SUFFRAGE MEASURE
NOW FACES DEFEAT

Washington. Sept 29.---The leaders
of the suffrage organizations are to-
night contending for record vote of
the senate on the suffrage amendment
even in the face of certain defeat.
This is distinct change OF attitude
on the part Of the National Woman's
Suffrage association. which has hith-
erto been content with postponenent
of vote from time to time, till the
passage of the measure could be as
.ured
There only can be one meaning in
the stand of the suffrage leaders for q
vote that viii defeat the measure and
that Is to definitely peg the opponents
OF the woman suffrage amendment so
that they may go out and attempt to
encompass their defeat and put only
suffrasg sympathizers on guard In the
senate.

the Salaries
Tupelo. Mississippi,
October 9, 1918.

Brother Laymen:
During the period Of excite
ment and interest over the
World War we are prone to over
look one important matter, to
which 4 beg to call your atten-
ton.
Prices of everything will
average 100 per cent higher than
three years ago, thereby work
ing a hardship on those people
whose salaries have not in
creased, commensurate with the
high cost of living, especially is
this the case with fully three
fourths of the pastors in the
Aberdeen District,
AS your District Lay Leader.
| want to especially urge every
layman in every charge in the
Aberdeen District, to realize the
urgent need of his pastor for
more money in order that his
obligations may be fully met,
and to exert yourselves to the
utmost in endeavoring to in
crease your pastors salary, at
east Is percent over the salary |
IF 1917.
This is a small request, and
every layman should proceed to|
give this his attention at once,
for know that there is not a
pastor in the Aberdeen District
out that needs this increase, and
needs it badly, and needs it now. |
Yours truly,

District Lay Leader.

BUILDING MORALE
OF JEWISH TROOPS
Work OF Jewish Welfare Board Pro-
ducing Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches

No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than by the
Jewish Welfare Board. which is en-
gagged in it's task Of keeping up the
lines OF communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training camps and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the struggle Of
morale against ''kultur" the American
army has every advantage that will
Insure success, the Jewish organiza-
ton II making its chief issue the
stiffening of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers Of The Hebrew
faith. The oall for workers is urgent
and rabbis, professional men, Journal
lists. social workers and others are
entering the service of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to I'LL the ranks.
