MARRYING WON'T BAR
WOMEN FROM VOTING

Topeka, Kans., Oct. 1.-The edict
issued by the office of the city
clerk here that women who wish
to vote at the November election
must not marry between October
% and November g." has no legal
foundation, according to Mrs. Lila
Day Monroe, Topeka woman law
yer and champion of woman's
rights. ,.-F -.
"A woman may marry any day
between October 20 and November
2 and not forfeit her right to vote
Mrs. Monroe said. THE taking Of
a mans name by a bride is a GUS
tom, but it is not compulsory by
law that she do so. There would be
no crime committed upon the fran
chise of the country if a woman
were married and would appear be-
fore the voting board under her
maiden name" .-... ..a
The view that a married woman
cannot vote under her maiden
name is firmly held by the city
clerks office. A ruling from tho
attorney general may be asked to
settle the question. ...... .. t.s

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
BUTTER NUTS.
(By HowarS u. Garis.)

Uncle Wiggily! oh. Uncle Wig
gHy" called Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy, the muskrat housekeeper
lady, one day as she came from
the kitchen Of the hollow stump
bungalow, where she had been rat
Ting the pots and pans.
Yes. What is it, Nurse Jane ?"
asked the bunny rabbit gentleman,
twinkling his pink nose on one
side of his face, and twinkling his
whiskers on the other. Are the
eggs playing tag around the table.
or did the nutmeg crater scratch
the lump of sugar."
Neither one" laughed Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. But have started
to bake O. cake and l cannot go on
until | have some butter. I'm all
out Of butter, but didn't know it
when l started to bake. So if you
want a cake you'll have to go to
the two and three-cent store and
get me some butter"
"Pll CO." offered Uncle Wiggily,
who was very fond of cake. So
he put on his tall silk hat and,
taking his red, white and blue
striped barber pole rheumatism
crutch, off he hoped over the
fields and through the woods.
Uncle Wiggily had not gone very
far before he came to place where
Toodle and Noodle. the beaver
boys, whose last name was Flat
Tail, had made a mud slide. Toodle
and Noodle had splashed water on
a smooth, slippery hill of clay and
down it they were sliding. just as
you slide down hill on your sled.
Come on and have a slide, I'm
Gle Wiggily!" called Toodle.
ITS lots of fun" added Noodle.
THANK you, ! believe I'll try
slip or two" spoke the bunny gem
tleman. And, old and sedate as he
was, Uncle Wiggily took
off his tall silk hat, laid aside his
crutch and slid with the beaver
boys. He got his tail and hind legs
a little muddy but he didn't mind
that as he could wash in the brook.

| hope to roam along the crystal
rivers shore, eXulting in that final
home where sorrow soaks US never
more. But still my thoughts will
wander thence at times, when
choruses are stilled; III lean
against the jasper fence, and with
strange longings Ill be filled.
Strange longings for the old elm
trees beneath whose boughs l used
to stray; strange longings for the
Kansas breeze, that blew our coun-
ty scat away New splendors rise
at every turn, new glories every
hour l find; yet my old heart must
ever yearn for those dear scenes
l left behind.

Then Johnnie and Billie Bushy-

they gnawed open a lot of the nuts
for Uncle Wiggily. And the nuts
we're so like butter that Nurse Jane
made a cake with them after all,
and the squirrel boys each had

OIL LANDS BRINGING
WEALTH TO WYOMING

3 Cheyenne, .Wyo.. oct. l.-Some
idea of the wealth which Wyoming
is cleaning from state-owned oil
lands was gained through the an
nouncement that the September
receipts from these lands were
nearly 100000. Last months fig
ures broke all previous records.
Daily receipts averaged $15, 500,
about S2,250 for each hour that the
office was open for business, Land
office officials have figured that it
amounted to S37 a minute and
more than 60 cents a second.

to go, expressing its unlimited power
through its local leagues. Every Off
Ger of the league is pledged to put his

the personality of the officers of the
National Negro Business League is no

A special sermon is being suggested
for the first day of the campaign,

But when President Scarborough

the noise ceased. He succeeded in get

until the next faculty meeting.

To All Lodges and Members of the
Order, Households, Patriarchies, L.
G. NJ. Councils and Juveniles
Greeting:
KTO MAN is fit to be grand otiicet
IN of the Grand United oruer OIL
L odd Fellows in America unless
he regards himself as the servant oil
the order and not as its master.
1t is in this spirit that we are pre-
pared to face the great responsible
ties which rest upon us as your grahu
officers-elect.
After full and fair trial in Court
of Common Pleas No. 3 in the city oil
Philadelphia, before an impartial Judge
and jury, unanimous verdict was
rendered on April 23 1920, that we are
the officers and members of the. sub
committee of management duly elected
at the nineteenth Il. NJ G.
An effort will, of course, be made
to have the verdict set aside by the
court in which the case was tried.
Whatever the result of this effort may
he the case will be carried to the SUI
preme Court of Pennsylvania, and we
are confident that by that tribunal the
finding of the jury will be approved.
We are accordingly preparing to take
D. over the duties of the subcommittee OF
management as soon as the supreme
Court directs that judgment be en-
tered upon the verdict. TIL TINS nap
pens no decision is final and there
fore YOU must not allow yourselves To
be disturbed by any reports or ruInors
of any intermediate proceeding.
+, Meanwhile we ask you TO note the
following important points:
l. 1t results from the verdict that
y the next regular and constitutions b.
NJ. c. is the +. NJ. c. which Will as
semble in Wilmington, Delaware, on
September IL, 1920.
.. As many lodges as possible
y should choose delegates to the VIII
mington b. NJ. c. and should forward
their credentials to Brother Robert d.
Nelson, grand secretary-elect, at the
Armstrong building, 1884 Lombard
,street, Philadelphia, Pa. We have
opened temporary office at this adj
dress until possession of the perma-
'nent offices of the subcommittee OF
management has been delivered to us
,by the court.
3. To prevent complication of ac-
counts, we advise lodges for the pres
ent to continue to make remittances
trn r
Twelfth and Spruce streets, Philadel-
phia In due time he Will be re-
uuired to account to Grand Secretary
Elect Nelson, so that lodges RENTING
TO him will get the credits to which
they are entitled.
T. With so many forces tending 10
pull the people of this country apart
this is no time for holding rival con-
yentions within the limits of a patri-
otic order like ours. If Brother MGR
sIs attempts to hold a convention in
New York City he will be taxing q
wholly unnecessary step. we say TINS
because all properly qualified dele
gates attending the Il. NJ. G. in VIII
mington will be assured of square
deal and fair chance to vote.
;. We have no means OF knowing
what statements will be made to you
by Brother Morris and the other
grand officers whom we have been
elected to succeed. If, however. you
desire correct and impartial informa-
zion you can get it by communicating
