WOMEN ARE OPPOSED TO
 DlSPENSARY IN THE STATE
Ringing Resolutions Passed Against the Dspensay System in Alabama by the w. C. I. U.-Women Regard it as An-
 other Form of Lcense-Address by Mrs. Elder

What is pronounced the most striking address of the Alabama Women's Chris tian Temperance Union convention now in session in Birmingham was made at the afternoon session yesterday by Mrs Anna D. Elder, who spoke on the Dis pensary." Mrs. Elders address was the last on the programme, and as the dele gates expected to visit the Mercy Home In a body at the close of the meeting there was a sentiment to postpone the closing address until the Thursday ses- sion number of the delegates were in favor of carrying out the programme and the president announced that Mrs. Elder would speak.
 Without any prelminaries Mrs. Elder gave her reasons for opposing the dis pensary system and backed up her req sons with strong and convincing argu- ments. The first questions she asked her hearers was How shall we prevent the traffic on rum"
 Mrs. Elder said that one of the argu- ments In favor of the dispensary that had influenced w. C. T. |. women in the past to lend their encouragement to this movement was that the dispensary a stepping stone to prohibition.
 "Ine dispensary," said Mrs. Elder, has never made any less drinking.
 It is only another form of license and in the end shuts the door of temperance. The speaker said that one of the inn portant issues was to pass effectual laws prohibiting the sale of liquor, which in strong language she declared was the greatest curse and evil in the land She said that there would never be a dis pensary in Birmingham. or the larger cities in this state. but that -ie open saloons would sell enough whisky to float all the prohibition counties in Ala bama. Mrs. Elder declared that the dis pensary system as operated In this state was not what it should be, and that 1t was failure here as it had proved d failure in Georgia and South Carolina. She gave statistics and facts substantial ing her own arguments and at the close of her address introduced the following resolution which was passed unanimous

 Among those speaking to the motion and who strongly favored 1t were Mrs Anna Brown Hale, the delegate from Fair Hope, and Mrs. c. B.

A Good Time to Travel.

There is to be five million dollar
exposition at Portland, June l to Oc-
tober Is, commemmorating the Lewis
and Clark expedition of 1905. In
Denver, the Epworth League is to
have an international convention,
July 5 to 8, and the Grand Army of
the Republic a national encampment
September 4 to 7.
Railroad men who have studied
the situation freely predict that it will
be the greatest summer in history for
western travel. In another column
we publish the Burlington Routes
advance bulletin of excursion rates
and it will be noted that some of them
are the lowest ever made. Western
roads particularly those in Colorado
and on the Pacific coast) have an
nounced a corresponding reduction,
ana planned great many special low
rate excursions through the noun
tains. Even the steamship compan-
les have taken up the excursion idea
and reduced rates for trips to points
near and far-as far, indeed, as Alas
ka and the Orient.
This certainly is a good summer
for saint and sinner to travel. To be
able to visit the Northwest, now
promising to become one of the great
sections of the future, at little cost, is
a real joy, and no less appreciated are
the reduced rates and special service
for trips to such popular places as
Colorado, California, the Yellowstone
Park and the Black Hills of South
Dakota.

To Linn County Sunday School Workers.


Thursday, May 18, is the time ap-
pointed for the house to house vista
tion in the interest of Bible study in
the home. For various reasons there
are homes in each school district in
every township in the county where
some members cannot attend the reg
ular Sunday school session. To meet
the need the home department of in
terdenominational Sunday school
work has been devised, and addresses
itself today to every lover of Bible in
struction for home and family life.
This is an important work and
should not be overlooked or neglect
ed. So long as Christian workers
hold fast the tenets of the Kingahip
of Christ and the unity of believers,
individual cooperative effort for the
enlightenment of everyone will be in
order. Literature can be had from

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Bureau, Missouri Section For The
Week Ending Last Monday.

The first half of the week was warn
and favorable for farming operations
but closed cool and wet. The tota
rain fall for the week exceeded ONT
inch oyer many of the east-centra
and few of the southwestern counties
and from two to over three inches in
most of the southeastern counties, re-
sulting in some damage by washing
away plowed land. Heavy hail storms
occurred in few scattered localities
damaging vegetation to some extent.
During the fore part of the week
plowing and planting progressed fair
ly well especially in the southwest
section. In the southeastern counties
however, work was practically at a
standstill owing to heavy rains and
wet soil. In many of the central and
southwest counties corn planting is
nearly completed, much of it is up and
some cultivation has been done, but
in other sections only about half the
acreage has been planted and in the
extreme northern counties the work
has just begun. Owing to poor germ
ination and the cut-worm much re-
planting is being done. Cotton plant
ing, in the extreme southern counties,
has been further retarded by rains
and wet condition of the soil, but is
about completed in some localities.
Wheat, as a rule, continues in good
condition and in few of the central
and southern counties is beginning to
head in similar localities. Oats, with
the exception ofthe southwest counties
continues to make fair growth. Po-
tatoes are up to good growth. Grasses
Of all kinds are making vigorous
growth. Garden vegetables that are
up are doing we'll.
Correspondents state that the pros
poets for tree fruits is more promising
than at first reported. In few To-
calities apples are dropping but as a
rule the outlook is promising. Peaches
in many of the southern and few of
the northern counties promise fair
yield. Strawberries promise good
yield, and picking will begin during
the succeeding week in the extreme
southern counties.

the contrary it was his commission as
lieutenant colonel of the first regi-

of three years. Mr.. Libby has been
a member of the field staff for ten
years and his advancement to that of
lieutenant colonel is in recognition of
his splendid services and devotion to
the order, and is an honor worthily

An interesting discussion is now
running in the columns of The Far
mer and Stockman relating to the
type of horse that is best adapted to
farm labor in the corn belt. The
editor Of The Farmer and Stockman
has taken the position that the horse
weighing from 1,450 to 1,700 pounds
is not only the most profitable to raise
for the market, but that an animal of
this weight, if the quality is right, is
much more useful on the heavy farm
implements than the light-weights.
The expression of this opinion has
stirred up some of the advocates of
the lighter breeds, and one farmer
goes so far as to say that he can disc
more ground with four 1900 pound
standard horses than can be done
by similar number of drafters. He
points out that the standard bred
horse has more snap and that he viii
do his work Win greater degree of
ease than viii the heavy weights.
Some interesting argument is put forth
on both sides of this question, and the
matter is not ended yet. We would
like here to repeat that subscriptions
for The Farmer and Stockman are
taken at this Office, and we shall Be
pleased to do our part, towards SWELL
ing the number Of Farmer and Stock
men subscribers in this community.
