THE PURPOSES OF THE
LOCAL WOMAN'S CLUB
So ninny Inquiries lmvc come in of
lato concerning tho local Woman's
Club that It Vas decided to publish
an article giving some genoral in
formation in regard to this organiza
tion. Tho club was organized September
23, 1013, nt a general mooting of
womon, nbsorblng and taking tho
namo ct tho Twentieth Century club,
already organized and federated.
The object of tho club is, according
to tho constitution, to stimulate intel
lectual and moral development, to
promote good fellowship among its
members and to strengthen, by organ
izatlon, tholr individual efforts for hu
inanity.
Thoro woro about ono hundred char
ter members and any woman vouched
for by n member may Join by paying
tho annual dues. Tho dues are .$1.50
per year payable at tho first meeting
in Septembor. Tho money dorlved
from this sourco covors all oxponscs
of tho club, such as year books, state
and genoral federation dues, delegates
expenses, etc.
At tho last mooting' it was decided
to suspend tho dues for the remainder
of tho year and Invito all those Inter
ested to work tho remaining months
of the club year without expense or
obligation on tholr part.' If by so do
ing onougu knoro women Join it may

dues.
Tho club wrfrk is divided into de
partments corresponding to thoso of
tho General Federation. Mombers
may enroll in any or all departments
Tho lltoraturo and- domestic scienco
departments bavo proven tho most
popular so far. Tho general club has
dono tho civic work this year, which
lias been in tho main connected with
tho public schools. Recently there
seems to bo a demand for other de
partments, especially ono of political
scienco whero women may study laws
of tho state and nation pertaining to
child labor, property rights, pure
food, peace and many other 'such
topics.
Tho General Fcdoratlon urges all
clubs to study seriously tho intricate
problems of peace and pollticalsci
once, saying "Toward Uicbo vital
phases of our nation's welfare our
women cannot remain indifferent, yet
wlsdo'm In action regarding them is
even moro Important than enorgy".
A mnttor under consideration at the
preaont time Is tho children's garden
project. A number of clubs through
out tho country hnvo taken up tills
work with wonderful success. Cliild-
rcn havo received their first lcsson"jn
handling money and in keeping ac
counts, at tlio samo tinio obtaining
fresh air and out-door exercise.
Tho matter of irrigation and a com
potent supervisor nro problems which
confront tho local club.
Tho Twentieth Century club is a
democratic organization whojo women
of various beliefs and opinions may
meet and finding much good in onch
othor, "strengthen, by organization,
tholr individual efforts for humanity."
Any woman who is Intorested in
any of theso projects or lias other
problems to present Is cordially in
