Club Meetings No Longer News

TN partc-, has there been greater change than
in the attlcu1e of newspapers toward the woman's
club. Twenty ears ago every club meeting kind
of first night The reporters out in full force, and
the next morning the club had column under scare
head, and it consido ed news Nothing of that
kind nowadays. A club has to have regular "hair
pulling in order to get into the newspapers. Clubs
and their programs receive any notice, unless it
may possibly be the suffrage clubs and they only when
the leaders conspicuous socially Years ago it was
the fashion to treat the club meeting with a certain
masculine condescenson The city editor liked have
the girl reporter mention the presidents bonnet with
levty, and grow facetous the speeches, of
which were read from essay paper.
But no longer this. Clubs ignored as COM
pletely by the newspapers though they no longer
existed. No do reporters listen at keyholes or
try to unlimited. The reporters have forgotten
all about the club, although women have developed
long past the encyclopedia age when they prepared
papers with the idea of being profound although they
have vital things to say.
Wife was reporter herself when she was a girl
which is how | come to know anything about it. For
years and years she had tale of about her ex-
perences in reporting Soross, which was about the
only club there was twenty-five years ago. There

indignant tears from rock; but it sounds odd
that there should even have been mention of it. You
see, SorosiS always looking for a complimentary
report in the next mornings paper; but it
tended to reporters the courtesy of luncheon ticket
Soross always serves luncheon. This made the girl
reporters pretty mad and sometimes a reporter who
had more temerty than the Others would roast" the
meeting. 1t all account of this grievance, said
Wife, that the inhospitabe treatment finally got on
the reporters nerves; because you the clubwomen

While womenS clubs unfederated it didn't make

she was always unhappy be-
cause she couldn't think on

had a friend, a clubwoman from
Chicago, come to visit her, and
she was piping the old strain l
had SO often heard, about not
being able to think on her feet
as the other women did. The
Chicago woman regarded her
intently for a moment, and then
said:
"Emeline, do l gather from
your remarks that you are so
green you actually think that all
the clever speeches we hear in
club meetings are impromptu?"
II like to think they are.
They sound So" reasoned Wife

said the forceful. plain spoken
Chicago woman. "Those
speeches that sound so smooth
have been rehearsed for weeks
and weeks"
Wife looked thoughtful. She
sighed; but she profted, and
now when she is called upon for
an impromptu speech she is
prepared. She begins by saying
how unprepared she is. This is
for artistic effect, and by the
time she finishes up this point
she has found herself.

Candidate For Representative

To the Voters of Audubon County:
After mature consideration and CON
sultation with many Republicans of the
county announce myself a candidate for
Representative, subject to the decision
of the Republican Primary. In making
my announcement fully recognize the
prejudice apparently existing in this
county against third term. If you will
take time to look up the legislative
career of prominent and forceful mem
bers of the General Assembly in the past
history of Iowa, both Republican and
Democrat, you will find many OF them
served from four to eight terms in the
House and Senate, and some of them
six terms in the House. My past legis-
lative service is matter of public record
and if satisfactory | can assure you with
my experience | will be able to serve
you better in the future / am very
much in favor of laws enforcing better
service on branch lines of railroad and
for the improving and lettering the
wagon roads of our state
