$40. The average number in an
American family is five-making
a total average tax of $500 on each
family. A majority, if not all, of
the women living on farms, or in
rural sections. know what hardships
this years taxes have imposed
upon us. We also know what hard
work is; what saying is; what self
denial aud self-sacrificing is. We
can endure these things for the love
We haye for our children. But if
! the government takes our boys by
automatic peace-time conscrip-
ton" and then taxes as until our
children and grand children must
go cold and hungry our ambition
for their future will never be real
lied. Do we women want the affairs
of the government conducted like
this ? Can't we see danger ahead?
Are we willing to give fat" jobs
to men in the army, enabling their
families to live in luxurious COM
fort, while we work the lustre from
our eyes and the color from our
cheeks to pay their salaries and give
our boys to do the fighting? No.
not me. There are those who
argue that large army is necessary
in order to prevent war, but it is my
opinion if the women of this coun-
try will work as hard to prevent a
war as they did to win the last one.
the next war would never come.
Every woman should register and
therby qualify herself to vote, if
at any time she should desire to do
so. With our help this country
may live at peace with all the world.
Whatever the voting women of this
nation decide shall be, HAS TO BE.
The problem is no longer to obtain
power. We have the power, and
our only problem now is how to
intelligently exercise that power.
Some man who knew the ways
of congress and had watched the
preparation of estimates year after
year. has said: There is no hope
for the people at large-for the
world-unless you women save us
from the curse of militarism." We
are 27.OOO.OOO strong. Let US be
up and doing
In conclusion / want to say that
it is my great desire that every
woman may register and become
jqnalified to vote. for the time is
coming when we will not only see.
but feel. the need of our voices in
the political affairs of the country.
Be We also ready.

OF Some Advantage to Aberdeen,

Mr.. ]. w. Mooney. general
agent Mississippi Warrior Ser
vice, War Department. inland
waterways, was in the city Mon
day in the interest of securing
traffic from Aberdeen via that
route to and from New Orleans.
The Warrior river from Cordova.
Ala, has been dredged and equip
ped with locks until now if is
navIgable all the year providing
a continuous waterway cOnnec-
tons with New Orleans.
Government expenditure on
this and other projects TO facili-
tate waterway traffic has been
stupendOus during the last two
years, until now movement OF
freight has been considerably
facilitated and the rate materially
lowered for favorably situated
points. Mr.. Mooney stated that
shipments in car load lots from
Aberdeen to New Orleans sent
via the Mississippi Warrior route
would bear a 20 per cent. less
carriage rate than if sent by rail.
With this advantage in trans
portation, il is easily foreseen that
most heavy cargoes from this
point such as sugar. coffee. mo-
lasseS, lumber. ETC., will be sent
and brought from New Orleans
via the Mississippi Warrior route.
