Mr. Cobb Discusses Suffrage lrvin S. Cobb, the well knjwn writer and war correspondent, while here yc terday told why he hail come back from j the European war a suffragist. " For years," saad Mr. Cobb, "1 ha 1 ! always -a. 1 there was uo reasjn why women should want the vote, but if thev did want it. I did not see any good rea-on why they shouldn't get it., As a result of my experiences in the Eu ropean war zone, however, 1 have dis covered abundant reason* why women should have the vote. ' The biggest argument for suffrage. I saw was d in in Southern France where some men were trying to clean out a hospital. Whenever 1 see a man try to handle a broom I realize his lim itations. But the women —well, they were marvellous. They did all -ms of unpleasant labor a j >ou t the hospital and were so skilful and deft about it. From pheasant women to the ladies of the aristocracy—all helped. "In the tinal analysis. the burden of war always falls on the women. It is thev who carry the cross and it is on'v just that they "hould have seme voice in the government which declares a war in which they are the real sufferers. "In maedevial times men believed that all ;i .v. man was good for was to 1 bear children. so they shut their wom en up in fortresses while they went off to tight. Bat to-day we are learning that women are of ether use in the world asi-te from being mothers, an.l we are also learning tlvat the average worn-' an is just us intelligent as the average man—possibly a little more so." Asked if he thought whether wars wouid cease if women were given uni versal suffrage, Mr. Cobb smiled and said: "I believe that countries governed:; by the ballot would be a little slower to go ;n war if women had a vote." In conclusion Mr. Cobb said: "There are too many people in this 1 country voting now—and not enough. There should be a literacy and pn>;er tv test which should bar from the polls ' the unthinking an i ignorant and admit ' _ I PlX^> u re Sure^^w JBk *" e * he 6 |SFImX Pure Malt Whiskey \ j you are carf f u | to observe the following three That the neck strap over the cork i« unbroken. \ Th>t our name and monogram are blawn in the bottle. ■ That the label bear* our trade-mark of the "Old 1 E®McylsCj Chemist," and ugnatnre of the Company. 1 Hjfi ivA F° r more than 50 years Duffy's has been before the I rTyiT,'. iVjA.fc.B "«j public and today enjoys a very favorable reputation; 1 I' -ll*■|Bri| in fact so favorable that unscrupulous dealers go to I HgLvlw.isi VMM the trouble of imitating the bottle and contents.

"GOD'S LOVE" IS THEME OF EVANGELIST MILLER Many Requests for Prayer Feature Services at the Mechauicsburg Tab ernacle Last Night—Thirty Per sons Hit the Trail l Mechauicsburg, Jan. '29. "Mv son. ' "my neighbor," "my brother" [ —os came the requests tor prayer, 1 dozens of them, from all over the tab- I ernaele last night .just before Kvangel . ist Miller began to preach on -'Cod's Love. One request was for ''a fa ther. two brothers and the Fifth Wheel j boys." Then every CHristian bowed j his head and praye for all these, with I the evangelist leading. Then came the j sermon on the text, "Thy love to me | was wonderful," 2 Sum. 1:26. By one ; : illustration and figure after another the ; evangelist forced upon his congregation the conviction of tile wonderful love o» the pure God of love, who loved us to the extent that He gave His only begotten Son that we might not piflish, | nliose love reaches to the uttermost. | Before the sermon the great congre ' gat ion had seen "Simply to Thy Cross il Cling" pictured, us in the darkness 1 j .i girl was seen clinging to the cross, 1 during the singing of " Rock of Ages" |ln the choir. The cross hung suspeud -1 ! ed in the rear of the platform through ! | out the service and over and over ' i again, as the evangelist told of the ' height and the depth and the length and the breadth of the love of Christ. ' he turned to the cross. He told of an explorer in the deep seas who took > soundings again and again, each time with a longer line, and each time re -1 i corded "Deeper than this," and then he pictured the awful depths of sin, ! quoting the lines: I''To all depths ot sin and loss ■ Drops the plummet of Thy cross. ' ' Never yet abyss was found Deeper than that cross could sound. ' j illaudkerc'hiets came into play as he ■ | told many a touehiug story of mother i | love, and after each he told of the ' love of Him who will never forget, though a mother may forget her child. ' Mr. Miller was more dramatic than in 1 any previous sermon in this place. As he told of the Son of Cod staggering and falling under the weight of the ' cross He bore for us, the evangelist staggered across the platform, finally ' falling to the door, it was dramatic, but no one thought of it as dramatic. It oulv made more, intense the picture ' of the'love of .lesus. which the burning words preceding had brought before the • uiinds of all. saved and unsaved. And i when the evangelist called, "Can you ! withstand His love? Come!" they I came. First to come was Mr. Jenkins, the ! janitor of the taiberna.de. whose wife was among the converts of the nigat before. He is the fourth man to be | converted among those active in the work of the campaign. I From the crowd standing at one of the rear doors one young man emerged j and walked alone down the long aisle | to clasp the evangelist 's hand at the I front. There were thirty in all. Most j of the number were young men, one or • | two were gray haired men. One of the ; latter, a member of the choir, was led ' ! down from the choir platform by a lit ' ; tie bov who accepted Christ last week. ' i There were two visiting delegations, I a large one from Shepherdstown, and ' a gmaljer one from Lucknow. The Shop " | herdstown party brought a basket of { beautiful apples for the evangelistic ■ j party. The Rev. A. B. Mower, of the | Shepherdstown U. B. church, made the ' j opening prayer. The men's chorus sang ' ' " De Brewer's Bii.' Hosses." ' l Yesterday was Farmers' Day at the • ; tabernacle. The morning prayer tneet [ ' ings were held as nsual throughout the town at 9.30. Then at 10.30 came a • | song service in the tabernacle in charge • j of Prof. Hohgatt. Following this, Dr. ' - 11. A. Surface, State Economic Zoolog " ist, gave an abK> address on "God's j Law and the Farmers' Faith." At noon > \ everybody enjoyed a picnic dinner, i ; with tables set in the aisles. Coffee was prepared by the women's luncheon com mittee at Mrs. H. A. Baum's home and 1 served free to all.
