WOMEN DEMAND
WARS SHALL END
Peace League Means Wore to
Them Than It Can Mean
to Men.
dr. shaw's stirring plea.
(By ths Late Dr. Anna Howard Shaw.)
Seven million one hundred thousand
men who hurt laid down their lives In
the great war. Tliluk of It! Seven
million, one hundred thousand young j
men hed died on the field of battle!
What does that mean to the women ,
(t the world? It means that seven ;
million one hundred thousand women
walked day by day with their faces
toward an opeu grave that tliey might
give life to a son. It means that
seven million one hundred thousand .
Uttl© children lay in (he arms of a
mother whose love had made them |
face even the terrors of death that j
LCey migr.t become tbe mothers of
men.
It meats that year after year these
women had put up their lives into the
Lives of their sons until they had rear-
ed them to be men. For what? In
the hope ihat these sons of theirs could
give to the world the things for which
women dream, the things for which
women hope and pray and long. These
were the things that the women had
In their hearts when they gave birth
to their sons.
But who can estimate tho value of
seven million one hundred thousand
dead sons of the women of the world?
Who can estimate the price which the
women have paid for this war; what
It has cost them, not only in the death
of their sons, because that Is a phase
of our war to which we look.
We hear our orators tell us of the
courage of our men. How they went
across the sea. Very few of them re-
member to tell us of the courage of
our women, who also went across the
sea; of the women who died nursing
the sick and wounded; the women
who died in the hospitals, where the
terrible bomb3 came and drove them
almost to madness. They tell us
nothing of the forty thousand English
women who went to work back of tho
trendies In France.
They tell us nothing of the thou-
sands upon thousands upon thousands
of women who not only toiled and
worked and slaved in order that the
war might be successful, but we do
not hear of the thousands of women,
not alone In Armenia, not alone in
Montenegro, not alone in Serbia, but
in Flanders, in Belgium, in Rumania,
in Russia—the thousands of women
who lie in graves today, murdered,
so horribly murdered that men dare
not speak of it.
And yet we women are asked what
we know about the League of Na-
tions ; asked what we can understand
about a I.eugue of Nations. Oil men I
the horrible deaths; the horrible lives
of thousands upon thousands of wo-
men today in all thiso nations, who
must live, and who must lock in the
faces of children unwelcomed, unde-
nted— of little children—and know
Ihat these are the result of war.
And then ask women why they
should he Interested in a league of
peace?
Women Suffer Moit From War,
If there is any bdtly of citizens in
Ihe world who ought to be interested
in a league to ultimately bring to the
world peace It is the mothers of men,
and the women who suffered as only
women can suffer In the war and in
devastated countries.
And we .call upon them, we women
of the world call upon the men who
have been fighting all these battles of
the years, the men who have led
aimles, and led armies close to their
deaths.
We are now calllEPg upon the men
of the world to In some way or an-
other find a passage out of the sea of
death. We are asking them to form
a league which will bring hope to the
women of the future. If women re
to bear sons only that they may die,
If women may not have hop*
and aspirations for their children,
if women may not dre«n the dreams
that have In them the hope of the
highest civilizations, the highest njpral
„nd spiritual life of the people—IX wo-
men may not have those In th«ir
heart" as tho mothers ol men, then
women will cease to desire to be tha
mothers of men/* A*d why should
they uot? Why should th«£

Chautauqua
Signers Meet
Last Thursday evening a
meeting of the signers of the
1919 Chautauqua contract met
at J. H. Crawford's confection-
err and organized into commit-
tees to make arrangments for
chautauqua which will be held
here Sept. 13-15. The organiza-
tions were completed and acti.e
work has been commenced. The
grogram for this year promises
to be better than that of last
year. On Saturday afternoon of
Sept. 13 the Cumberland Sing-
ers, a mixed quartet, will open
the chautauqua and that even-
ing they will entertain again,
also Rena Gilman will entertain
with excellent reading. On Sun-
day afternoon and evening Geo.
Vierra's Royal Hawaiian Quartet
genuine natives Hawaiians, will
entertain with steel guitars and
ukeleles. On Sunday evening
Dr. Mattison Wilber Chase, the
great master lecturer, will enler-
tain chautauqua patrons. Mon-
day the third and last day will
see The Novelty Trio, who will
entertain with a three piece
orchestra, playing a large num-
ber of instrument?. On Monday
evening a lecture by "Bob Whis-
ton," twelve months over there,
will, without a doubt be an inte-
resting number.
The price of admission this
year will be the same as last year j
$1.50 for adult aeason ticket )
75c for childs season tickets, pius
10'< government war tax. Single
admissions will be 25c and .5 >c
for children and 50c and 75c for
adults.
On request of a large number
of farmers the committee has
numbered about two hundred
seats which will be sold as le-
served seats at 50c each. Rj
buying a reserved seat ticket if
you are a little late coming in
your choice seat is awaiting you,
otherwise you are obliged to
come early or sit in a back seat,
thus some of the farmers and al-
so t-he business men thought this
would be a great accomidation to
them as it is not always con\en-
itnt to come early. There is a
good selection of seats and e\en
though you do not purchase a re-
served seat you will be able to
find a seat unless the crowd ex-
ceeds that of last year by a big
number. Arrangments arc be-
ing made to fill the tent iull c i
seats and everyone will be mae'e
as comfortable as possible.

Kari-ieri Wheat Sale Bill Season
Mrs. E. Statton and daughter,
Mrs. J. A. Short, left the latter

going there to make her home
wjll visit her son. Louie, at
Cuseing.

Mrs. £.. G. Forcis.
An effort is "ecir.j put forth by
the local banks to induce the
growing oi Kan-Red wheat. In
order to interest the tarmers of
this vicinity in the growing of
this popular wheat both the
banks have agreed to loan the
boys in this vicinity the money
necessary to purchase pure Kan-
Red wheat seed sufficient to sow
ten acres, if they will plant it,
and will take the boy's personal
note as security. Any farmer
who has the pure Kan-Red
wheat seed should report it to
the two banks and any boy wish-
ing to plant this wheat should
also make inquiry at the banks.
Mr. Noel Ray, who is deeply in-
terested in this move, gave us
the following information re- J
garding this popular wheat. He
says "Kan-Red wheat was devel-
oped at the Kansas experiment
station and is a 3train of Turkey
red wheat and is less susceptabie
tc rust than any wheat grown.
According to reports from Still •
water, this whiat wrvs grown in
ail counties in the state and it
surpassed any oiher wheat grown
, under similar conditions.'
The Independent oSce the p\it
wock "cr ten days has had the
heaviest run on public sale bills
in its history. There has been
a sale billed for every day for
the past several days and for
several day to come. In
July we bought the D o v er
News plant, thus increasing our
type about a third or better and
this week we have used every
availible type in the office. In
this issue will be found seven
sale bills. In order to get these
bills in the paper complete we
have been forced to reduce them
down to as small space as possi-
ble but have in all instances
printed the entire bill. The
reason for so many sales is the
selling of farms, causing people
to move and the easiest; cheapest
and best method of disposing of
stock and Implements, etc , is to
make a public sale. Ii you want
to keep posted cn public ce.lci
watch the I^ leverd^nt dates.
