FINE TEMPERANCE LECTURE
Mrs. Edith Smith Davis Delights a
Large Audience at AsburY Church

Mrs. Edith Smith Davis Delights a
Large Audience at AsburY Church
To bring speakers of national rep
utation before the public is always
the purpose of the Smyrna Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, and as
such Mrs. Edith Smith Davis de-
livered an address last Friday even
ing in the ksbury Methodist Episco-
pal church. Mrs. Kate E. Smithers
presided at the meeting and the
18th chapter of First Corinthians
was read by the Rev. W. D. Parry,
who also offered prayer. Mrs.
Davis is World and National W. C.
T. .. Superintendent of the Depart
ment of Scientific Temperance In
struction and she is eminently fitted,
both by culture and natural gifts, for
the demands of the great Depart
ment. The subject of Mrs. Davis
address was Conservation Through
the TRUTH and she began by Civ
ing forms of truth, and as a part of
her address fiuently quoted passages
against the use of alcoholic drinks
from the writer's of antiquity and of
later times. The structure of the
human brain and the effects of al
cohol upon it, from recent scientific
Investigations, were also given by
her. Mention was made too of
prizes offered by the Department of
Scientific Temperance instruction to
scholars of the public schools and
students of colleges for the best
temperance essays. Mrs. Davis also
emphasized the thought that the
young people of the present will be
conserved" by their knowledge of
alcohol that they shall "know the
truth and the truth shall make them
free" The address was polished
and convincing from the statements
of scientific facts. During the even
ing, the audience was favored with
solo by Mrs. W. D. Parry with
Mrs. Marion Coverdale organist, and
quartette by Messrs. W. o. Hof-
fecker, L. M. Price, Mrs. w. D..
Parry and Mrs. Elva McCaulsand.
And the autumnal beauties in the
chancel, entwined with the symbolic
white ribbon gave additional pleas
ure. The meeting closed with the
benediction pronounced by the Rev.
W. D. Parry. Press Superintendent.

TO CUT OUT THE MIDDLEMAN

Pennsylvania and New York Consumers
Organize to Reduce Cost of Living
Ten thousand heads of New York
families, 500 retail dealers in so
lines and several hundred farmers of
the Pennsylvania State Grange have
combined in an association in New
York to eliminate the middleman
and lower the high cost of living.
While the Pennsylvania State Grange
is completing negotiations with the
association this week to handle the
farmers output, small army of
canvassers is enrolling hundreds of
other families in the movement,
nearly so, 900 having been secured in
week, and officers of the associa-
tion are negotiating with the farmers
of New York State to handle their
products also. The association
plans to act as a clearing house
between producer and consumer,
dividing between them the profit of
the various middlemen through
whose hands food commodities have
heretofore passed. In the case of
some farm products, the association
finds that six middlemen or brokers
have been reaping profits before the
products reached the consumer.

DELAWARE OYSTER IN FAVOR

In Greater Demand in Market Than
the Famous Maurice River Covers
Delaware oysters have at last
reached point in the markets of
higher superiority and greater de-
mand than the Jersey oysters in
eluding the famous Maurice river
cove just across the bay. The
splendid condition of the oysters on
this shore, owing to favorable winds
and fresh water currents, has ele-
waited them to a commercial esteem
where it can now be said: 'eThe
market is always open for Della
wares, or oysters taken from the
west shore of the Delaware bay. :"
The price now offered is $3.50 a
thousand for primes, and S4 for GULL
ings.

COTTON MEN GLOOMY.
Futures Bill in Louisiana Legislature
 Worries Traders.

New Orleans, Feb. 16-1'he Scott bill, which has for it's object the eli imitation of trading in futures and now before congressional committee. is a spectre in the New Orleans cor ton future ring and there is a feel ing of gloom, it is said, in the local cotton exchange over the possible passage of the bill.
 The market today opened ten points down, but the feeling frightened somewhat on information from the capitol that the bill would be smoth- cred in committed It is said the bill of lading matter would again be pre- cipitated because it Is asserted, banks will not honor drafts drawn against bills of lading unless the cotton which the bills call for is "hedged" in the future market, thus insuring against loss.
