was big success and an occasion long
to be remembered by those who par
ticipated in it. Unfortunately none of
the Tarpon Springs contestants,
won any points, though they all did
splendidly, and deserve much credit
for the enthusiasm they showed and
the efforts they put forth. Next year
they will be better prepared and will
feel a greater incentive to try their

Mrs. Sharples Gives Stirring Address

Mrs. Sharples, national field secreta-
ry of the Worlds Purity federation,
delivered an eloquent address yester
day afternoon at Trinity M. E. church
on the subject, "Traffic in Souls; and
Commercialized Vice" She dwelt on
lack of education and home training
as the chief cause of the social evil,
especially in the South, where young
girls are not taught to work, but have
colored servants to wait on them. She
said that compulsory education should
be in force everywhere.
She gave some astounding and terri
BILE figures. She said that seventy
five per cent of the fallen girls are
from the South, a fact which should
set every parent and young man and
woman thinking. She also told her
audience that there is one girl lost
every seven minutes in the United

the surplus product, "ripes" and other
things grown that for one reason or

The Imperial Canning company of
Philadelphia, having thoroughly in

northern canneries and which is so

have given many other figures.
Mrs. Sharples's address was thor
oughly good, through and through,
because it presentedein such modest
way facts which most people shut
their eyes and ears to, and for which
very reason the white slave traffic has
gained such a strong hold.
