WOMEN ARE HELP in
FINLAND POLITICS

"llaving thus such an excellent
foundation to build upon 1t is small
wonder that the wnmun'S movement
soon found many Potiye supporters.
In 1863 the diet had accorded the mu.
nicipal vote 10 woman taxpayers living
In the country and IN 1872 to women
living in the towns, all Of whom were
also given the right To be elected
members of certain local self.govcrn

democrats included the suffrage Ii

for the suffrage began only in the year
1904, although In 1897 II petition had
been officially presented to the diet nj

in direct furtherance Of the cause If

The first action taken by the com

strikers were not allowed to cut of

During the course of the strike nu-

By Associated Press

Washington, October u.-A courier ar- irving in Washington today from Fran cisco Villas headquarters in northern Durango brought word that major of fensive would be begun next month with larger forces than Villa has been able to command for the past four years.
 Details of the plans of the campaign were not made known by the courier's communication, but assurances were brought that there would be no further military operations in the vicinity of the America9 border for the presen. The courier reported that Villa forces would be divided into a number of columns Which will operate in different directions through the central and southehn parts Of the republic with object of capturing Mexico City before attempting operations in the north
 Ihe complete organizat ton of the "iunta ue' sopernaclon' was announced in dis patches carried by the courier. The pur- pose It was said, will be to take over tne clvil administration of the territory as rast as it is occupied by troops. Forces of rurales in each district ac- >cording to the plan, will be enlisted to pohce the districts and release the mili- tary forces for further operations The enlistment of large number of deserters from the Carranzistaa, who had been cohscflpted into the army. has brought the forces 'nder Villa ard F'ilipe Angeles up to nearly 100000 men, the courier fur ther reported

ALABAMA NOW HAS FOUR COMPANIES
 NATIONAL GUARD
Differed by Men Who Saw Service in France, Troops Are Ready for Duty
 Whenever Needed

Montgomery, October u.-(specialJ Alabama now has four national guard Scompanies that are ready to take the field without delay, if needed, for an emer- gency. They are officered by men who saw service during the war with Ger many and have enough former service men in the ranks 10 stabilize the organ izations from the start, and to train the new recruits to a maximum of efficiency in q short time.
 4 special permission was given for the .companies to muster into the service of
 the state, and to come under the pro- visions of the national defense act upon reaching an enlistment of 65 men, which is 55 less than war sertngth. according to present tables of organization. The four companies that have exceed ed the minimum enlisted strength re- quired are Company A, Montgomery Rifles, Capt. H. l., Griggs C. O.; Com rany (, Selma, Capt Milton L. Woods, commanding; Company G, Birmingham, Capt William l. Cole. and the head 'ouarters company, Birmingham, Capt Julian P. Smith.

the sweet potatoes that they handle out side of Alabama. With a 16,0o0000 bushel crop of sweet potatoes harvested in Ala tama last year it would seem strange to think of Birmingham having to go into other statesNto buy product in the pro- duction of which Alabama led the coun- try. This is explained by, the Cham Der of Commerce committee on agri- culture and marketing by the fact that Alabama has facilities for storing and curing only about 1 per cent of the crop and because of the poor methods em- ployed in putting this product on the market.
 The Chamber of Commerce committee on agriculture and marketing contends that Birmingham's trade with the 50- odd towns in it's tributary territory is out of balance. Birmingham is doing a one- sided business with many of her best towns in shipping them all sorts of farm implements, fuel. drugs, electrical de- vices, fertilizer and cement, and buying back from them a negligible amount Of

far1h producse This committee reports that Birmingham is spending $eGo day in the middle wesH for the item of butter alone.
 It is believed that poor marketing meth ods for grading and packing Alabama products is largely responsible for this condition More elevators. creameries potato houses and other facilities to en- courage production and standardize the marketing of these products are among the states greatest needs, according to the Chamber of Commerce. These fa- cilities will enable Alabama products to compete with food produced anywhere, and enable Birmingham to feed herself within her nearby trade territory and keep her money circulating in Alabama
 The Chamber of Commerce at Mobile and Montgomery have been asked by the local Chamber of Commerce to make a similar investigation as to where these cities buy food so that comparisons can be drawn between the three large con- suming centers Of the state.

 The value of the signal property issued to company commander, and for which he is responsible, is s295 This includes field glasses and flag kits. The quarter master supplies are listed at s6so9, the ordnance, rifles and automatics at $4573, and other ordnance, such as mess kits, at S1S17; medical supplies, first-aid packages, at s19 and engineering, such a s conpasses and sketching outfits, at s67.25.
 The records show that 40 per cent of the Montgomery eompany's enlisted per connel is composed of former service men, and the other three companies now in the service and on Uncle Sam's part time pay roll. show only slightly less percsntag ges of men who were in the war. All of the commanding officers were of hcers in the great war.
 Capt. Joseph M. Dickerson, c. M C.. N. G., United States property and disbursing officer has been in charge at national guard headquarters during the absence of Maj. Hartley A. Moon, adjutant gem eral, and Capt. Herman Thompson. as- sistant adjutant general Major Moon has been at U. S A. general hospital No. 5, Railway, N Y, for treatment of an arm wound received in battle. He is ex- pectedf to reach Ft.' McPherson early next week and to be finally musteredgout of the federal service soon thereafter. Captain Thompson is at U. s. A. gen. eral hospital No. fl, Staten Island, N. Y, and it may be several weeks before his return to Alabama.
 Col William P. Screws has spent the greater part of the present week in the Tennessee valleys and it is safe to prdict that in the near future the announcement will be made that companies are organ izfng at Florence, Sheffield. Huntsville, Decatur and other points in that section of the state.
 Final designations of the organizations now being effected may not be made for some time. The provisional regiment be- ing formed is now known as the Fourth Alabama When completed according to present designs there will be a head quarters company, supply company, ma chine gun company and battalion of rifle companies in and about Birming- ham, and similar organizations centered at Montgomery and Mobile with com panies in surrounding towns.
 The aim of Colonel Screws, Major Moon and the other officers responsible for the success and growth of the national guard in Alabama is to fill the states ouota of eG0o men in four years. This will give Brigadier General Robert E. Steiner com mand of a complete brigade at full strength, with all of the regular and ad- oitional units required for active ser vice. including. perhaps. aviation and tank units.
