President Woodrow Wilson

There never was a man in the world
who has received any more attention
than the President of the United
States is now receiving across the
sea. Every American is proud OF
this ract or at least should be. We
are proud of our President, Woodrow
Wilson, and believe him equal to, and
able to cope with, any foreign King
or Potentate. Our President should
receive the hearty cooperation and
support of every American without
any reference to Party, Glass or Re
ligious belief. The Presidents going
overseas was the best thing he could
possibly have done. He is now see
ing and getting everything first hand
He talks direct with all men. He is
able to see the conditions on the battle
field; the destruction of cities and
country, get the direct pulse of the
people and know the truth first hand
The best results for World Peace"
and the League of Nations" can
be thus secured He can see Ameri-
can troops in the field and know just
how they are faring and looked after
by the officers. Nothing like being
on the ground to get the truth and
conditions first hand.
We urge Republicans in Congress
and everywhere to support him in his
efforts to bring about better world
conditions through Peace and League
of Nations yet to be obtained. In
unity there is strength, and the allied
Powers can secure best results with
Woodrow Wilson on the grounds
war that has only Ideal conditions to
favor for World Peace and a League
of Nations in which the people of all
nations will enjoy the fruits of their
labor and the blessing of life that they
are rightfully entitled to. We believe
that President Wilson will stand firm
for what he believes the best for
the people of the world without re
spect to nations. We believe he will
be firm, fair and just, even with Ger
any, in spite of all her destruction and
crimes committed. She Germany
must pay and repair wrongs done as
far as possible and when she has done
that and shown a disposition to do
her share in supporting and defend
ing League of Nations she should
be treated like other nations of the
world. We have faith and confidence
that President Woodrow Wilson can
be relied upon to do the right with
all nations as he sees it from his
standpoint of observation and knowl-
edge of all the conditions.

GOOD RESOLVES FOR WOMEN
Suggestions Pertinent to New Year
That VIII Make Home More
Cheerful and Comfortable.

SO many people, in making their New
Year resolutions think only Of their
diets, their characters, and their
pocketbooks! Their homes, which,
directly or Indirectly, influence all
these things, are disassociated in their
minds with anything pertaining to the
New Year and the fresh page that is
just turning over. But when each
woman stops to think that her home
may be made so attractive that her
menfolks, without knowing the reason,
will want to spend their evenings
there; that her children will grow up
with higher ideals, and will always
keep beautiful memory Of what home
means; that she herself will walk with
her head we'll up, and her shoulders
back, as she sallies forth to take her
place in the world of men, knowing in
her heart that her home is as it should
be-since home is such a sacred place,
shall we not include the word in the
list of our desires and strivings? Shall
we not resolve to make it worthy of
our life and love?
Have you a chair that squeaks as
you sit down upon it? Why not mend
1t? Have you mended that ripped hem
in your couch cover? Have you tackled
down that loose place in your hall car
pet? Are you not tired of looking
at your pillows which need recovering?
When are you going to get at clean
Ing off that smoky place on your cell
ing? Little repairs like these work
wonders in the home. Why not get at
them this next week?
Have you a room which does not
please you? Why not experiment with
the furniture and see if you cannot
place it to greater advantage, or so
that it will give greater comfort? Oft
en- the arrangement of a room is re-
spOnsible for it's lack of charm.
Does your woodwork need re-
painting? Why not start to paint it
a little at q time? In so doing the
time spent is never missed and wet
paint in small areas is easier to steer
around.
Have you too many ornaments in
your house? Why not pack some Of
them carefully away, and see how you
like doing without them? Your rooms
would be happier.

WOMAN'S
SUFFRAGE
ASSOCIATION
Record of Woman Suffrage for 1918
By Theodora W. Youmans

The year 1918 will go down in his
tory as a year Of wonderful progress
for the principle of government by
the people.
1t is natural that, such being the
case, it should also show a record for
remarkable advancement in the wo-
man suffrage cause.
Even the far away oriental CONT
nent of Asia feels the new impulse and
word comes from India that a woman
presided over the Madras Provincial
Conference and that the Punjab COM
mittee passed a resolution that no
distinction Of sex be made in the COM
ing reforms.
The continent of Europe, ravaged
by a war of conquest instigated by
autocracy, has revolted against au-
too~9cy almost en- masse, and the self
gov 1ment which follows the rule of
kin~s, will be a government of all the
pee e, women as we'll as men.

Vas swiftly toward complete en-
reimbursement of women, only part
of Mexico and the little Central Amer
lean republics tagging behind.
British women, took part in their
first parliamentary election in De-
cember, 1918. A month earlier the
House Of Commons passed a measure
permitting women to sit in Parliament
Six million British women were en-
franchised within the year.
The Municipal Council of Paris will
request the French parliament to
adopt law granting suffrage to wo-
men, according to the Petite Parisien
In Norway, where women have
voted for some years, Miss Sora
Christie has just taken her seat as
member of parliament.
Word comes from Stockholm that
the Swedish government has decided
to carry out without delay program
of reforms giving the franchise to
both sexes on equal terms.
In Italy, though the question of
equal rights had not been much agi-
tated among the people, parliament
airy committee advocates equal rights
and the Italian parliament is expected
to adopt that recommendation
Universal suffrage is one Of the
basic principles of the new Czecho-
Slovak republic
In Hungary arrangements are made
for an election at which both men and
women will vote upon the question Of
the form of government to be adopted.
Similar conditions prevail in the grand
duchy Of Baden, where the election
will take place January 5, 1919.

TRIBUTES FROM
SECRETARY BAKER

Following a tour of South England,
Secretary Of War Baker made this
comment on the work done by the
American Red Cross for our boys:
''These are the things which count.
The American Red Cross is to be con-
graduated on the way-in which it is
looking after our boys. 1t is doing
fine work"
Following his return from France,
Secretary Baker wrote this note to
the American Red Cross in London:
Il left London so shortly after ny
drive to Winchester that | had no
early opportunity TO thank you for
the courtesy of the touring car which
you placed at my disposal for the trip,
On this trip to Europe l have received
fresh and noteworthy evidence of the
astonishing efficiency of the American
Red Cross operations in France and
England. have been delighted to see
how much the American Red Cross
has done to weld hearts of the allied
people together"

New Outlook for Soldiers

We who are in touch with returning
soldiers say that a great army of them
will never go back to the jobs they
came from. A lot of them have al
ready been trained to bigger work
Take the many thousands who have
had clerical jobs before the war. Now
a lot of these fellows have had special
courses in machinery, electricity, au-
tomobile repair, etc
Such men become deeply interested
in technical work. They know well
enough that this kind of industry paws
better wages then routine clerkships
They will not be satisfied to go back
to the old JOB for long.
The result will be good. There will
be more skilled producers. 1t will be
easier for manufacturers to turn out
a high grade product. There is never
any surplus of skilled workers. Those
the war has created will be likely to
find employment. And the more
these men find better positions. the
more chance is left for the women that
have taken soldiers jobs.

that the merchants of our community
and their helpers perform a function
the value of which we may not fully

To the Old Yea,
81 PATIENCE FORTH


We part, Oh comrade, reluctantly;
Long have we trod the winding way,
Troublous, clouded, graySome-
Aye the Swallowed way.
Adieu! We part, oh, comrade! Adieu!
Upon thy way I see thee going.
Bonded low meath thy burden:
Weighted, bowling, tired, plodding
Heavy footed out upon thy newsonle path.
What hand shall welcome thee?
Adieu, oh comrade! We part
Thou upon thy way and upon mine.
I have seen thy brothers slain;
l have watched thine eyes streaming;
I have seen thee stop upon thy way
To stanch some bleeding thing;
Smiling wisely, bending tenderly.
But thou art very now
Bent and weary. Thy steps
Are stepped most falteringly.
Adieu! With thee upon thy path.
Oh, wilt thou lake the memory
Of my hands Clasp-the touch
OF one brother upon the others flesh?
Oh wilt thou then turn
And smile me back one smile of fellow
ship?
see my aged form sink low.
I would burden thee not, save of my love;
Nor would I hang upon thy brow
A garland of glistening green
That fasheth scarlet bud.
Nay, 'twould be as a skull
Wrea thed of victor's laurel
A folly-crown upon thy most venerable
brow
Adieu, oh comrade!. Upon thy path!
The years that come are reckoning me;
But shall recall thy burdens
Thy sorrows, thy tendernesses.
Aye, and, oh, wilt thou turn upon thy
path
And smile a smile of fellowship,
Oh, parting year?
