WILL AID MARRIAGE

AFFINITY CLUB.
Scarcity of Maids Results in Society
Which Plans to Import Women
Organization to Pay
Wedding Expenses.

Spokane, Wash.-Designed to solve
the problem of the scarcity of mar
riageable young women in the island
empire, the Spokane Affinity club has
been organized in this city by 25 bach
elors under 80 years of age.
The society proposes to bring 5000
young women into the Spokane coun-
try from the eastern states, find en-
ployment for them, and act as genera.
sponsor. When any of the imported
young women is convinced that sh"
has found her soul-mate all marriagl
expenses will be borne by the club, in
cluding the license, the minister's fee,
wedding dinner and flowers.
]. c. Power Brown, secretary of the
Spokane mining brokers' exchange, is
president of the new society. The
secretary and treasL er is Wallace A.
McBurney, vice president and man
ager of the Falls City Lumber COM
pany, and the manager of the society
is Cadwallader Jones, manager of the
United States Steel and Equipment
company.
The membership is drawn from the
best circles of Spokane society. AS a
member must have property of value
greater than $1,000, they are all
eligible young men and entirely liable
In case they find their affinity amon'
the importations. Branches are to b.
instituted in every city and town o!
more than 500 inhabitants throughout
the inland empire.
Shortly after the organization of the
club President Brown gave out the
following statement:
"The purpose of the club is to in
duce young women to come into this
district. There is scarcity of young
women in the northwest, and the in
land empire is no exception. l am not
overestimating the fact when | say
that 5000 women between the ages OF
20 and 80 years could find good hus-
bands and comfortable homes in Spo-
kane alone. This may seem an ex-
travagant statement in a city of nearly
100, 900 population, but the fact is that
many more men than women have
come into the city during the last Is
months.
THE first step in the campaign to
bring young women into the country
will be to write to our friends and ac-
quaintances in the old homes in the
middle, western, eastern, southern and
New England states and eastern Can
ada, urging them to come to II north
west, and then prevail upon them to
write to their girl acquaintances. In
that way a chain system will be es-
tablished and the problem finally
solved
Amy man between the ages of 25
and 40, industrious and of good char.
acter, and possessed of at least $1,000,
or its equivalent in realty, is eligible
to membership in the club

house figures as s35 charge.

Bonanno, who was calling on her very
frequently, and he promised her a
present and sent her the bird house

suit.
