Clubdom in Rocky Ford and Vicinity
Z ID L IL L <

certainly Il much favored spot, as
there are more womens clubs in and
around Rocky Ford than any other
town OF its size in the state. and in
our selection of subject OF general
interest we felt that the clubs and
their workings would come in for a
fair share OF interest to all present
We will be brief as possible, as time
Will not permit us to go into details
OF all the good done by this spirit
OF clubdom which is contagious and
its influence is felt in every state in
the union for the betterment OF con-
ditions in general.
There are several clubs OF which
we will not make special mention, as
they are OF purely social nature,
but not lacking in merit however. 1t
has been our pleasure and profit to
visit a number OF these clubs and we
enjoyed them so much that we
thought it GOOD thing to pass on
to the other cluD sisters. We all
know of the Tuesday club, and its
unTIsalcd reputation as being the old
est. the best read. and foremost en-
tertainers of male men" OF any 'fe-
male women" in the city. To the
women folk OF this club no obstacle
is too high for them to surmount, and
ii they md themselves short on
funds with which to feed their book
worm tastes. they simply cconomizc
in their feminine fancics by the get
ting to either well assorted lot OF
millinery lcft-overs, give party to
the male portion OF the club and
have each man trim an Easter bon
net, so these female women and blue
stocking wives may have the hat
money with which to buy more books
TO satisfy their literary appetitcs.
NOW. isn't this proof positive that
club women are progressive, inven-
tive and ingenious: Aside from lit
crary standpoint this club stands first
in lending helping hand to the
needy as many families testify year
ly to the generosity of this club. Long
live the Tuesday Club ladies and may
their good works go on forever!
The Twentieth Century Club OF
Star Valley come. i'll for full meas
urc OF notice, yes and praise: also
these ladies all live on ranches and
their home duties are legion, but in
spite OF all this and in the face OF
many hindranccS and interruptions,
these ladies' have demonstrated be
yOnI doubt that they are brain as
well as Drawn workers. They have
what we think a heavy course OF
work-"Thc Boy Nicw"-and VIC all
know that this course does not mean
nlav il the work and lessons are
properly prepared. We have attend
ed several of their meetings. and VIII
say for the Twentieth Century club
that their work was 4 credit to any
womcn's club. and an incentive 10 the
visiting members to get busy or the
country clubs will be wearing the
laurcls.
The Country Club east OF town is
one OF which we can not speak too
highly. 1t is composed OF women
who are cultured and OF literary in
clinations, but whose time is limited.
But b. the organization of this club
these women get tOgCtacT Cncc
week and excl angc idea. TLcV also
read il this club. The Lest books
are selected. the most clcNating class
OF literature i read and discussed.
Th. mc-i.S and dement's OF the book.
the authors motive. etc. so that each
member gets Jar better idea OF the
book than as though she had read
bv rcrsclf alone. besides the pleasure
OF the nciphborly intercourse. 1t
breaks the monOtonous round OF du-
tics on the farm and gives one some
thing to take home. \ something
that li~htens the heart. briGhtcns the
mind and cnlargcs the ideals and
helps one to be better and broader
minded woman. And the sweet So
cial intercourse OF such meeting
made us. visitor. feel that it was
GOOD to be there.
The Entire Nous Club deserves
s-ecial mention, we think. as a pure
