Montana went Democratic in Tuesday's election, gave President Wilson approximately 81,000 votes and! Hughes only 55,000, and elected one Democratic congressman; but though Miss Jeanette Rankin, who worked and studied for several years in this I city, ran on the Republican ticket in Montana, the State elected her to i be the first woman ever to sit in con-: gress. Since the late returns have shown! definitely that Miss Rankin was elect-, ed telegrams of congratulations have ! been sent to her from women in this: and every other section of the coun-i try until, according to reports from: her home town, Missoula, she has; been deluged with them. Miss Rankin announces in reply that she will represent all of the women of the country and not only those of her own State. Although Miss Rankin spent several years in New York city, it ap pears that she was comparatively lit- i tie known here, and many women J who have been active in suffrage work in this city for years have,1 been asking during the past few days j what the "Lady from Montana" is like, how old she is, how she lives, and what she looks like. The fact that she was so little known in New York is probably explained in the description of her characteristics given by the few perK sons who could be found here who had known her personally while she1 was in this city. According to them,i - - . . Miss Jeanette KanKin is one or me, most modest type personally, and \ if one will not talk suffrage or some! other problem in which she is inter- j ested, she will not talk of it herself.; When she began to study public j speaking, according to her former j teacher in this subject, who is now J living here, Miss Rankin was really | i r Starx_ DDY CAN . ships for your family and you WHAT 2c CLUB 5c CL PAYMENTS PAYMEX t Week 2c 1st Week . id Week .. .. 4c 2nd Week d Week .. .. 6c 3rd Week. .Teas?

She is about 34 years old and is about five feet four inches in height, slendor, with light brown hair?not i red, her friends insist?and has an t unusual store of energy. She is the daughter of one of the best known of the Montana pioneers, who went West j when the State was so sparsely set-1 tied that it resembled a wilderness, and she and her three sisters have learned to "rough it" in the big western State She was graduated at the University of Montana, became an ardent suffragist while a girl and went to Seattle to study voice culture, and then to New York city to take a course at the School of Philanthropy in this city. Miss Rankin was among the early and most ardent workers for suffrage j in the West before any States had! granted women the vote, it was said, and fought actively for amendments in Washington and California. In these campaigns, it is said, she went into mines and to farms to argue personally with men and women to induce them to fight for suffrage. She obtained a place as a field secretary of the National American Woman Suffrage association after leaving New York city and went to Florida to establish suffrage organizations there. Then the campaign for woman suffrage in her home State was taken up and she resigned as field secretary of the national body to be- J gin campaigning at home. She is credited with having done more perhaps than any other woman in the State to obtain suffrage for the women of Montana. Then after a hard fight she was nominated to congress by an overwhelming vote in the primaries, and between the primaries and election day, it is reported, she had to fight some of the old guard republican leaders in her own State as well as the Democrats. She did a large part of her campaigning im 111 ii #^^^SHHWB8jcS JOIN?Men and i friends.

On election day her friends telephoned to practically everybody in the State who had a telephone, according to reports received here, and greeted whoever answered the telephone with a cheary: "Good morning? Have you voted for Jeanette Rankin?" "Miss Rankin is a very feminine woman," one young woman who had known her here and who is now a reporter on a New York evening paper said yesterday. "She dances well and makes her own hats, and sews, and has won genuine fame among her friends with the wonderful lemon meringue pie that she makes when she hasn't enough other things to do to keep her busy. "She is the sort of girl who won't stop until she has got the results she is after, and it will be lots of fun to see her in her first fight in congress. She is this ort: Her father was trying to rent one of his houses in Missoula, Mont., and there wasn't any sidewalk in front of it. A prospective tenant was found, but the tenant said he wouldn't tak,e the house unless it had a sidewalk. Jeanette called up some carpenters and found them too busy to lay the sidewalk. And so she bought the lumber, bor rowed a hammer and saw, and laid the sidewalk herself." Among the things which Miss Rankin has announced that she will fight for in congress is extension of the child labor laws?she intends to represent children as well as women in congress?national woman suffrage, mothers' pensions, universal compulsory education, and similar propositions. It is expected that she will introduce a new national suffrage bill as soon as she has the opportunity.?New York Times. gjjM PLA The Plan is Simple: 1 increase your deposit the sa tain amount, 50c, $1.00, $5.0< week. i I Look at the different CI the lc, 2c, 5c, 10c, 50c, $1.0C with the first weekly pavm you a Christmas Banking C Women, Boys anc jyer can take out membership! - m I IRq WILL PA 50C CLUB $1.

' IAS BANKING C iberff, S. What Is An Add. ' The difference between an adver-1 tisement and a news item is often so; | slight as to puzzle the most experi- j i enced and discriminating publisher, j I That is, some advertisements and | some news items. There are news items that have much advertising value for individ-! uals, and there are advertising items : that are of much news value to the public. As a matter of fact advertising is j news, while the proportion of news that is advertising in the sense that j it is of commercial value to individ-! uals, is considerably smaller. Country newspapers derive their support from subscriptions and ad-j vertising. As to who should pay sub- j scriptions does not involve a great j deal of embarrassment, although | there are some advertisers who think \ they are entitled to free subscriptions i because of their advertisements, j Other people think it is incumbent | on the publisher to donate subscrip-| tions to public school libraries and j charitable institutions of all kinds. Some publishers think differently. Ordinarily there is not much trouble in deciding what advertisements 1 should be paid for and what adver- 1 tisements should be published free; 1 but occasionally it is a source of em- : barrassment. This is especially true J when the would-be-advertiser has not had sumcieni experience m sucn matters to be able to grasp the business side of the question. I One of the biggest newspapers in j the country, the Cincinnati Enquirer, vertisements free of cost, and another publishes all "situation wanted" adof the biggest newspapers in the country, the New York Herald, gets i more revenue from advertising of 1 this kind than from any other single < source. 1 It is common for opposition news- i * gUB JB -| mt, lc, 2c, 5c, or 10c, and 'ou can begin with a certhe same amount each % ' A ' the one you wish to join, then come to our Bank nber of the Club and give ou have joined. / -Vi A-T* Iren, The Baby * Ve will welcome everyone. 39 -vt: IB X CLUB | i -00 M j.00 am ??? 0mm >.00 94- 9-3' 9** ery _ ^ ? $10 ks ) Or Any Amount ACH WEEK 1 parents to do is to join our tnd also put every member f money and how to bank lem now may some day set aught you early the value Don't make the same mis:lub ===== I C.. mi ' M 335^5333^3333335533553^5'* - "v^P papers to offer to do free advertising that the papers they oppose charge for, in order to create the impression that the opposing paper is imposing, and that they are more generous. As a general business rule newspapers should require pay for all announcements of entertainments, institutions, gatherings, etc., that have the raising of money as one of their. objects; wnetner tne money reaiure be the main purpose or only incidental. But the fact that there is no money feature attached does not put obligation on the publisher, who in all cases has the right to inquire, "Who has the greatest personal interest in this thing, the promoters, the publishers or the public?" It is a fact that it is not especially becoming on the part of the pub lisher to quarrel with the public over what should be free and what should be paid for, nor is it any more becoming on the part of the public. The proposition is one to be settled by business rules, the violation of which by the publisher means injury to himself rather than the public.?
