 The w. 0. T. U. of South Coventry appeals to all the women of this town to unite with them in prayer to Him "who maketh the devices of the wick ed to none effect," that their husbands, sons and brothers may not vote to bring the curse of license upon this town. God is calling upon the women here and throughout the land to rise up in their might and say we will not have the accursed thing among us. Greed and lust want the saloon. God, righteousness, and humanity do not want it. F. M. QUICK.
