Mrs. Lulu Plettner Writes interest
ing Letter From Oakland, Cali
4afornia To Old sNeighbors and Co.
Workers in Fulton County.

We certainly are appreciating the
privilege of 9 vacation trip which we
nave planned to- take us from the
home county Of Fulton to the great
northwest city Of Seattle and thence
southwark to San Diego, then on
homeward route by way of Salt Lake
City, Denver, etc; but we will stop
for a little while in Seattle, where we
enjoyed the And Annual Convention
of the National w. C. T. u. where
there were women from nearly every
state in the u S., also fraternal dele
gates from Canada, Alaska, etc..
: Some were enroute from China,
but were detained from attendance by
and auto accident not seriously in
jured, but unable to come. on at once.
All the sessions were instructive and
the many department meetings were
of especial benefit to all workers to
inspire them to work along the varied
ways the w. G. T. u. has, for race
betterment and the goal of Nation,
and Worldwide prohibition. On
Platform Night when each state
(which had made membership gain
of over one hundred, had the privi-
Elege Of some stunt on the platform,
the enthusiasm and rejoicing Of the
already "dry" nineteen states, made
US long more than ever that our be-
loved Ohio may join their ranks this
fall. We wish we could impress every
one with the fact that the dry cities
and towns showed the cleanly and
prosperous conditions even from the
railroad stations. Also in this ma
tional gathering we were more thar
ever impressed with the necessity OF
National Constitutional Prohibition
because just SO long as it beverage

it will over ride the laws Of the dry
states, by shipping it in, in some way
i In our enjoyment Of all we see and
hear our thoughts are often going
back to the wonderful campaign Ohie
is going through, and our earnest
wish and prayer is, that righteous.

Ohio rejoice in being the twentieth

WELCOMED US with q fine luncheon
places for four hundred to sit down
Fto eat at once.
We were cordially invited to carr,
away all the fruit which we did no
feat. We tried our best to do so bu

met in Portland by autos and .givel
a'two hours tour Of the city. In Seat
