therefore entitled to be candidates,
but peculiar as it may seem the court
does not hold that women can vote
for such delegates.
Bill Lemkes attempt to come out
as supporter of Miss Nelson's will
probably not meet with any more
hearty support from the state Of
ficial than did his mad venture to
kidnap Senator Hiram w. Johnson
and his campaign organization.
Does Townley realize that he is
losing his hold on the people? Is he
going to attempt to comouflage
Townleyism as Progressive Repub-
licanism. Clerk Coghlan Of the
supreme court, one of Townley's
henchmen, has sent letter to all
league office holders ordering them
to dig into there breeches and flop
the gold and silver over to the contri-
button box of the Progressive Re-
publican Party, said money he admits
however, will all be used to bolster
Townleyism. But this letter, like
that of Jim Waters "Our prayers
have been answered., was not in
tended for publication. A. H. Galla-
gher, who was one of Frazier's min
ing superintendentS and a former
organizer of the Worlds War Veteran
Is now out organizing Progressive
Republican clubs, the purpose of
which he declares is to bring Cover
nor Frazier out for governor.

Think 1t Over--

What service do you get when you list
your land with the Ward Farms Company.
You merely state your price and terms and
you get that price without paying one dollars
worth of expense unless there correc-
tions in the title to be made
They spend hundreds of dollars adver-
tising They give free railroad fares to pro-
spective buyers to and see it. They en-
ploy men to help show it. They examine your
abstract Of title. They draw all legal papers
correctly. They often furnish money to f.
nance the sale of it. All of these things and
many others are done for you without any
charge to you.
In addition to this they frequently are
financially responsible for the correct hand
ling of your deal. You are guaranteed
against loss. They have handled many hun
dred deals without complaint or question
from the owner as to their honesty. You
probably can remember few years back
other firms have listed land in your locality
and owners have lost their FARMS You have
known us for thirty years. You can feel safe
in doing business with us.

The following are the arguments
used by the Home Defenders Com
mittee against the four initiated So
called Sunday Blue Laws.
Initiated Measure No. seems to
provide for boxing and sparring
matches, but in fact repeals the anti
prize fight law and opens this state
to prize fights. There is no law
against boxing matches and they may
be conducted at the present time in
North Dakota, and the law is unnec-
cessary.
Initiated Measure No. 2 ostensibly
protects minors from getting cigar
cites, but as a matter of fact, the
measure itself does not prohibit the
use of cigarettes by minors. II this
law passes minors may secure all the
cigarettes they desire-it is doubt
less the beginning of the license sys-
tenn for cigarettes much the same
nature as the license system for sa-
ICONS.
Initiated Measure No. 3 provides
for Sunday baseball. There is no
law now forbidding the playing Of
baseball on Sunday. 1t is only COM
mercialized baseball-where admis-
sion is charged-that Sunday base
ball is prohibited.
Initiated Measure No. 4 passes the
simple issue of Sunday theatres. The
movies may not operate on Sunday
now and this measure allows them
to operate all day Sunday.

BLUE DENIM
NOW SCARCE
AND GOING UP

CLEVELAND, April 23.-Those
~ who hope to escape one of the
worst pinches of Hi Cost through
the wearing of denim will find
that overall prices, like all other
prices, are subject to the upward
trend, according to Cleveland
manufacturers and jobbers.
They say there is an acute
shortage of blue denim.
"The demand for blue denim
has been for some time ahead of
the supply" said j. Fl. Levi, Cleve-
land overall manufacturer. 10Th
er colors of a similar cloth are
plentiful. Khaki and striped
stock can be obtained without so
much trouble.
Zone effect of the overall move
ment will be to increase the retail
price of such garments, naturally.
But | do not think that the price
will increase more than a dollar
a suit. The cheapest two-piece
now costs $3.50 at retail.
Undoubtedly, a tailored suit of
overall material could be market
ed for considerably less than So"

the normal figure.
The entire public is cordially in

Birmingham Leader In Movement Appeals To Men

Prices.
N. E. A. Staff Special.

BIRMINGHAM. April 23.-"Men
of Americus: You should wear over
alls! Get in the Overall Club band
wagon! Join up"
That is the appeal of Theodore
Lamar, Birmingham lawyer and for
mer machinist, founder and organiz-
er of the National Overall CLUB, with
national headquarters here.
Men everywhere should join in
this common effort for common
cause-men Of means as well as men
without means. Women, too, should
wear blue denim, gingham or calico
or some other inexpensive material.
"The result will be to bring cloth
ing prices down to fair 6gures-but
not only that! The Overall club will
show that the men and women of
this country are determined to end
the reign of the profiteer and the
cost of food, furniture, building ma
terials-everything that goes to make
up the unreasonable H. G. L. will
likewise come down.

into the hearts of profiteers in all
lines.

demands. We do not want to lower
wages and we do not want to rob
the manufacturers and dealers of
just and fair profits. We are strik-
ing at the profiteers, the men who
have pushed prices of all the neces-
sites of life up to such ridiculously
high levels.
"Since the government has failed
so signally to reduce prices, the time
is ripe for the people of America
to take the fight against H. c. L. into
their own hands.
"The way to do it is by concen-
trated effort. We learned what the
people could do by concerted effort

PAPER SPEEDS ON
PASSENGER Time
Publishers Hard Hit BY
Freight T'ie-Up From
Strike

The Times-Recorder appears again
today in four-page size, because of
the almost completet exhaustion of
its supply of white paper and the in
ability of the railroads to locate the
carload shipment and two or three
one-ton and two-ton lots en- route
some where. This morning four bun
dies, or less than two days supply,
were received from an Atlanta job
Der, the most that could be spared
out of carload, for all or portions
of which it's scores of customers all
over this section were clamoring. 1t
is now believed suspension will be
avoided, but the greatest economy
must be practiced until the delayed
shipments arrive.
Newspapers all over the United
States are suffering acutely from the
print paper shortage. Large and
small papers throughout the South
are particularly hard hit, the switch
mems strike in the north and east
having stopped freight in transit. To
relieve the situation, a special paper
freight train for the south was made
up a few days ago in the east and
rushed in this direction on passenger
schedule. This paper is now being
distributed The following letter
from the secretary of the Southern
Newspaper Publishers Association to
the Times Recorder, followed by a
list of the consignees of the cars on
the paper train, are given for the in
formation of the public as evidence
of the seriousness of the situation
and how general the shortage is:
Paper Train Made Up.
''To the Members of the S. N. P. A.
Gentlemen AS indicated in my
special letter of yesterday a special
newsprint paper train was made up
and forwarded from the Marysville
yards of the Pennsylvania R. R., Har-
risburg, Pa, Saturday evening, April
18th. This train was routed for
Richmond and points south thereof.
Arrangements were made TO have
these cars delivered to southern con-
nections as promptly as possible and
advise individual consignees direct.
At this writing your Secretary has
had no advice that the cars have
passed the Potomac Yards. The Off
cials of the Southern have however,
promised to expedite this movement.
