You seem to doubt my assertion
that the over three thousand women
of our organization approve OF my
letter to you. You seem to overlook
the fact that the fundamental prin-
ciple of our organization from its
foundation in 1874 has been for the
overthrow of the legalized liquor
traffic by education, agitation, and
organization; and since the traffic
has been outlawed, we as an organi-
zation stand solidly for the 18th
Amendment and for the enforcement
laws. as all loyal patriotic citizens
should. Within the last few weeks 1t
has been my pleasure to attend coun-
ty conventions in each of our three
counties also two meetings held IN
the city Of Wilmington, one of which
it was reported to have had an at
tendance of a thousand people, at
each of these meetings besides the
addresses and resolutions urging
rigid law enforcement the following
stirring song was sung, part OF which
1 quote:
"Here in Uncle Sammy's Land is a
Law-abiding band,
Which upholds the Constitution and
it's enemies withstand;
It is held in fond esteem as the
Word of God Supreme,
And the one who violates 1t, is an
outlaw

WHY NOT TRY THIS?

We've often wondered why people
wait until spring to do a lot of odd
jobs around the house that could be
done just as we'll now, while there
is more time to devote to such
things. If there is a little inside
painting to do there is no reason
why it can't be done, in a lot OF
instances. before spring arrives. Op-
ening the windows an inch or so at
top and bottom in chilly weather is
not going to hurt anything, and the
paint pob will dry quickly with even
that much fresh air Locks and
hardware patching on the inside of
the house can be looked after now
just as we'll as in the spring, when
there is so much demanding atten-
tiOn. The man or woman who &C.
complishes something now that ordi-
narily would be put over until spring
will find themselves ahead of their
neighbors when the regular spring
season does arrive, and they will
also find that a lot on energy has
been saved by doing all the odd jobs
possible in the winter months.
