CANTERBURY PLAINS
Able Addresses at Prohibition Meeting Why the Saloon Must Go.

At the recent W. c. T. U. free will offering meet the speakers were Mrs. J. J. Fields of Norwich and Rev. A. T. Barwick of Plainfeld. Mrs. Field = is well known throughout both Ne London and Windham counties for her L. T L. work in supervision and was most happy in her able presentation of this subject.
 Rev. MT. Barwick based his address on Is. 5S. He indicted the liquor traf- f1c, dwelling on it's menace to health, industry and morals. The saloon is a bar to all forms of good and a door to all evils on the way to hell There is no question before our nation to- day of greater importance than that of prohibition and an allied question of what is to be had as substitutes by those addicted to liquor. Some real good must take its place. Here con structive plans must be made by each community to fit it's own needs.
 MT. Barwick emphasized the possi- bility of both church and school build ings being used aside from hours of school and of worship as places in viting and helpful. with suitable aids to this work, especially in cities where often families are crowded as in case instanced, where chalk marks were dividing lines for five families and one family had the middle of the rooni and no walls.
 A quartette from MT Barwick s trained choir, all with fine rich voices gave several selections during the | evening, adding greatly to the success and pleasure of the meeting. |

BERBEO WIRE FOR
 BOUNDARY FENCE

DOUGLAS. Sept 17-Gen. D. c. Cabell, commander or the Arizona dis tr:c;. returned Saturday night from Washington. where he was called to make repor; on the recent disturb arce at Nogaies. He had been gone two weeks.
 As means Of preventing border friction in the future. Genera! Cabell -ecomm ended that barbed wire fence two miles long be built at the bound ary line both rere and at Nogales He was told that this recommendation would be carried out The fence will be built of high iron posts imbedded in cement with wires stretched every six inches. l. will be an effective bar rier against smugglers and fugitives of all sorts.
 The plan was agreed upon between General Cabell and General Gales, governor Of Sonora, at their confer ence at Nogales following the shoot iEg. General Gales as well as Gen eral Cabell favored the idea With the fence in place. all persons will have to pass through the international gate. This will do away with ordering per sons to halt here and there which causes misunderstanding.
 General Cabeli made a report not only to Gen. Peyton C. March. chief of stag. but to the assistant secretary of state and the assistant secretary of the treasury. all of which departments are interested in border affairs. His report and recommendations seemed to be entirely satisfactory to the Washington officials

Direction of all Army Y. NJ. c. A. activities in the entire Southern De pertinent is the large responsibility given to Wilman F.. Adams, Executive Secretary, by the National War Work Council early in the development of the extensive program of the '. NJ. c. A. in Its efforts on behalf of the sol. d;ers.
 Mir. Adams is the administrative head of the territory made up of Texas. Oklahoma. Arkansas. Louisi- ana. New Mexico. and Arizona, in which is located large per cent of the army camps of the entire country. Under his administration the opera uons of the Army T. NJ. C. A have grown until there is now in opera. tioa, or in process of construction, one Y. Nj. c. A. building for every 3.5lO sol- diers located in these Southwestern states. When it is remembered that there are several hundred thousand soldiers in training in the Southern Department camps, including Camp Travis. Camp Pike, Camp Bowie, Camp McArthur, Camp Cody, Camp Doni. phan, Fort Sill. Camp Beauregard, Kelly Field, and the other great flying fields of the department, it will be un- derstood that Mir. Adams occupies position of similar importance to tha: of Major General.
 In addition to the camp activities of the Army '. NJ. c. A. directed by Mfr. Adams and efficiently executed by his army of men in the uniform of the Red Triangle. the Southern Department executive secretary has under his supervision the Army '. NJ. C. A. ac- tivities along the entire Mexican bor- der, from Brownsville, Texas, to Yuma. Arizona, where many Y. Nj. c. A. sta- tions are located. and where fleet of eighteen auto trucks take to the sol diers in isolated places the comforts and pleasures of the '. M. c. A.
 Mir. Adams Is one of the pioneers of the Army Y. NJ. c: A. movement. He was actively identified with the Army ~" work with the troops on the border and in Mexico.

SLIPPER APPLIED BY
 HUBBY BRINGS SUIT

DALLAS. Tex. Sept. l6-Mrs. Yet ty Rotzky. aged 9. is pretty brun- ne;te and bride Of three months. She is affectionate and says she just dear " loved her husbands fond caresses
 But she believes there is limit to the affections of any man. and that limit was reached in her case when her hubby gave her an application of his slipper in a manner which was more painful than soothing.
 Smarting under what she thought was a change in his dismeanor. she laid her case before the minions of the law. Hubby is now in jail and Mrs. Rotzky is seeking divorce.
 At first he used to slap me softly" she declared q liked it. This week he came in from work and said had done wrong. He took his shoe and gave me a regular beating. l don't like his ways now and want to go home to mother"
 Rotzky says that he did not mean to hurt his wife that he was just play ing. Two big bumps on her head and several bruised places on her body convinced the officers that the play was too rough, however, and Rotzky was locked up on a charge of aggra- vated assault
