papers," said Mrs. Rogers. The Woman Voter, published in New York, and the Woman's Journal, at Boston. But we want to get out a state paper to help us in our local work, advise us now to conduct fiinancial campaigns, aid in keeping us informed of rallies, county gatherings and other items of interest, also presenting needed legislation." Everybody was urged to become a subscriber to the paper, at 50 cents a year, as it was only by getting an assured number of subscribers for the paper that it could materialize into an important factor in the work of the state organization. Dedication of the Flag.

The most beautiful and important feature of the program was the dedication of the new Suffrage flag by Mrs. Lewis Lawrence Smith of Strafford. The flag is a keystone on a field of blue surrounded by 11 stars on a field of yellow, the stars representing the 11 states that have already enfranchised women. Frank S. Forney unfurled the new banner which was given a rising salute, after which Mrs.

Smith proceeded with her address as follows: "I regret that our great orator and leader, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, could not be with us today, as we expected. And it has fallen to my lot to dedicate our flag with a few simple words. We cannot dedicate it, it muse dedicate us. We must nobly resolve to make this flag mean much to state and nation, and in this sense we must dedicate it first to the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage party.

our country's flag, we as women have no distinct share, save to follow it with love and loyalty. For the first time in the history of the United States, we have a flag of our own; a woman's flag, to draw us closer and- closer, as women, in the symbol of the woman's movement to help other women and children. What the Flag' Means. "We dedicate it to the cause, the cause we all serve; we consecrate ourselves afresh to the task, with the end now plainly in view. There is room for many stars.

In 1920 another state, the Keystone, must put a star in the flag. We dedicate it first to the men and women of Pennsylvania; it is your flag. We want the vote to help serve you. We think the good men need the good women to make homes better, our children finer individuals and better citizens. "And lastly, we dedicate it to our country, the flag we all serve.

We believe we offer our government a gift of loyalty and devotion, such as women have never before been able to offer; the service of a great army of women organized in every state and in almost every county; women trained to work for the common good; women with the desire to help their country in every possible difficulty and danger; the help that only enfranchised women can give, and so, we consecrate ourselves to this task, 'to pay the last full measure of devotion to secure a government of the people, for the people and by the people. To this faith, which we for the first time have made possible, we dedicate ourselves The Flag Accepted. The flag was received for the State Suffrage organization by Mrs. John O. Miller of Pittsburgh, first vice president, who said: "Some people say the suffragists fought a good fight in 1915.

In 1920 we intend to make a better fight, and the men of Pennsylvania will see that we win. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, at the Chicago convention, asked us to tithe our time and our money for the good of the cause. For the state association, it gives me pleasure to accept the flag." Told About Chicago Parade. Mrs.

George Dunning of Philadelphia told in a most interesting manner of the parade at Chicago, and the dilemma of the Suffragists as to the advisability of parading in the rain. "If we don't parade," said some, "we will show a lack of courage, while others contended that if we did parade, the men would think we did not have sense enough to come in out of the rain." The journey to Chicago was graphically described by the speaker, and the receptions given the delegation along the way. "Suffrage has been indorsed and is a real political issii'', all of the great political parties recognizing the justice of our cause," said Mrs. Dunning. Helping- Oriental Women.

Mrs. J. O. Miller was again introduced and made some interesting announcements. The progressive stages of male franchise in this country were told, and many clever illustrations were used to make telling points.

"Women can do more good for the women in China, India and other countries by working for universal suffrage than by attending missionary societies and making quilts, she declared. "Political and economic freedom is the great boon that came to women the world over. Man does not think in terms of babies, but in terms of money; this is no fault of his, but the result of his education. Woman is to complement man and together they can work for better conditions.

Reception of Visitors. Mrs. Kiernan received the visitors in the spacious parlor of her beautiful home. The house, verandas and grounds overflowed with happy guests. On the lawn were gaily decorated refreshment booths and hundreds of campstools were provided for those who desired to seek shady places surrounding the handsome villa.

Each group of counties had its own rest room, and the registrars were kept busy taking the names of the guests. Miss Emma McAlarney of Harrisburg and Miss Grace Arnold of Lewistown performed this important duty. Beauty and Brains. The weather, though somewhat warm was perfect for outdoor exercises and the ladies were decked out in their gauzy summer finery, there white fluffy frocks being brightened with yellow badges and ribbons bearing the Suffragists' favorite mottoes. The happy throng included Suffragists of all ages, from rosy-cheeked damsels in their teens to gray-haired grandams, all looking their smartest and best and bubbling over with enthusiasm.

It was a well-dressed, good-looking crowd throughout and withal a highly intelligent and good-humored one. It was a fine representation of Pennsylvania's best womanhood and one could not help but feel that the country would be the better off to have the body politic leavened with such sweetness, virtue and grace. Musical Treat. During the morning, the Somerset High school orchestra of 30 pieces, under the leadership of Prof. W.

P. Young, discoursed sweet music from the west veranda. An added musical attraction was several beautiful vocal selections by Mrs. Mabel McKinley Baer, niece of the late President, William McKinley, who has won distinction in the musical circles of New York. Mrs.

Curtis O. Kooser of Somerset played the accompaniments for Mrs. Baer. Gustatory Delights. At noon the of the Somerset Suffrage organization served a cafeteria lunch from two commodious booths pitched on the west lawn, where home-made delicacies were dispensed with gracious hospitality.

Among the rarebits served was some of Mrs. Kiernan's famous "crock cheese" made according to the Somerset County "Hausfrauen" formula. Hot coffee and ieecold lemonade were served from another booth. There was plenty to eat and drink for all and a splendid picnic it was, even the hungry newspaper scribes getting their fill for once.

They arranged themselves on the large east veranda and other shady spots while a large number of handsome young women clambered out of the second story windows to the roof of the porch where they squatted tailor fashion, giving a fine exhibition of the latest modes in suffragette hosiery and obtaining a birdseye view of the speaker's stand which was under a canopy of roses. Suffrage Going Some. Mrs.

Kiernan opened the program of the afternoon by thanking the ministers, newspaper people, the women of Somerset county and all others who had contributed to the success of these annual gatherings. She said: "The newspapers have not given sufficient notice to the Suffrage Traveling Man's Experience. I "In the summer of 1SS8 I had a very severe attack of cholera morbus. Two physicians worked over me from four a. m.
