District w. c. T. U. Convention.

-
an account of the 10Th annual
convention of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union for
the eighth district of Missouri
which was held at the Keytes-
vile Christian church Wednes-
day afternoon and evening, all
day Thursday and Thursday
evening. The deliberations of
the convention were presided
over by Mrs. Nellie g. Berger of
Clark, Randolph county, who is
one of the most enthusiastic as
well as one of the most success.
full temperance workers in the
state.
Owing to the fact that the edi.
tor of the COURIER was called to
Moberly Wednesday afternoon, (,
on business that kept US up all
night, and being very busy the
next day getting ready to go to
press we were too tired to attend
the convention, but that it was q
success all who " ere there are Of
one voice.
The regular program W a g
carried out, and reports from
local unions showed that the af.
fairs of the W. G. T. U. in the
eighth district of Missouri were
in a flourishing condition and
that the war on strong drink
continues to rage.
Mrs. Berger delivered an able
address Wednesday night, and,
as usual, had much of interest to
say and held the closest atten
ton of the audience.
The cap sheaf of the meeting,
perhaps, was the gold medal con
test Thursday evening, in which
the prize was awarded to Mrs
Thos. Walton of Higbee, she
competing with eight other con.
testsnts. The judges of this
contest were Prof. w. s. Drace
and Mesdames Winnie Cooke
and M. 8. Walther, who founo
the grades go close that their de.
cision was reached after much
consideration.
E. H. Logan, the affsble Wa
bash agent at this place, favored
the audience with a cornet solo
that caused the highest appre-
citation, Mr.. Logan being a COR
netist of superior ability.
During the convention the
Eadington sisters of Salisbury,
who never fail to please their
hearers, sang several sweet vocal
selections and met with a hearty
encore.
With the exception of Vice
President Mrs. Fannie d. Pitts
of Roanoke all of the old officers
were re. elected as follows:
Mrs. Nellie 6. Berger of Clark,
president; Mrs. Louisa Miller of
Clark, vice president; Miss Mag.
gle Rogers of Forest Green, cor.
responding secretary; Miss
Christina Summers of Clifton
Hill, recording secretary, and
Miss Emma Chapman of Keytes-
vile, treasurer.
The Keytesville local union
acquitted itself most admirably
in entertaining the delegates who
numbered about 30 and were
made to feel perfectly at home.
The committee on courtesies,
Mesdames ]. D. Cunningham
and o. G. Dameron, left n othing
undone to make the stay of the
out-of.town attendants pleasant
and that they succeeded all will
gladly bear witness.
When it comes to true, genuine,
old-fashioned hospitality Key.
tesville always stands right at
the head of the procession.
The convention held here was
edifying and will add new zeal to
the noble and undying cause
temperance.

assessed at a fine Of $40 and
costs.
In default of sufficient coin of

Clubs Meet Together.

The Students club entertained the
Literary club at the home of its
vice president, Mrs. e.. j. Jones on
Monday afternoon A profitable af-
ternoon was enjoyed by all listening
to Mrs. Perry Starkweather of st.
Paul, who gave a talk on the work
of the Humane Society.
While she is interested in all
branches Of this seeiety's activities,
at present she is particularly work
ing for the betterment Of women and
children in industry, and gave many
surprising facts CLEANED from her
experience in this work. omething OF
the magnitude of the problems that
confront the Humane society in its
work of service is shown by the
fact that in 1907 the census showed
that there were over 100000 in in
dustrial pursuits, this number not con-
sidering those engaged in domestic
service. OF the three hundred and
three departments of classified labor,
women have representatives in all
but five
Mrs.Starkweather gave several rea-
sons for the conditions being unfav-
orable for women workers. One be-
ing the lack of proper legislation
regarding their rights and protection
The American spirit of independence
inducing many girls not obliged to
earn wages to enter the field of in
dustry, thus coming in competition
with their less fortunate sister who
is forced by circumstances to earn
her daily bread, is another large fac
tor in cheapening women's work.
The speaker thot the leaving OF
their homes for positions in the
city by very young girls was perhaps
what led to the most unfortunate re-
suits, and was one of the things
the Humane society most deplored
She urged the club women of this

influence to keep women, and espe-
cially very young girls away from
the cities, and. hoped to know that
Morris might soon have flourish
ing Humane society of its own.
This little, outline gives very little
idea of the food for thot contained
in the hours talk Mrs. StarkweatheI
gave. AS a speaker she is so hearth
ly in earnest, has SO much to say
and such a delightful way of saying
it, that all were charmed with her
address, as they were with her as
woman
Mrs. Jones spared no pains in max
ing her home attractive for the oc-
casion, using the color, and flower
of the Literary club in her table
decorations. Dainty refreshments
were served, and an hour was spent
