tary OF the w. c. T. U. organization,
delivered an address in the
Methodist church at this place last
Sunday evening to a crowded house,
and it was one of the fnest-if not the
best-address of its kind that has
ever been delivered from Il Coopers-
town rostrum. It was historical and
intensely interesting and reviewed the
liquor traffic from 500 or more
years before Christ up to the present
day. Her word pictures were grand,
especially where she so grandly pic
tured the fall of Babylon as a result
of drinking too much OF the red, red
wine. She hit the national govern
ment q few hard and we'll deserved raps
for legalizing the sale of thu vile stuff
and spoke earnestly fer aD improved
moral standard for this greatest of all
countries. Her word pictures of the
evil of the rum traffic we're graphic
and solemn, and many dim eyes were
noticed in the congregation as she
eloquently showed up how many
happy homes had been desolat-
ed by this giant octopus-run. Mrs.
Rice is fine speaker and her Ian.

The Cooperstown people are indeed
fortunate in securing her for this ad.
