SOLDIERS NOW ENJOY
 LUXURY OF PASTRY

PARIS, April "A (by Associated Press) s).-War-time restrictions on the making of pastry have been removed and American soldiers here are enjoy ing numerous delicacies of the French cuisine. At one of the restaurants fre- quented by Americans the French cook produced several lemon pies but the supply was soon exhausted.
 Before the embargo on pastry was lifted, the American soldiers had to obtain flour from the army commis- sary, and then find French woman to make it into pastry Now the French cooks have a free hand.

NORTH RUSSIA
 MUST BE FED
 BY THE ALLIES

EXCHANGED, March 1 (Corres- pondence of the Associated Press).- High prices and no work have ex- hausted the savings of the peasants and, according to advices reaching the American and other allied food com mittees in Archangel, the world will have to feed and clothe the half mil lion people who live behind the allied lines in North Russia for at least eighteen months.
 Six months ago, almost every peasant family in this district had its secret hoard of banknotes. While in the cities the people were, in many instances, starving, the peasant had money hidden under mattresses, in socks and buried in the ground and hidden away from possible Red Guard raiders were supplies of grain and other foodstuffs.
 In August frost killed most of the meagre acreage of grain that was sown last year in this territory which is mostly forest. The secret food hoards were eaten months ago. Lum- Der mills and other concerns which usually gave employment have been shut down, and the peasant, with no source of revenue, has been digging every day into his money savings to buy the food that came in from abroad when the allies landed. There is no prospect of North Russia feed ing self until the next harvest-and even this is made extremely difficult by the shortage of seed grain.
 The allied food committees in Arch angel are seeking a way to help this population The conditions that pre- vail in this territory among popula- tion of half million are believed to prevail to an equal or worse extent throughout Central Russia, under Bolshevik control.
 The American Red Cross has ceased civilian relief on a large scale in the Archangel district, since this work is to be taken over by the Hoover federal organization, whose representatives, at this date, have not arrived.
 The Archangel Viestnik, comment ing on the situation says: If the northern region desires to be able to subsist on it's own supplies, the nee essary seed grains must be received not later than in four months. If they are not received in that time, the population is either condemned to starvation or they will depend en- tirely upon the allies"
 Relief work among the peasants in the hunger stricken territory along the Murmansk peninsula and on the Arctic Pechora, at this time of the year, is greatly hampered by the ice. An ice breaker with about 700 tons of four, sent to the Pechora district had to return to Archangel, unable to penetrate the ice fields.

Vital Statistics
Moral Is Debated

The summary of vital statistics for
Sumter county for January, on all
births deaths and communicable dis
eases. as compiled by DR.. Bond COM
missioner OF public health, show that
in Americas, where the city was clos
ed during about holt of the month be,
cause of the influenza epidemic, the
births and deaths were equal in num-
Der, 12, while in the county outside
of Americas, the deaths were almost
double the number of births, or 21 to
II.
Those who favor closing in the city
argue that this report is confrma-
tion of the claims for isolation, while
those who oppose closing as means
of combating influenza point to the
fact that the county is more sparsely
populated than the city. even when
the city is closed. and that gatherings
of all kinds have be n very few as
compared with the city.

joyed by the average business man.

wish barely making ends meets in
the opinion OF MIR. Stackhouse, who
says that hereafter the cotton farmer
is rightly going to demand a reason
able profit upon his investment, to-
.gether with fair pay for his individ-
ual labor. The tenant houses on
cotton farms are many of them almost
inhabitable, he said, and this is almost
wholly because the farmers have been
unable to construct more comfortable
and substantial structures from the
profits of their labors. The only reme-
dy for these conditions is substan-
tial reduction in acreage, he believes,
and this must be done in connec-
ton with a staunchly sustained
and general holding movement, if a
profit is to be realized upon the cot
ton now in the hands of the farmers,
and, indeed, if a great sectional dis
aster is to be averted.
Mr.. Stackhouse said: Il shall pre-
pare my lands as usual by cotton
production on my farm will be SUBJ
stantially reduced" He is already
one of Sumter's famous advocates Of
diversified farming and since coming
here few years ago from South Caro-
lima has ranked among the most pro-
gressive and substantial residents of
the entire community. He heartily
endorses the action taken by the Ma
con convention, and will support the
effort to organize Sumter's farmers
as unit in upholding the action taken
there yesterday.
Following is a partial report of the
meeting as reported by the Macon
Telegraph:

cents pound.
They determined that the 1919 crop
shall be curtaiIed SO 1-3 per cent. and
embodied in the same action was the
resolve that cotton growers shall or

they were in the Liberty Bond and

big cotton holding acreage-reducing
convention at Macon yesterday re-
turned home last night. They declar-
ed it a most enthusiastic meeting,
which was attended by men of real
importance from all parts of the state
men of affairs, and confident that
good in solving the South's cotton
problem will come out of it. Those
who attended the meeting from this
county were: N. A. Ray, chairman of
the board of county commissioners;
Thos G. Hudson, former commissioner
of agriculture; DR.. Peter F. Bahnsen,
state veterinary; W. H. Myers, of the
18th district; r. P. Stackhouse, Chas.
L. Ansley and Joseph Perkins, secre-
tary-manager of the Chamber of Com
merce.
Resolutions were passed with en-
thusiasm favoring the holding of all
cotton for 35 cents; favoring the re-
duction of the acreage this year by
one-third; demanding legislation look
ing to the regulation of cotton ex-
changes, and asking the President to
have the embargo against cotton 60
ing to enemy countries removed.
1T was very enthusiastic meet
ing" said Mr.. Perkins today. Be
tween 500 and 1000 were present,
and if it had not been for the very
bad roads everywhere there would
have been a tremendous crowd, for a
number of kilograms were read from
men in various parts of the state who
told of having auto parties made up
which could not make the trip.
Probably the most important thing
done was the action favoring the re-
duction of acreage this year. 1t is
proposed to form an organization in
every county in Georgia and sign up
every farmer on adefnite pledge to
reduce his cotton acreage this year
by one-third. We expect to have such
an organization in Sumter county,
with chairman to be appointed by
Commissioner of Agriculture Brown.
Reduction of cotton acreage will be
made patriotic duty, just as the Lib
erty Loan support was made pa
.triotic duty. If that plan is carried
out thoroughly and throughout all the
cotton producing states. the South
will have the cotton situation in its
own hands"
R P. Stackhouse another member
of the delegation, said he believed
substantial good would come from the
gathering. Cotton is the currency OF
the South, and it is the moral obliga-
ton of this section to produce suffic-
lent cotton to meet the world needs, /"
he said, but this cotton should not be
raised or sold at price less than the
cost OF production Mr.. Stackhouse
then explained that cotton farmers
never have made a sufficient profit
upon their staple pro5uc.. nor realized
return upon their investment that

NATIONAL SUFFRAGE
MEMORIAL ADOPTED
BY VOTE OF HOUSE
LOWER CHAMBER AT HELEN A
ASKS U. S. SENATE TO SUB
NIT AMENDMENT.

Helena, Jan. 15.-Under special or
der of business and with but two dis
senting votes, the house of represent
atives today adopted memorial call
ing upon the senate of the United
States to pass the measure now pend
ing before that body for submission
to the various states of an amend
ment to the constitution extending
equal suffrage to women.
At a roll call, with but two men,
bers absent, and not voting, every
member present, with the exception
of two, voted for the memorial,
those voting in opposition being d.
M. Kelly and E. T. Mooney, both of
Silver Bow.
The memorial had come in from
committee, with the recommendation
that it pass. The report was adopt
ed and later was taken up by the
house in committee Of the whole with
Lennon in the chair. There was no
discussion and only the necessary
formalities were gone through. The
memorial, introduced by Hathaway
and ingalls,, the two women members
of the house, follows:
ITO the Honorable Senate Of the Uni
ted States Of America:
"Your memorialists, the members
[of the Sixteenth legislative assembly
of the state of Montana, the senate

In Precinct No. III slips were found

istration.
In Precinct No. 62 Joseph Hicks,
Arthur Hicks and Ed Hicks are list
ed as voting from 681 s. Clark street,
There is no such number, the last
house number being CAT.
In Precinct No. 70, 13 persons are
listed as voting from the county hos
pital when the hospital records show
that these persons left in October.
Only Minute Portion.
This brief recital does not begin to
cover the irregularities cited in the
bill of particulars. There are cases
in which persons not registered at all
were allowed to vote, cases in which
wives were evidently allowed to vote
for their husbands and vice versa,
hundreds of cases in which signatures
on the registration books and cleo
tion register do not agree.
The examination of the books must
have already cost several hundred
dollars. The committee of privileges
and elections takes the stand, how
ever, that no case has been made out
yet, and that if the contestants ex-
pect to make the legislature believe
that any frauds have been committed
the contestants must undertake fur
ther expense that may amount to
thousands of dollars.
Farmers of Montana are not par
ticularly interested in which ticket OF
legislators is elected from Silver Bow
county. But they are interested in
fair elections. If, two years from now
when the farmers have a full elec-
tion ticket up, 1900 fraudulent votes
are allowed from Butte and a proper
tionate number from every other town
and city in the state, it can be seen
that thi swill impose quite a little
handicap to be overcome.
If farmers of Montana are interest
ed in fair elections, and want the Sill
yer Bow frauds investigated, instead
Of being "whitewashed," it is suggest
ed that they get few letters out to
their representatives in the legisla-
ture.
Following are the names of the
members of the house committee on
privileges and elections, which has re-
fused to investigate the Silver Bow
frauds:
E. H. Cooney, of Great Falls, chair
man; Representatives Silverman of
Lewis & Clark, Broderick of Broad
water, Middleton of Rosebud, Sulli-
van of jefferson, Stewart of Meagh-
er, Crouch of Gallatin, Mccormick of
Missoula, Black Of Toole and Fuller
Of Custer. Only the last named three
men were in favor Of investigating
the frauds.
Farmers might also drop letters to
their own senators and representa-
tives, telling them what YOU think
Of fair elections and whether the leg.
islature Of Montana is performing its
full duty to the state in telling con-
testants to go into the courts, at the
expense Of thousands Of dollars, to
"make out case."
