the members of several state legisla
lures concluded it was their patriot
duty to meet in special session am
act on the woman suffrage amend
ment.

goods on which the BIGGEST profits
are made.
So far no one has manifested any
desire to obtain the services for his

more accurate indirect fire to hit the
cuspidors.
Although many people are very IL
regular in their working habits, they

Motto of large part of the popu-
lation: If you don't do any work to-
day, you are sure to have something
to do tomorrow.
