Public Meeting |
to be held in the H|j

of this week, at ten o’clock in the morning §j|j
The object of this meeting is to take into consideration the issuing of
bonds in a sum necessary to reconstruct, repair or erect, where needed, new

mg and present facts and figures relating to its demands for public school
equipment, and their views as to the wisdom of borrowing money for public
school building purposes.

and all persons interested in the public schools ought to have their views and
wishes heard and weighed, and that as the trustees, patrons, teachers and
nyfl taxpayers generally styould be Called together to discuss the matter, and this ft Vis
suggestion was generally approved.

should have shelter and supplies for
flyers and their crafts and should be
accessible t or the trade center it is

j supreme importance because com

■only in proportion to its commercial

with markings visible from great

i that flyers may be aided in finding

“Fields at frequent intervals mean

LABOR FEDERATION
PUNS AGGRESSIVE
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
(By The Associated Press.)
IVasington. I). Feb. 6. -Plans for
ihe most aggressive and general
campaign ever waged by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor were formu
lated at a meeting here today of a
general committee composed of the
1 -executive council and heads of all the
departments of the Federation.
It was said officially that the cam
paign to be conducted in connection
with the election in November not
only would be aimed at members of
Congress or candidates unfavorable to
organized labor, but also tor un
friendly candidates for President,
Governors or members of State Leg
islatures.
Every trade and craft affiliated with
he Federation will be called upon to
ake up the fight in every section of
he country and to exert every effort
to elect only such public officials as
ire favorable to the principles of or
ganized labor. It was said that a
vast army of organizations and work
ers would be recruited for the cam
paign.
Every member of the present House
or Senate offering for re-election
who has by his record shown an un
friendly spirit towards organized la
bor it was said, will be opposed by
the labor vote, which the Federation
officials place at about 4.000.000.
President Gompers presided at the
, session today and there was the ful
lest discussion of the whole question.

Don’ts By President
When a dog approaches you, wag
ging his tail, he takes you to be a |
gentleman. DON'T let him find out
that you are not one by ill-treating
him.
DON'T leave your horse unblanket
.ed this cold weather even in the
stable. It will take less to feed him,
j if he is kept warm.
DON’T allow the birds to starve
i for want of food. It is hard for them
•to find food, when the ground is cov
iered with sleet ami snow. They help
us to make our living by destroying
weed seed and insects that prey upon
our crops
DON'T leave your animals out to
suffer from cold. Give them a good
| shelter and warm bedding.
| DON’T put a frosted bit into your
horse’s mouth. Dip it into water or
take the frost out by rubbing it with
your hand or a dry cloth.
DON'T run the risk of your horse
falling and breaking a leg because of
dull shoes. Keep them well sharp
ened.

SUFFRAGE PM IN
P. E. CHURCHES BIRRED
Although some Protestant Episco- j
pal rectors have allowed the “Suf-I
frage Prayer" for the passage of the >
Federal suffrage amendment to be
circulated in their churches. Bishop
John Gardner Murray said yesterday
that' the circulation or use of the!,
prayer in any church of the Diocese i
of Maryland did not have and would |:
not have his official or unofficial in- j i
dorsement and could not be made an j:
official part of the Episcopal service. *
In a brief statement, he said:
“This question of suffrage is a mat-!;
ter exclusively for the State and has |
nothing to do in any way with the ;
Protestant Episcopal Church, its ad-ji
ministration or its services. It is a’ :
matter entirely apart from religion. j‘
No suffrage prayers have been made j
an official part of any service of thej
Protestant Episcopal Church. Any *
such prayers which may have been
Offered unofficially have not had and
will not have my authority or sane- j
tion. As Bishop of the Diocese of j
Maryland I have nothing whatever to i
say on the suffrage question.”
