Phone 56 Alliance Grocery Company ALLIANCE WOMAN'S CLUB Commendable Work Done in the In terest of a Worthy Cause RED CROSS SEAL CAMPAIGN If any of our reader have sup posed that the Woman's Club Nl organized and is being maintained merely for the entertainment of its members, as is the case with some clubs, especially in larger cities, such readers have had a mi. taken idea which W6 wish to dispel We speak more particularly In regard to the Alliance Woman's Club, but what is true of this club is probably also true to a greater or less extent of other woman's clubs. Besides being in last week's big issue of Th the means of imparting to its mem bers a greater degree of social cul ture and affording excellent edu a tional advantages, the Alliance Wo man's Club is one of the most active organizations in the city along benev olent ami charitable lines. Our readers all know something of the effort that is being made in Al liance to sell the Red Croaa Christ ma.s Seals and the object for which they are being sold, namely, to as sist in stamping cut tlx plague, tuberculosis, but we have been dilatory in members of the Alliance Club tlie mead of credit ami prais. deserved for their pan in this great work Many others have be-n interested in the good cause but It remained for the Woman's Club to take the initiative In this city At the beginning of this year's Ked Cross Seal campaign they ordered fifty dollars' worth of stamps, with the determination to sell that ma n or more if prs.ible. We are happy to say that their enterprise has made it necessary to send in a rush order for more. In selling the.se stamps they are permitted to retain tifty per cent of the proceeds tor tin use of the club work if they choose to do so, the other fifty pet cent going to the K.d Cross Society to assist in the work of stamping out tuberc ulosis. Instead, however, of using this for some purpose in which only the mem bers would be interested, they de cided to use it for t-Uc public good. A public drinking fountain is some tltlng that every city ought to have but with which few cities are sup plied. The Woman's Club decided to MM their share of the proceeds of the lied Cross stamp sales this year to erect a public drinking fountain in Alliance. Should the amount be insuffic ient to defray the expense of erecting such fountain as they wish, they will use the amount so MCUre4 as the nucleus of a fund for that purKse. We regret very much that we were not informed in regard to this in time to have published ii Her ald. We are confident, had suffi cient publicity been given to this fact earlier, that the amount raised before Christmas for the fountain would have been ample to cover the cuitire expense of the same, beside raising an equal amount for the worthy cause for which the Ked Cross Seals were originated. Much as we are interested in the efforts that are being made to stamp out tuberc ulosis, we feel like using more great white of the t tamps be aus,- of the ussist- we confess ! ance it win give trie woman s c iui giving the' in their worthy efforts in erecting a Woman's drinking ."Uittain in Alliance In addition to having the U d t msh stamps on sale at different phut, in the city, several ladies, in appropriate lied Cross costumes, have been selling the stamps in the store and on the si reels, realizing twenty three dollars from the sale of th same on Monday alon :-.
