MISS MCDONNELL URGES
WOMEN TO VOTE THIS YEAR

BY Rose Mcdonnell, State Secre-
tary of Women's Nonpartisan Clubs.
Some may not feel friendly to the
ideas of woman in politics. But what
does it matter if it be man or a
woman if she or he will do the things
we want done?
Many of us wanted and asked for
the vote; some of us did not want it
and will oppose it saying the home is
the place for woman and not dab
bling in politics. Why should women
vote. Is it because they are wiser,
smarter and better voters or more
patriotic than the men? No. Most
women will make no such claims, but
humbly admit their ignorance and will
ask to be taught. Did you ever hear
of many men acknowledging their ig-
norance?
Women own property, pay taxes,
etc., Why shouldn't they be instructed
in politics? The day of political cour-
tesy has passed. If you value your
citizenship, use it on November I'd.
Urge your mother, sister and friends
to get out and use theirs. Organize
your women, and see that they pledge
themselves to get out and vote.
Men and women are realizing, as
never before, that there must be new
civic conscience. That we must work
together, not for party platform or
political victory, but for the welfare
of humanity. We are sick of promises
and faithless servants. Let us get out
on November End and elect men and
women to office who will carry out
their promises.
We women are consumers, users and
tenants rather than producers and
makers. We must be ready to help to
correct the legalized wrongs, for which
man is responsible. Women must and
will vote in terms of human life rath-
er than in terms of Special Privilege.
We must help to put an end to some
of the existing conditions, we must
help to check the chaos, cruelties and
human waste that present industrial
life involves. We can only do this by
law-by statute law-by law bearing
the seal of the Government. We must
cooperate with the men and hasten
this correction, because we suffer
from the system just as we'll as the
men do.
Now will you stay at home on No
vember End and allow men and wonn-
en- to be elected to office who are
pledged to obey the mandates of the
plutocracy in the Twin Cities? Do you
want to be dominated by the Indus
trial Autocrats and reduced to peon-
age?
If you do not get out on November
End and see that your neigbors do
likewise.

A ONE-YEAR-OLD-CH CHILD

The Bank of North Dakota might
aptly be compared with one-year-old
child.
Only few weeks ago the young
ster celebrated his first natal ami
versary, and now the Banker Politl-
clans in the Poison I. V. A. are trying
their best to strangle him.
These unscrupulous and unconscion-
able money-lenders want to kill the
infant before he gets to talking to the
people too fluently in terms OF dollars
and cents. Just as soon as he reaches
this age, they know he will win VIDE
popular affection.
In one year of existence the BANK
of North Dakota has made $3,OOO,O 1000
worth Of real estate loans to farmers
mostly in the drouth stricken districts
in western North Dakota, at 3 per
cent. Before the League came into
power I. v. A.. banker-politiclans
charged these impoverished farmers
manv Of whom were poorer than Jobs
nroyerbial turkey-8, 9 and 10 per
cent interest. They are charging the
same rate today.
Now do you see why the banker
politicians have circulated petltlons
to have three measures, all aimed at
wrecling the bank, placed on the bal
lot?
The Peoples bank threw an awful
lar into the th-worhng welllu-
bricated machinery the bankers had
put in motion for robbing and plumb
ering the under dog. The /. Y. A.
rrafters think that Common People
are suckers and will fall for their IN
itiated bills.
VOTE NO FIVE TIMES WHEN
YOU COME TO THE INITIATED
MEASURES ON THE BALLOT

DIES IN HOSPITAL

On Saturday, October 9th occurred
the death, in this city, of one of our
oldest and most prominent citizens,
when John j.. Scully succumbed to
Bright's disease, after an illness Of
but very short time and thus cast
gloom over the city and the whole
county, as deceased was one of the
most widely known men in the coun-
ty. -.
John j. Scully was born April 23,
1863 in Victoria county, Ontario, and
came to Bottineau county in 1886. He
was united in marriage to Anna j.
Gardner in 1890 and to this union was
born two sons, DR.. F. j., located at
Hot Springs, Ark, and who was un-
able to be present at the funeral and
William J. Of this city, two daught-
ers, Mrs. S. Sigurdson, who died in
November 1918, and Geraldine, at
home. Besides his sorrowing wife and
Children deceased leaves a brother, T.
J. Scully of this city and half
brother and half-sister at Sault St.
Marie, Mich, ....
Funeral services were conducted
from the local Catholic Church, Rev.
Father Andrieux being assisted by
Fathers Campeau and Eagleston and
the remains were laid to rest in st.
Marks cemetery, west of this city.
All business places of Bottineau were
closed from 1000 a. m. until noon
the day of the funeral to show their
respect to one of our most highly re-
spected citizens. -,
To Mrs. Scully and children and all
relatives the community extends the
greatest sympathy in the loss Of their
loved one.
In the early days Of Bottineau's his.
tory, Mr.. Scully organized and started
the Patrons Exchange, a general
store, and remained at the head OF
this store until 1918 when he decided
to retire from active business. He had
extensive farm holdings throughout
the county. Deceased was very pro,
pressive business man and favored
any proposition which was for the
betterment Of Bottineau and the COM
munity surrounding and his advice
was always sought in matters OF this
kind.

eternal Fitness of Things"
Will Not Be Sacrificed in
New Campaign of Economy
and the World Will Lose
Nothing in Colorful Good
Taste.
By Mildred LOdewick.

MYTH the Overalls movement
w spreading so rapidly, what
happy br1de-to-be knows but
that her intended hubby may appear
on the fateful day in overalls at the
church! The appropriate garb for
her would then be a calico frock,
when both could send old II. c. L. to
dig in some one else's purse for coin.
And the graduation frock, which is
always a cause OF considerable
anxiety among girls whose families
strive toward economy, could this
year be made OF calico, to correspond
with the overalls in which the boys
will no doubt appear. To lend the
desired effect Of uniformity. white Or
CANDY sashes could be prescribed for
all the girls in the class. AS the
trend toward economy continues,
summer will probably see calico and
ging'ham bathing suits at the popular
beaches, worn over the regulation
one-piece jersey
AS nifty a suit as could be desired
Is offered in my design, where cres
cent shaped patches of taffeta silk in
dark blue, apple green and rose form
a novel and pretty trimming.
The. bridal gown is OF a dainty
fiower-sprigged white calico, elabora-
ted with rich cream colored lace.
Narrow ruffies of 1t cascade down the
long side tunics. while wider width
serves to lengthen the short, scant
skirt. A flouncing width of the same
lace forms an adorable apron in front,
over which pure white satin ribbon
streamera drop. In delightful contrast
of color and texture. A white tulle
veil held with an orange e-fiower
wheath completes the costume.
The graduation frock at the left is
economically trimmed with white or
CANDY plaitings. The skirt is open
at the sides to reveal foundation OF
organdy, or If preferred, mere insert
ed sections. while a sash OF the same
offers its crisp bow at the back.

OF railroad workers. Warren S. Stone.
Grand Chief OF the Brotherhood of Loo .

Labor Board to-day in presenting the
wage demands OF the engineers. A liv-

There was a tremendous rush, ono

Brooklyn, Bath Beach and Coney
Island brought a surge which swept
the girl directly in front of a north

The other story was told by Carl

GERMANY IS like
A PARALyTIC, SAYS
BRITISH PREMIER
Lloyd George Also Tells Amer
ican Correspondents That
Europe Needs US

SAN RENO. April 90 ASSOCIATED
Press) Premier Lloyd George OF
Great Britain, in an informal talk
to-day with the American newspaper
correspondents, said there was a real
need Of the participation Of the United
States in the discussion Of the Turk
ish problems. If the United States
did participate, her views would be
likely to prevail, he declared.
THE impression formed from the
reports OF British officials within
Germany" the Premier said, sab
stantlally is the impotence Of the
Government. The limbs do not obey
the central authority. The situation
in Germany, as seen from within, re-
sembles that OF a paralytic recover
ing from a stroke. The brain gives
an order and there is either no re-
sponse or only a partial one by the
extremities. Commands are given in
Berlin that are often not executed.
"The British Government has never
proposed as a means of compelling
Germany to fulrill the terms Of the
treaty that sre should starve. Her
food situation now is deplorable.
I'VE are very sorry-sincerely sorry
that the United States Government is
not taking part in the settlement Of
the Turkish questions. We need n"
advice of the United States, and we
should like you to take the mandate of
Constantinople."
Mr.. Lloyd George was asked his
judgment upon the last German note
asking permission to increase tho Ger
man Army from 100, 900 to 100000 men.
"That is a question l cannot answer
until 1 have the opinion of the military
advisers" Mr.. Lloyd George replied.
IF the military advisers say that iOO,-
900 men are sufficient to keep internal
order in Germany then let the army
remain at 100000. We shall have to
consider the question very seriously
The coming 10 San Reno of Rob-
ert' Underwood johnson, American
Ambassador to Italy, as observer for
the government at Washington, was
mentioned. The Premier said he had
had no official notification of 1t.
but a taker of notes cannot help
u.s." he declared. What we want is
an American plenipotentiary who can
tell us what the American Govern
ment thinks ought to be done and
who can answer questions and make
proposals"
