GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN

They are a world of care and trou-
BILE; they bring pain and WEAKNESS and
sorrow, but are worth it all. Do you
remember after that weary cay when
you were harsh and irritable and they
went to sleep with sob, what bright,
fresh faces they brought to you in the
morning? How full of tenderness
and forgiveness children are! How
quick to forget unkindness! How
fine is the intelligence with which
they look beneath the surface and
know that the irritable, nervous,
creature of the night before is not the
real mother, but the serene, gentle
woman of the morning whom they
love with deep devotion. They are
the beautiful examples of the truth
that sorrow may endure for the night,
but joy cometh in the morning. By
their love and brightness they repay
US hourly for every struggle we may
endure for them.

BOOKS NEEDED DESPITE
RAPID TROOP RETURN
Replaceent of Books on Transports
Necessary Throughout Summer
Because of Heavy Losses

Even if the return of all American
troops now in France is accomplished
by fall, in accordance with recent re-
ports, it is stated by the American Lii
brary Association that half a million
| more books must be added to the IL
brary service for the army, navy and
marine corps.
The additional books will be needed
chiefly for returning troop transports,
which can not be supplied from the
stock of books which has been sent
overseas.
Due to the heavy use they are re-
ceiving, books now in France are de-
teriorating very rapidly. When the
fighting stopped the use of books in
creased enormously and has continued
to grow in volume. The men have
little to do to occupy great amount
of leisure time. Reading is one of the
most substantial and profitable forms
of diversion for the men in the pres
ent situation in France and the use of
books and magazines is being encour-
aged by officers everywhere as
means of offering competition to the
wine shops and counteracting the ten
dency to gambling.
Wholesome, exciting fiction is the
sort which the men read most readily
under the conditions now existing
overseas. Good books of this kind are
passed from man to man and soon go
to pieces through sheer handling. It
is necessary for the overseas organi-
zation of the A. L. A. to make constant
requirements of these worn out vol
umes. AS a result, the actual stock
of available books in France dwindles
steadily and none can be spared to put
aboard transports for the homecom-
ing troops.
library in the American port where
it docks. The demand for books
aboard ship has been so great that
these Libraries are now being increased
to the ratio of book for every man.
1t is necessary also that the book col
lection be renewed at the end of each
trip, as frequently large number of
volumes disappears in the course of
the voyage.
For the transport service whole
some, entertaining fiction Is aeeded.
Books left at the public library will
be, forwarded promptly.

ONE GRADUATE

At the fifth annual graduating ex-
ercises of the Riverview Hospital AS
sociation Friday night, Miss Ruth
Lundquist, of this city received the
certificate which allows her to prac-
tice as a graduate nurse. Miss Lund
quist took her three years training
at Riverview Hospital, with four
months at Cook County Hospital, Chi
cago. Her experience during this time
has been of practical value to her, and
her scientific training has been such
that the community can feel justified
in relying upon her services. Miss
Lundquist states that she will in all
probability practice her profession iii
this city for the present.
The exercises opened with the invo-
cation by Rev. C. A Meilicke of the
German Moravian church. The mu-
sical program consisted of a vocal
solo by Mrs. Ruby Natwick Dewey,
formerly of this city, and duet, 'No
Care by the Way" by Mr.. John Rob-
erts and Miss Bernice Eggert.
Miss Lundquist read an interesting
essay entitled "The Nurse in Service"
in which she told of her three years
training and the many opportunities
for personal service which came to her
during that time. She described the
several branches in the nursing pro-
fession and pointed out the fact that
each has its own field of service. 1t
was also emphasized that the real true
nurse enters her profession with the
ideal of service uppermost in her mind,
finding happiness in the friendly graf
itude of others.
| An address entitled "The Art of
Healing" was delivered by Rev. Noel
J. Breed, of the Congregational church
Mr.. Breed called to mind the great
progress made in the medical and
nursing profession, and dwelt upon
the immense value of the nurse in the
community. In closing his address
he applied his subject to modern condi-
tions, showing how in many ways so.

In presenting the diploma, Mr.

loyalty. He stated that the commun

and that her life would surely be on
of great usefulness.

STRANGERS ROB JOS. WINECKE

Sneak thieves stole more than S36
in change from the pocket of an
overcoat belonging to Joe Winecke
proprietor of the Cozy Cafe, in the
washroom of his restaurant during
the supper hour Sunday night and
escaped.
The eating house had done land
office business during the day and
the proprietor had taken in about
S36 in silver from the cash register,
put it into a purse and placed the
purse in the pocket of his overcoat.
Later it was gone. Two strangers are
believed to be the guilty parties but
at this writing have not been appre-
hended.

WISCONSIN WOMAN'S
SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION
By Theodore w. Youmans.

Some years ago women in one of
the assembly districts in western Wis
consin circulated a petition urging the
Wisconsin legislature to adopt wo-
man suffrage measure. The petition
was forwarded to the assemblyman of
that district and then dropped from
view. Some weeks later the assembly
man was approached by one of his
constituents who asked what had be-
come of the woman suffrage petition.
He insisted that no such petition had
reached him but after repeated re-
minders admitted that he had received
some "old hens scratches"
The first petition for the enfranch-
isement of women presented on the
floor of Congress were received with
such scorn, jeers and ribaldry as are
unbelievable at the present time. One
man, Senator Sargent of California
had sufficient independence to demand
''for the petition of more than ter
thousand women the courtesy which
would be given to any other"

ANOTHER CALL
FOR BOOKS

Another call has come for books for
our boys on the transports and over
seas, especially the Yanks in Ger
many. The American library Asso-
citation wants fresh fiction this time,
books to while away the dull hours of
waiting for the orders to come home,
and the eventful trip back to America
In the shipping instructions receiv-
ed by the Public Library, the words
Get the books off at the earliest pos
sible date" are underlined. They
want the stories now, as the books at
present in France wear out rapidly.
Capt. Guy Nash, recently returned
from France, says: 81 used the libra
ries in the Y. M. G. A. buildings. Most
of the A. L. A. books I saw were pass
ed from one man to another, until they
were worn out. There were regular
Libraries on the naval cruiser I return
ed on, which we very much enjoyed"
The camp libraries do not have
iOb VI Ieu CI10Y
allow the book and the man to get to-
gether. Valentine Siewert says: 'They
distributed the books through the regi-
ment, both in France and on the boat
coming home. They were good books
all | got a-hold of-and the men
certainly took advantage of them"
There is also great need for maga-
zines overseas. Put one-cent stamp
on the notice on the cover of your
magazine promptly after reading it,
and drop it in the post box. Do this
every month until all the boys are back
every week with Golfers and the Sat
urday Evening Post
And bring the good books you have
finished reading to the library If you
have a few, bring them; il more than
you can conveniently carry, telephone
and they will be called for. They will
be sent on just as fast as they come
in; that every man who wants amuse-
ment for his idle hours. may have a
rafting good story to read.

Wyoming enfranchised it's women in
1869. When the federal amendment
finally passed both houses of Congress
the Senate June A, 1919. Fifteen of
the United States and the Territory
of Alaska had given women full fran
chise. This does not include Texas
where referendum was held a fort
night ago and where the result is still
in doubt. Twelve states, including
Wisconsin, have given women the right
to vote for presidential electors. In
two states women have the right to
vote at primary elections. There are
also score or more of cities in num-
Der of states where women have muni-
cipal suffrage. The total number of
potential women votes is estimated at
