John Ubalto Was Member of
Famous Brigade immortal

BEAVER. Pa, Jan. Tone of the six

This is the brief but Informative cpl

John Ubalto In the Beaver Cemetery,
marking the last resting place OF one
Of the 1913 survivors of the British
Light Brigade" made famous by Ten

of the noble six hundred" buried in
America.
Sixty-six years ago Oct rs, 1854, Unto
the valley of death, rode the six hun

to wrest from the "Sick Man" Of south
ern Europe, otherwise the Sultan Of Tur-
key, a division Of territory including
Sebastopol in the Crl,nea. England
threw her force into the Crimean war
to aid the "Slck Man" One of the most
memorable battles was at Balaclava. Here
1t was through some mistake that the
memorable charge of the Light Brigade
took place.
History states that GOT Of the British
cavalry participated in the charge. After
an orgy Of bloodshed and a demonstra-
ton Of bravery such as the world has
seldom seen, the remnant Of the command
emerged battered and torn. Only 19S
survived Ubalto was one of them.
UBALTO WAS

After the war had ended the scared

conducted a small store in Third street,
near Insurance street, Beaver, for sew

NEW YORK, Jan. T.--If you fave

That was the advice todsy OF Miss
Ch RI Ormond williams OF Memphis,
Tenn, president Of the National Educa-
ton Association.
Miss Williams says woman suffrage has
increa sed-if possible-the chiValry Of
the Southern man.
Because of this traditional ehivalry OF
Southern man, women IN the South have
a better chance OF holding high public
offices than in any other section Of the
country" she said.
The Southern mans reverence for
womanhood makes him feel that II a
fine woman wants a political office, It Is
only courtesy on the part OF the men to
give It TO her"
Miss williams, who was chairman Of
the committee representing the combined
forces which put over" suffrage ratif-
cation in Tennessee, refused to predict
the day was coming when women would
hold most Of the political Jobs in the
South because the chivalrous Southern
man could not bring himself to run
against a lady.
She did predict a renaissance In the
South as the result OF the woman vote.
Il think the Southern women will
show more political Independence than
even the new woman voter in other sec
lions OF the country" said Miss VIII
liamS Tho Southern woman. in spite
OF the fact that she is pictured as a
dollhouse flower who cannot live without
the protection OF man, feels freer than
women IN other parts Of the country.
This IS because she is not afraid Of her
men. She has never had reason to be.
She still has the privilege Of the CHI
Various that has made the South SO
wonderful, and, at the same time, She
is absolutely on an equal footing with
the men"
