which might lie introduced in the
county conventions.
The resolutions suggested take
cognizance ot the fact that a great
many voters in each election ytai
have to make their mark in e^iroll
ing on the club hooks. They also
urge that each st-hoo! district in
crease its school tax. The following
are the re-olutions sent by Superin

chairmen, as suggested resolutions
for the conventions next Monday:
“Whereas, education is the best
safeguard land thosurest guarantee
of Democratic government and Amcr
Scan institutions: and
"Whereas, the rules of the Demo
cratic party and the law of the stale
require that signing of the elttb
rolls by each voter in order to saf< -
gnard and protect the | rimary: and
“Whereas, too large a percentage
of these signatures in 1914 and again
in I!'lt> were markeu with a cross,
tin reby indicating a lack of founda
tion training among tlm voters, as
well :if fuin'ame”tal •>.••-akness and
ueglei t in our public school system,
conditions which ought not to have
existed and which can and should he
remedied:
"Now. theretorn, be it resolved
by the Denioeratic convention of
this county.
"First, that every w-ilte Democrat
-.hould be able to write bis own name
on the roll of his local club in order
that the muiumum v.nn her of signa
'.tires may have to lie signed other
wise. Every veter unable to sign
In's own name and read his own bal
lot ought to be given an opportuuit «-
to learn how to read and write be
fore 'he end of 1920.
“Second, that the public school
improvement of re-cent >ears needs to
be strengthened by the immediate
adoption of an aggressive and pro
gressive policy of free*, universal, ado
quale education.
“Third, that every school district j
is hereby urged to increase its local j
school tax or to vote sue It a tax at
once. The state should provide more!

JAPANESE WOMEN ARE
GOOD IN BUSINESS
In Japan, cases of women sue
eessLully conducting business are
not rare. The head cf th e Owarlya
Bank, one of the most successful
banking enterprises, was a woman
who died leaving a large fortune to
Hie cause ol female education. The
great Suzuki firm, which has a
branch in Seoul, is likewise headed
by u woman. In Seoul, itself, the
Keijo Printing House and the TTrao
Hotel are good examples of what wo
men can do. While Japanese wo-
j men are entrusted by their husbands
with the complete management Yf the
household affairs, the Korean woman
generally looks to her spouse to II

A SPRING TALK
TO THE CRITICAL AUTOlST
OilciT automobile springs never
squeak, seldom break, and always
make the car ride easier. They
smooth the rough spots out of the
road. They save the car becaiitte
they stop the damaging, smashing
jolts.
For the same reason they savO
tires.
Rust ruins springs. it is the
ciuse of nearly all spring trou
bles.
The reason is simple. It is sur
prising that all car owners do not
know it.
Tlte leaves of pour springs beat-
one upon another. The slightest
unevenness in the road compress
es them. As the springs compress
the leaves must bend.
This bending Cause friction—i
produces a bearing that needs oi
as much as any other bearing on
vour car.
The eonslission absorbed by
springs is terrific.
Now see how rust dogs their uc
lion. A tiny bit of moisture be
tween the leaves will start rust
forming.
One" started, it will continue to
form until it binds the leaves to
gettup- in one solid mass. Their
resiliency is gone. They are stiff
and unyielding.
You feel every rough spot in
the road. Car and tires are dam
aged.
And (here Is constant squeak
ing
WE HAVE SPECIAL COMPRESS
ED AIR APPARATUS TO OIL
YOUR SPRINGS WHILE YOU
WAIT. TRY IT.

Some trees, some shrubs, some flowers* a bright bit of earth somewhere*
