bacc0 Industry.

New rulings Just received on the
drastic fuel restrictions relieves the
situation considerably as 1t affects the
tobacco towns of Kentucky and there
is great rejoicing in all tobacco towns
today because of the announcement
that the re-drying plants may open on
scheduled time.
Under the original orders it was un-
derstood that the large re-drying
plants in Maysville and other tobacco
cities could not operate because they
could not receive sufficient quantities
of fuel but the new ruling just an
nounced allows them a maximum sup
ply of one car load week. This will
permit the plants in Maysville to open
soon after the loose leaf season opens
on Tuesday and will give employment
to many.
Another modification of the original
order is that stores, shops, etc., may
remain open after in the afternoon
and may open before 8 in the morn
ing If they do not use light, heat or
power.
The orders notifications follow:
Bearing upon the instructions of
the Regional Coal Committee in re-
gard to regulations for conservation
of fuel, printed copies of which were
mailed your office today for distribu-
tion, following additional modification
has Just been made:
This supplement supercedes and
cancels paragraph No. of the Sum-
mary Of Interpretation issued by the
Committee on December 2, with the
hope of reducing the minimum con-
sistent which will safety the discom-
fort and inconvenience which the pub

whether food stores could remain open

.In This Our World,

In the United States 15 states have
granted full suffrage to women; IL,
Presidential suffrage, and 2 Southern
states have granted primary suffrage.
AS the latter are Southern States in
which when the Democratic party has
nominated its candidate 1t is all over
but the shouting; primary suffrage is
equivalent to full suffrage. We have
therefore a total of 20 states where
women will vote or the next presi-
dent; in addition there are IL states
with partial suffrage and only of the
4S states in the condition of Turkey
and Bulgaria where women have no
suffrage. Nearly 20,0O0,00O are now
eligible to votes for the president.
We believe that by the next Presi-
dental election November 1920, all
the women of this country will be vot-
Ing. The Susan B.. Anthony Amend
ment granting woman suffrage passed
Congress after being on the docket
forty years or more, in June of this
year. 1t is necessary that 36 states
ratify this amendment before 1t be-
comes part of our Federal Constitu-
| tion. Already 81 states have ratified !;
of them only at regular sessions of
their legislatures, the other Ia having
ratified at called sessions, most of
them called simply for the purpose of
doing justice to the women of the
United States. Other states have al
ready promised to call special sessions
for the purpose. The Executive Com
mittee of the National Democratic
Party has passed resolution asking
all full suffrage states that have not
yet ratified to call special sessions OF
their legislatures to do SO.
In Kentucky
| The Legislature of Kentucky meets
on January 9Th, 1920. We confidently
expect the ratification of the Federal
Amendment to be one of the first acts
of that Legislature. Both the Repub
lican and Democratic parties have
adopted suffrage planks embracing
ratification Of the Federal Amendment
in their platforms. The new Cover.
nor of Kentucky has long been al
earnest advocate of woman suffrage
and will throw his influence for. Quicl
ratification. Every friend of womer
and justice in Kentucky should throw
his or her influence to bring abou
this ratification We should leave n,
stone unturned.
And in the meantime Kentucky wo
men should accept the act that they
will soon be voters and should pre-
pare themselves to exert the suffrag,
intelligently."
