Saturday Evening Meeting

On Saturday evening the anniver-
| sary of the Board of Temperance
and Moral Reform was held with an
address by Rev. Clarence True Will
son, corresponding secretary of that
board of the General Conference.
The Board of Hospitals. Homes and
DeaconeSs Work was addressed by
Rev. L. n. Davis, D. d.
DR.. Wilson delivered a vigorous
| address on prohibition and the need
of more rigid enforcement. He de-
clared that prohibition is here to
stay and that where there are weak
nesses in the law it will be strength
ened and deficient management of
the enforcement provisions will be
remedied by placing the enforce
ment in ADLER hands. Speaking of
the efforts of the organization as
against the prohibition amendment
and other forms of qualifications, DR..
Wilson said in part:
THE associations, whose friends
were given year to get out of the
liquor business and adjust finances
used that time to resist the govern
ment and the vast majority. They
have instigated lawlessness, have ad-
vertised it with evident glee, and
have furnished sentiment which
has sustained the patronized boot
leggers.
IN this contest they have had
many advantages. The after-war
looseness and lawlessness: the SYM
pathy of the many people whose per-
sonal habits were crossed by the
new reform; the abnormal and
diseased appetities of the old soaks
the curiosity of many of the young,
the cupidity and avarice of the class
trained in the liquor traffic and I'M
fitted for everything else helped
them. One of the evil results of en-
gaging in rum selling, gambling or
the maintenance of red-light dis
tricts, is that one is utteely spoiled
for conducting an honest business
and waiting for legitimate profits.
But with all these advantages
they must see by this time that they
are playing a losing game.
They have taken cases in q pro-
cession up to the Supreme Court
and the Supreme Court has sustained
the law and the Constitution and
there has not been disordant
note.
"Prohibition even with the shock
ing number of bootleggers is in
finitely better than the liquor traf-
fic and the license system, and the
sad old days Of rum-rule in Ameri-
can politics and liquor dominance
of American cities.

ITASCA COUNTY.

Itasca County contains within its
borders almost 1000 of the lakes in
Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota.
Its attractions are many and varied,
and space will permit the mention OF
but few.
The motor tourist may reach Grand
Rapids, the county seat, oyer splendid
highways. State road No. 80 leads
in from the south, caring for traffic
from the Twin Cities; while No. 8,
from Duluth, crosses the county and
extends to Crookston and Grand
Forks on the west. No. 35 is paved
from Grand Rapids, through the Mes
aba iron range, and on to Duluth.
Within the county there are over
1 900 miles of county and township
roads, all of them graveled, making
driving a pleasure. Good roads lead
to most of the lakes, and are so ar
ranged that they give a wonderful
panorama of forests and fields, lakes
and streams, in every section of the
county.
Every section of the county has its

at is equally important, too, that the
orphans of that vast army of the dead
be given the benefit of an equal
chance in life with the children of
more fortunate fathers.
"The American Legion has devel-
oped a plan that is sound and busi-
ness-like. 1t has demonstrated its
fitness to handle the task. The
friendly service of this great organi-
zation with its numerous posts and
large membership is needed to impart
the human touch in bringing the dis
abled and the government together.
"To contemplate that $4,000 Am
erican children were made fatherless
by the World War, that 5000 of
these children are in immediate need
of care and education is to realize
our obligation the nations defend
ers and, their dependents"
Already a number of cities and
towns have attained their quotas in
the endowment campaign while each
day is piling up the total of funds
toward the Minnesota goal, it was
pointed out at the state endowment
fund headquarters. However, much
remains to be done, it was stated, and
there will be no slackening of efforts
anywhere along the Minnesota front.

While the Legion Posts of the state
are arranging for Memorial Day SER
vices, Auxiliary units are planning
their Poppy Day sales. Poppy Day
in most cases will be May %, and the
flowers will be worn on May 80.
Posts are helping the units in arrang-
ing for the sales and in cases where
posts have no auxiliaries. the Legion
aires themselves are preparing to sell
the flowers. A number of units are
conducting poster contests among the
school children. Prizes will stimuli
ate interest ins the contests and n
Poppy Day and the posters will be
displayed in the store windows. The
poppies are all made by disabled men,
for the most part in Minneapolis and
st. Paul, and the profits derived from
the sales are used in carrying on
Legion and Auxiliary welfare work
among disabled men and their fam
lilies.

beautiful lakes. Some are large,
such as Pokegama, four miles from
Grand Rapids, with its 173 miles of
shore line; Winpebigoshish, twelve
miles from shore to shore; Big Bow
string, nine miles across, and leading
into many miles of beating water
on the headwaters of the Bigfork
river. Other lakes are small, set
midst towering pine trees, with
smooth sandy beaches where the shy
deer walk in the early mornings and
late afternoons. On many of the
lakes there are summer resorts, where
the visitor may be entertained at rea-
sonable cost. There are about forty
such resorts in the county.
Space does not permit, extended

the marvellous activity Of the iron

the great resources in fish and game.

idea is put into practice, the author

He has not been here in 10 years

The government decides on a rum
running cleanup and certain officials
are designated to handle the affair.
The first act of the appointed official
is to look up the newspaper reporter
and tell him, when, where and how
the raids will take place and be con-
Quoted and whom it is proposed to
capture in the raid. Thus advance
notice is sent out and and naturally,
when the enforcement officer with his
brass band attachment arrives, the
cleanup has been made by the rum
mer and all the officer gets for his
trouble is his pay.
