DISTRICT TO
BE ORGANIZED
First District Women Will be Ready
for Election Tasks When No.
vember Ar
rives

FORT MADISON, Sept. %. = With
the campaigns for the national cleo
ition growing hotter daily and the race
becoming more and more tight, women
voters are beginning to take more
than a passing interest in the affairs
of the day and when November rolls
around the polls will be filled with
feminine ballot casters.
First district women are already
fighting hard for their candidates and
one of the hardest fights in the his
tory of the district is being put UP
by the women members of the coun-
ties near here.
Mrs. E. M. Wesner, district chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee of the women's division of the
republican party, announced the ap-
pointment of the following county
chairman:
Des Moines county-Mrs. Frank
Perkins, of Burlington.
Henry county-Mrs. Summer Smith,
Of Mt. Pleasant.
Louisa county-Mrs. L. N. Farber,
of Wapello.
Jefferson county-Miss Mary Stew
er, of Fairfield.
Washington county-Mrs C. W.
Mclaughlin, of Washington.
Lee county-Mrs. Joseph Corder, of
Fort Madison.
! Van Buren, county-Mrs. H. James
| OF Pennington.
Mrs Wesner consulted friends in
making these selections and it ap-
peared that the appointments would
be received with general satisfaction.
| She felt assured that the work was
in competent hands. AS to the du
| ties of the chairman, they would be
announced later.
/ The first thing was for every chair
man to get busy and raise money for
the campaign. 1t is evident that the
women do not intend to corrupt the
electorate by the lavish use of funds
The total quota for the first Iowa
congressional district is $500, being
exactly 800 for each county. That
will not be a big sum to get together
But the getting it will give the chair
men an opportunity to get acquainted
with the work in hand and with the
workers.
Mrs. Wesner has not fully decided
upon the part that she will take in
the campaign. She has suffered
something approaching nervous
breakdown. She hates the idea of
leaving the work when it is just be-
ginning to grow interesting and i'm
portant, but her physician is urging
her to lay aside everything elese and
to think of her health only-which
means a long sojourn in the south.
She is inclined to disobey the doctor
unless she feels that it will be i'm
possible for her TO carry the work
further which has been well begun and
upon which she has bestowed much
time and thought and effort

CANTLEY ASSISTS IN CAP
 TURF OF TWO "GIN HOUSES

Federal prohibition agent O. G. Cantley of this city assisted by Fed eral prohibition agent Hopper of Lit tie Rock and Sheriff Roy Golden of Clark county, further assisted by Messrs. Jess and Tom Hays of this city,ca blurred two stills last Tuesday, nine miles west of Gurdon, within two miles of Summers switch. The prop rietors of the "gin houses" had made their escape so that there was mo- thing left for the officers to do but take revenge out of the stills, which they promptly did by shooting them full of holes with their revolvers, and therebyr endered them forever use- less.
 The stills were of the "jitney" var iety, one 55 gallon capacity and the other five gallon anw were formerly used as oil containers, neither being of copper.
 Officer Cantley says that he isfind- ing plenty of reform work to do and that the Government keeps hlrn on the move. He was deputy sherife o. Nevada county before going into the government prohibition service.

MARY PICKFORD REPORTED
AS COMING TO NEVADA

There was a ripple of excitement a
Minden and Gardnerville recently
when a rumor became current thai
Mary Pickford. the well-known NOV
ing picture actress. had engaged
apartments at the Minden Inn and in
tended to sojourn In Nevada for a
period Of six months. says the Gard
nerville Record-Courier.
The management Of the Mjnden
Inn denied that any such reservation
had been made at that hotel by Miss
Pickford, but even this fiat denial did
not stop the rumors.
1t will be remembered that some
months ago, when Mrs. Fairbanks
sued her actor husband for a divorce
the fair and winsome Mary, was
named as a correspondent.
If the report be true, that Mary is
to reside in Nevada for six months,
it is undoubtedly true that her motive
is to take advantage of the laws OF
this state, which make a quick divorce
possible.

In view of the fact that the plans
Of the proposed Nevada Heroes Me-
mortal building. to be erected in Car
son City this year, make provisions
for state headquarters of the Ameri-
can Legion in the sub-basement of
the edifice. 1t has been suggested that
the same should be made, in addition,
a state museum for the display and
preservation OF relics and trophies of
the late war, collected and donated
by Nevadans and others who served
in the camps and at the battle front.
The merit of the proposition is be-
yond question. 1t is said that pos
sibly each and every man who saw
service in Europe has in his posses
sion some article that he would gladly
see in a collection at the Legion's
headquarters, where it would be pre-
served and make up part of a dis
play that would be Of great interest
and value-to be more appreciated as
times goes on. 1t Is understood that
men high in Legion circles in this

matter and that they will v.c5ably
