Having found cancellation OF

Among the rules were included
these:
Draw contracts in conformity

MANY A SMILING

1t was at one of the local clubs.
A nice looking lad with a brown
sweater entered the squared circle
first. He took his seat, smiled at
few acquaintance and rubbed his
feet in the resin.
A moment later his opponent en-
tered. He was a towheaded, blue
eyed, well-battered man of the pro-
fession. He looked as though he
might tip over the other the first
time he slugged him.
1t hardly looked to be a fair n.atct

but added: They're we'll paid, you

YOUNG FOLKS CELE-
BRATE HALLOWEEN

Pedestrians and merchants were
we'll aware of the fact that the young
folks were observing Halloween with
all its fantastic costumes and wierd
rites. All kinds of goblins and
ghosts were afoot, and all kinds of
outlandish masquerades were seen.
Outside of some time required to re-
place boxes and fence rails in the
respective places no serious damage
was observed. Boys will be boys"

WHEN AN AMERICAN-BORN WO-
MAN CAN'T VOTE

WHEN AN AMERICAN-BORN WO-
MAN CAN'T VOTE
When is an American-born woman
legal voter and when is she no ii
not legal voter?
This is question that was a curio-
sity of the last elections and which
caused many a bitter argument at
the registration and voting places.
A woman born in the United States
who has married non-citizen-
Canadian, ScOtchman, German or
what not-often found herself de-
MED the ballot while. following her
into the polls and accepted as voter.
might have been foreign woman
who had lived in this country only a
year or wo and who could hardly
speak a straight English word
1t appears that this is the law,
passed by congress in 1907. "A wo-
man becomes automatically what her
husband is. If he is an American
after she lands in this country, she
citizen and he marries her the day
instantly becomes an Ameican citi-
zen and can go from the altar to the
polls. On the other hand, an Ameri-
can woman whose ancestors may
have come over in the Mayflower, and
as a spinster even hay have voted
one or more times, becoms eXpatiat-
ed the instant he marries a recent
arrival in this land. II. for instance
he is a Canadian, she Immediately
becomes Canadian and has no right
to vote in her native country.
No doubt thre are very good argu-
ments for this law, but surely 1t
isn't justice.
What do you think about it?

EDISON ARTISTS AS
TOUND AUDIENCE

One of the most unique and thor
oughly pleasing recitals ever given
in Hayti wa spresented Thursday
evening of last week at the High
School Auditorium by Amy Ellerman
and Vera Barstow, assisted by Cal
win Coke The recital has left a
taste in the mouth of the music lovers
in this vicinity who were fortunate
enough to have heard this recital
and most certainly has demonstr',-
ed beyond a doubt the wonderful
possibilities of the New Edison.
Very favorable mention of the re-
cital has been noted by the various
papers of the county, representatives
of whom were present. and they
speak in very high terms of Miss
Ellerman's wonderful comparisons Of
her Re-Creations.
No finer violinist has been heard
in this vicinity than the work OF
Miss Vera Barstow and the New
Edison, and expressions have been
hoard from various sources compli-
menting Mr.. Letter for having brot
such talent to us.
People of Hayti who are the proud
owners of the New Edison have been
aware of the wonderful attainments
of this machine, but this recital has
certainly demonstrated or brought
home the artists themselves. that we
have only enjoyed in the record. and
all are indebted to Mr. Lefler for the
privilege of enjoying this test. Photos
of these artists who appeared before
us may be procured from Mr.. Letter
by application.

DYE EMBARGO PROPOSAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Despite the
repeated demands of the American dye
industry that it be afforded protection
in the FOrdney tariff bill by the shut
ting out of foreign dyestuffs with a
virtual embargo, it was indicated today
during the hearings before the Senate
Finance Committee that the Senate was
likely to follow the lead Of the House
in rejecting the embargo proposal.

for coal tar products used for dyes.
If the Finance Committee decides to
line up with the House in refusing TO
incorporate the proposed dyestufTs en-
barge in the bill, it is probable that
efforts will be made by extreme pro
tectionists and those interested in the
dye industry TO increase the ad valo
