Still Deadlocked in Soldier Vote

WASHINGTON <U.PJ—Chances for enactment of i i e w federal soldier vote legislation appeared to be vir­tually nil today.

After each new meeting of the Senate-House conference on the measure, members indicate an in­creasing weariness with the whole Issue.

The conferees broke up yesterday for the weekend. In the words of Chairman Theodore Francis Green (D-R. I.) of the Senate privileges and elections committee, conferees will "retire and pray for guidance" on the future course of their de ­liberations, which by now have com­prised seven . meetings and are stretching into their third week.

Latest proposal which, the con­ferees will consider would provide a federal war ballot for all soldiers who had applied for a state ab­sentee ballot and had not received 'it by October 1—providing their states had agreed to accept the fed­eral ballot.

The estate, consisting principally day. are: Western ward M b , J lf insurance.'Is listed at $4,500 per-Ball; Center ward, Mrs O.

SO M E T I M E S you dream . . . you young women who have given the men you love to

the service of your country,- who have put aside your hopes for happiness, who are doing with­out so many of the things that make a joy of living.

Sometimes you dream of the wonderful day when the war will be over, and peace will return, and he will come back to you . . . when life will begin all over again.

N o w , even while the time of sacrifice has not ended, while hardships still lie ahead . . . we here at your family store say to you: Go on dreaming! Hold fast to your dream! Keep it clear and bright, no matter how dark the days m a y s e e m I F o r dreamt do come true.

Believe now that your dream will come true . . . will change into a wonderful and beautiful reality . . . and that the day of its fulfillment is nearer . . . the day when he will come back . . . when you and he will be together in the home you want for him, with all the things about you that you've so sorely missed . . . the things that are the very heart of happiness.

On that wonderful day, one of your most joyous hours will be preparing his first dinner in your own home . . . the hour when he and you will be together in your modern electric kitchen, all shining with its ncw appliances that will save you so much work and precious time. And he'll stand beside vou when the door of youT ncw electric refrigerator . ' . . your Ixonard Refriger­

ator of tomorrow . . . swings open at your touch. And you'll show him, there on the sparkling shelves, the treasure of beautiful, appetizing American food you've stored up for his delight-

Keep on dreaming that dream ofhim and ytm at your own table, symbol of all the peace and plenty, the quiet lasting happiness you two hare helped bring bade, that shall not ever be taken away again.

Until that day comes, for the things you must htiir now, come to J. X. Adam's. Day after day n-e search the markets of the country for the best merchandise that can be found, to meet your wartime needs.
