MATERIAL AND APPARATUS

Many items Of material and apparatus are
involved IN the current maintenance Of the prop
crtE, entirely apart from the enormous quantities
involved IN the construction OF new property, and
this represents large item of expense. There has
been no reduction any indication Of reduction,
IN the price OF these essential articles in practically
Gil OF which the labor, freight and hauling cost is
by far the largest proportion Of the total cost
We know that tIe manufacturers of telephone
equipment and material have orders booked for
two years in advance, with a constantly increasing
demand and which in turn makes a reduction in
price III the near future most improbable.

TRADE WITH RUSSIA.

Nothing in the days news
from abroad approaches IN signl-
ficance the statement that the al
lied nations were planning enter
inc into trade relations with Rus
sia.
Coupled with the news that the
allied nations, and Germany
were to leave no stone unturned
to restore trade relations with
Germany, comes another appar-
emily authenticated story to the
effect the allies had convinced
France that broken and help
less Germany was a menace to
the prosperity of the continent
and France had consented to
plans looking to the re-establish-
ment Of Germany, financially
and commercially.
The two items indicate that
there is an early prospect OF Eu-
rope getting to work and when
Europe becomes again productive
the menace of radicalism is re-
moved and the distress and want
prevalent on the continent can be
expected to give way to reason
able cQntententment and pros
perity.
There is no use to decry the
fact that normal busines gets re-
suits that nothing else does. The
reason for this is not so much i'll
the returns in dollars and cents
as it is in the fact that when
business is normal living is nor
NAL and the thoughts and acts OF
people are normal.
The signs from abroad are good
signs. Let us hope they do not
fail in this epochal time.-Bar

NEW EPOCH FOR WOMEN

Under the above caption, Mr..
Geo. Bass prominent national
suffrage worker, has written the
follwing concerning the progress
of the fight of the women to
gain suffrage;
The fifty-first and last conven-
tion of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association was
a wonderful and inspiring occa-
sion. No woman who attended
it will ever forget it. Many who
have long served in that cause
under leaders who have gone on
found it a grave and serious at
fair, and when they sang "Auld
Lang Syne, they saw the faces
of departed comrades through
the tear-dimned eyes of me,
mory.
And so the old association is
gone, and there is an epoch
closed in the story of woman S
progress. All these years woman
has sought the key that opened
the next door. Now, within a few
days or weeks that door will
swing wide. The key IS in her
hands and the National Ameri-

Has lad Stomach trouble for Seven
Years

Theodore Sanford of Kenmore,
Mich, has had stomach trouble for
seven years and could not eat vege-
tables or fruit without pain in the
stomach and restless nights. Bv
taking Chamberlain Tablets he is
now able to eat vegetables or fruit
without causing pain or sleepless-
ness. If troubled with indigestion
or constipation give these Tablets a
trial. They are certain to prove
beneficial.

can Woman Suffrage association
and its leaders, past and present,
have put it there.
But, with the opening of that
door, what is to come next? The
suffrage hosts are not willing to
rest from their labors. They have
organized a League of Women
Voters, which they hope will
take up the work that lies be-
yond the door. They believe it
possible to mobilize the women
of the nation behind certain
principles, and they have been
bold enough to attempt this at
the very beginning Of national
political campaign.
From the standpoint Of the
Democratic women, the entire
meeting was success. 1t gave
us several valuable object les
sons. | think every one OF us re
.joiced in her heart that there was
no divided allegiance among us
and that we were SIMPLY Demo
Gratis, not partisans of this or
that or the other candidate. One
of the difference between the
parties is that from the time Of
Hamilton down, the Democratic
leaders have preferred to let the
people have as large part as
possible in the selection pf their
candidates. While we have many
receptive candidates, they are
not making active, not to say
acrimonious campaigns for the
nominations. We do still believe
that the office should seek the
man, and | very much doubt
whether the numerous Republi-
can activities, which were con
spicuous from start to finish,
have done much to further the
interests of the parXt
If any Of us has ever been
tempted to seek a momentary adj
vantage by slight stretching of
the truth, the reaction thai fol-
lowed the ungenerous and mis-
leading statement published by
the Republicans, claiming credit
for the passage of the federal
amendment, was enough to show
us the folly of using such tactics
in appealing to Intelligent wom-
en-and, politically speaking,
women have an acuteness ihat is
going to amaze our professional
politicians.
The adoption of a resolution
endorsing the League of Nations
will, | know bring great graft
fication to the heart OF the presi-
dent. Every suffragist knows the
efforts he made in our behalf
the one, solitary president this
nation has ever had to raise his
voice for votes for women. / am
glad that the suffragists as
sembled gave their voices for the
League of Nations, the one tam
gible obstacle between civiliza-
ton and the horrors of war.

FOR ITCHING TORTURE
Use Antiseptic Liquid Zemo

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes skin
diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples, rashes,
blackheads, in most cases give way
to Zemo. Frequently, minor blemishes
disappear overnight. Itching usually
stops instantly. Zemo is safe, anti
septic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. = 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

vasron, ILL.,, was arrested by Chief
Hennemann Saturday afternoon for
attempting to pass street car which
had stopped to discharge and take on

lned in between the automobile and
the car step. the auto was SO close.
1.-THE chief said.
The chief claims that he motioned
to Wallace twice to stop, but that
/ Wallace failed to heed his warnings.
The chief grabbed him as he stopped
by the side of the car. He asked him
what was the matter that he didn't
stop and Wallace said, according to
the chief, that his brakes did not
work Later when Wallace was being
quizZed at the station he told the
chief he didn't know it was viola
ton of the law not to stop. He
thought if he was careful, that was
enough, the chief said.

tof giving bonds and returning to Keo-

guilty and paid fine.
