WOMEN MAKE THEIR BOW

L OUR women candidates for office will address
the League OF Women Voters at their meet
ing Monday night in the Y. W. C. A. rooms. There
will be an opportunity here for the women Of the
city to personally meet these candidates, one OF
whom is going to represent her county In the state
legislature at Charleston. The League of Women
Voters is endeavorihg to do unbiased, non-par-
tsan educational work along political lines. Its
advice to women is TO Join political party and
shoulder Individual duty in politics. There Is no
attempt whatever to influence women to join any
special party nor to press upon women one side
or the other. only continued effort to arouse
women to sense of their suffrage duty and to
teach them about the issues before the public and
instruct them regarding. proposed legislation.
The four women, who are running for office in
this county are to be impartiaIly presented Mon
day night with freedom to talk about the things
that they hope to accomplish, or the things that
are nearest their hearts along their lines OF duty,
II elected, These women have come before the
voters of the county in no idle mood. They are
educated, Intelligent, splendid women hoping to
accomplish definite things They do not see things
alike from a party standpoint, but each hopes sin
cerey to dutfully fill her office as her con-
science dictates.
Every woman in Fairmont of voting age should
he out for this meeting Monday night. The Repub-
lIcan women owe it TO their women candidates 10
be present with their moral support and encour-
agement, the Democratic women owe no less
courtesy to their party candidates. The meeting
should be a real rally.

FARMERS TO WORK IN
MINES DURING WINTER

BLOOMSBURY. Pa. Oct, 21.-
Farmers In this vicinity are to be.
come coal miners for the coming
winter.
Officials OF a coal company oper.
ating near hero announced recently
that about fifty farmers in Beaver
and Main townships are to be Civ.
en- employment in the company's
mines during the winter. The
farmers now are rushing their fail
work so that by November the
other members OF their families
can look after the farms and they
can aid in increasing. production
in the mines and at the same time
earn extra money during the coal
season.
Farmers Of this section declare
they were hard hit by the drought
this summer and that many sui.
fered heavy losses. Work In thu
mines, they expect, will help them
to partially reecup and at the same
time will assure them OF an ade.
quate coal supply throughout the
winter.

We Travelled twenty-five miles
today. starting at 6 a. nj. and
camping at p. m. Five miles
brought us to the low ford Of the
South Platte which Is 100 miles
from Fort Carney and 460 from
Independence. We drove down
and crossed near the junction oil
the north and south branches Of
the Platte where the river is
about three-fourths of a mile In
width.
The ford runs north until hall
way across when It changes east
and comes out about 200 yards
below where We started In on the
opposite bank. In the deepest
part Of the ford the river did not
exceed twelve inches and in a
great many places the ground was
perfectly bare. The wagons Jolt
ed about q good deal which was
caused by the quick sand work
Ing away when the weight Of any
thing presses upon It. We kept
our oxen moving as all other do
while crossing us there is some
danger Of mlring IS one steps In

We dreaded the crossing of this
river very much as we had heard
some hard yarns about 1t and
have no doubt that in high stages

trouble in crossing It but in low
stages they should have none.
