Local w. c.. T. U. leaders have
asked us to publish the fact that the
report recently published in the Chi
cago papers and elsewhere to the effect
that the w. G. 7. U. was lining up be-
hind blue law movement and against
the use of tobacco in general was not
correct. The movement was drive
for increased membership. The state
ment is signed by Ella A. Boole, vice
president at large; Frances Parks, cor
responding secretary; Margaret G.
Munns, treasurer, and two other secre-
taries, and it closes by saying: 'There
is no effort being made to effect any
laws regulating activities on Sunday,
nor any campaign for legislation to pro-
hibit the use of tobacco.

if it had come and stayed, instead of
piling up along the roads, fences and in
the timber. This is the worst April |
storm since 1910, but this one did not
do as much damage as the former, be-
cause vegetation was not as far ad-
vauced this year as it was then.
