A communication from the State

ular of W. G.. T. Z. lecturers, will
come to Redwood Falls some time in
September. Mrs. Bullock took
Minneapolis by storm last fall, in a
week of public work following the
National convention. The city press
was unanimous in praise of her
splendid abilities as a platform
speaker, her winsome personality,
and her earnest enthusiasm. Mrs.
Bullock will be accompanied by her
daughter, who is singer and elo-
cutionist Of growing note.
A membership contest, led by
Mrs. Goodacre and Mrs. Tiffany,
limited to the time of the State con-
vention, promises to be of consider
able interest.
Annual reports of superintend-
ents show good work done along the
many lines of work. The superin-
tendent of local Jail work reported
that the inmates of every jail need a
friend. Do you ask why? The
answer is, many of them have never
frequented places where the gospel
of Christ is lived and taught. A
large majority of them have drifted
into the saloon and other haunts of
vice, and been associated with a
class who shun the good and love
evil. Confined behind the prison
bars many are compelled to do some
good hard thinking for the first time
in their lives, and with clearer
brains and an instructive longing for
a true friend which lies deep in the
heart of every man, many are ready
to receive helpful truth and friendly
council. We hold evangelistic SER
vices in the Jail every Sunday after
noon. AS we present to them the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, the men are
led to think better thoughts, and in
many cases resolve to lead honest if
not Christian lives in the future.
But for some helping hand they
must 60 forth from these prison
walls only to sink lower than ever.
Eight inmates of our county jail
have signed the total abstinence
pledge during the past year. Many
have given their promise to lead
better lives and one has become an
earnest Christian.
We aim to keep the prisoners sup
piled with good reading matter. A
prison library is greatly needed and
we think that every W. G. T. U. in
the county should be interested in
securing one.
There is a great demand for good
reading matter among the R. R.
crews now working in the county.
Mrs. Woodwork will be glad to re-
ceive and forward good papers,
magazines and books for this pur-
pose.

The new president is not likely to
give himself airs He has no taste
for official grandeur and is a quiet,
homely, obliging, intelligent body and
was a provincial advocate. AS to be-
ing tres gentleman, the notion has
never entered his head. The worst
thing in his record is having tried to
shelter the Panamists of Parliament
and trailed Cornelius Herr like red
herring across the scent of their pur-
suers. But he is personally honest,
is not rich. and until he went as
Speaker of the Senate TO the Petit
Luxembourg lived in a plainly fur
