Voting Strength of Parish In
creased By 39S.

Al the closing of the reglstra-
tion books on Saturday, 1898 was
tho surprising number of women
resistrants shown for the entire
parish. Franklinton alone should
have furnished this number and
It is with regret that we note this
lack Of willingness on the part of
our women to shoulder the re.
sponsibility and accept the duty
Of citizenship, regardless of
whether or not they advocated
woman suffrage.
The duty to vote has been plac.
ed upon every woman of every
state, thru Federal amendment
and should DO accepted and dis.
charged with the same loyalty
with which she has met every
other responsibility of life.
Following is the registration of
The women Of Washington Parish

Larnnino II Ycur S.eeve.

Judging hy the fact that we have
this expression in French German ana
Latin, there must be a lot of surrep-
titious laughter in the world. But a
laughs laugh for all that, and it's
good for the digestion. It's hard to
see how anyone could have laugh in
any of the tight little sleeves that are
de rigueur this season. There's hard
ly room to have an arm in them. But
not so in the "bell" sleeve of last sum
mer, which was a diminutive replica of
the sleeves worn by the ancients who,
not concerned with changing fashions
with the seasons, wore one style long
enough to make it famous. With them,
when anyone seemed To be screening
his face behind the long flowing folds
of his sleeve, there was always the
suspicion that he was laughing in
his sleeve" And to this ayslaughng
behind anyones back, whether II be a
fan or n hat that screens 1t, we call
laughing in your sleeve.

Madame Borgny Hammer. the
great Norwegian actress, who will
present lbsen's "A Dolls House"
with talented company Monday
night at the o. c. w, has had a
very interesting stage career.
She was only seventeen years of
age when she made her first appear
ance on the stage. Although she
was only a girl, at that time she
played the leading part in famous
old Norwegian play, The House of
Svend Dyring, by Henrik Hertz. She
met with immediate recognition of
her talent
The following year she was engag-
ed to play at the Fahlstrom theater,
where she appeared in leading parts
throughout the season. Her next
engagement was with the Central
.theater, where she appeared in plays
by Shakespeare, Sardou, Strindberg,
Drdcnlnan,, lufsenleV, IolSIol anu
others of the great dramatists of the
world.
Then came her extended engage
ment with the National theater,
where she not only made a reputa-
tion for excellent acting, but where
she received training such as few
actresses ever get. Here she played
roles in plays by her favorite play
Ibsen. As a guest of the National
theater, she toured Norway, playing
Agnes in Ibsen's Brand, and was
greeted with tremendous ovations
everywhere.

COW ADOPTS FAwN

BY United Press.
Portland, Ore, March 27.-Anyone
who thinks COW hasn't strong
mental instinct should take a trip
to Multnomah Station, Portland
suburb.
For there may be seen yearling
fawn which has been adopted by a
COW of A. H. Fordyce, rancher.
Fordyce has no idea how the deer
came to his place, but does know
it journeys to and from the pasture
with its mother" morning and even
ing.
1t is believed the fawns family was
chased out of the woods or killed by
hunters and that the fawn came city
ward, and, finding a new mother,
decided to stay in town.

CANDIDATES FOR
BASEBALL TEAM

Thirty candidates for positions on
the Chickasha high school base ball
team are reporting daily for practice
under the supervision of Coach Ford,
The pill-tossers work out on the
Eighth street diamond, although Uni
versity Park may be used when
matched games are being played
Prospects Are Bright.
Never before in the history of the
school have prospects for a winning
purple and gold nine been brighter.
Competition for berths on the team
grows keener daily
The complex problem that must
be solved by Mentor Ford is the
building of a competent pitching
staff Although other box candidates
have displayed some form, Stein
berger, veterans of 1919, will be the
nucleus around which the pitching
staff will be formed.
Washburn mad DeWese are likely
material for the job Of assistant to
Steinberger Leland Adams, basket
ball captain and captain-elect of the
1920 football machine, can be used
on the mound in case of emergency.
lnfieId Material Plentiful
Material for both the infield and
the garden jobs is plentiful
Smith, Penny, and Ritchey are
working for the receivers job. Green,
basketball star, is the most likely
material for first baseman, and
Adams will probably hold down the
position at short. Washburn, Walters,
Adams and Fields are included in the
list of candidates working for infield
positions.
Gam, Bryant, Duncan and Doug
las are listed among the candidates
for garden berths.
The 1920 season will be opened
Friday April 2, when the local high
schoolers meet an opponent on the

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
:: Ahead-How to Make Good
by JESSIE ROBERTS
THE JOB ABOVE YOU

TT is perfectly legitimate for you to
L be keeping an eye with a view to
future possession on the job above
you. Some of us have perhaps reached
the pinnacle of our ambition, but that
number is small. There is something
ahead that is better and it is right to
try for it, to plan for it, to get it, But
don't make the mistake of slurring
your present job because you think
you are fit for better one. The best
way in the world to get that rise is
to fill your present position as well as
it can be filled. There is very little
really thorough weFk being done. The
girl who is thorough in what she does,
who can be definitely depended upon,
will attract notice. Doing your work
we'll is more important than many
women think.
One woman whom l know was sup
posed to make clippings for her en-
ployer in regard to the business of
the firm, clippings from large num-
Der of papers. and to leave these on
his desk. 1t occurred to her that he
lost a good deal of time in running
over these slips. She began arrang-
ing them according to topics, and she
fastened to each bunch of clippings a
resume of their contents carefully
made 1t wasn't much perhaps. but
1t looked good to that employer. He
kept his eye on that young woman
She had aroused his interest
Presently she suggested the FEAST
bility of issuing small pamphlet
made up Of items from these clip
pings, a monthly record of what ap-
peared in the public prints that was
most to the point. The idea was
adopted and worked we'll.
A girl like that does not stay down.
She is now private secretary and ad-
vertising manager to that employer,
at an excellent salary. And she will
go farther.
You don't need to be grind and
lrudge to do your work so well that
YOU will be taking the job above you
IS soon as it is vacant-or can be
created. You do need to be interested
in what you are doing now, to be
ready to develop its possibilities, to
see the relationship between what
YOU are doing and the work of the Or
ganizatiOn as a whole. It is work
done without interest and hope that
is hard. 1t leads nowhere, and it is
boring. Keep alive in the job you are
in.

Last Night Streams
What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM ABOUT DRINK
ING?

NOW that booze has "gone glim-
~ mering through the dream of
things that were" it is interesting to
investigate -the alcoholic conditions in
Dreamland, "Where there amt no Ten
Commandments and man can raise
thirst"
1t is not too much to say that the
situation there is positively shocking,
ana the drys ought to get busy at once
IN the realm of shadows. Old booze
nghters, now reduced to taking their
tipple and consorting with their inebri-
ated associates In Dreamland only
may gather what sOlace they can from
the ract that oracles and soothsayers
regard as Of generally favorably omen
dreams In which the late John Barley
corn conspicuously figures. And it
may be laid down as a rule that if you
take your flicker" In dreams alone 1t
won't hurt you. In fact, 1t will have
just the contrary effect to taking it
over real bar. To go into a Dream
lano barroom-the only one now open
and there, seeing old acquaintance,
say whats yours, boys?" indicates,
II everything is pleasant and convivial,
tnat you will soon embark in some new
speculation or business which will be
highly profitable. Should one of these
dream-friends refuse to Join you, de-
claring that he is on "the water
wagon" you will soon meet an old
friend and have long and pleasant
chat with him.

are to come to you; probably through
making the acquaintance of man
now unknown to you who will put you
IN the way of making your fortune. To
the unmarried man it signifies that
ne is beloved by woman of whom he
has, as yet, scarcely thought and that
She will make an excellent wife. But
TO dream that you have tasted no Ii
quor and yet are drunk is accounted
bad sign. You will soon commit
some foolish action.
Ii you dream that you got drunk on
water you are going to boast of your
rich relations and of wealth which
you do not possess. Also, to- see an
other man drunk means that you will
do something foolish.
1t is but fair to the oracle and sooth-
sayers to state that these dream in
terpretauOns were eXpounded years
and years before the dry amendment
to the Constitution was thought of.

oraby reported, with one exception.

Five minute talk-Care and manage
ment of the dairy COW for the winter
production of milk by Frank Quimby.
Mr.. Quimby spoke in an instructive
manner regarding his herd of Holsteins
and Ayrshires, and his method of feed
ing. He has followed the method advo-
Gated by the extension college, for the
past year, and has proven that the re-
suits are more satisfactory by far than
those obtained by his former manner of
feeding. Several of the members asked
the privilege of questioning Mr.. Quimby
and the inquiries were courteously ans
wered. Pleasing selections were read by
Albert Lowe, Maude Mudgett and Jennie
Webb, after which the following ques-
ton was read: Resolved, That the farmer
has a more difficult problem to solve in
marketing his products than in purchase
ing his supplies. The discussion was
Complementary opened by O. B. Dow
and Sidney Tibbetts and was continued
by o. W. Lane; j. H. Mckinley; G. H.
York; F. P. Webb; D. M. KimbaIl and
Albert Lowe. Many points of interest,"
were brought out in the remarks of the
several members and the affirmative Of
the question received the greater support.
New business was resumed at this
point and w. M. Webb re-appointed the
program committee of last year, namely:
Clara n. York; Velzora Nickerson; Mary
J. Curtis; Alberta Nickerson and Maude
Mudgett.
Pomona expressed its appreciation of
the hospitality of Harvest Home grange
and the meeting was closed with the
usual ceremonies.
Many regrets were expressed that
State Master Thompson was unable to be
present, but all agreed that a profitable
day had been spent.
The next meeting will be with Comet
grange, in Swanville. Jan. IL. 1921.
Address of welcome by Doris Thayer.
Response by W. F. Evans. Election and
installation of officers. A program will
be presented if time permits. D.
