main features of the new law,
Mrs. Y/ard went to Austin in the in-
terest of its passage'and is thoroughly
farmiliar with its text. Her experience
as an attorney and as champion of the
bill qualify her to explain it. She says:
“The primary suffrage law passed
at the recent special session of the
legislature grants the privilege of vot-
ing in all primary elections to women
of Texas who are 21 years of age and
over and who possess the other quali-
fications required of male voters.
There is no poll tax, fee or charge of
any kind required of women voters
for the year 1918. They must, how-
ever, register in order to vote.
“The primary suffrage Act becomes
a law June 26, 1918, and one of the pro-
visions thereof is that all women who
offer to vote in the primaries must
register 15 days before the date of the
primary. All women must register
between the dates of June 26 and July
12 in order to qualify for voting. Reg-
istration qiust be at the office of the
county tax collector in records pro-
vided by the commissioners’ court ac-
cording to the provisions of the Act,
Tells Just How Voting is Done
“After registering the registrant re-
ceives from the tax collector the cer-’
tiflcate of registration, the duplicate
thereof remaining in the office of the
tax collector, from which he prepares
lists of qualified voters for the elec-
tion judges. _
“The woman voter presents this cer-
tificate of registration to the election
judge when she offers to vote. In the
event that it should be lost she makes
out affidavit of its loss at the polling
place in the same manner as a man
who has lost his poll tax receipt or
exemption certificate.
“Women vote at the same place, in
the precinct, in fhe same booths and
.place their ballots in the same ballot
Boxes as provided for men. - * ,

in the State and county the required

remedy the matter so far as was in

Pvt. Geo. E. Sisco, who is a soldier
of Battery B, 343rd F. A. Camp Travis,
Texas, went home Sunday. Everyone
at the Battery is wondering why
George goes home so often. Ask him.
His home is at Sinton, Texas.
Corporal Ulson D. Ritchea is spend-
ing this week at Leon Springs (Camp
Bullis), wjth the 360th Infantry
Scouts. The Scouts are receiving
special instruction in sniping, sharp
shooting, the construction of listening
posts and sniping post instruction be-
ing given byv an English officer.
Mechanics Brown Brothers have
done some real fancy construction
work in the Company flower beds this
week.
Sgt. Clint O. Haynie of Sinton vis-
ited Kenedy and Beevjlle Saturday
and Sunday. Corporal George Craven
also deserted Sinton for Beeville Sun-
day. What’s the matter with the Sin-
ton girls letting all these brave sol-
diers go back on Sinton?
Corporal Harvey L. Hogan of Aran-
sas Pass is having a great time with
his new Buick. He gets lost in San
Antonio most every night and it takes
him till after midnight to find his way
back to camp.
Corporal Edward E. Hoskinson be-
longs to the 360th Infantry Scouts, and
is spending a week at Camp Bullis,
receiving special scout training.
Sentiment is supposed to be a stran-
ger in the armed camp. But the sup-
position is not borne out by the fol-
lowing communication, published
through Camp Travis twa days before
Mothers’ Day:
“General Pershing has issued the
following order to all units of the
American Expeditionary FoYces in
France: ‘May 8.—To All Command-
ing Officers: I wish every officer and
soldier in the 'American Expeditionary
Forces would write a letter -home on
Mothers’ Day. This is a little thing
for each one to do but those letters
will carry back our courage and bur
affection to the patriotic women whose
love and prayers inspire us and cheer
us on to victory. Pershing.’ The Sec-
retary of War heartily approves the
foregoing and desires to urge upon ev-
ery officer and soldier in the army
that he emulate the example of the
soldiers in France by writing a letter
home on Mothers’ Day, May 12th.”
_ Indications are that the appeal
found a ready response in the hearts
of the Camp Travis men. most of
whom are comparative recent arrivals
from civilian life, and a number of
whom have just come into the Nation-
al Army. The Y. M. C. A. buildings
furnishes stationery, pen, ink and a
place to write the letter in quiet,

and the Utilities branch is to con-
struct them. With as many as two
hundred baseball, games going on at
one time—as is not uncommonly the
case on holiday afternoons—window
lights may be expected to suffer, and
the Utilities people used to come out
and replace the panes, but one month
there was no less than one thousand
panes of glass to be put in, and it
looked so like monopolizing the force
for this one service that the office
now merely issues the glass and the
soldiers put theta in themselves.

forcement to carefully consider the
situation, register and vote. It is a
duty she can not shirk, a duty no one
can perform for her. Especially should
body has to repair the tprvated roads
whetr the traffic gets the better of
them in spots. Somebody has ,to patch
up the plumbing, that the winter cold
snaps pop open, and enamel the stoves
and stovepipes to keep them from rust-
ing through the summer. Somebody
has to paint'the signs that indicate
the various offices, streets, traffic rules
and the. like* These are only a few
of the odd jobs that are every day
matters, practically, for the Division
L'tilities Office. It has shops for sign
painting, stove and boiler repair,
blacksmithing, carpentery, plumbing
and electrical fittings and repairs.
Just now the carpenter shop is com-
pleting twenty-five ice boxes to be
% '
used at Gamp Bullis, the target range
camp about twenty-three miles from
San Antonio. Over at the Veterinary
Hospital a concrete soaking vat ten
by twelve feet and one.foot deep was
constructed for the treatment of the
hoofs of draft and saddle animals.

He came to my sweetheart’s house
with his leggings, gilt ca,p cord, spurs,
and everything and took charge as
usual. They talked and I listened and
I was nervous. At the first opening
I blurted out, “Beautiful moon to-
night.” Then they looked at m&>aur-
prised that I said anytliing, and bored
at what I said.
This was enough and I said “Good-
bye” and they said “Good-bye” with-
out looking up. War hath no fury
like a civilian ignored for a lot of
soldiers, and I swore I'd never speak !
to her again.
I got a block away and then my
mjnd changed. So I came back and
looked through the shutters and there
I saw her teaching that lieutenant how
to daned. I watched him move around
as graeefully as an ox. I thought to
myself that his first lesson was with
a grizzly bear. He fell over a chair j
and leaned against the gold fish
aquarium. This did noL bother him.
He swung around again and hung his
spurs in the ;wall. It took the colored
maid an hour to pry him loose with a
crowbar and in spite of all that, she
thinks he.is the “lovlicst character.”
This disgusted me and I left again.
I met Rockey coming up the street
and he told me that the only antidote
for “Umformits” or “Soldierphobia”
was a car. So I went to the garage
and traded fof a little fliver that had
hay Tever and did nothing but sneeze.
I named it “Knicker-bocker,” because
it shook the daylights out of me. Then i
I borrowed two bits from Rockey and |
got a gallon of-gak, jumped in the car, i
kicked the self-commcncer, and it
reared up and coughed, jumped
straight up and came down on a man’s
foot. Then I had to pay him for
ruining his shine. / ;
Now I was ready to try my antidote
and win back my best girl, but my car
began to side-shuffle, and do the ori-
ental dance. I pushed something and
it went straight down Main street.
My eye caught sight of a pretty- girl
and I wanted to make a “hit” and
make my girl jealous. So I whizzed
around and the old flivver back-fired
right in the young lady’s face. I
