| The newest civic organization in the
state is the Northwood Women's Civic
league organized Wednesday evening
in that city after a gathering of fifty
club women had listened to an ad-
dress on civic cleanliness given by
Mrs. R.. A. Sprague, of Grand Forks,
chairman of the public health COM
mittee of the state federation and
market and food inspector in Grand
Forks. The members of the Women's
! Literary club of NorthWOod of which
Mrs. H. B. Springer is president be-
came interested in civic work this
spring and soon discovered that the
city's great need was an organized
society to keep it in sanitary condi-
, ton. Consequently they started the
movement for the civic league and
will now proceed to give the city a
| thorough house cleaning.
| The officers elected following the ad-
dress were Mrs. M. A. Linwell, pres
ident; Mrs. A. B. Landt, vice presi-
uent; Mrs. H. Melaas, secretary-treas-
urer; Mrs. o. Bolstad, president of
first ward; Mrs. o. T. Peterson, presi-
dent of Second ward; Mrs H. A. Glas-
rud, president Third ward. The CON-
mittees will be named at the next
| meeting.
After the city has been given it's
housekeeping the league hopes to
have garbage and pure food ordin-
| ance passed. There are forty charter
| members in the league
The Equal Suffrage club of Dickln-
son, N. D., has started a movement
! for a public playground for the youth
| of the city and the work is in the
! hands OF Mrs. E. A. Lillibridge, Mrs.
| J. V. lessen and Mrs. M. L. Ayers as a
committee They have already raised
! a large amount of the necessary
means to carry on the work by popu-
| lar subscription, and as soon as
| competent overseer is secured the
| grounds will be opened.
The plan is to provide for the high
school grounds such apparatus as is
usually found in public Fairgrounds in
other cities, and also to provide ath-
letic instruction and games for the
entertainment OF both boys and girls
under the supervision of a competent
physical instructor. The board of edu-
cation mas already consented to the
J use of the high school grounds and
gymnasium equipment for the summer
months.
Fargo club women, who have been
working for some years to secure a
police matron, will go before the reg
ular meeting of the city council this
week and demand that their wishes be
respected. Their determination is the
outgrowth of the arrest of two Young
girls in that city THIS week and who
were detained in the city Jail for thir-
ty-six hours with none but male at
tendants. Expressions of indignation
came Immediately from such promi-
nent club women as Mrs. Buelah NJ.
Amldon, Mrs. R. NJ. Pollock. Mrs.
Frank J. Thompson, Mrs. E. M. Oar.
row, Mrs. George P HOLSTER, Mrs H.
II. Wheelock, Mrs. M. A Hildreth, Mrs.
N. e. Young and others, and later they
held meeting and decided upon fur.
Their action.
After having been blocked in every
attempt for the past three years and
having seen every petition thew have
presented tabled without consider.
atlon' the club women of that city are
now unit in demanding that the CITY
appoint a competent police matron,
who will be able to tend to such cases
as the one of few days ago when the
TWO girls, 10 and 1e years of age, in
an intoxicated condition, were hauled
to the city bastile on a draw wagon
and left without an attendant until
they were released. The women also
demand that such an officer be given
charge of the probation work and that
young girls when arrested shall be
placed under her charge and that thew
viii be assisted instead of hindered
in their efforts Il roforxn
