The Woman's Club Of Minot

Someone has said that in Minot the
men are too busy in making money to
spare the time in which to think how
best to spend it, Could that be why
our streets are forever crying aloud for
a house-cleaning? We have heard that
cleanliness is next to godliness. II the
men think they have no time nor money
to help their town to such desirable
reputation, then it is surely time for the
women to form club and do their little
best to save the name Of NJ mot from the
dump-pile. e4, ,
Woman is proverbially prone to neat
ness, as many man asked to wipe his
shoes before crossing the threshold can
testify. If our lords and masters are
satisfied with street wide enough for
drays and farm wagons to pass each
other easily, should we not suggest to
them that trees, clean sidewalks and
cutters and sprinkled roads are things
too important to be forgotten? II they
throw envelopes in the gutter as they
leave the postoftice and dump their
waste baskets into the streets, may we
not remind them that such is NOT good
municipal house. cleaning? A house
keeper feels pride in the neat appear
ance Of her door step aud sidewalk.
May she not suggest to the store keeper
that he also do his part in behalf of our
city::and takelaipride in the cleanliness of
the sidewalks aud gutter that cross his
doorway? Can the natural gallantry of
man pay US no heed, refuse to consider
our suggestions or permit us, after
sweeping their homes, to descend to
their streets with our mops and brushes?
An entertainment, for tho benefit of
the city, will be given at Jacobson

Those who fail to 60 will miss one Of the
most beautiful and instructive enter
tainments ever given in Minet. To
those Of us who cannst SEQ the great
world for ourselves, what greater chance
could there be to satisfy our thirst for
travel! To see the scenes of ancient
Greece before us and to hear about
them from one of our own citizens is
next to travel itself.

to Ro-both jewellers in Minot and in the
neighboring country. The evening
