Report of Annual Convention.

Report of Annual Convention.
The twenty-ffth annual conven-
ton of the w. G. T. u, which
met in Minneapolis, Sept. 1920,
was grand success from start to
finish.
We came in on the quarter cen
tury run with a membership Of
$500. There were nearly four
hundred delegates present.
Mrs. Bessie Laythe Scovell
made herself doubly dear to all by
her tact and ability as a leader.
Much against her wish (for she
knows her constituents are the
pocketless sex) her salary was
raised 500 and the eighth district
made her present of $50 in loving
appreciation of he work. Her ad-
dress was ordered printed in leahet
form.
A purse of 500 was given to the
retiring Corresponding Secretary
Mrs. A. C. McCurdy, of Mime
apolis. Mrs. Ella F. Hendricks
was elected to fill the position.
Mrs, Belle Welch was reelected
recording secretary and Mrs. f.
w. Soule as treasurer.
Loyalty to the cause and to
those faithful in the work was the
watchword, with few exceptions.
This loyalty was particularly
marked in the executive, the mill
wheel of the convention.
Out of the thirty-three State
superintendent of departments,
twenty-one were present at nearly
every meeting and only one was
dropped on account of lack Of in
terest.
One dear woman rode seventy
five miles by team to reach the
train, and came with her baby one
year old.
One dear baby named for ''Our
Bessie' was introduced to the con-
vention.
One mother with her baby, Vic
tor, seven months old, is more than
her name, Goodacre, denotes.
DR.. Mary Milestone has made
a close study of non-alcoholic medi-
cation, and gave helpful talks.
Dear readers, there are remedies
far ahead of alcohol. I will give
some in this column soon and hope
you may keep in touch with this
line of work and Danish all liquor
from the home. It is not needed,
even for snake bites.
The changes in the constitution
will cause a Encouragement in the
district and retard the work for the
present, but will be great benefit
in the near future to the State
work, and we trust to the sparsely
settled portions of the State. State
organizers will have chance to
add many pupils to the greatest
school for the development of wo-
man in the wor(d-the w. G. T. U.
1t broadens the sphere of woman,
helps them to understand forty
lines of reform work. All of our
best workers have begun in the
local unions and are now competent
to fill positions of any kind.
The committee on courtesies
brought many to the platform to
be introduced to the convention.
Of the ministers it might be said:
"Were there not ten cleansed?
| Where are the nine?'

Total Abstinence Society, the M.

SULTAN PREPARING DEFENSE
The Patience Of France Is Finally
Exhausted.
VIC ND AND OFFEND PRIDE.

Paris, Nov. 4.-"The Sultan has or
dered the completion with all speed of
the defenses at Salonilxia, Smyrna and
the entrance of the Dardanells,'' says a
correspondence of the Echo de Paris.
Submarine mines will be placed and
troops modified at points where dis
embarkations are likely.
"a violent anti-French feeling pre-
walls, and fears are felt for the safety
of the French residents in Turkish
cities.
New York.-The Paris correspondent
of the London Times and the New
York Times declares that the patience
of France with Turkey has finally been
exhausted. He says it is the general
belief that Turkey will now abandon
her procrastinating tactics and fulfill
her engagements. Her only difficulty
will be in finding the necessary money.
The correspondent adds that things
cannot go as they have done. The
government is face to, face with de-
bate on the foreign estimates in the
chamber of deputies, and it is impera-
tive that situation both embarrassing
and ridiculous shall be ended. When
trouble with Turkey began it seemed
difficult for France to undertake a
coercive naval demonstration in regard
to the three matters at stake. The
question of the Constantinople quays
concerned private enterprise involv-
ing interpretations of a concession.
| The Lorando and Tubini debts were
even less of the sort for which power
mobilizes the fleet. The porte, how
ever, has acted toward France in a
way calculated to wound and offend
and demonstration is needed, or the
dignity of France will be compromised.

WHAT THE NAVY ASKS FOR.
Plans Would Make More Effective
Service on the Ocean.

Service on the Ocean.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE board of
naval construction will renew its
recommendations, which were made to
the last congress. The boards com
plete plan is:
Three sea-going battleships of about
10000 tons displacement.
Two armored cruisers of about Il, 500
tons displacement.
Six gunboats of about 6OOO tons.
Six gunboats of about 1000 tons.
Two Golfers of about Is, 900 tons.
Ohe repair ship of about 1900 tons.
Six training ships of about 2OOO tons.
Four picket boats of about $50 tons.
-Four tugboats.
In each case, it is explained, recon-
mendations are but steps necessary to
be taken to carry out the general policy
of providing the United States with a
modern navy of sufficient strength and
made up of harmonious units.
This policy was thought out care
fully by two boards and if it is carried
out as is proposed they declare that
the symmetrical navy finally provided
would be very much more effective
than the more numerous navies of sew
eral of the European countries.

Injunction Law Held Good.

Fort Scott, Kas.. Oct. 3O.-In the dis
trict court Judge Simons held that the
liquor injunction was waJ eonstitu-
tional and that the new Hurrel law
passed at the last legislature did not
repeal the old law. The question came
up on demurrer to the liquor injunc-
ton suits which were recently brought
by members of the Civic Purity
League. Speculation is rife as to which
decision will hold good, this one or the
one rendered by Judge Fischer, OF
Wyandotte county.

Gen. Miles Against Canteens.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Lieutehant
General Miles has again reversed his
views, and in his annual report will
oppose any effort to repeal the anti
canteen law. General Miles has been in
the past one of the strongest advocates
of the canteen system, and he was
largely responsible for its adoption.
He has changed ground since the anti
canteen law was adopted, and now
argues that the army is better off with
out the canteen.

THE CHAMPION WING SHOT.
Capt Bogardu, Has Dangerous Expert.

Capt Bogardus Has a Dangerous Expert
ence but Comes Out Unhurt.
Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov.
4th.-Capt A. H. Bogardus. the cham
pion wing shot of the world, has spent
the summer here His shooting school
has been one Of the features of the
Park during the season. He has Civ
en- many exhibitions and his skill with
the rifle is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close
call he once had when living at Elk
hart, Ill. He had been a sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and
1t rapidly developed into Bright's Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed is to
put it very mildly. This plucky man
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at
last he was to be conquered by such
a cruel foe.
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says: 'I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills
and to nothing else"

Winfield, Kans., Oct. 29.-William
Johnson, who is held for the murder of
George c. Montgomery, the Santa Fe
secret service officer, is believed by the
officials to be guilty. They are still
getting evidence against him and be-
lieve that if they don't fix the actual
killing upon him, that he knows some
thing about it, and they will secure
evidence to be used against the real
murderer. Several important clues
are now being Investigated by the
officers.

that her release seemed to be only a
matter of days. Another letter has

of Miss Stone became more serious.
The brigands are still holding out for

should they persist in their demand
Miss Stone will have to be sacrificed.
The negotiations are still proceeding.

Turkey Expected to Paw

Washington, Nov. There is a
fleet to Turkey. A few years ago Aus
tria seized Turkish port in the gulf
of Alexandria and held it until her
claims were paid, yet the incident did
not cause protest by the other powers
or even attract attention very much.
1t is confidently expected that it will
not be necessary for the French adj
miral to proceed to any great length
before the Turks will meet his demands.
Turkey and France may have agreed.
