The Ladies' Progressive club of Gas
City has lost its president and organ
izer in the removal of Mrs. Media
Wolfe to Vincennes, Ind. This loss is
felt far beyond the limits of her club,
as Mrs. Wolfe had been vice-president
in the Second District federation,
where her force and her sweetness
were felt. She was also a member of
the Sorosis of lola, but her best work
was done in Gas City, where she will
be missed indeed.
Some time ago I devoted consider
able space to the clubs of Riley county,
and am very glad to report still later
through the kindness
of "our' Mrs. Mary f. Greeley. She
tells us of the HeliantEus Library club
of Leonardville, which was organized
August, 1904. There are now eigh-
teen members, and the club has fitted
a room with necessary furniture for
library. Not only this. By giving en-
and bazars, they have
purchased 200 books, to which they
have added a travelling library. Their
club work is to promote a taste for
good literature, and for moral and So
cial advancement-sur a worthy
platform, which is again voiced in
their motto: Reaching outward and
upward; seeking the light" President,
Mrs. L. Lind; vice president, Mrs S. NJ.
secretary, Mrs. Gertrude
Srack; treasurer, Mrs. J. C. Ford: Ii
orarian, Miss Maude Ford.
A new literary club, called the

house and hold the meetings of the |
,lub there. The officers ELECTED were:
President Miss Stella Swihgle; vice |
PRESIDENT, Miss Nellie Davies; secre- |
airy, Miss Mile Mitchell; treasurer.
Hiss Floy Caldwell: corresponding Sec
etary, Miss Glare Robbins.
Following close upon the news of
his promising club came the word |
hat its president had died very sud
orrow to the little band of workers,
md will tend to dishearten them, but |
hope they will gather the threads of |
heir purpose and go on, as she who
vas their leader would have them.
Among other clubs which have re-
ported recently is one from Alma
Domestic Science club, while letters
ave gone to Grainf1eld. Frankfort,
'leasanton, Ashland, and other places
living information and instruction in
egard to organization.
One of the prettiest calendars of the
ear has come from the Pittsburg c.
I. s. c. This club, which was indi-
ectly due to the club department of |
|

rite The circle is following the cur
ent Chautauqua readings, and sends
ut a book in shades of brown and
old which is a delight to the artistic
ense.
The letter just reported as having
cen written to Pleasanton received a
cry prompt and cheering reply, in the
orm of news of an organization al
eady affected. The Cleaner club fed
