PLENTY OF HELP

''We have received the assistance and cooperation in this work of all minis ters, school teachers, presidents and sec retaries of all clubs and in fact. every one we called on said Mrs. Bowron. This wasfa work for the league and the members were anxious to have every woman in the state, who was qualified. 'to register, and with that idea in view everyone joined in to bring the number of qualified feminine voters in the state up to 100000.
 More than 5000 flyers were dis itributed. committees off women visiting every fair in the state distributing their literature. In many counties the women registering outnumber the men voters, we have been told, and especially is this true of Blount and Cherokee
 Alabama women. especially in the northern part of the state are alive to the issues and have thoroughly or gani1ed every county in this section of the state. We expect to organize the southern section of the state very thor oughly within the next few weeks.
 23,O0O WOMEN
 With 23010 women voters in Jeffer- son county, we feel that the women are going to take the lead in things for, the best interest of our city, county and state, to say nothing of the 100000 to par tlcipate in the national elections
 Much praise and many complimentary remarks are bGng heard on the streets regarding the work of this organiza tion In the opinion of many, the num- Der of women qualifying would have been very much smaller had not this organization pushed the matter

PRINT PAPER IS SCARCE.

The print paper situation is assum-
ing alarming proportions. The Sheaf
has experienced considerable difficulty
during the past month in securing the
amount Of paper required Orders
which were placed far in advance have
been cut down and delayed and at
times much anxiety has been felt as to
whether the needed quantity of paper
would be on hand for the next issue.
d The price charged for the paper has
reached staggering proportions. A ton
shipment which arrived this morning,
just in time to enable us to print this
weeks paper, was billed at 9 cents per
pound which is an increase Of nearly
400 per cent over the price paid several
years ago.
Unless conditions change for the bet
ter sooa the Sheaf will be forced to in
crease its subscription rates to meet
the advanced cost of production. A
great many papers in the state have al
ready laised their subscription rates to
$500 per year.

M Z. Warner returned Saturday
morning from st. Paul, where he at
tended meetings of the Farm Bureau
associations of the state and the Min
nesota Cooperative Live Stock Ship
ping association. Mr.. Warner reports,
that the first day Of the convention of
the live stock shippers was devoted to
a short course for managers and proved
highly interesting and instructive. The
program included an exhibit of various
cattle sold on the market, with explain
ations by Exchange statesmen and pack
er buyers. Later the carcasses Of sim
liar animals were shown in the, pack
ing house coolers Of Swift & Company
and managers were given an opportun-
ity to see why one animal brings more
on the market than another. The sec
ond day was devoted to talks and dis
cussions of problems in which live stock
shippers are vitality interested. The
car shortage and the future Of the rail-
roads were two Of the most important
problems discussed. The association
went on record as favoring a. speedy
return Of the rail lines to private own
ership, provided the interests Of the
public was safeguarded.

Farm Home is
Destroyed by Fire

The Ole Nelson farm home in town
of Lincoln was totally destroyed by fire
Wednesday Of last week. The cause
was chimney fire which had started
while Mr. and Mrs Nelson were over
to q near neighbor for a short visit.
The four children were left at home.
The Oldest, a girl Of 10, showed great
courage and presence Of mind When
the three eldest children were all out
safely and the house was aflame, they
suddenly remembered til baby sleeping
upstairs. The girl rushed into the
house, filed with smoke and heat, made
her way upstairs and managed to bring
the little one down to safety. But for
this heroic deed, the baby would have
been left to the terrible fate Of burning
to death.

Famous CurW00d Story
At The Strand

Back to Gods Country, an .adapta-
ton from "Wapi, the Walrus,'' James
Oliver Curwood's famous magazine
story, will be seen at the Strand
Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday,
February II and -.
The story has its setting in the
Canadian wilderness, from which it
switches to the frozen Arctic north
lands, where some Of the most unusual
scenes ever known to motion pictures
were filmed.
4 Probably no picture production ever
released has more unusual array of
animal talent. Cost Of the animals, al
though great, was minor in comparison
to the cost in time and patience to in
duce them to develop an affection or
hatred toward the various cast mem
bers with whom they were to work. ii

Car Shortage Arouses
Commercial Club

The inability Of the railroads, center
ing here, to furnish cars for shipping
out grain and hay, has caused great
inconvenience and loss to many ship
pers So serious is the condition that
the Commercial Club yesterday sent
telegram to our senator's and Congress
man STEVENSON at Washington urging
that prompt action be taken by the
railroad administration to facilitate the
movement OF cars. A hundred carloads
Of hay is now piled up along the rail-
road track at Viking awaiting ship
ment, while cattle in Montana are
starving for lack Of feed. There are
also large quantities Of grain in the
elevators ready for shipment, with no
cars In which to ship to uskrket. in
case Of z drop In price, somehody Vim
suffer loss. A little more speeding up
In railway transportation Is highly de-
sirable.
