TEMPERANCE ADVOCATES.
An Interesting and Profitable
Meeting
From Fridays Daily.l

The members Of the county W. Y.
I. U. met in convention at the
Presbyterian church yesterday after
noon. The first exercise was a
paper on Foreign Mission Work."
by Miss Rose Mortified, which was
followed by discussions on various
subjects. The need Of more young
people in the work was especially
urged as the mothers meetings now
held were generally grandmothers'
meetings.
After the reports of the local Presl-
dents and several committees the
meeting was adjourned until :
o'clock.
After the devotional services at
500 O'Clock followed a solo by Mrs.
Prather. The brief but pointed adj
dress OF welcome by Mrs. Gray was
responded to by Miss Strickler OF
Chapman. Mrs. Rastall Of Chicago
was then presented and delivered a
lecture on "A National Laundry"
She briefly traced the history OF the
W. G. L. U. from its beginning in
Ohio to the present time. They used
to say it meant, washing Contracts
Taken Internationally and this she
says is the literal meaning today.
The picture she drew Of the degraded
condition Of the slums Of the cities
was very vivid and striking COMPARE
sons were given Of the sum annuity
spent for whisky and tobacco ana
that spent for hour ior the ha'ion'
She laid the blame on the shoulders
Of Uncle Sam for tolerating these con-
ditions simply on account OF revenue
The defeat Of women's suffrage in
Kansas last fall she argued was not a
source Of Encouragement to the
women as recent municipal elections
show increase in their vote. Mrs. kas'
tall is an enthusiastic suffragist anC
predicts great reforms when womer
are given the ballot. She is q grea'
enthusiast in that direction. After
number OF suggestions in the way o
training the children she concluded
her address by an earnest appeal FOL
more workers in the "nationa
laundry"
FRIDAY
The morning session was devote'
largely to the subject OF narcotic
and stimulants in the public schools
An excellent paper on "Scicntiil
Temperance Instruction was read b
Mrs. Lank. Supt. shirk then gave
short address on the work in the dis
trict schools. 1t seems that IN
teachers are not doing all that is eS
pected Of them in that line and tn
ladies are going to insist that the in
struction in the evil effects Of stimu
lants and narcotics be given to al
pupils in the schools, as the law pro
vides.
Questions in the query box wer
then answered and the meeting re
solved into prayer service unit

IRRIGATION ON THE uPLANDs,
What Il Being Accomplished in
North and Northwest Dickinson.

NORM anu N0rtnWost Ulcklhs0n'
For the Reflector.
1t Is q matter Of encouragement
and congratulation that our farmers
are waking up to the value and
necessity Of irrigation.
We have Just completed levels and
profile for q plant on the old Capt
Reagan farm in the edge Of Clay
county now owned by Thos. Nieol'
Of Manchester. Mr.. Nicol has a No.
5 Link-Belt Elevator with registered
capacity Of 700 gallons per minute
has 27 feet perpendicular lit from
surface and gets his water supply
from Chapman creek out Of natural
reservoir over one mile In length and
containing 100000 gallons at low
tide.
Mr. Nicol will irrigate 20 acres
this season and increase the area
next year. lie will give his fields a
thorough wetting before seeding
The plant will be under the man
ayement Of the son, 7. W. Nicol, a
stalwart young farmer, provided win
reserve fund OF common sense and
energy, and one Of the few graduates
Of the Kansas State Agricultural
college who have smothered their am
bition to become president or U. 5.
! senator, and will stick to the farm
and make a practical use OF the valu-
able information received at that ex-
cellent institution.
1t may seem in bad form to write
on irrigation when the clouds are
pouring down rain but those OF us
who have lived in Kansas score OF
wears know that 1t is not always safe
TO trust to rainfall for suillclency
Of moisture at the critical period.
We deem it eminently proper and
| in GOOD form to consider for q mom-
ent the amount Of food product grown
| in other states and consumed in Dick
insou county.
Take the single article of potatoes
BY diligent inquiry among shippers
aud groccrs we learn that the amount
of potatoes shipped from Colorado

than 100 carloads, Of 100 bushels

Monday evening, the coolest of all,
Rack &Jones' clerks and few friends
packed themselves into a bob and
made several calls on country acquaint-
ances east of the city, under the pilot
age of Charles Goetsch. The incessan Mt
ringing of numerous bells attached 10
the rig attracted more than ordinary
attention. The party was royalty treat
