MISSOURI WOMAN
SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION
ENDORSED LEAGUE OF
WOMEN VOTERS PLAN

The Missouri Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION assembled in its annual con-
vention endorsed the proposed plan
for a League of Women Voters. This
action was taken after the plan and
its purpose had been outlined by Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president OF the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association, in her address before
the National Suffrage Convention.
Relative to the new League, Mrs.
Gait said in part: "The work ahead
of suffragists is twofold: (D To hold
intact the present suffrage organiza-
tions until all the women OF the Unit
ed States are voters; (2) To carry out
a necessary program for education in
citizenship and for securing needed
legislative reforms for improved So
cial conditions" Mrs. Gait expects
that this work will be practically
completed within the next five years,
when the organization can disband.
For the present, the parent organ
cation will continue under the same
name. the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. But to secure
closer cooperation and the, advantage
Of the experience and influence of the
women in states where womeR have
voted, another organization has been
formed inside the N. A. W. S. A., to
be called the League of Women Vot-
ers. For the present, this organiza-
ton is composed of the women in the
q states where women have full Oh
presidential suffrage. AS each state
secures this suffrage, it becomes a
part of the section Of the N. A. w. ).
A.. known as the League of Women
Voters, and eventually when all the
women of the United States have suf-
frage, the entire suffrage association
will automatically have become the
League Of Women Voters.
l This League of Women Voters is
nSEa Separate political patty. II is.
tTonpartisan in its organised capacity.

sailors and marines in each county
in the state meet at the county seat
at o'clock p. m. on Saturday, April
&c, 1919, to name a delegate and an
alternate to meet at some central
point in the district to be hereafter
named, on April so, 1919, for the pur-
pose of electing two delegates and two
alternates to the St. Louis convention.
In St. Louis, Kansas City and st, Jo-
seph the congressional delegates will
be selected on April 30th. It is de-
sired that at least one of the two del
egates be an enlisted man. a.
The, American Legion will be
strictly ifon-partisan and the discus
sion of political questions or policies
will not be permitted at its meetings.
It's objects are to stimulate patriot
ism, to inculcate the duty and obliga-
tien of the citizen to the state, to pre-
serve the history of the participation
of its members in the war with Ger
many and to cement the ties of COM
radeship formed in the service. SINH
lar organizations have been formed
after the various wars in which our
country has engaged and it is desired
to organize this one without delay.

FAIR AND SAFE

Senator Lodge, in his statement on
the Fiume question, places emphasis
on the point that if Italy thinks FL
ume is necessary to Italian safety
then Italy ought to have Fiume.
The Senator was addressing body
not ignorant of the fact that Italy's
safety is we'll provided for in the pact
of London, nor is he ignorant Of the
fact that Italy did not demand Fiume
when that pact was made.
On the day that the Lodge state
ment appeared President Wilson is
sued a statement on the same ques-
ton which gives the Massachusetts,
Senator and the Italian Premier an
other answer to the military reason
which Italy gives for demanding FL
ume.
The President says that Eiume is
not naturally an Italian port, and that
is certainly true. He says it is nat
urally an international port, and since
Austria Hungary has been broken up
into four independent countries that
fact has greater weight than ever
before.
The President therefore favors Civ
ing Fiume a considerable degree Of
autonomy and argues that it should
be established as a free port for all
the countries which it serves, leaving
to Jugo-Slavia the right to impose GUS
toms duties upon imports into that
country through Fiume.
Then on the military question the
President says the old Austrian forts
built to command the Adriatic should
be destroyed and never rebuilt, while
the naval forces permitted on the
eastern shore of the Adriatic should
be limited to such vessels as may be
necessary for police protection.
If these ideas are put into effect
justice will be done and unnecessary
enemies will be avoided. The Italian
policy cuts off the most of old Aus
tria- Hungary from what should be
it's best port, and so stimulates ten
dency on the part of the new states
toward combination against Italy.
The Presidents policy removes the
military question from the discussion
by providing for disarmament, while
it tends toward friendship by treat
ing Jugo-Slavia fairly.

Cause of Headache

By knowing the cause, a disease
may often be avoided. This is par
ticularly true of headache. The most
common cause of headache is a dis
torted stomach or constipation, which
may be corrected by taking a few
doses of Chamberlain's Tablets. Try
it. Many others have obtained per-
manent relief by taking these Tablets.
They are easy to take and mild and
gentle in effect. Obtainable every
where. (adv.)

The return of Missouri troops has
interferred to some extent with the
session this week. A number Of
members have been on committees to
receive the boys in New York and
others attended the ceremonies in St.

The boys are looking well. They will
be discharged at Camp Funston in the
course of short time.

A. &M. BUILDING
CONTINUED From Page u

CAPITA pupil basis, it would mean that
whereas we are now getting only $751;
600 per year maintenance from the
state, we would be getting at least
$25 900.
There once was a time, under the
old law, when the district schools had
plenty of money and were in -four
ishing condition. Along came an adj
ministration that cut them all to $10,-
600 per year Followed a period Of ex-
IRENE poverty for these schools. When
I was in the legislature, I succeeded
in having the annual appropriations
increased to $4,000, the amount we
are getting now. This, ! understand
will be changed, and the per capita
system will govern the appropriations
hereafter The smaller the school the
smaller the amount it will draw from
the state for maintenance. Which
makes it clear what an advantage it
would be to Americas to have this
new building completed, so that we
could handle an enrolment of zoo in
stead of only half that.
We are going to the limit at the
school now to accommodate the 100
students. Walls have been removed
in the boys dormitory, and what orig
inally were four rooms are now two
class rooms.
The new structure, when complete,
will be a model in completeness and
arrangement, as well as solving our
capacity problem. On the first floor
in the shape of a separate wing, is the
auditorium, with a seating capacity of
500. and which will accommodate 1000
in an emergency In the same build
ing are the administration Offices IL
brary, bank, postoffice, half dozen
spacious class rooms, mechanical
training department and a model liv-
ing apartment, which is to be used for
teaching the girls domestic science.

The school is short of capacity be-
cause of a fire in 1915 that destroy
ed one of the main buildings on the
campus. The building was only par
TALLY insured, and the loss was a
severe blow.
The institutions sole revenue rs
from the state appropriations. The
students pay only their own board and
a few naturalization fees. This fact
enables many farmers who are in poor
financial circumstances to give their
children the advantages of a modern
education equal to that enjoyed by
those of wealth.
Attached to the school property are
200 acres of fine farm land, which the
agricultural students use in carrying
out the requirements of the curricu-
lum in this department. A competent
farm superintendent is in charge of
this branch of the work.
Thirty eight acres of this tract have
been designated as the site for the
