AFTER EFFECTS OF WAR ON WOMEN

questions as the minimum wage,
child labor, the increased cost Of
living, old age pensions and teach
ers' inadequate salaries are di-
rectly concerned with votes for
women.
There is absolutely no excuse
for any self-supporting woman be-
ing uniformed on these subjects,
II she does not marry and it is
highly probable-considering the
overbalance Of the sexes due to
war that she may not marry-her
whole future happiness, peace and
prosperity are bound up in the
woman question. This is certainly
no time to farm out your thinking.
All the anti-suffragists | have
known have been rich women

land. And up to the beginning Of
the war, at least, members Of the
league were in the habit of heap
ing white roses at the base of
Charles First statue near White
hall on the anniversary of his ex-
ecution.
Old residents of Washington
still remember several old Confed-
crate soldiers who used to sit
about on park benches with elfin
locks flowing to the breeze, and
who vowed never to cut their hair
until the Confederacy was ac-
mowledged. In Republican France
today, there are several Royalists

the Bonaparte claims, the other

Professional Weak Women"
So we may expect quite a bit
Of tea drinking and card playing
on the part of professional weak
women" who, declining to do their
own thinking, object to other
women exercising that right.
But no woman who earns her
own living can AFFORD to let some
one else think for her these days.
She owes it to herself to know all
about what is known as "the
woman question" 1t has to do
with her pay envelope, her hours
Of work, her holidays, and the
sanitary condition under which her
work is done. Such important

THE war will make ten million
women among the allied ma
tons celibates; according to
the calculations of statisticians.
And while statistics are always
being attacked on the grounds Of
their unreliability they may at
least be regarded as straws show
ing which way the wind blows.
Perhaps ten million may be an
extreme figure, but there is no de-
ming that the hopes of millions
of girls, as far as the big expert
ences Of life-love and mother
hood-are concerned, lie buried in
No Mans Land.
Sheer overbalance of numbers
must cause millions Of women to
reverse their normal impulses to-
ward homemaking and mother
hood, and turn their energies in
the direction of the industrial or
professional world. The war,
about which they were not con-
suited, has completely changed
their position in the scheme of
things; in the United States alone,
approximately 100000 women
work for their living. And the
Bureau of Labor has urged them
to keep their jobs, proving beyond
the powers Of rhetoric that they
have made good.
Their Power in Future Elections.
In the next Presidential election
12,j00,000 women, representing
twenty-seven States, will be en-
titled to cast their votes for Presi-
dent, while the influence of women
in the party conventions may well
be the determining factor in the
choice of party candidates.
Yet in the face of these figures
we have earnest anti-suffrage
ladies and gentlemen frantically
playing cards and drinking tea for
the benefit Of THE Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage"
AIack and alas! Think Of the
waste of energy, not to mention
the waste of tea! For tidal wave
after tidal wave Of the cup that
cheers, and mountain range after
mountain range of cards cannot
prevail against the influence Of
women in the next election, or in
the world for that matter.
And speaking of anti-suffra9e
societies brings to mind other "lost
cause" associations: in England
there still exists: "The White Rose
League" The object of which is TO
restore tho Stuart dynasty in Eng

Eastern Drops One
By Three Points

The continued sweep of victories Of
the Normal school basket ball team
was at last broken Saturday night at
the local gymnasium in hotly con-
tested game with the Sue Bennett
Memorial School, of London.
1t was undoubtedly the best game
of the season as advertised. the
teams being so evenly matched they
put up an ideal contest from all an
giles of the game. The first half was
a nip and tuck affair the score at the
end of that period being s and g.
The second half started off with a
rush finally becoming almost as rough
as a foot ball game and after the
smoke of battle had cleared away il
was found the final score stood Sue

per pas the individual star of the
game, scorning IL points of the IA to-
tai points made by the Normal team
Basket ball fans are asking for an
other game between these two teams
in order to play off the tie, the first
game at London having resulted in a
victory for the Normal five.

1CAL OIL MN TO
DRILL In LINCOLN
J. Diamond. Of Domestic Oil & Re-
niur Co., Leases 350-Acres Farm
from S. II. Baughman

lincoln county is enjoying a real
81 boom as a result Of the striking OF
-. .raIIs about three miles south of
SANFORD, just off the Somerset pike.
"a result of the showing that has
~ made, President T. ]. Diamond,
=. .ls Domestic Oil and Refining Co.,
r-.- headouarters in Richmond, late
I,., week. leased $50 acres of the
farm Of S. II. Baughman, about a mile
s,--b Of Stanford, and which is prac-
.i-aIIv adjoining the territory where
+Ls strikes have already been made
NJ Raughman has been here several
s-~s with relatives and he signed a
l-ase 10 the local oil concern, with the
r-fzrstanding that q rig is to be ship
ned there at once, and thorough test
NJ his farm made. He had previously
ceased 200 acres across the pike TO
the Bald Knob Oil Company, which
has brought in five wells at Hale's
We'll. lust south of the Baughman
property. The Stanford Interior Jour
nal said last week of the oil prospect
ing which is being done there:
Mr.. c. II. Adams, of the Bald Knob
oil Company, drilling at Hale's Well,
brought US in sample OF the oil he is
getting there, and incidentally told US
that MS company struck another good
on-.he best yet. 1t is No. 5, and is
good for Is or 20 barrels. Oil was
struck at 64 feet.
The Danville Advocate said of the
strikes in Lincoln: A new 20 barrel
oil we'll came in yesterday on the
Hales farm, which is situated four
miles southwest of Stanford Ky. This
well is on the lease Of the Kentucky
Florida Oil Company. A ten barrel
well was struck last week on this same
lease. Prospects look so very prom
isfng that three more wells are being
put down Just as fast as the drills will
orerate. This oil field is about 8 miles
from the Daniel Boone Oil COMPANY
which has at the present time more
than 80 producing wells. Interest in
the oil business in this section of the
country is increasing daily. There i:
much TO be made in the oil game u
people can make up their minds tc
take a little risk.

From the toss up until the final whis-
tie, the game was clean and fast.
While the Wesleyan quintet showed
evidence of training, the speed and
endurance Of the local boys could not
be denied. When the Wesleyan team
appeared on the floor, the Caldwell
boys suffered from comparison as
the former was heavier Of the two,
but the team work and superior pass
ing Of the local boys won the game.
While Malloy and yandeyeef did

Congressman
Visit Wilson In Paris
(By Associated Pressl

Paris, Feb. 4-The Russian Soviet
government will take measures" to
bring about an agreement with the
entente, according TO wireless from
Moscow II complains the Bolshevih
authorities received no formal invita-
ton to the Prince Island conference" !"
only word regarding it being wire
less Containing press news"
President Wilson has several ap-
pointments today, including visits
from the Republican Congressman,
who have arrived in Paris. He deter
mined, however, that nothing would
be permitted to obstruct the progress
of the Commission, of which he is
chairman, and which is now engaged
in perfecting the scheme for the crea-
ton Of the society of nations.
There is growing feeling here
that the treaty of peace should be
speedily perfected, now that the prin-
rciple of the society of nations and
many details Of its construction have
been agreed upon. The society, how
ever, is regarded as practically an as
sured fact, even if final action is not
secured before President Wilson's de-
I, parture, because the full conference
adopted the declaration which solemn
ly binds the delegation to the creation
of such an organization with the pri-
mary object Of averting further war
fare. For the present the main eff
forts of the promoters is to keep OUT
all matters from the plan which are
not absolutely vital. This may prove
that there win be little more thar
framework of the fundamentals viii
be disclosed. 1t is expected, however
upon this can be hung almost any
thing essential to the development Of
the plan. With such an agreement
ion general principles reached, it ].
held IN some quarters that there vii
lbe no need to treat specifically suci
subjects as freedom Of the seas, usl
OF submarines or the creation of buf
fer states
