“Now that the Victory Loan
is a thing of the past, one of
the most pleasant recollections
is the hearty co-operation re-
ceived from the newspapers.
“We wish it were possible to
■show in a tangible way how
much .your help has been ap-
preciated. In fact, Frank M.
Smith, Director of the Elev-
enth Federal District, has kind-
ly arranged for us to remember
you in a small way.
“The enclosed, medal, made
from a captured German can-
non, is sent to you as a little
souvenir of the Victory Loan
and also as a memento of the
great world war.” 1
.Everybody is expected to
help entertain our gufests June

a way that they will want to

THE SEEPAGE TlMEND-
, ' MlfNT.
By W: E. Doyle.
I heartily favor the adoption
of the proposed amendment en-
franchising the-^grand woman-
hood of Texas. The women are
as capable in governmental af-
fairs0 as men When they make
up their minds to-be. I am not
only in favor of that amend-
ment, but I am . in favor of
them exercising and epjoying
all the civil rights accorded to
men. I • am in favor of them
holding office and serving on
juries if they want (20. They
are blessed with a higher de-
gree of discernment than men,
and their mentality acts with
greater celerity, and usually
with more certainty and cor-
rectness. For this reason I
have often thought women
would make good jurors. In
school my female classmates
stood higher than I did and
have kept ahead of me through
life. In the exercise« of civic
affairs, women may feel an em-
barassment for awhile, but
they will soon . overcome that
and exert an intelligence which
will command the respect and
confidence of men. When 'our
legislature gave the women the
right to vote in the primaries,
that gift was an insult to their
intelligence and patriotism, as
i it merely made political foot
mats of them. Give them the
absolute fight to vote in all
final elections without the re-
used for a banquet Friday
night. The captains, ten in
number, and their assistants
were invited to be present. The
large reception room and din-
ing room were thrown into one
which made a very spacious
and attractive banquet hall.
Decorations of many cut flow-
ers were used.
The hostess was assisted in
her duties for the evening by
Mesd. T. H. Neyland, L. T.
Kretsinger and Herbert Ney-
land. The menu consisted of
chicken sandwiches, pickles,
olives, iced tea, banaona salad,
fruit punch and cake; At the
conclusion of the repast, which
was interspersed with many
witticisms and good cheer, Rev.
S. W. Thomas spoke at length
upon the work of the church
and of the duties of this imme-
diate congregation. He thor-
oughly explained each step as
it had been mapped out ahd
assured his hearers of the re-
sult that would crown their ef-
forts if each one did his part.
Those present were Rev. and
Mrs. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. J.

Boosts Your Town

t He puts life into dead towns; Be 'makes good
towns better. . '
Plattenburg’s talks are alive; they carry
Conviction. \ ;
tN -*»
He telk! why people are leaving tjie smaller
communities for the large centers.
He knows how they can be kept at home.
He makes a special analysis of each town
and helps you solve your difficulties.
His criticisms are constructive, yet he
* meets every issue squarely.
Plattenburg is a Humorist
The comic aspects of all questions crop
out at the most unexpected places. His
talks are witty and worth while.
Hear Him at the Chautauqua
poll tax. They deserve it. In
addition to these rights, 1
cheerfully accord them the un-
qualified right to dress as they
please. I would that they wear
short dresses or long dresses,
narrow skirts or wide skirts as
they may wish. It is not the
concern of any man how, or in
what style, a lady^tnay dress.
I assume that • ladies dress to
please, and as they are pretty
and fascinating, they, there-
fore, in' any style, attract the
attention. an^| admiration of
men. Any man who objects to
any style of dress the ladies
may adopt is a cynic bone head
and should be excluded 'from
society.
