Suffrage Right Guaranteed By
Constitution, Judge Sluder
Decides.
“Any man in the service of the
United States and not discharged
prior to Feb. 1, is relieved of the
requisite of having a certificate
to enable him to vote and any
others discharged hereafter may
vote in subsequent elections with-
out such certificate,'’ ruled Judge
James T, Sluder in the Seventy-
third District Court in a test suit
instituted by Charles M. Dickson,
a former captain in the army.
Judge Sluder's decision was
based on the provisions of the
State Constitution that absence
on business for the State or the
United States does not deprive a
man from the right of suffrage, or
the right ot election or appoint-
ment to office. He expressed the
opinion that any statute which
sought to take away that right
would be unconstitutional.

Everyone will have a chance
to get a German helmet for a
keepsake of the great war.
Watch for the coupon bearing
an order for a helmet. These
coupons will be dropped from
airplanes which will fly over
towns in the' Eleventh Federal
Reserve District during the Vic-
tory Liberty Loan campaign. If
you see a scrap of paper flutter-
ing in the treetops shinney up
the tree after it. It may be an
order for a helmet. It’s your
Chance in a lifetime to. get one.
These bright, shiney new
helmets were never worn. They
were a reserve supply to be
worn by the boche when they
marched into Paris. The boche
didn’t get there, but the hel-
mets did—by freight. They
wefe shipped in by the victor-:
ious allied troops after they?
marched into Germany. f

Passing a grocery, she decided to buy
pome bananas. Mother, not having
worn h*r "flu'' protector, sent Marie in.
to make the purchase. Mother saw the
grocer pulling off tons of bananas. It

nothing left but the stalks, Marie hand-
ed the grocer her little poekethook con-
taining one solitary dime. “How many
bananas did your little girl want?",

Cecil Rhodes’ Dream Realized.
The early completion of a tunnel un-
der the Straits of Gihrnltar, which, In
connection wlth^the tunnel from Dover
to Calais, will practically complete an
nll-rall connection between Cape Town,
and London, will more than realize the
dream of Cecil Rhodes of n Cape-to-
Calro railroad. The necessary links
along the Barbary coast will he simple
matters when the Intervening wutera
have been spanned. England Is taking
hold of the Gibraltar tunnel tn ft way
that meant the success of that gigan-
tle enterprise.
