Missouri Field Organizer BuehIer Has
 a Busy Day at sedalla.

If anyone thinks that the grass is growing under the feet of the Missouri field workers of the War Loan Organi- zation of the Eighth Federal Reserve District he will probably revise his opinion when he learns of P. w. Buehler's work one day in the latter part of July.
 In his report to Director of Field Or ganization Dempsey at St. Louis he told of organizing two War Savings Societies in the railway shops at Se- dalia with pledges of $87 and $94 each.
 While he was not busy with his or ganization work he sold on the side S2000 worth of the new Treasury Sav- ings Certificates. In addition to this he did missionary work that will bear fruit in after days.

ELECTIONS OF
 GERMANY WILL
 SOON BE HELD
Forty Million People in Germany Will Have the Right of Franchise
 in Elections.

BERLIN, Jan. 11.-FOrty million voters, men and women, must be reg istered for the election of National Assembly in Germany on January 19, it is estimated by Professor Hugo Preuss, Minister of the Interior.

The new election bill provides for only 3S such districts for the whole country which, Professor Preuss adds. means more than a million voters in each district.
 Professor Preuss is one of the few prominent leaders of the progressive Bourgeoise who was given an import ant post in the provisional govern ment In an interview with cor respondent of the Associated Press he pointed out the technical diff culties in the way of organizing 40.- 100000 voters in time for the cleo tion and added:

all passengers that the ferry slips
would not entitle the bearer to ride.
Many protests were heard against pay
ing the extra nickel. A big sign at
the ferryhouse in Manhattan an
nounced that the municipal ferries
would continue to honor transfers is
sued by the street railway. But con-
ductors on the cars following the or
ders refused to issue transfers for
passage. When q passenger aked for
