
in the interest of victory. But in
formulation of domestic peace policies,
party leaders today pointed out no
such demands for unity can be made.
They predicted a bitter fight over
the Overman reconstruction bill. It is
conceded that Democrats will line up
behind the >Overman bill, while Re
pubEcans as staunchly support Sena-
tor Weeks's plan for a joint congress
sional reconstruction committee.
The Weeks resolution and the Over
man bill differ chiefly as to the
method of working out peace policies.
the Republicans-say it's
CONGRESSES job. Overman-and the
Democrats-say it is the presidents.
When it gets details of the RECONSTRUCT
ton program number of questions
are sure to cause stubborn partisan
fights.
Tariff Is Ono Issue.
The tariff is one issue-control of
merchant marine is another. Repub-
licans will insist on tariff protection
after the war against foreign competi-
ton. They also will take a strong
hand on the question of government
versus private ownership of the mer-
chant fleet now building. Democrats
have quite as decided views.
Other questions to be settled are
control of the railways now in govern
ment hands and of the telegraph, tele-
phone and wireless, also under federal
control. III
The first combat will occur when
the senate Judiciary committee takes
up the Overman bill and the Weeks
resolution within a few days Re
publicans on the committee will strive
to keep Weeks's measure from the
pigeon hole.

National American woman's Suffrage

National American Woman's Suffrage
asso citation.
Doctor Shaw Praises Wilson.
Doctor Shaw spoke of the great
service rendered to the woman's cause
and concluded by saying that the pres
ident might rely upon the women of
the United States for any service which
they conld render at any time. in any
place where they might follow his
leadership. Both Doctor Shaw and
Mrs. Gait dwelt upon the fact that no
such recognition has ever been given
their cause before and that they were
proud that the president of the United
States should be the first great ma
tional leader to make the cause OF
justice to women his own cause.
The president replied briefly. He
did not attempt to conceal the fact
that the disappointment which the
suffragists felt over the defeat of their
amendment was shared by him and
he spoke with a frankness that showed
them that he had enlisted for the war
and would hereafter be found fight
ing with them, as he had told them
before at Atlantic City.
Among those present were the wives
of some of the senators who have been
most active in the long struggle,
women prominent in many of the diff
ferent states and a few Of those who
have spent long months here working
for the passage of the suffrage reso-
luton.

WORK FOR Loan
Suffrage Leaders Make That
Their Duty Now.
They Thank and Praise Presi-
dent for His Aid.

Washington, Oct. 4.-President Will
son late Thursday gave an audience to
some of the suffrage workers at the
request of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
who is president of the international
as well as the National American
Women Suffrage association, about
fifty women representing all the states
in the Union were in the delegation.
Mrs. Gait said that the women had
come to let the president know how
deeply they appreciated his assistance
to their cause. She spoke briefly of
some of the terrible experiences for
eign women are undergoing. The
president of the Finland suffrage asso-
citation, she said, had written her that
her two brothers had been murdered
by the BoIsheviki. Many other wom-
en- had endured great suffering and
must go on enduring until the end of
the war, but when the war is over
she said that the women of all the
civilized world would find a program
for the days of reconstruction in the
principles the president had laid down
in his speech before the senate last
Monday
Finding that the failure of the suf-
frage amendment to pass had aroused
much bitterness in some directions,
Mrs. Gait assured the president that
the National Woman's Suffrage asso-
citation is calling upon all its members
and friends to give their time and their
money to assist in the liberty loan
drive now on, and presented him with
a copy of the appeal sent out. Later
on she said the different states would
send in their manifestations of ap-
prevail in more comprehensive form.

81 ~ A USED Car a.
Used Cars As
Xmas Presents

Just how many used motor cars will
be given as Christmas presents this
year is uncertain, but if the number
runs anywhere near those given in
former years it will be high. Used car
dealers have made arrangements to
take care of all Christmas shoppers in
their line.
After all, used car makes a very
sensible Christmas gift. Numbers of
persons consider it the ideal gift A
used car in the first place, costs much
less to the given than a new car, and
in a majority of cases is as good me-
chemically and looks as well as the
new product. The element of cost,
however, remains the chief factor
among reasons why people should give
used cars as Christmas gifts.
And the person to whom the car is
given generally is delighted to receive
it-as much so as if the car were
fresh from the factory. For if a car
is used, but in good condition and
properly fitted up, most people are
quite content to have it, especially if
it comes as a gift.
A motor car is always welcome
gift from anyone to anyone. And the
used car carries all the advantages of
the gift without the usual heavy price.
