Is under way here to obtain the

pledges of the legislators. "At the Republican women's luncheon held recently, the governor was most enthusiastically applauded when he suggested that he would- probably have a special session to ratify the amendment," Miss Annette Edmunds, treasurer of the league, said in discussing the matter today. The governor's expressed reason for making this proposition was that both the tax law and the road law were in the higher courts and neither of them could be taken up by the assembly until ' decisions on them had been handed down by the courts. He believed that these cases would not be decided for several months. Time Is Critical. In the meantime the ratification of the suffrage amendment in Indiana is being delayed at a time which will be very critical for the suffrage cause, sot only in this state but all over the United States, said a local woman. There are several states waiting for Indiana to ratify before they take action. The link in the chain of ratification is being broken by Indiana's delay, and Jor this reason the governor Is willing to call the session provided the Franchise league can gain the support of the legislators to the pLu. Thirty-six states must ratify to make the amendment operative. Both .the political parties and the great majority of men and women in this country wish every adult to be a full citizen by the 1920 election. Indinna will not be the state to delay this great consummation.

Monday win be "Girls Will Be Girls

one of the classiest girl acts in vaudeville. This act is composed of six very good-looking young ladies and one handsome young man who sings and dances and makes merry generally with his fair associates. An elaborate outlay of scenery Is carried while the girls' wardrobe is lavish. Another big feature is Frankie Fay and Her "Jazz Boys." Miss Fay knows how to wear rowns as well as how to sing the latest ongs, while her boys, who are musicians, are past-masters ' at producing seductive Jazz notes. Hall and O'Brien also are on the bill. This young man has a melodious tenor voice which he uses to a great advantage in singing Irish songs, and his partner is a pretty target for his songs. Gladys Brockwell in her flve-reel Fox production "Chasing Rainbows" will be the screen attraction. Opening Thursday for the last half, we have the return of the favorite "Zarrow's Big Girl Revue," with their company of 25 people headed by William Young and Miss Mona Mayo, who scored tremendously during their engagement here last October. They come back this time with a new comedy entitled "You Surprise Me," with a wealth of new scenery and wardrobe. Among the featured players are William Young, principal comedian ; Mona Mayo, prima donna; Babe De Palmer, soubrette; Ray Duncan, comedian; Benny Rumley, nifty stepper; Beulah Burnett, inguene; and The Revue Male Quartet.

This company comes here from The

means wherepy any member oi ine

federation can obtain a complete report as to the financial status of any company, individual or corporation offering bonds or stocks for sale. It was further recommended that a rigid blue sky law be prepared and presented to the next session of the legislature. The legislature committee was directed to aid In urging that the bill be passed. The new appointments to the central legislative committee of the federation were nade by the committee. They are Henry Lochers, of Johnson county, and Charles W. Hickman, of Tippecanoe county. According to William Bosson, treasurer of the federation, the action of the committee resulted from the numerous fake stock schemes which have been presented to the farmers of the state in the last year. The farmers have lost thousands of dollars in this way, he said.
