MADE THE ROUND
W. C. T. U. Delegates Visit
Redwood Falls Saloons.
Also Organize Indian Women to Help
In. the Temperance Cause-Suc-
CessfuI Convention.

Redwood Falls saloon keepers were
called upon Wednesday by the people
they were not looking for. The state
W. G. T. U. is in session in Redwood
Falls and several of the lady delegates
headed by Mrs. Isabelle Wing Lake
made round of the grog shops.
The proprietors and bartenders gave
the ladies courteous treatment. Mrs.
Wing Lake talked with the men and
told them they were engaged in an
evil business.
Visits to saloons and other resorts of
evil are part of Mrs. Lakes daily
program, as she believes in graphing
with wrong in it strongholds, and
with coming in personal contact with
those engaged in breaking down
public morals. Mrs. Lake is the ma
tional superintendent of rescue work
and has been engaged in her reforma-
tory labors for twenty years, going
about among the saloons and brothels
seeking those whom she desired to
reach. She is woman of deep
spirituality, and an inspiring person
ality and has deeply impressed Mime
sofa people among whom she has done
much work. She finds in the state a
large field for her labors and perhaps
knows it's moral condition better than
any of its citizens.
In the afternoon Mrs. Lake took
the initiative In another interesting
piece of work. Birch Coulie Indian
agency and mission is a few miles
from here and she drove there with
Miss Dazzling, Mrs F. A. Wright of
Hubbard and Rev. Mr.. Mitcell, Epis-
copal rector of Redwood, to visit the
woman's guild. Mrs. Lake spoke to
the women, explaining the purpose
and methods of the W. g. T. U. and
at the close of her talk thirty Indians
signified their desire to organize an
Indian union. An organization was
effected with Mrs Crooks as president
and Mrs. Good Thunder, widow of
Chief Good Thunder, as vice presi-
dent. Rev. Henry st, Clair, rector of
the mission, interpreted for Mrs.
Lake and Mr.. Mitchell, who also
spoke.
The convention was very successful.
The report Of the treasurer shows
receipts of So, 147.29, of which the
dues amounted to 81, S46. rs; a special
Philippine fund, $50; pledges, $3.50. 46,
and the Willard memorial fund,
$161.25; the expenditures were
So, 794. Sc, with a balance Of $50. 70, of
which 1914 55 belongs in the organiza-
ton fund. The dues paid to the treas
urer show membership of 3, 603-a
gain in the WIS and loss in the Y's.
The report of the finances of the state
paper, The White Ribboner, published
officially by the union, showed that
81, 045. IS had been expended for it
and the paper fund has balance of
