DEL|NQUENTS ARE
INVESTIGATED BY
MASON GRAND JURY
Dog Owners who Have Not Taken Out
License and Business Men Who
Have Failed May Be Indicted
BY the Present Jury.

The Mason county grand Jury
which met Thursday morning after
several days vacation, has been very
busy all day Thursday and it has be-
come known that the jury has been
giving particular attention to those
who have failed to take out licenses as
required by the state law.
A committee of sheep raisers an
peared before the jury and complained
about the failure of dog owners to
take out the required licenses and pay
the required fee into the treasury. For
several years, the license tax has notn-
ing like paid for the sheep claims filed
by owners whose sheep have been
killed by dogs.
1t was also learned Thursday that
there are many business men in the
city and county who have failed to
take out various kinds of trade IL
censes and that the grand jury was
looking into this matter very care
fully. Many indictments are expected
to be returned for those who are de-
linquent in complying with the law.

WOMEN MINISTERS
TO DISCUSS STATUS
IN DENOMINATIONS
CBy Associated PROSE-,

WINFIELD, Kans., Aug. 5.-The at
utude women preachers should take
on the problems of the day and the
status of women in the various relig-
ious demonstrations will be among the
questions discussed at the annual as
sembly Of the International Associa-
ton of Women Preachers at Winona
Lake, Ind, Aug. 1917, it was announc-
ed today by the Rev. NJ Madeline
Southland. president
Rev. Southland will address the con-
ention on "A Sphere or a Hemis-
pierre" and other speakers will in
elude DR.. Lee Ann Starr, DR.. Sara B.
Wise, the Rev. Ida Herrick and Rev.
Carolyn Hosford.
THE assembly will discuss the
status of women in all the denomina-
tons, her place in preaching, in coun-
sci, in administration and methods of
opening desirable positions in other
work to young women so they will
not of necessity be drawn off into
other fields" Rev Southland said.
Open to All
The sessions will be open to laymen
and clergy alike. it was stated
Credit was given to the Society of
Friends (Quakers) for what was term
ed its advanced position on sex equal
ity, by Rev. Southland in discussing the
progress of women in the various re-
ligious denominations.
"The Society of Friends, which
arose in England almost 300 years
ago took the amazing stand that there
should be sex equality" she said
No church has had so large a proper
ton of preaching women Women
were the first Friends preachers in
| London, Oxford, Cambridge and in
America. They were among the early
martyrs of the church. Perhaps we
owe women suffrage indirectly to the
Friends. Susan B. Anthony was
reared in the tenets of that church and
accustomed to freedom of women.
When found that in educational and
even temperance meetings women
were supposed to keep silence her
wrath was aroused-and the end was
the Susan B. Anthony amendment.

the bass is really the foundation of
