CLUBS ASKED TO GIVE
NEW CENTURY CLUB HEADS IL
BRARY EQUIPMENT LIST
WITH $1,000
OBJECTION TO COLLECTION
1t Is Believed That the Plan First
Suggested Would Not Serve the
Cause as Well as EnIisting the
Aid of Organizations Already
Formed and Naturally Interested
In the Work. r5

The members of the New Century club
have started the ball rolling toward ths
equipment of the new public library build
ing by contributing $500 for use III the
interior decorations. OF this amount 500
was taken out of the club treasury, AMI
the other $1,000 was made up by the MEM
bers personally. Considering that the
club has but $50 members, this donation
is decidedly liberal, meaning, as 1t does,
$40 for each member. 1t is expected that
other woman's clubs in the city will fol-
and subscribe certain amount toward
the new home for the public library
Many Of the club women in ST. Paul think
this better way than to. raise the money
by taking up a collection.
