death angel has again knocked at the
portals of an Armour home, when on
Tuesday Mrs. VIM. Edwards answered
the last call that all to this vale of
tears must answer. Mrs. Edwards
was lady of most admirable quail
ties and sterling christian character.
She was a good neighbor and kind
friend to all she met and the benign
influence of her serene personality al
ways left an impress for good. She
was an ideal mother and her sons
have ever reioiced in her interest for
their welfare and at this sad hour can
truly arise and call her blessed A
good woman has gone to dwell with
her God forever. This is the reward
of a successful life and the comfort
of such truth dispels much of the
gloom Of death and brings balm to
sorrowing hearts. The sympathy Of
all goes out to those who are called
upon to mourn. Mary Ann Cohagan
was born near GAINESVILLE, O., Feb. Z.
1915, and died at Armour, May 20, 1919

and Jack, to whom she was devoted1y
attached. For years she was con-
sistent member Of the United Breth-
rem church. and after her removal here
she united with the Methodist church,
of which she was faithful member.
The shock of Oscars death unsettled
her health and since March she suf-
fered; with ailments peculiar to old
age Her faith in God was sublime
and death was but the gateway to
home and loved ones. The funeral
services were held at the Methodist
church, Rev. L. w. Darling officiat-

EFFICIENCY or ADVERTISING

The net effect of advertising in any
community is to concentrate trade. II
enables bright, enterprising, far
sighted men to get the bulk of the, bus
mess, far more than they could OBJ

opens the way for them to introduce
modern efficiency systems, to reduce
costs through large volume of trade
to take advantage of bargains offered
in the wholesale market, and to buy
and sell in a large way.
Advertising tends to eliminate un
enterprising merchants. These find
they can no longer depend on 1.-The
mere physical fact that they have a

RENEWALS

We wish to draw the attention of
all committee members to the import
ance of renewals for French war Or
phans. Although the war is over, the
children that we are trying to help are
children whose fathers will never
come back. Many of the French
mothers and guardians who have had
ample work during war times will find
it difficult to obtain employment. The
strain Of supporting the children will
be more acute than ever.

MUNICH IS DANCING
Bavarian Capital Changed Little
by Long War. !
People PaIer Than Their Wont, but
Appear to Be Warmly
Dressed. -sAt

Munich.-Munich looks much less
changed after four years of war than
those who knew it would have thought
possible. The city appears far livelier
and gayer than three years ago. Part
of this impression is unqueStiOnably
due to the profusion of Bavarian-G Ger
man flags everywhere, emphasized by
the red banners of the socialists.
Although fairly dark in the evening,
because coal must be saved, the streets
are crowded during the early hours.
Restaurants are open and a fairly pail
atable imitation of beer is served.
Many of the larger restaurants and
prominent hotels have paper napkins
and paper tableclOths.
Every postage stamp one ticks has
a strange disagreeable taste because
Of the use of some substitute. Bicycle
tires have been replaced by coils Of
steel.
The streets are as clean as ever and
with stores as beautiful, although filed
with articles the prices of which would
have been unbelievable four years
ago.
The suffering seems to fall heavily
on the poor people. Food now is more
plentiful because the signing of the
armistice brought out stocks which
have been held in reserve. The people
are perhaps paler than their wont, but
the street crowds appear to be warmly
dressed.
The city has resumed dancing, which
has occasiOned terrific editorial out
burst from portion of the press. For
mer Imperial Chancellor Won Hertling's
organ, the Bavarian Courier, says:
"Our enemies will be robbed of the
last vestige of pity if they hear of
this. Are they not right?''

WAR WORK WINS
PLACEFOR WOMEN
Great Britain Recognizes Part
They Played in Saving
Nation.
MAY SIT IN LORDS" SOON
Will Have Big Role in Reconstruction
Work-War Brings Right to Vote
and Sit in House Of
Commons.

London.-The women of Great Brit
ain are going to play a big role in re-
construction.
They have won the right to be heard
by saving the nation-and the nation
recognizes it.
The war has brought British women
the vote and the right to sit in the
stronger SEX throughout the history
of the British empire.
It is probable women's right to sit
in the house Of lords will be establish
ed shortly, as well as the admittance
of women to the professions On an
equal footing with men.
The question of "equal pay for equal
work. has been met in instances, but
largely It remains to be fought out af-
ter the industrial change-over.
Want Age Limit Lowered.
Only women over thirty may vote,
but there is already demand that this
age limit be reduced.
Women have also invaded the
strangers gallery" Of the commons,
as the public gallery is called. The
first woman to take advantage of this
newly won privilege was Mrs. Walker
Kerr of Kensington, who formerly lv-
ed in New Zealand, where she had
the vote for 25 years.
English papers predict that women
will add dignity to the commons, dig
nif1ed as it is, and prevent "anti' mem
bers from hiding behind pillars and
doors when a "count" is demanded.
Already number Of women have an
nounced they will be candidates in the
coming elections-many of them on
planks dealing with reconstruction
tasks.
Ars Dacre Fox one Of the leaders Of
the "intern 'em all" agitation, made the
following statement in connection with
her intention to oppose Sir George
Cave, the home secretary:
''I will oppose him because his de-
partment placed every obstacle in the
way Of the internment of all enemy
aliens"
Here are views expressed by promi-
nent women of England upon the new
order:
Mrs. Pankhurst: "The decision Of
the house in granting women the right
to sit as members was the logical out
come of getting the vote, but think
the vote is much the more important
thing. shall vote to get the right
type of men into parliament rather
than to get women into parliament.
am very anxious that the strength Of
the woman voters-6,OOO0 strong
shall be given to help combat the very
real danger of international bolshe-
vism.'
"Sex Makes No Difference"
Lady Frances Balfour: ''The sooner
the nation fOrgets the sex of it's enfran-
chised citizens, or it's members in pub
lie work, the better for all concerned.
Sex must make no difference in the
binding obligations Of those who form
that great assemblage, the faithful
commons, in the mother of parlia-
ments."
Baroness Rhondda (who as a peer
ess in her own right is expected to
claim, as test case, the right Of wom-
en- to sit in the house of lords): Il
think it is just as desirable that wom-
en- should be in the house Of lords as
it is that they should sit in the COM
mons. The way for women in the lords
will be made easier by the admission
Of women to the commons"
