WOMEN VOTERS MAKE
DEBUT IN MEXICO
A Hundred and Twenty-Five Persons.
Mostly Women, Attend Banquet
Thursday Night
FOUR ADDRESSES MADE
Judge Lawrence Mcdaniel Discusses
High Cost of Living-League of
Voters Explained.

"What do we know about .he high
cost of living? We know it's high.
What don't we know about the nigh
cost of living? We don't know when
it is going to come down."
Thus spoke Judge Lawrence McDan-
iel, circuit attorney of St. Louis, who
addressed the League Of Women Vot-
ers at their debut Banquet held in
the Hoxsey Hotel at 1880 o'clock, or
the subject of What We Know and
Do Not Know About the High Cost Of
Living He went on to say that the
job of bringing down prices is up TO
the women of the country, because it
is they who buy ninety per cent of the
necessities of life. Prices stay up, he
explained, because people do not know
how to buy and have got the idea thpt
the more thing costs the better it is.
Therefore, the matter Of bringing
prices down is one of education to a
great extent. We must learn to know
when a piece Of material is wool and
when it is not and pay accordingly.
Another important thing is that OF
production. Supply and demand III.
timately determine prices; and unless
the reduced production of today is
stimulated the demand must stay in
excess and thus cause the things which
aredemanded by the public to stay
expensive.

telligent citizen is not the easiest
thing in the world. 1t means definite
; "ort and willingness to keep awake
the issues of the day. Taking the
responsibility with the seriousness
which the women are showing should
bring rejoicing to the hearts of the
, IN of all parties.
"We wish to reiterate as long al
, we can find any one to listen to us, thai
: we are not a partisan organization
, We are not a third party. Women o.
all parties will find work to do with

KIWANIANS WANT
MONTHLY TRADE DAY
lContfnued from page one)


fer for that day only special bar
gain on some article of his stock. No
two merchants will offer the same ar
ticle on the same day. An advertising
committee will probably be appointed
whose province shall be to gather and
censor all advertising. The local pa
pers, it is understood, will carry two
page advs. for two weeks preceding
the trade day. These advs. will con-
tain the announcement of each mer-
chant, mentioning the special bar
gain that he offers, together with the
price.
In order to make these affairs more
interesting, it is possible that prizes
may be offered. For instance: The
couple coming the longest distance
within the trade territory to shop
here on that day would be given a
prize; another would be given the
man bringing the largest number of
shoppers to town cn one wagon that
day. Contests could be arranged
fat mans race, potato race, a tug
of-war and kindred entertainments.
Perhaps, shoppers at the various
stores would be given tickets admit
ting them to a matinee performance
at the movie house. Band concerts
may be arranged.
The instituting Of these trade days
will prove a powerful factor of bring
ing into cloer relationship the merch-
ants and our rural friends. A more
comradely feeling will exist and a
deeper appreciation cf the buying
market will become apparent.
Watch The Sentinel for full an
nouncement of the committees plans
and the date.
