| The average man believes in the [church. Then let him be consistent and go to church. Every sermon is an attempt to inspire men to higher thoughts. You should attend church and receive this inspiration. The best cure for the social evils in a community is well filled churches. Are you doing your part by helping te fill the churches? Why not make it a point to attend the Sunday evening services at the Presbyterian church? It is. a union service and will be very helpful.

AS SHEER RIGHT And Common Justice Should Women be Given Vote. SAYS THE COUNCIL Os Defense—Special Committee on Equal Suf* frage. Indianapolis, Jan. 12—The Indiana State Council of Defense does not urge upon congress and the council of national defense the adoption of an amendment to the federal constitution giving women the right to vote, as a war measure, It does favor extending the right to vole, however as “a (palter of sheer right and common jußtice.’ The special committee appointed to consider the resolutions presented by representatives of equal suffrage organizations. several weeks ago, reported the receipt of a telegram from Charles W. Fairbanks, chairman of the committee on public policy, which it indorsed and recommended to the state council. The council unanimously adopted the report. Mr. Fairbanks telegram was in reply to an inquiry as to whether he had a report ready, and follows: [ “I have not been advised until the receipt of your dispatch that any such petition as mentioned by you habeen presented or that any opinion has been desired. I am not in favor of any legislation upon woman suffrage as a war measure, hut I am enthusiastically in favor of it, as I .<!-[ ways have been, as a matter of sheer right and common justice.” A proposed measure authorizing cer-' tain govermental heads to contract for commercial alcohol such as may be] distilled from soft corn in Indiana, and appropriating $20,090,000 for the pu • pose, was read by Nat E. Squibb and his suggestion referred to a committee' consisting of Dr. Storms, J. L. Keach i G. I. Christie. Evans Woolen and Frank Wampler. If the committee recommends the council will ask Con-! gressman Lincoln Dixon, of Indian. . I to present the measure in the house of representatives. Herbert Hoover,’ federal food administrator is said to have agreed to support it as a means of conserving the millions of bushel' of corn that otherwise, would be lost after the killing frost. The council of resolution pledged its assistance jn getting recruits for all the nations associated with the United States in the prosecution of the war against Germany. The resolutions declared "the prosecution of this war brings about a condition which demands the active cooperation of all] citizens and organizations of labor and business.” A committee including Will Irwin,] W. J. Freeman and Isaac Straus was appointed to work out a plan with th • j staff of Governor James P. Goodrich for caring for Indiana war veterans who are disabled. They will under-] take the raising by popular subscription of $109,000 for the purpose. A report agaiust encouraging “the adoption of individual soldiers by godmothers and the promiscuous correspondence resulting therefrom, was adopted by the council, after W J Irwin reported this as the attitude ol the bead of the expeditionary forcein France. The council declined to act on the question of recommending the exemption from military service of essentirl farm labor, pending a further declaration of the policy of the war depart nient and the. council of national defense. G. I. Christie reported difficulties t.t securing seed corn and said the United States Department of Agricultuie has authorized him to buy available old corn up to the expenditure of $199.999 for the 1918 crop. - —o —— ’ The very devil is to pay at Frankfort because the city council has appointed an osteopath as city health officer. Now ccmas the regular docs and enter a protest as long as your arm. but the osteo says he Is going to accept the job and the council threatens to stand by him.- Bluffton Banner. County Superintendent Huyette is already seeing the effects of the food conservation program being put into effect through the schools of the county. At the request of Food Administrator Kunkel. Mr. Huyette addressed a letter to the teachers advising them of meatless and wheatless days, and the teachers have become so enthusiastic that one pedagogue is reported to have gone through the children’s dinner buckets on a certain meatless day ami extracted all the meat, in the pails. The plan is doing [more to get the gospel of saving through the county than anything that i has yet been done. —Bluff ton Banner.
