Zion S Oldest Woman
Votes for Harding
Grandma Delilah King, Aged 103 Years,
Goes to Polls Tuesday and Casts
Her Vote for Harding.

Zion, III: Grandma King, the old
est woman in Lake County went to
the polls yesterday and cast her vote.
notwithstanding the fact that it was
cold and snow was falling, Mrs. King,
now in her 103rd year (she will be 103
on January 23rd) went bravely to the
polls and voted for Senator Harding
and all of the other Republicans. 1t
was no doubt a proud moment in her
life, for she may not vote again, al
though she declares that she will live
to see the Lord come for His saints
She tells a story that is alive with hu-
man interest and shows the Christian
character of the woman.
Zone day / was lying in bed very
sick, she told newspaperman. at
was early morning, just before the
dawn of day AS | lay there in bed
the Christ suddenly appeared to me
and stood at the foot of my bed. He
looked down at me and smiled. / saw
Him so plain that l could even see the
fingernails on His hand. He had q
white beard and wore white robes. AS
he looked down at men compassion
ately He suddenly drew his skirts
aside, as much as to say, Don't touch
mel Then he vanished.
Il felt so overjoyed at his visit that
jumped out of bed and kneeling
down at my bedside | prayed Lord
take. me Home!' The answer came
quite distinctly You shall live to see
me come again as | WENT.
And, so, Grandma King expects to
live TO see the Lord come.
She raised large family at Oak
land, California, and her eldest living
daughter is said to be eighty years OF
age. Mrs. King was healed of cancer
in the mouth through the prayer Of
faith when DR.. Dowie prayed for her
at Oakland in 1880. She has retained
her health from that time to this day

Jazz and syncopated effusions, wit,
laughter and costume array than Gus

appear at the Rhode Opera House next
Monday night.
This colossal organization comes di-

RED LITERATURE
SCATTERED HERE
Boycott Election Propa-
ganda Of Communist Par
ty Is Spread Here.
SEEK STRANGER NOW

Kenosha had evidence of the attempt
of the national communist party to
boycott the election" when pamphlets
similar to those distributed in New
York City on Monday afternoon, were
found in circulation here this morning
and turned over to federal officials for
investigation. The papers denounced
the government in the most radical
terms and appealed to workers to boy
colt the election rather than have a
part in the government. 1t is the
worst "Red" literature that has ever
been circulated in this city and imme-
date steps were taken by the police
and federal officials to apprehend all
who may have had any part in the
spread Of the propaganda in Kenosha.
Passed By Small Boys.
The dodgers were circulated in Ke-
nosha restaurants and pool rooms by
small boys, who declared that they
knew nothing of the pamphlets. 1t IS
said that some stranger paid them for
passing the bills and then mysteriously
disappeared. The police were given a
description of this man and have been
on the lookout for him. None .of the
boys was taken into custody but in
every place where copy Of the sedi-
tious literature was found, at was de-
clared that it had been left there by a
small boy
1t is believed that the attempt here
was nipped in the bud before the agi-
tators had an opportunity to circulate
their pernicious literature broadcast
in Kenosha.
The incident connects Kenosha up
with the nationwide scheme staged by
the communists to call boycott of the
election, which was discovered Monday
afternoon in New York City when three
men were arrested for posting large
bills of this nature. Mystery surround
ed the incident in New York much the
same as it was here but federal Off
Gals believe that they will be able to
ferret out the identity of the leaders
Of the pernicious movement.
The statements in the circulars were
so radical as to arouse the immediate
ire of all law abiding citizens. 1t de-
nopnced the election as a flake" and
urged boycott of it. 1t also urged
the overthrow of the government and
the establishment Of soviets. "Hail to
the Workers Councils and the Dicta-
torship of the Proletariat!" was the
significant ending of the appeal.

Farmers to Join Council.

1t was voted at the session on Tues
day evening that representatives of
the farmers of Kenosha county should
be received as regular members of the
trade council. This is something of
an innovation to trade unionism and
it is considered the outgrowth of the
close political relations between the
farmers and the men of the unions
during the campaign just closed The
union is to be cemented within the
trades council and it is an open secret
that the promoters of the union hope
for very strong organization.

through her marriage, of the Duchess de
Chaulnes. The Due had won many medals
in the trenches, and had added new lustre
to his family name.
During his convalescence on the great
green lawns OF Dampierre, the Due began
to take more than nephew's interest in
the widow-duchess. She had been his
nurse, and now he asked her, in that blunt
straightforward way that soldiers learn to
use in their wooing, II she would not
change her black for a wedding gown,
and her title to that of Duchess de
Creusot
She said she wouldn't. He said, which
only means that you will, some day, be-
cause, I'll never stop bothering you"
She replied to this that she was afraid
to fall In love because she could not tell
what the family council would say to any
one who wanted to marry her, and that II
Il should dismiss a suitor whom she really
had learned to love, then her unhappiness
would begin all over again. And she didn't
want to risk H.

most important. Never, said the family
council. must she fall in love with anyone
who would not be fit to become the step
father and guardian of the family heir
the young Due de Chaulnes.
The young duchess declared she would
spend her life in devotional memory of her
husband. and in reaulng the history of
his noble ancestors, and never think of
another man. After a while, though,
there came a time when she thought the
thoughts of youth and wondered.
It was then she asked just what that
order of family council meant about her
never falling in love unless with one who
would be acceptable as a guardian of the
young Due de Chaulnes, now fast growing
into promising boyhood
The order was duly interpreted. 1t
could not prevent her, of course, from
marrying anyone whom she might select
But IL that new husband did not measure
up to the standards imposed by the "con-
sell de fanNlle," then the little due, her
son. would be taken from her and she
would be banished from the ducal circle
which meant from all noble French
society. Few homes would dare receive a
Duchess de Chaulness who had been ostra-
sized by her family council.
"And IL | defy the council TO take my
child away from me" the American
duchess asked
"That would not serve you at ALL" the
answer was. "The courts Of France always
sustain the findings OF a family council in
such a matter, and would make the order
a formal degree Of court upon application
by the Due de Luynes. You might steal
your son away to America, but II you did
that you never could land in France again
without being made to suffer the penalty
for kidnapping and the Due could never
come to his native land again without being

at once taken into legal custody and re-
stored to the keeping of his ducal rela
tives"
But am / never to marry again?" the
duchess asked plaintively.
"Oh, there is no bar to that" the oracle
of the family council assured her But
you must remember, that your son is the
heir to not only one but several dukedoms,
and he would be much embarrassed. as
would his family, if his mother were any
thing less than a duchess, or, indeed, IL
his mother we're duchess ranking be-
meath, in the ducal scale, the Due de
Chaulnes himself"
But" cried Theodore, there are almost
no dues at all, in all France, and none
abroad except those with royal blood, who
rank as high as my son will when he
comes into all his titles. or course,
don't think | shall ever want to marry
again, for there hardly can be man in
the world as noble and good as was the
Due but suppose | should must | remain
single all my life because there are so
few men of rank equal to mine and my
sons?"
You must answer that question your
own way, my dear" said the spokesman
for the family council. That is your prob
lem in being a Duchess
so twelve years went by. During all
this time the young duchess thought very
little, It is true, of her problem in being
a duchess" because she could never for
get the wonderful husband she had had for
so short time, and the heart breaking
that came with his tragic death. She
never put aside her mourning in all these
years, although after a time she began
gradually to take her proper place in
French society and to entertain and be
entertained in the beautiful Chateaux of
old France Whenever she went, though
she went in sombre black. She devoted

her years to the bringing up of her little
son.
Although her husband, in the gaiety of
his youth. had spent The generous fortune
he inherited from his grandmother, the
Duchess de Chevreaus, the great castle
of Dampierre, where the de Luynes live,
and where the family council of the de
Chaulnes family sits, was thrown open
TO her, and here she made her home. Her
dearest friend always has been the proud
Duchess dUzzes, the actual leader OF
French society, and her sister-in-law.
One after another OF the most desirable
young men OF France, England and Spain
have paid court to the young duchess.
And one after another each one of these
has been dismissed by the family council.
Some of them might have made the most
satisfactory husbands-except that they
would have taken from the mother Of the
Due de Chaulnes her title and estate, and
she no longer would have been duchess.
Then there came to Dampierre, to re-
cover from wounds earned in battle, the
dashing young Due de Creusat, a nephew,

died, and she came to America. The cir
cumstances under which Mr.. Shonts died
we're so distressing to the Duchess that
she wrote back to France of her double
grief The young Due, hearing from his
relative of the added sufferings of the
Duchess, sped to America to be close to
her If she needed him.
Gaby Deslys came to America on the
same steamer and, always on the alert for
an opportunity to embellish the notoriety
she had gained as a.he favorite of royalty,
she caused it to be announced that the
distinguished young Due de Creusot had
come to America in pursuit of her. She
knew that a de Creusot would never dis
pute woman's boastings
1t was very embarrassing for the puzzled
Due, and it came about that though he came
to America to help the Duchess, it was she
who helped him. Newspaper reporters, set
upon his trail by the piquant Gaby, would
not let him alone There was no place for
him to hide-until the Duchess opened her
home to him and took him into hiding
there as the guest OF her mother, Mrs.
Shonts
Propinquity always has been the sesame
to love. The Dues closest chum, his COM
panion of the trenches. the Comte de
Saint Leon, came to America just to help
plead for him. The amiable Mrs. Shonts
took in the Comte de Saint Leon also. The
little Duchess could not withstand the both

She agreed to put aside her mourning for
a new wedding gown-IF!
