Two meetings will be held Wednes-

of the campaign for support for the
Hobson constitutional amendment
providing for national prohibition
that Is being made In Detroit and
Michigan. The Rev. Sam Small, Of
Atlanta, Ca, celebrated temperance
orator, will speak In Fortst. Congre-

son, Of Tennessee, will speak In
Brewster Congregational churcn,
Trumbull and Warren-aves.
Although the sudden change in
weather has made most folk averse
to leaving their home nights. the
crowds which have been attending
the prohibition lectures since Sunday
have been of gratifying proportions.

Before the days OF the rebellion.
