United States Senator 10 Discuss
League Of Nations Before Wa
tertown Audience Tonight at
the Goss Hall.

Senator Sterling speaks on the
League Of Nations at a mass meeting in
the Goss Hall, tonight. Though his
speech viii be devoted mainly to the
question of the League, Senator Sser-
ling will touch upon ether matters of
public interest at this time.
The senator has discussed the issue Of
a. world league at several points in
the state, since his return from Wash
ington at the close of congress. He
spoke first at Verfnillion, his home
town, and since has spoken 1t Mitchell
and other points in that section. Sena-
tor Sterling will address a meeting to.
morrow night at Clark.
In his journey over the state, Sen,
Sterling is endeavoring to get in touch
with the sentiment of his constituents
on the entrance of United States in a
treaty for. a world league. He expects
congress will be summoned in special
session soon after President Wilson s

lively speaking, in the pioneer days of
Sphinx county. Senator Sterling served
in the first state senate and was later
succeeded by the editor of this paper in
q session that proved to be very = rmy
and which terminated in the election OF
James FL. Kyle to succeed Senator
Gideon G. Moody in the United States
senate. AT that time Senator Sterliee
came within three votes Of an election
to the position he now holds, but th4
combination Of democrats and populists
was just a trifie TOO strong Tor the re-
rublicans to overcome. Mr.. Sterling still
retains his hold upon the section OF
country where he pioneered with the
pioneers.

GET READY FOR
THE CONVENTION

One of the things that is being
most talked about Mt Missouri Suf-
frage headquarters in the Century
Building, St Louis, is the big conVen-
ton the Missouri League of Women
Voters will hold this October.
The Missouri League Of Women
Voters is growing by leaps and
bounds. 1t is waxing strong and Wig
orous and is flourishing to degree
that not even a whole forest Of bay
trees could hope to exceed. Women
all over the State are siezing upon
this opportunity held out to them to
affiliate with non-political, non-par-
tisan organization that has its whole
cdIy for the accomplishment Of those
undertakings and designs that will re-
suit in making this country a better
and finer place for all, men and wo-
men alike, Of its citizens.
Last week new local leagues were
organized in Jefferson City, Hillsboro
and Festus. In the State Capitol,
where for nearly a century the politi-
cal pot has been boiling necessarily,
not always to the greater benefit of
the women Of the commonwealth, 80
women gave in their names and be.
came charter members of the Jeifer-
son City League at the organization
meeting.
According to present plans, the
convention will be called for the early
part of October. The convention city
has not as yet been definitely decided
upon. Several cities in the interior of
the State, as well as st. Louis and
Kansas City, are active candidates for
the honor Of being hostess city TO the
convention. Both the date and con-
vention city will be definitely settled
at the coming meeting of the Execu-
tive Board.
All the League auxiliaries in the
State will be entitled to send dele
gates to the convention. The repre-
sentation, according to the constitution
of the National League, shall be on
the basis of paid-up membership. Two
delegates for each so paid up men,
bers, for 100, and l for each addi-
tional so members. All leaders Of the
districts are, according to the consti-
tuition, ex-officio delegates to the con-
vention.
Included in the important business
to be transacted at the convention is
the adoption of a platform that will
outline the welfare and other legisla-
ton that the women of Missouri ex-
pect and will demand from their con-
gressional and State representatives at
the next session of Congress and the

THE 1919 DOLLAR IN 1924

Here's a thought that may not have
occurred to you in selling Savings
Stamps: Dollars saved now will be
worth half again as much in five
years. This is the rather startling
statement of experts in economies
who are studying the present tinan-
cial conditions Of the country. What
is meant is that the buying power Of
a dollar will be increased by so much
in that space OF time.
At present, conditions are far from
normal, owing to the worldwide eff
fccts Of the war, but all authorities
agree that these abnormal conditions
will gradually disappear and that the
dollars of 1924 will go much further
as a purchasing medium, than the
dollars spent today.
The value of all staples has always
scared Immediately following a war,
but as business conditions readjust
themselves prices will gradually be-
come normal again.
Thus the purchaser Of Savings
Stamps may reasonably expect a
much greater return than the interest
allows at the time of maturity.

The distribution of government food
works out as most plans of the kind.
Those who are most in need of relief,
if there is to be any relief from such
distribution, can not avail themselves
of it. 1t takes cash. Those who are
taking advantage of it are those least
needing it. While the government
had to pay almost as much as the Or
binary consumer for supplies during
the war period, it may be that there
will be a slight saving on some of the
material disposed of. Those who most
need reductions usually live off Of an
ticipated income from wages, depend
ing on merchants for line of credit.
