GUILDERLAND MUTUAL PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION MEETS

Meeting Held at Sturges’ Hall, Altamont, on Monday Evening — Annual Meeting Will be Held at McKownville, Tuesday, Oct. 19.

This association has now been in successful operation for several months and has been of considerable benefit to the members. Recently Arthur Rapp of Guilderland, a member of the association, had two rubber horse blankets stolen from his premises. Mr. Rapp immediately notified Frank Case, the president, of his loss and a detective was put to work on the case. The person who stole the blankets evidently became alarmed by the vigilance of the association and after a few days had passed the blankets were returned to Guilderland Centre one evening. The following morning they were found on the platform of the West Shore depot. Mr. Rapp is loud in his praises of the work done by the Guilderland Mutual Protective Association.

SUFFRAGISTS HOLD TWO MEETINGS IN ALTAMONT

Altamont women are still in the line of march. No one ever knew them to fall behind. And they are proving the progressive spirit which is theirs by the cordiality and enthusiasm with which they are lending aid to the last long pull for the passage of the woman suffrage amendment to the New York state constitution at the election this fall.

A meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Fred Keenholts Monday afternoon to form a committee to do active work in calling the amendment to the attention of the voters. About fifteen women responded to the call for the meeting. Mrs. Jeannette Sterling Greve, of New York, a member of the press department of the Empire State Campaign Committee, was present and spoke on the need of workers for the cause. If every woman who is convinced of the right and justice of the enfranchisement of women, Mrs. Greve said, would do what she could to speak to the voters she knows, the amendment would be sure to carry because the majority of men are favorable to the movement and are only waiting to be assured that the women themselves are asking for it.

In His Line.

“Warden, I’d like to have desk work. I’m used to that.”

“What are you here for?”

“I’m a forger.”

“Um! I have no room on the clerical force. Still, I like to accommodate a man with work at his own particular trade. How would you like to forge chains in the blacksmith shop?” — Louisville Courier-Journal
