VOTERS' LEAGUE DUES DUTIES Officers of Women's Organization Each Has District Under Her Supervision.

SLACKERS By Unitr/i Xeics ■WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.—Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of tha National Leag-ue of Women Voters, says: "Tha man or woman who falls to vote this autumn ought to have a white feather pinned on. Such a man, such a woman, is a slacker. Men and women who will not vote are doing all they can to destroy democracy, for no country In which elections are decided by the votes of the minority, no country with a great body of voters too lazy of mind to take part In elections, Is anything but a despotism, the rule of the Indifferent many by the selfish few."

By MRS. MAUD WOOD PARK. President of the National League of Women Voters. (Copyright, 1622, by United News) WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—The general officers of the National League of Women Voters have work to do which In certain respects resembles that of a presiding elder. Each of them has a district —the country Is divided into five such districts—and Is expected to visit local leagues In order to keep one unit Informed of what other units are doing and to resolve, now and then, minor difficulties which are less accurately seen In perspective than close at hand. Vlslt3 this autumn to leagues In fifteen States will give me a wider understanding of how the women of the country ere handling the problems of their new citizenship, what is needed to make their work more effective, and in Just what ways the experience of one league can be made helpful to another. I feel very strongly that local problems must not be neglected for questions of national significance, but I feel also that the league cannot successfully continue Us work of education unless there can be the standardization of method which the consideration of national questions alone affords. We are new to the work of politics, but already certain of our methods are standardized. Almost every candidate In the elections of the year has received or will receive ' a questionnaire and his replies will be i published "without comment. When it was first used, this method of finding out what every candidate stands for was criticized In many places. Certain persons held it to be Impertinent and threatening, but as Its real reason for being has become generally understood, criticism has ceased. Indeed, many men have shown themselves delighted at the opportunity the questionnaire gives to bring their views before the public in a non-par-tisan setting. Many men are only too glad to have their records made accessible to voters and more than one man has had Justice done him for the first time through the league’s unbiased presentation of his work

"Mercy, land sakes!" Freddie Fox's mamma said. "Whatever have you been doing, Freddie Fox?" Willie Wenzel's mamma then said to Willie Weazle, "Mercy, land sakes! Whatever have you been doing, Willie Weazle?” Fredd.e Fox and Willie Weazle hung their heads and wiggled their big Mmm jf ’ m •I -e) Cn, l *, .Qr- 1 J * toes in the sand auid wouldn’t look at their mammas.

Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle did not like this and both began crying, ’cause they knew just how hot the pancake paddles seemed when their mammas paddy whacked them. So when Mrs. Freddie Fox and Mrs. Wilbur Weazle came out of the front door with their pancake paddle Freddie Fox and Wilbur Weazle could almost feel * the paddywhacklng before they received it, and they both ran through the woods, and away from home. Just as fast as they could run. “You naughty boys!" cried Mrs. Freddie Fox and Mrs. Wilbur Weazle. “Just you wait until your daddy comes home this evening." Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle knew that by waiting until their daddies came home, the paddywhacking

"Now, we will both get a paddywhacking this evening." * "My daddy always says It hurts him more than It does me!” said Freddie Fox. j "That’s what my daddy says too,” agreed Willie Weazle, "and because it is all Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy’s fault, we should catch them |and take them home with us, so that I our daddies can know the Raggedy’s ought to get th epaddywhacking Instead of us.” "That is a very good idea, Willie Weazle," said Freddie Fox. "let's start and hunt them now." So Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle hunted with their keen little noses until they followed Raggedy Ann and j Raggedy Andy to where they were sitting by the laughing brook watching the little fish jumping into the air. "Ha, ha!” cried Freddie Fox as he caught Raggedy Ann. "Ha. ha!” cried Willie Weazle as he caught Raggedy Andy. Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy wiggled and twisted, but Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle ran with them unti they came to the house of the two funny old women. “Ha!" cried Freddie Fox, "let’s take them In and give them to the two funny little old wom--1 on. then when the little old women | give us the piece of mince pie for bringing the Kaggedy’s, we will take the Raggedy’s away again and carry them home." So Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle,without even knocking, carried Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy right into the two funny little old women's house. The two funny little old women locked the door, “click, click!" and then hugged Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. "Thank you for giving us the nice garden of lolly-pops,” they said. Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle did not know what to do when they saw the two funny little old women hug the Raggedys, so Freddie Fox and Willie Weazle went to the door and scratched to get out. "No, you don’t,” cried the two funny 'little old women. And running to the kitchen, they both came back with a pan cake paddle.

He decWd to go to southern France. With Stevenson’s ‘Travels With a Donkey" as guido-book. he visited by moonlight that weird city of monoliths, famous Montpellier-10-Vleux. } iterlng this elr'ater desert, l\is attention was attracted by the skulking actions of a bulky Individual In the uniform of the A. E. V. CHAPTER 111 Rattling By Moonlight Now tho last of the A. E. F. had leng since said farewell to tho shores of France. Then, too, Monsieur lJuohomin knew that the uniform of the Americans had more than frequently been used by those ancient acquaintances of his, the Apaches of Paris, as a cloak for their own misdoings. So it didn’t need the air of stealth that marked this business to persuade him there was mischief In the brew. He got in motion to Investigate without stopping to debate an excuse tor so doing, and several seconds beture ho heard a woman’s cries. Duchemin broke Into a run that carried him round a corner and plumped him * headlong Into the theater of villainy. This was open ground—a rudely 1 oval pit little less than seven hundred feet in its narrowest diameter and something like four hundred in depth, a vast black well against whose darkness the blue-white moongiare etched a strange grouping of figures, seven in all. On his one hand Duchemin n woman In mourning clasping to her bosom a terrified young girl, the - author of the screams: on the other. Three men close-locked In grimmest combat, one defending himself against two with indifferent success; while in between stood a third woman with her back to and perilously near the chasm, shrinking from the threat of a pistol in the hands of the fourth man. This last was the one nearest Duchemin, who was upon him so : suddenly that It would be difficult to say which was the more surprised when Duchemin’s stick struck down the pistol hand of the other with such force as must have broken his wrist. Tlie weapon fell, he uttered , an oath as lie swung round, clutching the maimed member: and thon, seeing his assailant for the first time, lie swooped down to recover the weapon so swiftly that it was in his left hand and spitting vicious i tongues of orange flame before Duchemin was able to get in a second blow. But there was the abrupt end of that passage. Smitten cruelly he tween the eyes, tha fellow grunted. | thickly and went over backwards like i a bundle of rags, head and shoulders ! Jutting out over the brank of the i precipice so far that, though his body checked perceptibly as it struck the ground, his own weight carried him on. he shot out Into space and vanished as though some unseen hand had lifted up from these dark depths and plucked him down to annihilation. The young girl shrieked again, the i woman gave a gasp of horror. Duche j mir. himself knew a sickish qualm | But he had no time to spare for that it was going ill with the man con tending against two. Tite adventurer's stick might have been bewitched that night, so magical was its work; a single blow on the nearest head (but believe it was selected with care!) and instantaneously that knot of contention was re • solved into its three several parts. The smitten clapped hands to his hurt, moaning. His brother scoundrel started hack with staring eyes In which rage gave place to dismay as he grasped tho change in the situation and saw the stick swinging for his head in turn. He ducked neatly; the stick whistled through thin air: and before Duchemin could recover the other had turned and was running for dear life. Duchemin delayed a bare instant: hut manifestly his assistance was no more needed here. In a breath he j who had been so recently outmatched I recollected his wits and took the initiative with admirable address.

Duchemin saw him swerve from his first course and steer for a vehicle standing at some distance—evidently the conveyance which had brought the sighteers to view the spectacle of Montpelllar-le-Vieux by moonlight. "Waiting In the middle of a broad avenue of misshapen obelisks, a dilapidated barouche on either side Its pole drooped two sorry specimens of crowbalt. And their pained amazement was so unfeigned that Duchemin laughed aloud when the fat rogue bounded to the box, snatched up reins and whip and curled a cruel lash round their bony flanks. Since it took them some moments to come to their senses and appreciate that all this was not an evil dream. Duchemin’s hands were clutching the back of the carriage when the horses broke suddenly into ar awkward, lumbering gallop. Tho moment Duchemin found his own feet In the swaying vehicle he leaped on the shoulders of the other and dragged him backwards from the box. What followed was not very clear to him, a melange of impressions The mock-American fought like a devil unchained. The animals at the pole ran away in good earnest, that wretched barouche rolled and pitched like a rudderless shell in a crazy sea, tha two men floundered In Its well like fish In a pail. They fought by no rules, with no science, but bit and kicked and gouged and wrenched and stuck as occasion offered and each to the best of his ability. Duchemin caught glimpses of a face hideously distorted with working features and disfigured with smears of soot through which insane eyeballs rolled and glared in the moonlight. Then a hand like a vice gripped his windpipe, he was on hlti back, his head overhanging the edge of the floor, a thumb was feeling for one of his eyes. Yet It could not have bene much later when he and hie opponent were standing and swaying as one, locked In an embrace of wrestlers. Still, Duchemin knew as many tricks of hand-to-hand lighting as the other, perhaps a few more. And then he was, no doubt, in far better con-

HIS HEAD OVERHANGING THE EDGE OF THE FLOOR. Joyed Infinitely, sent the brute spinning out to land on his head, stunned him. Evidently it didn’t. When Duchemin had scrambled up td tho box, captured the reins aiul brought the nags to a stop, he saw no signs of his Apache by the roadside. Not five figures but four only were waiting beside the cirque when, wheeling the barouche as near the group as the lay of the ground permitted, he climbed down. A man lay at length in the coarse grass, his head pillowed in the lap of one woman. Another woman stood aside, trembling and wringing aged hands. The third knelt beside the supine man. but rose quickly as Duchemin drew near, and came to meet him. In this one he recognized her to whose salvation Chance had first led him, and now found time to appreciate a face of pallid loveliness, intelligent and composed, while she addressed him quietly and directly. An exquisite voice, English, he guessed.

or possibly American, but much at home in France. “Monsieur d'Aubrao has been wounded, a knife thrust. It -will be necessary to get him to a surgeon as quickly as possible.” “If monsieur would be so good.” Duchemin knelt beside tho man. who welcomed him with open eyes and a wry smile that was almost as faint ( as his voice. “It Is nothing, monsieur—a clean cut in the arm, with some loss of blood.” The young girl In whose lap rested the head of Monsieur d’Aubrao sat back and watched Duchemin with curious, grave eyes in which traces of moisture glimmered. “Had the animal at my mercy, I thought,” d'Aubrac apologized, “when suddenly he drew that knife, struck me and broke away.” “I understand,” Duchemin replied. “But don’t talk. You’ll want all your strength, my friend.” With his pocket-knife he laid open the sodden sleeves of coat and shirt, exposing an upper arm stained dark with blood that welled in ugly Jets from a cut both deep and wide. "Artery severed,” he announced, and straightened up and look about, at a loss. My pack—?’* The woman who had spoken to him found and fetched It from no great distance. and Its contents enabled Duchemin to Improvise a tourniquet, and when the flow of blood was checked, a bandage. With d’Aubrao disposed as comfortably as might be in the barouche. Duchemin turned to find tho other women at his elbow. To the eldest he offered a bow suited to her condition and a hand to help her Into the barouche. "Madame . . .” The gentle Inclination of the aged hsad which acknowledged his courtesy was ali eloquent of her quality as he found the name which she gave him in quavering accents. ’’Madame de Sevenie, monsieur.” "With madame’s permission: I am Andre Duchemin.” "Monsieur Duchemin has placed us all deeply in his debt. Louise . . .” The girl in the carriage looked vip and bowed, murmuring. ‘‘Madamoiselle de Montalais, monsieur: my granddaughter. And Eve . . .” She turned to the third, to her whose voice of delightful accent was not in Duchemin’s notion wholly French: "Madame de Montalais, my daughter by adoption, widow of my grandson, who died gloriously for his country at La Fere Champenoise.” (To Be Continued.)

BOSSES IRE ISSUE DODGERS Candidates *Resort to Platitudes in Answers to League of Voters’ Questionnaire. By F. G. ORR WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Oid you ever know a person whom you couldn't pin down to a single Issue, who had such a flow of platitudinous language you felt yourself under tho influence of some drug, while you listened to him? It seems to me that the answers given by most of the candidates for election to the Senate or the House, to the questions put them by the National League of Women Voters, are of that kind. I visited the headquarters of the National League. They showed me the compiled results of the questions asked the candidates in Nebraska. Tho Republican nominee for United States Senator, R. B. Howell, says he “approves the Washington conference affirmations.” Gilbert M. Hitchcock, the Democratic nominee, has no statement at all to make on that subject. Mr. Howell says we should have a hand In world affairs, “so far as our interests dictate, beyond that so far as we may without prejudicing our interests.” Maybe that moans something to somebody; it certainly means nothing to mo. And this is a fair sample. When you ask a farmer on your auto route how far it is to the next town, are you content with the an swer, “Not very far?” PIONEERS TO PICNIC Society Will Motor to Strawtown and Westfield. Members of tha Society of Indiana Pioneers will assemble at the home of Mrs. Daniel B. Luten, 3357 Ruckle St., at 2 p. m. Saturday, whence they will drive to Strawtown by way of the Allisonvllle Road. They will stop at Conner Prairie, Conner Settlement and Indian Mound. Supper will be served at Conner’s Dam and return will be made by way of Westfield.

PAID If one favorite dish is worth ten dollars, what would be the price of a full meal? That’s what Arthur Capper of Kansas would like to know. In response to a request from a periodical Mrs. Capper sent in the recipe for the Senator's favorite dish, and by return mail came a check for ten iron men. The Senator now thinks he can remember more dishes of which he is very fond, and Mrs. Capper is thinking of buying a portable typewriter to write down the data.
