old bell, said TO have been cast in

and very loud. The adobe walls at

From Oil Circular.

Chadron, Neb. Frank r. Fos-
ter. an itinerant carpenter, is
under arrest here on the charge
of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses. In his travels about the
country Foster picked up some
oil stock literature in which was
related the story of a poor Wild

certain benefcent corporation
and soon afterward received a
dividend check for 5000. To

When the boss banker found
it among his assets he set the

III. III. Motter Gives Kansas
Women Much Credit.
Making Great Progress With
Their Organization.

1T was no mistake to allow women
official places, side by side with men
in Republican politics in Kansas"
said H. H. Motter, chairman of the
Republican state central committee
TO-DAY when he viewed the gathering
of women in Topeka today for rally
to the service of the party.
Nearly one hundred women, repre-.
senting five districts of the state, or
sixty counties proved that the conf
dence placed in women by the party
by allowing them official positionsfor
the first time in the political history
of the state. was not misplaced.
Women have made more rapid
progress in organizing the state for
the party than have men," Motter said.
when women get busy in organiza-
ton they get results. Sometimes men
do, and often men do not"

1.-TWO years ago 1t was difficult to
organize women for political work, -
in war work. But now women have
changed places with men, and have
the front line trenches in the present
political war"
Women are naturally politicians
and they'll succeed in the new duties
given them in politics." Mrs. Fosseen
said. After taking such an important
part in executive work during the war
they are capable in every way of
taking part in politics"
Mrs. Fosseen, prominent club wom-
an of Minneapolis, and wife of a MEM
ber of the Minnesota legislature. will
have visited nearly every state by the
conclusion of her tour for thesspeak-
ers' bureau of the party. Until this
year she has never taken a public part
in politics.
Organization of the state for the
party, with a woman vice president in
every county and in every precinct IL
possible, is the object of the meeting
today. A large part of the counties
Of the state already have organizations
perfected.
A lively part of the program will
be the singing of the G. o. P. songs
recently adopted by the Republican
state central committee. Mrs. o. w.
Doing of Topeka, as chairman of the
music committee, has the musical con-
tribution well prepared.
Women of the Sixth. Seventh and
Eighth districts will hold similar
injecting at Wichita on Thursday, when
Mrs. Fosseen will speak. The public
is invited to the meetings today.
