SUFFRACETTES in
BIG MONEY DRIVE
REPUBLICAN WOMEN VOTERS
OUT TO RAISE 81, 100000 FOR
CAMPAIGN PURPOSES.

CHICAGO.-Shades of Mark Han
ma! Look at the women raising
money for political campaign
With card parties, dances, cabarets,
concerts and leap year smokers.
Not a puny little sewing circle
fund of a hundred dollars or so.
Hundreds of thousands A million
is the goal.
Political bosses - mere men
hooted at the idea. What women
could raise wouldn't be a drop in the
bucket, they said, insignificant
alongside the fat contributions the
"boys' used to get up and down
Corporation avenue.
"Women have shown them some
thing" said Mrs. Jacob Baur, chair
man of the woomen's division of the
national republican WAYS and means
committee.

Mrs. Baur was "head collector

she sailed for Europe late in May as
a delegate to the international suf-
frage convention at Geneva, June 6
to II.
eve took in as much as $4,000 in
one day." said Mrs. Baur. "But l
am not going to tell what sort of
party was the best moneymaker
The democratic women might steal
our thunder"
It's no secret, though, that the
big cabaret - where pretty debd-
tantes in Bingham gowns sold flow
ers and toy balloons-wasn't nearly
as successful financially as some of
the community card parties.
"The prizes drew them" said
Mrs. Baur. eve gave away every
thing from Maltese cats to vacuum
cleaners"
At one dancing party the women
also had card games, a palmist,
psychic readers, movies and refresh
ments. And at series of leap year
smokers the women invited men to
escort them. And everybody chipp-
ed in.
Mrs. Baur is no beginner at bust
ness. Some call her the Soda
Water Queen" for she has been run
ming her husbands liquid carbonic
business since he died in 1912 and
left her a couple of million dollars.
She has been active in suffrage and
is credited with leading the harmony
campaign last winter that united
these rival political factions among
women-and started them on their
way to raise Chicago's 100000
share of the women's million dollar
national fund.

The Promoter had the pleasure OF
a call from a representative of one OF

hands. According to Mr.. Phillips the
man instead of obeying started to
ward him, whereupon he fired and the
man fell The bullet entered the
stomach of the negro, who proved to
be Henry Norman. He lived only a
short time afterward.

shot Norman, but he fired because the
man was coming toward him.
Henry Norman was a negro we'll
known in Cuthbert, having lived here
for years. He was about 65 years
old.-Cuthbert Leader.

FABLE OF AESOP
NOW REVISED BY
R. R. ATTORNEY

NEW YOAK.-Much study of the
position of the railroads under fed
eral control and the tender ministra-
tions of the house and senate COM
mittees on interstate commerce has
driven Blewett Lee, general counsel
for Illinois Central, to the classics.
His modernization of familiar fable
runs thus:
The Grasshopper Railroad had
grades which could be climbed only
by jumping and hard use of the wings,
and it was well that it did not have
much to carry, but the Ant Railroad
was low grade line with heavy traf-
fic and heaps of terminals. During
the long summer of private owner
ship the Ant had contented itself with
modest dividends Of only half it's earn
ings, all the rest having been spent in
making its railroad cheaper to oper-
ate; but the Grasshopper had put
nothing back into the property, all
earnings having been divided among
stockholders. Their stock from time
to time made agreeable jumps, and
was the joy of all fliers-indeed those
who unloaded it made sweet song
all the while.
When the winter of government
control had come, the Ant chuckled to

itself, keeping an eye upon the Grass
hopper, and prepared for early use a
merry quip, that since the Grasshop-
per had spent the summer in singing,
it had better spend the winter in
dancing. The Grasshopper, however,
showed no anxiety to get traffic from
the Ant, and finally the Ant ventured
to inquire if the Grasshopper was hun
cry. Hungry" said the Grasshop-
per. Not at ALL You old piker, while
you were fussing around over grades
and terminals and starving your luck

"What?" said the Ant, will they give

ment cannot recapture all the money
that you wasted improving your old
railroad instead of paying it out to
your stockholders, and helping the
market" "I was indeed fool" said
the Ant, and began sorrowfully to
dance, for it was indeed a cold day,
but the Grasshopper sang on more
cheerfully than ever.
