The petitions are to be distributed to the boys this afternoon between 2 and 3 o'clock by Mrs. er MacMillan. School teachers. also are taking an active part in getting the signatures for the equal suffrage petitions, to which it is expected to append the names of several hundred Hilo and Hawaii women.

Its hulk lies on the beach at Gloucester, N. near Fort Mercer.

The cannon is mounted on a carriage made from a rib of the Augusta. HUNS DISILLUSIONED AS TO DROP IN PRICES COBLENZ, Feb. 26-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-It will be many years before prices in the Rhineland will fall to a pre-war level, according to German economists, a view shared by officers of the Third Army of Occupation, who have been detailed to study the situation. Since the armistice was signed there has been a general increase in prices with but' few exceptions to show a downward trend. In certain classes of the population there was a hazy notion that a suden fall in the prices of all necessaries would take place at the end of the war.

It appeared to be based on nothing more than an impression that conditions in the coming peace time would be practically identical with those before the war, and buyerg of finished iron products such as machinery, hardware, field and garden implements and steel wire have not placed their orders. A consequence has been a hesitancy on the part of manufacturers to make the effort to reach their old marks of production, incidentally leaving unemployed thousands of discharged soldiers. Reasons given why lower prices are not to be expected are the increase in the cost of raw materials. the higher wagers demanded and the I eight hour day. Adanvances in the prices of coal, coke, steel, iron and lead were registered on the first of the year making it reasonably certain that still higher prices will be charged for finished products.

On account of the scarcity of coal many factories remain closed without sign of early reopening. BOLSHEVISM ENTERS MEXICO THROUGH U. S. MEXICO CITY, March literature is being distributed among Mexican laborers and labor leaders, it is said, are spreading the gospel by word of mouth. These propagandists, according to reports, base their arguments on literature that is being brought into Mexico from the United States by a Bolshevik agent, who is either Rus-4 gian or Austrian.

According to the Excelsior, the propaganda is being carried on se-! cretly but actively, and that within a short time the results will show. Several industrial disputes, the paper adds, were inspired by the sheviki. Recent reports from Vera Cruz say that two Bolshevik agents had landed there. Labor troubles in Tampico during the last year of the world war were blamed on I. W.

W. agents instigated by Germans. The principal union labor organizations of the country, the Confederation de Syndicatos Obreros del Distrito Federal, officially denies any Bolshevik affiliations or sympathies.

WOMEN ELIGIBLE TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT NOW TWELVE MILLION NEW YORK March 10-More I of than 12,000,000 women in the the United States over 21 years of age of are eligible to vote for the next pres- sion ident in 23 states where women may; ident vote, according to 'an estimation by Union Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president eral of the National Woman Suffrage AsMiss sociation and president of the International Suffrage Alliance. City, This estimate was given in a call Mrs. to the women voters of the United States.

to join forces with the National Ameriian Woman Suffrage at its Golden Jubilee Conven- the tion to be held in St. Louis, March 24-29. Fifty delegates from each voting state are invited to join the delegations at St. Louis from the 000,000 members of the National American, Woman Suffrage Association. "The National American Woman Suffrage Association has invited women voters to a National convention Tin order that they may "organize nationally and unite their forces with those of other lands," said Mrs.

Catt. "There is an obviously important national program for women voters. great diversity of laws which concern women and children in our several states is a continual menace to the safety and welfare of the unfortunate and uninformed. "The laws of the states could be unified and improvements added even in the states more liberal in their laws, if women voters would agree upon a proper constructive program. It is a fact so obvious that it needs no demonstration that if one section of the country is much behind the times in education and legal protection to women and children, its civilization is bound to prove a deterrent influence over the whole nation.

Therefore, it becomes the duty of all forward looking people to see that the laws of the whole nation are unified and that the standard by which to measure the proper program for each state is the code of laws of the most advanced states. "Women voters should contribute more to their nation and to the world than they do when acting from a localized viewpoint. 'Those who' live in the valley do not know what is to be seen from the mountain The opportunity to climb the mountain and to view all humanity in its struggle upward toward permanent. democratic institutions and consequent permanent peace is here. The opportunity to extend a helping hand to those who are likely to find the path rough and thorny is here.

The woman voter with the vision cf coming freedom for the race in her soul will not hesitate to offer her service," contined Mrs. Catt. The biggest Bureau of Suffrage Propaganda in the world has been organized by Mrs. Catt with funds she was -bequeathed by Mrs. Frank Leslie, widow of a widely known editor and publisher.

When Mrs. Leslie died a few years ago she left the bulk of her fortune to Mrs. Catt to be used for the advancement of the suffrage cause. The actual figures are in the neighborhood of $750,000. Mrs.

Catt, who has. an abiding faith that the only reason anybody opposes, woman suffrage is because of lack of knowledge of its fundamental significance, decided that the The Best Advertisement In the World IS THE TICK OF THE CLOCK. It says only one, short word, but it says that word over and over. Here the tick is loud, there low. But always millions on millions of clocks are saying it.

It never stops. It speaks to a baby's ears, and to the dying hours of an old man. It speaks in time of joy; in time of grief; in time of idleness, or struggle and stress; in time of peace, or time of WAR It never stops. Always it is telling the old, old story of the clock, "Time Flies." Always it is repeating the stern lesson of life, "The World Forgets." It never stops. And it has made the clock the best known thing in all the world.

Such is the power of reiteration. Such is the power of persistence. Such is the power of constancy. Call the advertising roll. of honor, the world-famous advertising, alive to answer.

None ever stopped. Ail have told their story over and over, and still are telling it. Advertising stopped is advertising dead. Advertising brought back from the grave must foot again the long, old road from the very beginning. NOW is the time to advertise-the only time.

Advertise to-morrow when to-morrow is NOW. Listen to THE TICK of the clock, as it tells you: "Trine flies. The world forgets." NOW is the time to advertise. ROBERT E. RINEHART.
