Riding On Tractor
II. johnson Warren, OF Hazelville,
Was Found BY His Wife

Harry Johnson Warren. 80 years
old. farmer of Hazelville. was found
accidentally shot to death late
Wednesday afternoon when his
wife. Leanora Emily Scuse Warren,
noticed his tractor circling aim
lessly in the field. His body was
on the seat of the farm vehicle.
State troopers. who investigated.
said they found Warren's single
barrel shot gun in the field about
100 yards from the tractor. Death
had been caused by a shot gun
wound of the chest.
Warren. the troopers found, had
been in the habit of carrying the
gun with him to shoot crows and
groundhogs as he drove the trac-

either dropped from the vehicle
and went off or was discharged ac-
as the tractor struck a
rut in the field.

A report pointing up the NaZis

criticism from Gen. Charles De

This supplementary currency, as
the President characterized 1t. Was
issued to meet the pressing needs
Of the invasion forces. and Is to be
used only until France can set up
Its own stable government.
Summarizing the results OF the

that the committee did not ap-

 On August 26. 1920. the women of America looked forward for the first time to voting for a President Of the United States. In that year the women's vote was a small per- eentage of the whole and there were many who suspected that the wives Of the Harding men voted for President Harding, and the wives Of the Cox men voted for James N. Cox. Probably it was true that the vote of the women Of 1920 increased the total number of ballots without in any appTeclable way changing the results of the election.
 On August %. I9ls, twenty-four years later, the women of the United States are launching the biggest campaign in their history as voters to influence the election on every level of government from dog-eatcheT to President. Not only will women cast about 60 per cent of the vote this year. but they will be a potent force in telling the men how to vote.
 Men VIII Ask Women
 In oyer 800 towns and cities in this country the Leaglie of Women Voters will publish 'v0ters' Inf0r- nation" To the women their inen- folk will turn for the qualifications Of candidates, for the voting rec- ords Of congressmen and members Of state legislatures. And in the newspapers, ln handh0oas and on Ayers will be printed, on public platforms will be given, the replies of candidates to the searching questions League members ask,
 For many years the interest Of w0nlen in the issues Of government has been increasing, The war has given tremendous impetus to this trend, for women are tlie h0me- makers, When food is rati0ned and clothes are hard t0 blly, when prices rise and stores are sh0rt- handed, when their men go to war and casualty telegranls invade their homes, women know that what government does affects every one Of them in a very real and personal way,
 This year women are interested In the peace 10 come, They want DO auibblIng to keep the United States from joining n union of na- tons to prevent wars. They want the nations Of the world 10 settle by conferences theiY economic dif. henltIes thelr aviation and ship ping and trade problems, their food, 0ll, lin and rubber shortages, their debts, monetary and bounGv aFy disputes, War doesD't settle those problems,
 No Eaitb Co slogans
 The women Of America today FemembeT that refusing lo take our share Of responsibility after the last waV ja0pagdlEed the peace, This time iliey have no faith ID slogans such As Make the World Safe toT Democracy, They are des ieFmlned that our government shall build towards peace by solve ing ln conference the problems Hhleh have in the past led i0 wars,
 But peace must mean more than fFed9m from War lt must mean t9hs goV workers, prices which are not continually rising, factories tuTDlng out goods f0F home cons sumption instead 0f military HeHas, and exchange 0f our goods tor those 0f the rest Of the world, Thls gaaT our women know that just any eaneTessman won't doi hA has Co understand the issues of our llges and Ret for the welfare of the whole country,
