O. Preus of Minnesota, has given such added velocity to the stormf which has arisen here over the confinement of seven women and five men for two days and two nights that it was freely predicated today that there win bo no more mixed Juries in this county. To this extent, therefore the fight of women's organization for an absolutely equality of rights with men has received a decided setback. The privileges of citizenship repre. sented by prolonged Jury duty have outraged the feeling of seven St.

Paul householders and sown the seeds for an organized movement against sonie of the outcroppihgs of universal suffrage." 1 The Jury of seven women and five men, selected to sit in Judgment ia the case of the state against George Theamke, charged with stealing aa automobile was "hung up" for two days and two nights before verdict of guilty was returned. No sooner had th Jury been discharged with the. usual thanks by Judge F. M. Cattlin than a great hue- and cry test definitely state that it must be one of the old-time Mr.

Sikes wants to discuss this one: "Which section of Goose Creek has produced tiie most; great mAi," but Mr. Love is to hitch his star to the "Works Nature, and the Art of Man," while Mr. W. 0. Lemmond contends that the most important one at all is.

"Which is the more benificent the Sun or the Moon?" R. W. Lemmond hasn't yet made his preference known. In addition to what is to be the most renowned debate in the annals of his. tory, a good supper and excellent male quartet music be served hot, as will be the speeches of the orators for Theiwent up.

FOR-. A FJiAPPER TO FLAP? lopeka Says $87 Per Year Is Enough For Her to Flap On Chicago Says It Takes $117.70 Chicago, March 6. How much is enough to keep the sweet young flapper flapping? This was the question which representatives of several civic organizations set out to answer following publication of advices trom Topeka that testimony before the Kansas industrial court had fixed the amount at $87 per annum. The answer as determined for Chi cago was $117.70 with reservations. "I do think she can dress well, perhaps even smartly on $117 a year," said the head of the woman's apparel division of a department store.

"But she must have good taste, practice self-denial and steer away from the impractical garments." The accented budsret of the outlay for the wardrobe contained, amonj other things one suit at $20; two pairs of shoe, $12; live pairs ef hose, aBr two bats, $10.

Where the kick comes from-the kick that is so pronounced in what passes for wnisitey, is snown a letter received this week by Prohibition Director Kohnloss from one of his officers. The name of the officer. and the location of the plant is not given; but two paragraphs of the Officer's letter are given to the newspapers. They follow; The still was located, near the top of a high mountain, and it was impossible for us to eet into it un- watchers were stationed.

"There was a batch of manure from a. hog pen by the side of the distillery, and the operators were using this in the beer- The odor given off from the condenser, was naus eating, smelling worse than a pig pen in hot weather.

It is a part of human nature for the minds of old people to turn back to their childhood days and reflect upon, things that took, place in the long ago and to remember and think ahon tthose they knew "in, bygone yearsJt.is also interesting to tie younger generations to know something of men and women wo lived in another age and 'to learn who they married. A large per cent tLe citizens of Union county cannot tell who a great many of lady friends were before marriage.

In view of these considerations, Journal has looked up the marriage certificates of Union county people whose marriage licenses are registered in this ounty and the first installment giving the name of bride 'and groom, date of marriage' and by whom married, appears in this column, the registration beginning with 1851. y. j3larriage8 in 1851 4 May Andrew J.

In consequence, a notice that la assured the support of most of the married male papulation, and a few ot the promised in marriage, as well, has been -unofficially, but none the less firmly, served to. the effect that there will be more of that sort of thing in these parts.

Tells Court His Feelings One ot the irate husbands so vehemently outlined to Judge Cattlin his position as a citizen and a taxpayer that he narrowly escaped cia- 2 5 Lant Lhe. Jesty of the the indignant spouse made full use of his unex- purgated vocabulary, and declared that neither his wife? nor himself would ever serve on a jury, let the' penalty be what it would. "Never have I been thus spoken to in my official capacity," said Judge Cattlin today, ''but I was convinced that under the clrcumstanpes the man was not responsible, and I allowed him to get with it. I believe it did him good." Jf Five of the husbands went after Sheriff John Wagner and informed him that hereafter he need waste no1 time with' Jury summons" for them. The "shocking" details are Just coming to light, said Mrs.

Josephine Brown: "When they put us into Jail the first night we just sat around on the edges of the beds and talked about the cases until we were nearly dead. Then, some one mentioned going to bed. I am sure it was a man. "It really was" rather funny. The men withdrew to a corner where they sat facing the wall.

We took the sheets oft-the bed and tried tn vain to make screens out of them. Then we crawled in and prentended 'to sleep! hd, "'U-D i telke n'ght.
