Especial to The Free Press.I

London, March 25.-The queer
notice published by George r.
Sims, the playwright, mentioned to
day as the last on which he would
pay attention TO those who had
any objections to make to the list
of names which he intended using
in his new drama, which will be
produced in the fall. .
English authors have been much
worried recently by law suits In.
stituted by persons whose names
have figured in their stories, and
who declare that on that account
they have been held up to public
ridicule, odium and contempt.
To prevent these libel cases and
get around the statutes Mr.. Sims
published G full list of the names
he intends using and asked that
"all and sundry bearing the afore
said name or names, legally and
lawfully, or by common repute
should communicate with me In
writing on or before March 25. OF
forever after hold their peace" II
is believed this is the first time
such notice has ever been printed

900 clear profit for less than a year
OF operation is the report OF the
citizens committee OF Slsseton,
which has charge of the financial
management Nof the only saloon al.
lowed in the place.
When the town voted wet last
spring, after several years of
drought" the manner OF handling
the traffic was turned over to a
committee, which hired n manager
for the one saloon permitted, paying
him a salary of $500 a year and
hiring all help needed. All surplus
funds were to be equally divided be
tween the funds OF the municipality
and a special good roads fund, and
each has just received $4,000, the re.
mainder being held as an operating
fund.
With no expense OF fitting up for
business, the managers estimate the
net returns in 1914 at about $4,000.
Several years ago Sisseton started
movement for highways to that
place by merchants paying their
estimated expenses for calendars into

kept TO the front and is the basis for
paying half the saloon profits into

HOW EARLY TEACHING
WOULD ASSIST CAUSE
MISS ROSETTA HENDRIX DISCUSSED
TEMPERANCE QUESTION
Duty OF the W. C. 7. U. Is Made Plain
At Meeting Held in the Centenary
Church Yesterday

Miss Rosetta Hendrix gave very
interesting and instructive address
at the Centenary Methodist church
Tuesday afternoon before the w. G.
T.. u and friends. Her topic was
Temperance Work and Women's
Votes" The meeting opened with
singing and scripture reading by the
vice president, Mrs. Carl Swenson
Mrs. George E. Nettleton offered
prayer. -
Miss Hendrix principal thought
was that in order to make this
country temperate that the children
must be taught emperance from their
babyhood. She said that it did com.
paratiyely little good to teach older
people temperance IL the children are
neglected. and urged that more time
be given to the teaching of the prin
ciples of temperance to children In
the Sunday schools and churches.
She also urged that young mothers
should be taught to give their babies
no medicines which contain drugs
of an alcoholic nature. Speaking OF
how to accomplish these things, Miss
Hendrix said that such work was the
duty Of the w. c. T. u, and the
meetings OF the organization should
be made so interesting as to In
crease the membership and the work
ing capacity of the organization.
In closing her address Miss Hen
dirk spoke briefly of votes for
women. All who heard the address
were delighted with Miss Hendrix
presentation OF the subject.
