TENTH ANNIVERSARY.

The Entire Nous club celebrated its
tenth birthday last Saturday at the
commodious home of Mrs. c. Helm.
The regular business was omitted
and social afternoon was spent. A
short program was rendered COM
posed of appropriate rhymes, the
composition of Mrs. A. Rosenheim,
and the club history, read by it's
author, Mrs. L. J. Weaver. This
history has been written from year
to year and read occasionally, but
seemed to be more thoroughly en-
joyed on Saturday, it's final reading.
A copy of this history will be placed
in the corner stone of the Carnegie
library building, as the Entire Nous
club is one of the prime promoters
of this movement. )
There are now only four charter
members of the Entire Nous club,
namely: Mesdames Helfrich, Cowen,
Payne and Weaver These ladies
certairly feel repaid for their ten
years labor and with the other men,
bers are ready to commence another
years work.
The club adjourned to meet with
Mrs. L. B. Green, April IL, after
which the hostess and her assistants
were lauded with praise for the sue
cess of this anniversary, and the
lingering "good-byes" were said for
this time.

Mrs. Butterfield, state president of
woman's clubs, visited the Current
Event club Saturday afternoon. An
interesting meeting on civil service
reform was conducted by the club,
after which Mrs. Butterfield gave
the club members an interesting and
instructive talk on civil service and
also touched upon local option which
was appreciated much by all.
Mrs Richards rendered two pretty
solos and Mrs. Archbold and Mrs.
Clifford Hayes favored the club with
sweet music.
The meeting was held at the home
of Mrs. Hoover and delicious re-
freshments were served.
Alarge number of club members
were present.
Mrs. l.. D. Stroup is our press
member for the Portia at Payette.
She is one of our most interested
members and is keeping a file of
Echoes for future reference. We wish
each one of our press committee
would do the same and leave it for
legacy to the club she represents. 1t
is very light task to cut OUT the
Echoes page, write the date at the
top and place in large envelope
each week. We are broadening our
work each week and another year we
hope to be in close touch with each
club Of the state and have reports
from chairmen of each committee.
This will make Echoes an historical
reference book that will prove to the
advantage of all club women for fut-
ure work. Again, we urge each cor
respondent to keep a file of Echoes
for future use in your club.

SWEET POTATO WEEVIL AT BARBA-

The best methods for dealing with the
sweet potato weovii CS~carabeer or 'Jacobs'),

of The island by Mr.. II. A. Ballou, MISC,
Entomologlst to the Imperial Department
Of Agriculture.
1t was pointed out that one of the first
points to receive attention, whom q crop was
attacked, Should be the destruction of all
infected potatoes, either by burning, boiling
or burying with lime. In clearing a field of
q sweet potato crop, it is important (whether
the plants are infested or Do) to clean ND
all pieces OF vines and roots, so that DO food
supply whatever is left for the weevils. II
pieces Of potato are put down in heaps at
frequent intervals, these serve to attract the
pests, which may then he collected and dcs-
