belaWare county No-Iicense League
Holds Meeting at Norwood.
NORWOOD, Pa, Oct. 13.-The Rev. A..
l.. Lathem, pastor Of the Third Presby-
terian Church of Chester, and the Rev.
Henry S. Noon, of Media. were the prin-
cipal speakers at the meeting held in the
Norwood borough schoolhouse last night
under the auspices of the Delaware Coun-
ty No-License League. Doctor Lathem
spoke on the economic side of the dues-
tion, pointing to the advantages being de-
rived by the States that have snnlhilated
the liquor traflc. He expressed the belief
that the no-license or local option move
ment would sweep through the country
from the Gulf to the Lakes this coming
election, with Ohio getting into line with
large vote against the liquor traffic The
addition of Ohio, he said, would give a
sufficient number OF States to warrant the
proposed amendment 20 the Constitution.
Mr.. Noon. the county chairman, gave
of the pitiable conditions
wrought by the liquor traffic which came
under his personal observation, and gave
statistics showing the great strides that
have been made in the battle against
the traffic the last year.
None of the party's candidates was re-
ferred TO at the meeting. Only the issues
were discussed The Rev. Roy N. Keiser,
pastor of Norwood Methodist Episcopal
Church, presided.

panying the investments these dividends
are considered too small Relief will be
sought at the end of the sessions by a

President Charles NJ. Black, OF San
Francisco, dwelt at length on this prob
lem in his annual address and urged
action by the association. He said the
growing country needed electric service
and improvements should be encouraged.

lief that changes might be made II the
