MOTHER IS STEPPING OUT
Woman suffrage is all but ach
ieved in England. Russia and
France have decided to give wo
men a vote. Sixteen American
states give American women a
right to vote on president. And
in three other states one house
of the legislature has put presi
dential measures through. These
states are Vermont, Iowa and
Michigan. In Maine and New
York the voters this fall will
vote on full suffrage amend
ments.
Now that is mere politics.
Here is business:
Twenty-eight American states
have mothers’ pension laws.
Forty-four states provide for
compulsory education. In
twenty-six states the age of con
sent is 18 years: in Kansas and
California it is 21. We are mak
ing the woman question a serious
question in this world. We are
caring for motherhood as it
was never cared for before on
earth.
For instance:
rmeen mousanu motners uie
annually in the United States,
I according to the Children’s Bu
reau of the Department of Lab
or. in childbirth, and with dis
eases directly associated with
childbirth. Most of thse deaths
are due to ignorance and lack of
proper attention. The bureau,
which has investigated the ma
terial and child welfare work in
Canada and New’ Zealand, sug
gests for rural relief in this
country a rural nursing service,
I centering at the county seat,
w’ith nurses especially trained to j
recognize dangerous symptoms
in prospective mothers; an acces-1
isible county center to which mo
thers could come for information
about personal hygiene; a cot
i tage hospital or beds in an acces
sible general hospital, especially
for the proper care of abnormal
cases; skilled attendance obtain
able by each mother in the coun
ty.
The spread of woman suffrage
all over the earth means a deep
and intelligent interest in bring
ing children into the world vvell
bred, keeping these children
well-housed, yvell-feu, and send
ling them into the world well
trained to live as self respecting
citizens.
Mother surely is stepping out,
and she in stepping out into a
more abundant life titan she
ever has lived before.
Mrs. A. L. Crudup returned
Thursday evening from Mulber
ry where she attended a meeting
of tiie Baptist Church and vis
ited Mesdumes Horace Wagner
and Harley Self.
Arkansas Childrens

tle boy or girl by writing to Rev.

St., Little Rock. In five years
this home has cared for 447 chil
dren.
Any one wishing to help this
home may send to Rev. I). J.
Weems, Conway, Ark., or Rev.

Asked Papa to Whip Him.
A young lady, her cheeks
flushed with indignation and her
eyes flashing fire, burst in upon
her parents and demanded in no
uncertain tones that papa go im
mediately and lick a certain
young man in this town. Why
papa, he flirted with me. He
asked ‘which way, little one’
and offered to follow me. 1 want
him whipped. Oh, if 1 were
only a man."
Mother naturally got (lady’s
hat and told him where the six
shooter lay hidden away. But
papa did not take the hint.
“Daughter, ” he said, calling
the girl to his side, “no one on
this earth is more interested in
you than your old dad. No one
quicker to rise to your defense.
But, listen. This verv interest
led me to study you, and this is
what 1 have learned.
“You go down the street very
scantily dressed. You apparent
ly deliberately expose as much
of your person as is necessary to
appeal to the carnal instincts of
a man. Your lovely neck, a
large portion of your well-de
veloped breast, your arms and
by means of a short skirt and
transparent hose, a goodly share
of your lower limbs are exposed
to view.
“That part of your body that
is partly covered is clothed in a
may that every curve and angle
is out in bold relif. Then when
you pass a man or group of men,
you giggle, toss your head and
perhaps remark to your girl com
panions that ‘this is the slowest
old town that ever was.’ Anu if
some man challenges you. you
want him shot.” —Ex.

1 wish to thank the M. A.
U. for their settlement of the
claim of my wife, Drusick Eic
henherper, who held certificate
84, circle 14. Your district man
ager, Tom Edgin, handed me
draft for $775.00, which was full
pay that was due me at a cost of
$40 39. 1 think the M. A U.
is the poor man’s friend. I wish
every poor family would become
members of the order. It is in
reach of the poorest of people
and the help comes in the great
est time of need. Thanking you
again, I will do all I can for the
grand order, M. A. U.
As ever a friend,
A. L. Eichenberger.

BOLUNGER-McILROY
Mr. John Bollinger and Miss
Gladis Mcllroy were married
Thursday evening at the Meth
odist Church. Rev. W. J. LeRoy
officiating. These deservedly
young people had planned to be
married at 8 o’clock. When their
friends found out about it and
declared they were going to be
present, the hour was changed
to 7:30, and thereby they avoided
a big wedding party. Only the
board of stewards and Mr. Alvin
Clark and Miss Hazel Bryan
were present.
Miss Gladis is the eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
Mcllroy of White Oak, and is a
splendid young woman, who has
friends wherever she is known.
Mr. Bollinger is a highly es
teemed young man, whose home
had been at Charleston until re
cently when he was elected coun
ty clerk and came to Ozark to
assume the duties of that office.
Mrs. Mcllroy has been his effi
cient assistant for the past few
months.
The Spectator joins their many
friends in Franklin in wishing
for them every happiness.

In Memory
_
Little Edna Fay Patrick de
parted this life Sunday evening.
June 3rd. at 6:15 o’clock, after
two weeks of intense suffering.
God sent an angel to bear her
safely home.
She was the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Patrick of
Watalula, Arkansas.
Her body was laid to rest in
the Jethro cemetery, June 4th,
at 3:30 in the afternoon. At the
grave, Bro. James spoke many
words of consolation to the
broken-hearted parents, rela
tives and friends. There in the
newly made grave, with beauti
ful spring roses round her, we ,
left her to await the resurrec
tion morning.

FOUND NEW BORN INFANT
An infant was found on the
right.of-way of the Iron Moun

Dridge over Little Mulberry, by
the crew of a northbound freight
who phoned the news back from
Alma Wednesday morning.
Local officers handled the case
and the jury brought in a verdict
of death by causes unknown, the
responsibility was fixed on party
or parties unknown. The only
clue was an Oklahoma City news
paper wrapped around the body.
