At the yearly meeting of Friends, just closed at Lawrence, Earle K. DeLay, of Kmporia, was chosen to superintend the work of the temperance committee of the church during the next year in the yearly meeting which covers Kansas, Oklahoma, and a few meetings in Missouri.

Friday evening, October 12, was the temperance session of the yearly meeting.

The address was made by Mrs. K. T. St. John, of Salina.
