TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF
SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN NOTED
In SPEECH OF MISS M. MARTIN

years ago present a new challen
pc to women voters. If they
are to maintain and widen their
twenty year record of coOpera-
ton and coordination in the ma
TONS affairs they must meet
the challenge of current emer-
gencies.
They must meet the test of
unselfishness, vision, integrity
and hardwork which their sister
pioneers of other generations
demonstrated so fearessly in the
battle for cnfranchisement. A
merican women must be ready
to battle for the recovery of
their nation, the security and
safety of their homes and the
safeguarding Of their political
and economic freedom.
Women-somc thirty million
of them-can find no better way
to celebrate this twentieth ami
versary of political emancipa-
ton than by marching to the
polls and helping make America
safe for the American way of
living.
The victory for enfranchise-
ment in 1920 and it's subsequent
gains are Of little value unless
American women unite their
faith, Loyalty and courage anC
translate those forces into votes
to uphold American democracy

stranger in a city gets himself

therefrom gets his initial i'm

seldom changes later no matter
how long he remains there.
A live city has invariably a
live and interesting paper, and
it boosts its town and tells the
world what fine place it is and
through it's advertisement of
local business establishments

living in. Advertisements cost
money for they occupy space,

product of newspaper. No
dollar spent for advertising in
a newspaper is ever wasted and
no dollar saved by not advertis-
is really saved. The bigger a
company or enterprise the more
it spends for advertising its
product or service.
With big mail order houses
pouring catalOgs and other sales
literature into Mcdowell by the
car load and eager to spend
more money for advertising one
need not be wise to gather that
it pays dividends, for these
catalogs cost tens of thousands
of dollars for Mcdowell county

thinks that advertising is al
