COMES 10 THE WOMEN
New Interest Being Taken in the
Coming Speech Of Noted , SuJTragmt.
The caii of the new patriotism has
tome to the women of Indiana, and the keen intercut being taken in the
"uiTracc situatisn is evidenced by tb
demand from every city and county m the state for speakers of eloquence
end authority.
This demand is greater than can be
supplied from the ranks of the local
ufTrage workers, and in response to
an urgent appeal from the Wonun i
r'ranchise League of Indiana to the National American Woman Suffrage
Association, there has been sent to this state Dr. Kllic MrCollum Jones,
a field director of the national or-
ramzation. A tour of the state hai
been mapped out, and within the next
four weeks every congressional dn trict will have been visited by th
suffiaifc emissary, carrying the apucal of women, franchised and un
franchised, all over the United States.
'Wake up! Women of Indiana!"
Pr. Jones is an Iowa suffragist, and n the recent campaign in that state
was a tower of strength, both
speaker and organiser. An officer of
the state charities and prominent te and local worker in the W. C. T. U. the naturally became a force In '.he Iowa suffrage ranks. Her many
yearn' experience as a minister and Chautauqua lecturer has developed her
natural speaker' (rifts and as an orator she is both logical and eloquent.
She was elected dean of Lombard Col
lect-, of tialesburg, 111., and shortly thereafter was called to the nationrl uffnK work. In this latter field ?he ha.i won nation-wide recognition as a charming and forcefu! speaker, not to those who know her personally she appeals not only as t brilli'int lecturer and a magnetic leader in 6 (Treat, cause, but also as a devoted mother and the center of a charming home circle. t r. Jones will be in the Ninth District, from Thursday. June 28 to Sunday, July first, under the charge of Mrs. James p. Wa.ifin, district chairiran of the Woman's Franchise l.eaCue of Indiana, and will speak at l-eb-anon Thursday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock in the Presbyterian church in this city. Do not miss the opportunity of hearing Dr. Jones.

(b we iiinaiwi Stwt fsrrKv.) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 22."Hopefur is the word that describes the coal situation in Indiana. As a result of conference between the select committee named by Chairman
Will H. Hays, of the State Council of
Defense and in line with the recommendation of Governor James P.
Goodrich,with a committee authorized by the Indiana Operator's Association, it is believed the first steps have been taken that will prevent a coai stringency and prices impossibly
high for next winter's fuel supply. Following a discussion of the situ
ation, in w hich it was disclosed that only the railroad fuel mines are being supplied 'with 100 per cent of car requirements and the mines supplying industrial and commercial demands
are receiving far below the average of
78 per cent it was agreed that further consideration of the subject be left to smaller committee of the defense council and the representatives of the operators. Chairman Hays accordingl named William G. Irwin chairman, Charles Fox, II. N. Kurrie, E. A. Wil-
sun and Evans Woollen as members of
the council committee. A. M. Ogle,
II. M. Ferguson. P. H. Penrta and Wil
liam Johnson bear the operators
commission to find a means of settle
ment with the state's officials.
After a preliminary discussion the conferees left the matter rest until
Wednesday of next week. In the
meantime llr. Ogle will attend a conference of operators from all over the nation, with a committee from the council of national defense in Washington, and another between the same officials and representatives of the coat operators of Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, in Chicago.
Informally representatives of the coal operators expressed the opinion
that the federal government will es
tablish zones for the production and distribution of coal and fix a maxi
mum price.
The operators, it was announced,
are wilting to enter into nefotiationi to conclude a permanent and satis factory solution of the present situation, which it was stated, is depriv
ing state institutions, public utilities
and small consumers of necessary fuel at prices they run afford to pay.
The campaign to promote the use of
bread, regardless as to how many
days it has been from the ovens, so
linjr a it retains its purity. Hill be prosecuted in Indiana, with renewed vigor. State Food Conservator H. K. Karnard, encouraged by the action of the council of national defense, expects to bring added pressure on the bakers of the state to effect an agreement to refuse the return of what is known as "stale bread". The state council of defense has directed the mcst vigorous effort be npplied to prevent the waste that attaches to the return of bread to the bukery. after it luts failed nf sale, in twenty-four hours. It is believed that once the consuming public realizes the importance of this form of conservation, it will co-operate to the end that every ounce of available food-stuff will be saved and consumed. The plan of refusing to accept the return of "stale bread" has been tried in many places and after a brief campaign of education has been found very satisfactory in its results. "Indiana is no less patriotic whea it comes to saving bread, in this manner, than any other state, and I feel that the people will fall in line just as they have with recruits for the army and money for the Lilierty Ioan and
Red Cross," said Chairmaa Hays, of
the defense councilGovernor Goodrich has also given his endorsement to the proposed plan of bread saving.

KILLING OF BIRDS.
Residents in Some Sections of City Complain at Work of Boys. A number of complaints from residents in the north and west nart nf
the city have been made turnmst th
killing of birds by boys. Perhaps if
the slayers knew that it wa against the law to do such acts they would probably refrain from the slaying. 1 his act by youngsters should be put to a stop at a.iee as it is not imlv
Lgainst the law but it is also cruel for many of the birds killed leave young,
who naving ao means ot obtaining food, starve. The matter hits kuii
laid before the proper authorities and
r tut slnytnf is not stopped, measjrnn will be taken Lo that, th
offenders are punished.
