,,r.. Dee,xer to Club women.

Mrs. Decker to Club Women.
 Mrs Sarah Platt Decker, Preslde1e of the General Federation Of Women Clubs in a message to the New York Federation, recommends the creation oL a new "profession" for women, that of elubwonian. She prefaces her address with the definition given by President Faunce of Browns University, of trade and profession, Trade is occupation for a livelihood; profession Is occupation for the service of the world"
 I've home women" said Mrs. Deck CT, 'swho make up the bulk of the Fed eration workers have never had any profession. Why not establish one for ourselves? It need in no manner inter fere with our duties to home and fam fly. It may be distinct from our so- called society life. It should not make the slightest differences in our devotion to church. It is a separate and distinct obligation and pleasure. and may be made by us so fine and veritable. so sound and true that it will beeonhe q mighty and potent force in the build ing of the State and nation.
 'aTo set forth the curriculum neces- sary to attain a degree in this chosen profession: The course of study pre- scribed is represented by the standing committees of the General Federation of Womens Clubs. Here gre the vital interests they represent;
 "Art: Are there any public art works or possible opportunities of teaching genuine art to the children of-ty0nr State or city? What is your contribu- ton as a State toward making Anaerida an artistic nation9
 "Civics: Have you parks and public grounds in. every city? How about san. itation; are there any measures taken to pfevent tuberculosts7
 "Civil service reform: Are the help less and slok in your State under the care of trained and experienced assist ants or at the mercy of, political ap- pointees?
 s'Education: How many illiterates fin your State? How about a compulsory education law. truant laws. proper schooihouses, women on school boards? What Is the condition of your rural schools? Let every club adopt one school and make 1t their child.
 Forestry: Is your State losing It's friends and servants. the trees2
 ''FIousehoId economies: To make our work at home a science to be studied and loved, instead of drudgery to be dreaded. To spread abroad the doe- Urine of good hone-making.. through Kitchen, gardens. individual teaching and cooking school for the many.
 Industrial and child labor; How many child workers has your State? what laws urevail7 How are working women paid and cared forf
 Legislative: Work for humane and just Legislation. indorsing very few measures and bending our efforts to enforcement of laws.
 Library extension: How many free libraries in your Slater How many needed to make proper progress in inc tellectual growth? How many lonely people lacking the means for obtaining the simplest reading matter?
 "Literature: Making your programs harmonious, genuine. study. not only in our own language. but also of other tongues, that we may rank with wo- men of foreign lands.

table in large wash bowls, whole hams
waste away TO mere nothingness, and all

are soon gone but not easily forgotten.
All finally reach home feeling that pot

thing in winning the prize that could be
done fairly. Her wide acquaintance
made her success possible, and those
who are interested in the contest are
glad that the prize landed upon her
shoulders
Miss Etoile Allen is resident of Paw
Paw and has no mean showing in the
contest, standing second high. Her
efforts IN securing votes have been more
than amply crowned with success. Her
success is due to much labor and time
spent, and those who are interested in
her final outcome in this battle of votes
feel that she has made fine showing.
Mrs. c. l. Bowen who resides on
route 8 from Paw Paw, has made a re-
markable showing, and her wide circle
of friends rejoice in her success in the
venture. Her friends assure us that she
would have made the winner of the first
prize hustle, if her work had not kept
her so closely confined.
Among the others who won prizes
were Miss Pearl Sidenius of Lawrence,
Mrs Jay Trescott of Paw Paw and Miss
Hazel Dansby of Paw Paw. All of these
contestants made record runs.
The True Northerner is we'll satisfied
with the showing made by the several
contestants and by the manager, John
A. Dempsey. Mr.. Dempsey gave his
personal attention to the contest, and it
is in great measure due to his careful
work that the contest was a success
The combined efforts of the several con
testants, under the managers careful in
structions have resulted in The True
Northerner getting seven hundred new
subscribers and the collection of several
hundred dollars in old subscription ac-
counts.
The methods employed by Mr. Dempsey
have been commendable. He has not
seen the need of using the harsh methods
often employed in the collec tion of ac-
counts, and the people working with
him have not been permitted to adopt
that means of getting money or sub
scriptions. Taking everything into con-
sideration, the management of the True
Northerner feels gratified at the outcome
of the contest and congratulate Mr..
Dempsey and the several prize winners
During Mr.. Dempsey's stay in Paw
Paw be has been found by this paper
and by the business men with whom he
has come in contact to be thoroughly re-
liable in his dealings and cour eous
and gentlemanly at all times

announced that it would conduct con-
test and that prizes would be given to
contesta nts, and the plan was fully set
forth in the issue of that date. From
the beginning the proposition met with
the hearty approval of the puolic and
several young ladies Immediately en-
tered the contest. With the details of
the contest the public is well acquainted
as from week to week hundreds have
watched it's progress with keen interest.
The purpose of the contest, as was un-
derstood, was to increase the already
large circulation of the paper, therefore
making its advertising space more valu-
able to its patrons, aud they have not
been slow to take advantage OF this op-
portunity to present their business to
the public, as reference to the advertis-
ing col lumns will show.
Thousands of votes were cast before
o'clock Wednesday night and it was a
race to the finish, in which the contest
ants never stopped until they passed
under the wire. Among those who were
contesting general good feeling reigued
throughout. All feeling that the affair
was conducted upon strictly fair
and square basis and that all had an
equal show. Labor and pains we're not
spared to have every body satisfied and
it is a satisfaction to both manager and
the True Northerner that it was poss-
ble for such feeling to exist throughout t
the entire race.
The winner Of the contest, Miss Min
ME Welch, is a resident of Paw Paw, and
as is demonstrated by her ability to get
votes, she certainly has the ability to
mix with everybody and leave a good
impression. Her efforts in the contest
