THE CLUB WOMAN's CREED.

The following creed for club women
was read by u Mrs. Wilson of New
Castle at a meeting of club held at
that place. 1t will interest many here:
II believe in afternoon club life for
women
Il believe in evening club life for
men and women together, when it does
not rob the home of father or moth
er
II believe that woman has no right
to undertake. any WOTA whatsoever
philanthropy. church, temperance or
club life, that does not emanate from
the home and in it's final and best re
suits return to the home Home must
always be the center, but not the
limit of woman's life.
Il believe in equal rights in the fam
lily for father and mother; in intelli
gence, affection and filial respect
These the club should foster
Il believe in nine-tenths Of the mem
bers doing the work and one-tenth the
criticising, instead of the reserve
| believe in individual responsible =,
for every interest of the club, mutua
sympathy and appreciation of results
Il believe in the value of minute
and that thieving of time on the part
of one late member from those in wait
ing is reprehensible. Railroad trains
do not; why should immortal souls?
Il believe that club members shoulC
restrain from whispering or the rust
ling of skirts or papers during club
sessions.
II believe the character and goot
name of each individual member O.
the club should be as sacredly guard
ed by all other members as are those
of the family, and that the use of dis
honorable political methods in clut
life for women will be the death knel
of the club

Robert Burdette.

High School Notes.

Gladys Goocher is again back at
school after spending two weeks at the
hospital.
The ball team met at the Taylor stu
do and had their pictures taken few
days ago.
Much attention is being paid to the
class play and everyone is assured
their moneys worth.
The ball team defeated the Riceville
high school team on Friday afternoon
by a score of 10 to S.
Some few of the pupils seem to be
having touch of "Spring fever" but
the majority are doing their best.
The costumes for the class play have
been ordered from a Chicago firm. 1t
is the aim to make the play this year
the most artistic production ever seen
in Cresco.
The six sophomores who are men,
bers of the base ball team had the
pleasure of having class after school to
made up their studies which were
missed while they were away playing
ball. 1t is credit to the class to have
six of the eleven men on the team.
Many of the pupils are forced to
make up work, some on account of
playing base ball, and others who ac-
company the team when they go to
other towns. The last six weeks be-
ing we'll started, the pupils are chuck
ling down" to the studies with inten-
tions to win out at the close of the
term.
The trip to Harmony was very in
convenient to some of the boys, as no
teams could be obtained at the livery
barn. Some Of the players got back
at 80 p. m. the same day and some
at 80 the next morning. These latter
beg US not to describe their appearance
as they came in town with the back
wheels of their carriage where the
front wheels ordinarily are.
The following poem appeared in the
last issue of the Classical Index, pub
lished by the Iowa State Hellenic Soci-
ETY. at Fairfield, Iowa. 1t is metrical
translation of passage from Virgil's
Aneid by Leone Graf, of the class of
1911.
UGLY DAME GOSSIP.
Long ago there lived goddess
Who was destined first by fate
To wander Ger the earth and heavens
And only gossip to relate.
People called the goddess Rumor.
Rumor is she called to-day.
Though many years in flight have passed
Gossip she must tell away. us,
Strange indeed was this child Rumor,
Hideous to look upon;
For her person all was covered
With dress of snow white down.
How came SHE by such strange vesture?
Why on such mission sent?
Sad to tell is the greWsome story =.
Once Earth wished her wrath t" vent;
For because Of some gods scorning,
Angry she at once became;
So to Ceus and Enceladus
Bore she sister strange of fame,
Odd indeed as companions;
None inspired her with fear;
Every feather on her person
Had its special eye and ear.
Thus she would in all her wanderings
Over earth and over sea
Gather in stray bits of gossip
And whatever they might be
Would expand them and enlarge them,
Though at first they were very small;
Nothing would she let escape her
But she whispered them to all.
Sad to say, this goddess Rumor
Is possessed with one main thought:
Tells alike both truth and fiction
Trouble hath she ever wrought.
