WOMAN VOTERS
WELCOMED
Republican Party to Take Them In az
individuals on Full Equality
With the Msle
Members.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, May 22.--Wou;an
voters will be welcomed into the re-
publican party as individuals on full
equality with men. and not as a sep
arate group, VIII Hays, chairman Of
the national republican committee.
said today. His statement of the fu-
ture attitude of the party toward the
rapidly increasing woman vote was
made at conference Of women and
republican leaders from all states. 1t
follows passage of the suffrage
amendment in the house by q large
majority, foreshadowing ultimate ma
tional suffrage.
There is but one possible rule for
a political party" said Hays, that Is
that the rights OF individual members
to participate in the management OF
the party's affairs must be and re-
main equal. The republican women
in this country are part OF the
party membership. They come into
this party activity not as women. but
as voters entitled to participate in SO
far as the preseM legai limitations
permit just as other voters. Their ac-
tivity is not supplementary or lcondi-
tionary They are units in the party
membership and where the suffrage
for them is new they come in just as
men have come in when they have
reached the legal voting age.
"They are not to be segregated, nor
separated, but assimilated with that
consideration due every working
member of the party.
There Is to be no separate wom-
ems organization created within the
party except and only in cases where
such arrangement may be needed
temporarily in the aid OF complete
amalgamation."

WASHINGTON, May 22-The new
American merchant marine must fill
three great national needs in addition
to it's primary function of carrying
freight. Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board today told delegates to
a three day shipping conference here.
The needs as outlined : by Hurley

ocean mail service, capable of cover
ing the world.
A centrally controlled wireless tele-
graph service to promote safety of
life and commerce at sea and to give
American business and shipping ad-
vantage Of constant commercial COM
munication.
Maintenance of training school for
officers so that American ships will
always be in charge of Americans.
Hurley declared that if the German
ships were sold to private parties
equitable distribution should be made
so that all sections of the country
would have it's quota of ships
1.-THE ports of Wilmington. Savannah,
Charleston, Brunswick, Jacksonville
Mobile, Pensacola, New Orleans, Gal
weston. Port Arthur Los Angeles. San
Francisco Portland, Ore, and Seattle
have developed wonderfully during the
past few years in the production for
export and arrangements must be
made whereby each section of the
country will have every opportunity to
establish through steamship lines in
connection with its railroads SO that
every community may receive first
class service" Hurley said.
Fifty per cent of our commerce
s. LIQUID be carried in American bot
toms and fifty In foreign so that none
of our ships will have to return in
ballast Hurley said.

WIN WAR OVER
THE LAZY HENS
Remarkable Campaign Waged In f1is
souri Against the Hens Who Eat
But Do Not Lay
Eggs.

While thousands of women were
sewing and knltting for the Red Cross
and the land army of America was
helping the farmers, the volunteer
army OF determination was raised IN
Missouri, the object being to rid the
state of the non producing hen.
This army captained by the home
demonstration agents Of the Gniver-
sity of Missouri college Of agriculture,
declared var last August aid in, TWO
months time the victory had been
won. In the counties employing hone
demonstration agents, every COM
munity had been reached with a
crlling demonstration to search out
the on-producers. w. A. Hook
county agent at Kahoka, tells the in
teresting story of the work.
Excellent work was done BY these
volunteers. Demonstrations OF
chicken canning either followed or
preceded the culling demonstrations
aid those who preferred % car rather
THAN to sell, could do so.
Owing to the influenza epidemic II
was impossible to get reports from all
co-operators, but from work that came
directly from the efforts of the
twenty-se home demonstration
agents, the reports show a total of
256, 234t birds examined with 100,135
marked for sale or canning, resulting
in saving of feed to the value of
S79,644.
In many cases the old hens were
tgiven every chance to defend them
selves as was the case in Sullivan
county where one woman culled sew
enty-one hens. kept them for a week.
and got one egg for return of their
feed From Montgomery county
comes the report Of woman who
culled eighty-six hens from flock of
124, kept them for week and never
got single egg.
Occasionally man Joined this
group of women in eliminating the
ron-producing hen. Charles Overfield
or Butler county, gave ten culling
demonstrations, interesting 1886 in
the work He culled his own flock OF
three hundred White Leghorns, keep
ing sixty Of the lot and the egg pro-
Guction remained the same. One Liv
irgston county woman, who had pre-
yiously learned to Gull, read an ad-
vertisement of purebred Plymouth
Rock hens for sale. On inspecting
them, she readily recognized them as
culls.
The poultry specialists and home
demonstration agents estimate that
one more season of culling will rid the
farm flocks of this useless expense,
! the lazy hen.
