A beautiful spectacle was present
ed in Banner haIl in the Chesterfield
village of Bensley Thursday evening.
1t was a childrens temperance dem

legion. of which Mrs Mary Danner
is president.
The hall was festooned with red
and white ribbon, and the walls bore
large charts, printed in colors, telling
of the evil effects of alcohol on the
system. and the social and economic
blight of the liquor traffic. The rear
of the stage was banked with cedar
and Christmas tree decorations.

The principal address OF the even

Ropps address was splendid one
tin nly. eloquent and thrilling 1t
was interspered with many pathetic
and well related incidents of rum s
ruin, and salvation from 1t.
A unique feature was the dedica-
ton of two little girls, and little
boy to the cause, the exercises con-
sisting of the tying of the white rib
bon band on the right wrist of each
of the children by Mrs. Ropp. fol-
lowed by a fervent prayer and the

Let me tell you my friend you
make a mighty poor bargain when
you sell yourself for So so. / saw you
do it the other day You deliberately
beat friend out of that much money
because you had the opportunity. He
knows you did it, too. You thought
you were pretty clever, but you made
one of the poorest bargains of your
life. No man is smart when he be-
gins to barter away his credit and
his honor for few dollars at time
Before he has accumulated enough to
pay a months board he is out of both
credit and honor. Look around town
and note the fellows who have sold
themselves for a mere bagatelle. Do
they amount to anything? No dead
beat ever got rich or had anything
saved up for old age. When you de-
eide that you are worth no more
than $3.50 you want to take rapid
walk down TO the river and jump in

way you can help your community
