The bonds, three hundred and thirty in all were signed by these officers and turned over to the Schuylkill Haven Trust Co. as trustee.

The signing of this number of bonds and placing the borough seal on each one of them consumed quite some time. The bonds measured 27 inches in length and were 17 inches wide. They were printed on heavy bond paper in two-colored ink. Attached to the bond itself were sixty coupons, each one for six months' interest, to be presented for payment by the holder every six months after the first day of February, 1921 until August 1, 1950.

m. they were about to board the ven o'clock train at Pottsville for Hazleton they were notified she had passed away. Deceased was in her forty-ninth year. She was a daughter of the late Justus Sherer. She spent her entire life in" this town and was well and favorably known by the entire community.

The news of her death was received here with a great deal of sorrow by her numerous friends who join with her family in mourning her demise. Reared in a Christian family, the teachings of her sainted father were faithfully followed and her attendance and activities the St. John's Reformed church were continued regularly. The deceased was of a kindlv disposition and made many friends. Despite various handicaps she raised a family of four children to maturity.

For years she was a patient sufferer with a goiter. It was for relief that she submitted to an operation Saturday morning. The goiter removed measured 22 inches in diameter and weighed two and one-half pounds. It was the largest ever taken from a patient at this hospital. These children survive: Mane, Julia, Frank and Earl.

The brothers surviving are Frank and Earl Sherer of Schuvlkill Haven. These sisters Mrs. Joseph Byerley, Misses Annie, Ella and Mary Sherer of Schuvlkill Haven, and Mrs. Robert Graeff of Lebanon. Her mother, Mrs.

Justus Sherer of town also survives. The funeral will take place on Saturday, afternoon at two o'clock with all services at the house. The Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution giving the right to vote to women has become a law by the ratification of woman suffrage in Tennessee. As a result just 26,883,566 women in the U. S.

are made eligible to vote in all elections. Sev. enteen million or more had already been entitled to vote for president under specific state laws. Seven million were already entitled to vote for members of Congress under State laws. The November presidential election will be the first opportunity given to all the women over 21 years of age to cast a ballot.

Their participation in the elections will it is said have a tremendous political effect. As there are about 1600 male voters in Schuylkill haven it is believed there will be an equal number of women voters eligible. The next procedure necessary will be for the County Commissioners to have the assessors visit every home and compile a list of the female portion of each household above the age of 21. These women will then be assessed and will be required to pay taxes to tne county so that with wrotmen becoming voters they also become taxpayers. Upon payment of the county tax the women will be qualified to appear at the polling places on one of the designated registration days this next fall and enroll.

They will thus fully qualify for the ballot. The tax to be imposed on women will not be heavy. Housewives will pay about 25c to 50c, approximately. Tht same as male laborers, stenographers, professional women, forewomen and other women whose incomes compare favorably with the incomes of men will have to pay a proportionately higher tax. The last primary election was possibly the last one at which men only were candidates for office.

In the future that will be entirely different and locally we can expect to have women candidates for such municipal offices as school director and coun-cilmen. As the local school board is to be increased from five to seven members it will not be surprising indeed to see one or two women directors elected. That this office more so than that of council will appeal to the women is not unlikely and we may exrpect to see a strenuous effort made by the lady folks to elect one or two of their number to the board of education at the very first opportunity.

The Dependable Stoie The special election held Tuesday for the increase of the indebtedness of this borough to an amount not to exceed $65,000 and as much of this sum as may be necessary, to improve the water system of Schuylkill Haven carried by a vote of 295 to 25. The surprise of the event was the very small number of ters who expressed their opinion and sentiment on the question. Of the ,1586 voters in the only 320 of them came out to vote. Of the 320 however the 295 was a majority sufficient to put the loan thru. In of the wards votes were cast against lire loan, as will be noted below.

The West ward" was the only ward that came thru clean on the proposition. The election, for the election board officers, was one of the easiest tasks these officers have had following an election for many a day. It required but a few minutes in each ward to tabulate the returns and complete the election return sheets to be forwarded to the county commissioners. From an average of five to ten minutes after seven o'clock the vote was posted at each one of the polling places. The hardest task for the officers was to remain on duty from seven to seven iwith so little work to do.

In the East ward building the officers procured a victrola and entertained themselves and perchance drew a few stray voters to the polls in this Throughout the day at each poll there did not seem to be any doubt as to the result of the election, although quite a number of voters asked for information on just what the election meant. When the point of more water was made clear to them it was generally conceded the voters voted "Yes." The North ward cast the largest number of votes agaiij6t he loan, there being fifteen of the 2 votes in the town cast in the negative in this ward. There was little or no electioneering done and the voters left to their own opinion in the matter regardless of whether they understood the matter or not and regardless of whether they had taken time to inform themselves on the subject thru the newspaper publicity given the subj. 1 for several weeks. Now that the borough council has been granted the privilege of increasing the indebtedness of the borough, the action along this line will be watched with keen "interest.

Not until the complete reports of the engineering firm are presented to council will any action be taken. Upon their reports will be determined the future course as to improvements. The total vote according to wards is given herewith. The figures in the first column are the number of voters in each ward eligible to vote. The figures in the second are the number of votes cast in favor of the loan and the last column the votes cast against the loan.

If the wet weather continues, one farmer in particular stated one-half of ins entire potato acreage would be a ioiai loss. Anotner cause for loss th.e potato growers is the result I the epidemic of late blight, which r.ac struck some sections. Fortunately we have not heard of the blight manifesting itself in the farming district this section. In other parts of tie state it has wrought considerable damage.

Damage is also likely to be suffered from the rain interspersed with hot spells in oats, and grain has also been badly damaged in many sections of the state. The principal loss is caused by the grain sprouting while it is in shock.

In the vacant lot on Berne street near Cadwell street the "Call" man this week found to his surprise pickles growing on a sweet apple tree. We had heard of apple dumplings growing on trees and watermelons on grape v'-es but pickles on apple trees was a one.

Had the writer not seen th; i pickles hanging from the tree, there would not have been this article for publication.
