reason is they are working for the
helping of their fellow citizens and the
identifying and improving of the To-

get themselves elected presidents.
The clubs l mean are the rural i'm

and men of such a town that they got
away from it as soon as they could.
In that old style town children ran riot,
and brutal drivers beat horses at will.
These are the things the women's
