Sometimes he would wander through
the streets looking for her, but he
never found her. x
However, even without this he
could produce a satisfactory piece of
work. He knew that and worked
hard. His unintentional frown when
he met other roomers on the stairs
soon taught them to leave him alone.
He had the reputation of being
crank. That was what Mrs. James,
the landlady, told Miss Lucy Dexter
I'm sorry that l must give you the
room next to his, my dear" she said
to the girl, 'but as you can't pay
more than two that's the, only one
l can let you have at the price.
There's only his room and yours on
the top floor, but l guess he won't
annoy you, if you don't mind his
frown."

MRS.. F. Il. WILDER
ON PROHIBITION
INTERESTING TALK GIVEN by A
LADY AT THE Y. M. C. A.. YES.
TERDAY AFTERNOON IN WHICH
THE WEBB BILL WAS THOR
oUGHLY DISCUSSED.

Mrs. F. H. Wilder spoke at the z.
M. G. A. yesterday afternoon meeting.
Summing up the Webb bill and the
winning of that great victory in the
two great houses of national legisla-
ton over the veto Of the president, she
said that it was an indication that
America is very close to national pro-
hfbition. After reviewing the strug-
giles of the last twenty years concern
ing the fight against interstate COM
merce as related to booze, Mrs. Wilder
then told of the four great forces
which concentrated their efforts at
washington last December, the w. G,
T. u, the prohibitionist, the Anti-Sa-
loon league and representative off,
Gals from dry" states and local ter
~ritories all over the United States.
These forces filled the galleries and
capitol lobby to oyerfiowing. She
spoke enthusiastically of North Dako-
ta's representatives, especially Senat-
or McCumber's address before the
house on Sept. Is. And the effect Of
the appeal sent from the North Dako-
ia and West Virginia state legisla-
lures that the bill be passed.
In summing up the outlook, Mrs
Wilder called attention to the fact
that II per cent of the people in the
United States, which Is nearly three
fourths of its population, n now liv-
ing in dry territory. and that the
breweries seem convinced that their
strength and efforts should be confined
hereafter to wet territory, and that
they were facing the last great battle
of their history.
She then read an extract from The
Nashville Te~nnessean which stated
that in Tennessee the result has all
ready begun to arrive from the new
Webb bill. Express companies r re-
fusing to accept Intoxicating liquors
for shipment into prohibition terri
tory; pending a decision In the Unit

CLUB NOTES

The much talked of Housewives
league was organized yesterday after
noon at Grand Forks at a meeting held
In the domestic science department OF
the central school building. The league
starts out with a. membership of fifty
and it is hoped that every housekeeper
in the city will become a member very
soon. The primary object in organic
ing a league is to uphold the enforce
ment of laws which affect the food
supplies, h family health, the cost of
living and to secure further legisla-
ton, when necessary, toward that end.
Mrs. Tasso Lindsay was elected chair
man and the other members of the
committee are Miss Mary Sutherland,
Mrs. S. Torgerson, Mrs. Don. Mcdonald
and Mrs. James Collins. The commit
tee will make definite plans for carry
ing on the work which will be taken
up at once. One of the most important
things which the members Of the
league are obliged to insist upon will
be honest weights and measures. They
will also demand cleanliness of food
and protection of all products against
flies, dust and handling. They will
pledge themselves to read carefully all
labels on canned and bottled goods and
to report any violation of the pure food
laws to the proper authorities. They
will buy only from the grocers. meat
dealers, bakers and milk men who con
form to the state Inc federal laws.
They are to refuse all cold storage
products which have been held to their
ueJfjTnenC or 10 encourage the van
of prices. The membership of the
league will also take up the dealers
side of the question and endeavor to
cooperate with him in every way. They
will plan their buying SO that it will
be necessary for retailers to make only
one delivery a day. They will pay
cash for their goods or settle their ac- !
within thirty days. They will
refrain from handling articles of food
exposed for sale in their stores, will
~patronize and encourage the support
of all tradesmen complying with the
laws, n will favor the stores which
close early. In exchange for this they |
will expect the retailers to keep down
prices in accordance. with the saving
In the number of deliveries, loss Of

work of the league is to be education
al, constructive and defensive. The
members will secure all the informa-
tion possible in regard to the laws
which affect the North Dakota homes
and valuable information can be OBJ
tained by applying to the local board
of health, state department labor laws,

ment of agriculture at Washington.
