Mrs. L. F. Harris, president of the central union, announces meeting for next Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock in the local headquarters. After the devotional exercises and the regular routine business, the members will hear addresses from two candidates. Mrs. Myrtelle Shell, candidate for associate commission CT, will tell "Why a Woman Should Be on the Board of City Commis- sioners;" w. B. Cloe, another candi- date for associate member, will tell the ladies what he hopes to accom- plish, if elected on October 10.
 A cordial invitation is extended to all members and all ladies interested in temperance work to be present at this interesting meeting.
 Plans will be announced for the continuance of the membership drive" during the month. which was halted during the vacation days on account of so many members being out of the city. Now that they are returning the work will be pushed until the desired quota Is reached.

had voted dry and in the rural districts strong temperance senti- ment prevails.
 "The result of prohibition has been to lessen the number of inmates in jails and prisons, decrease the in mates of the poor houses and greatly diminish the number of cases to be helped by charity organizations. Best of all, young men are not learning to drink.
 Need Enforcement
 we do, however, need sentiment for law enforcement. We need state enforcement laws. We need to inn press upon the individual citizen the fact that the eighteenth amendment is a s much part-of the constitution as any other amendment. We need to show the masses of people inter- ested In good government the impor- tance of calling attention to what has been accomplished through prohibi- ton instead of dwelling too largely On it's violations. Our slogan is The enforcement of all law for laws other than the Volstead act and the eighteenth amendment to the fed eral constitution are violated. It Is a great thing to have the law on our side"
 Miss Anderson of the North Dako- la Woman's Christian Temperance union says: The people of North Da- kota are justly proud of their great public school system. with It's mag nificent endowment fund, and of the record which this prohibition state has made in its low percentage of illiteracy and Juvenile delinquency. They also take pride in the fact that in the darkest days of the fight for a dry nation. North Dakota held high the torch of prohibition and helped to light the way to national constitu- tional prohibition"

AGED MAN GIVEN PRISON SENTENCE Bill Reagin Pleads Guilty to Charge of Robbing
 Postoffice

"Bilp' Reagin, alias George Watson who was arrested in Yazoo City, Miss. about two weeks ago and confessed to officers at that place that he had robbed the post office at Calera, Ala, several months ago, yesterday pleaded guilty to that charge in the federal court, and was sentenced to five years in the federal penitentiary at Atlnnta by Judge w. l. Grubb.
 Reagin is 77 years old, and is be- lieved by post office inspectors to have robbed a number of post offices in Alabama. Mississippi, and Louisi- ana during the past 10 years. He is said to have confessed that he had been in the yeggman, buasiness for 15 years.
 Reagin had given Jim c. Smith as- sistant district attorney a written confession with the proviso that he was to be sentenced to only three years and not prosecuted on other charges. The court, however, refused to assent to this proposition, and the confession was returned to him unopened.
 Reagin is said to have consump- tion, and due to his advanced age. it is thought that he will hardly be able to live out his sentence,
