Make Your Vote Count 
Be Out Yourself and Help Others Get Out 
T HERE is now going on a stirring 
attempt to rouse the women to use 
their right of franchise. It is a good 
action, and it is hoped that it will be far- 
reaching enough to take in the rural 
women, for they are a class of women that 
are wanted at the polls. Women have 
not been as active in voting as was ex¬ 
pected they would be, or as they should 
be. Of course, four years has been a 
short time in which to fully comprehend 
the reality of this privilege, its impor¬ 
tance, and how best to make use of it. 
If the importance of voting could be made 
plain enough, every good woman in the 
land would be at the polls in this fall 
election. It is going to be a critical, 
important election, an election when the 
people upholding the right principles will 
be needed there. 
Need for Voters to Appear 
There are certain types of politicians, 
and, sad to say, this kind is in the majority, 
who see to it that the women with lax 
principles are made aware of the value of 
their vote and the necessity of using it. 
So, thinking of it, it is plain that the 
good, moral women of the country must 
inform themselves on political questions 
and vote, as they see the right. 
We are not satisfied with the rottenness 
of politics. Such a state not only affects 
us in a general way, but in an intimate 
way. For it is an absolute truth that 
every office-holder without exception has 
a power over the community conditions 
in which our families have to live. The 
environments of our growing boys and 
girls are better or worse, according to the 
character of the men and women holding 
office throughout our country. Then 
why not take the trouble to familiarize 
ourselves with party platforms, characters 
of candidates, the principles candidates 
are upholding, and use the privilege we 
have to help the best to win out? 
It is easy to get a line on office-seekers 
living in your vicinity. About them with 
whom you cannot come in personal 
contact you must read and, perhaps, 
question. If uncertain about their stand 
on important issues, write to them, en¬ 
closing stamped, addressed envelop, put¬ 
ting direct questions requiring straight 
answers. Help also may be had from the 
League of Women Voters. In their 
literature this League does a great service 
for women, giving reliable gist of political 
issues, and being non-partisan, it treats 
the issues of all parties with the same 
fairness. 
Do Missionary Work 
Beside informing yourself, it would be a 
great thing to create interest. In groups 
of women friends, at your club, your 
Home Bureau, your Grange, turn the talk 
to politics, not by critical fault-finding, 
but by giving, and bringing out from 
others, instructive comment on principles 
and constructive uses of politics. Impress¬ 
ing at the same time the need of decent 
people in office and the value of a vote to 
help. Make it plain that it is not the 
point whether one approves of Woman 
Suffrage or not, whether one wants to 
bother with voting or not; the point is: 
now women have the vote, have the 
power to make conditions in the Nation 
better, it is their business, convenient or 
not, to do it. To do it, we have got to 
elect the best kind of people in our town, 
county, state and at the National Capital.

than for an outing at a distance. Coffee 
and pancakes cooked on* the spot make 
a supper that is as “filling” as is 
economical. 
If you send out written invitations in 
advance christen the party a Pancake 
Picnic. This will excite curiosity and 
will give an advance hint of the menu. 
One might use yellow wrapping paper 
for the “invites” cutting it to about the 
size and shape of a big flapjack. Write 
the invitation in rhyme, giving place, 
day and hour where the company are to 
meet. 
Following are the necessaries for the 
feast! 
A large crock of pancake batter. 
Frying pans for all. 
Butter, sugar, syrup, bacon. 
Tin cups, knives, forks, spoons. 
A large coffeepot, ground coffee and 
cream. 
For an evening frolic light the scene 
with Japanese lanterns, or pumpkin 
heads swung from the trees. Ask those 
who play stringed instruments to bring 
them, and sing the songs which everyone 
knows, in chorus, around the fire. 
Yours for Only Ten Cents 
T HE most fascinating style book 
you’ve ever published,” says Mrs. 
G. M. R., Jr., of Oswego Co., New York. 
We agree with Mrs. R., wh^ found in her 
copy of the new Fashion Catalogue 
“enough designs to keep me sewing all 
winter.” She completely outfitted her¬ 
self, a young high school sister, an eight- 
year-old daughter and a four-year-old son 
from its pages, and made her husband 
some shirts and pajamas too! 
You may not have as large a family to 
sew foras Mrs. R., but you have one person 
at least to please—yourself—and possibly 
others. Ten cents is a mighty small 
amount to pay for the smart style in¬ 
surance a book of American Agricul¬ 
turist designs will give you. Send five 
2c stamps and it goes by return mail.

A Pancake Picnic for Hallowe’en 
T HE jolliest picnic is not always the 
elaborate affair. A club or church 
society in search of a good plan for an 
outing in the afternoon might give a 
nutting picnic on the outskirts of the 
wood, adopting the pancake plan for 
refreshments. 
For these small gatherings, the “eats” 
can be much more simple and inexpensive
