Sunday Morning.
The Sunday sessions of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
are always very far reaching in
their influence. In the morning, the
convention sermon was preached by
Mrs. Maude B. Perkins, National
secretary of the Young Peoples
Branch of the w. C. T. U. The de-
yotions were conducted by DR.. ]. l..
Daniel, pastor of the Central Metho-

aSomebody Knows"
Mrs. Perkins attended the previ-
Gus convention of the W. c. T. U. in
Manning, and so pleased were the
delegates that she was invited a Sec
ond time, and many expressed them
lselves as hoping she would be per-
manent convention visitor. Mrs. Per

taken from Matthew 1928, 20 wo-

liability"

nation to offset some of this whiskey
propaganda which is, that business
under prohibition had so failed thai
all places previously occupied by sa'
looms or barrooms were empty. Mr.
Lightfoot investigated this and in Co,

viously used for these purposes is oc.

whatever business it might receiv.
ing better salaries and the property
worth more than ever before. The
statement was also made that there
were as many blind tigers in dispen.
sary and saloon days as there are to-
day, and many more. Today we are
rid of the licensed saloon foreve,
which was the dispenser of more Ii
quor in a day than the blind tiger
could possibly be in a month, be-
cause of the secrecy which must
necessarily attend blind tiger, and
these will be gradually eliminated
and are being speedily brought to
justice.
