WILSON FOR THIRD TERM
South Dakota Democrats Give
President Their Unqualified
Endorsement
UNITED Press Disparch.l


Washington, December 3.-Politi-
clans in Washington eagerly, awaited
today the reaction throughout the
country as result of the indorse-
ment in the South Dakota presiden-
tial convention of President Wilson
for third term. That the president
might actually run for third term is
considered extremely unlikely. 1t is
said that his failing health would not
permit him TO do so.
Endorsement of him was seen as an
Endorsement of his administration
and of any man he might see fit to
propose as the next candidate for
the party, probably William G. Nc
Adoo, who would run with the pro-
mise OF giving the nation n business
administration and would pledge
himself to favor ratification of the
peace treaty If it still hung fire al
that time.
Pending a thorough survey of the
country other democratic possibili-
ties are holding to the background.
The Endorsement OF General Wood by
the republicans was expected gen.

Iowa Sheriff Is In Quest Of lnforma-

William WlerSma, Sherlm At orange
City, Iowa, is seeking information
that will assist in locating some rela-
tive or friend of man who was
found dead on November 10, 1913
one mile west of Ireton, Iowa. The
body had been placed in a hay stacb
and partially covered up with the feet
wrapped up with Sioux City Journal
dated October 8, 1919.
He had evidently met with foul
play as the thin bone at the lower
edge of his nose was broken as
though he might have been struck
across the face with some bar. He
was about forty-five or fifty years
old, five feet tall, weighed about Ia
pounds, dark hair sprinkled with grey
and cut short all over, and wore a
nearly new dark brown suit.
Some of his clothing indicated tina.
it had evidently been purchased from
clothing store in the Utica building
Des Moines, la. No papers were found
on him. All the naturalization that
was on him is a tattoo mark on his
left forearm of a cross and anchor

initials C. t. below it. Any informa-
ton regarding the identity of the
man should be sent to Sheriff Wiers-

ishing sight for the stranger In Fin
land is the number OF women engaged
In almost every field Of employment.
In England during the war one be-
came accustomed 10 the sight of wo-
men performing various kinds of work
in which previously only men were
engaged. But in Finland the visitor
gets the impression that the women
are doing everything. They even
esvre as porters on sleeping cars.
Not only are they at heavy manual
work in fields and factories, but
they have become skilled as mech
anics and have invaded business
offices to an extent that Is probably
undreamed of in any other country.
In banks, the proportion Of women
employees to men appears to be about
ten to one. In the biggest financial
institutions in Helsingfors, women
hold positions involving great re-
sponsibility and calling for exception
al ability.
At the Finnish foreign Office, the
Associated Press correspondent no.
ticed that women were holding Office
that would be entirely beyond the
aspirations of their sisters in the
State Department at washington or
the British Foreign Office This
change has come about almost over
night. Finland's man power has been
greatly depleted, and large part or
what is left is required for military
service sStf
The Finnish business woman is re-.
niarkably keen and intelligent She
has kind of masculine interest and
absorption in he work that seems to
admit of no margin for sentiment or
frivolity. Size dresses simply and
smartly, as do the majority OF the
city bred women of this country. An
American walking through the prin-
uipal streets of Helsingfors might
well believe. judging from the cos
tunes and brisk walk of the Finnish
women. that he was in the heart OF
Chicago.
