AT the Parish Courthouse last Tues
day Miss Belle Kearney addressed a
large audience upon her favorite themes
temperance and prohibition. Miss X.
has a national reputation and n that
she richly deserves. After the lecture,
a Y. W. C. T. U. was organized in lieu
of the disbanded w. c. T. U. (Names
of officers elected appear in our local
columns.-Eds. Courier.)
Miss Kearney's talk to the public
school children on Wednesday after
noon was, if possible, more interesting
than the lecture of the evening previous.
Her earnest words and telling expert
ments impressed the lesson of alcohois
deleterious effects upon the human sys-
tenn, and more than eighty children sig
nifed their willingness to form a Loyal
Temperance Legion to study scientific
ally the nature and effects of this mon
ster evil and all narcotics. They are
not asked to sign a temperance pledge
or allowed to do so without the consent
of parents. Miss Birdie Harmanson was
chosen leader. The L. T. L. will hold
it's meetings at the school building at
$3.50 every Tuesday afternoon.
After dismissing the little people Miss
Harmanson called the Us to order. A
good deal of business, including the ap-
pointment of committees to arrange for
a Demorest contest, q parlor meeting, a
Gospel Temperance meeting, was trans
acted, Miss Kearney aiding all through
by kindly advice, suggestion and q
couragement. 1t was decided to hold
the meetings on Tuesday afternoon i'm
mediately after the L. T. L.
The Us adjourned feeling very earn

work actively For God and Home and
