The Mengel Box Co., since the wa

working a big force Of men getting
their plants ready for operation, and
by so doing, will have the plants in
operation Monday. The veneer mill

since Tuesday morning, although the
ground Is yet covered with water.
The veneer machines will begin op-
Grafton Friday. and the balance of
the mill Monday. Things are not by
any means dead around those plants,
as the click OF hammers and saws
making the necessary repairs. could
be heard several days ago. The ma

Women's Clubs No Longer
a Joke
By ADA PATTERSON.

w T Hoover attends a conven-
w ton of womens clubs may
60 there to Jest. but re-
mains to wonder and admire The
conviction overwhelms him that
the woman's club has ceased to be
joke. It has passed forever out
of the stage of fads.
Four hundred and eight women.
representing 1000 clubs in the city
of New York met recently to mite
their influence for measure for pub
lie good Nobody read a passage
from Browning and guessed the
riddle of obscurity. Instead. they
talked of practical measures TO
prevent a recurrence of the disas-
ter off Cape Race. Not a word was
spoken about fashion. but every one
was keenly interested in what
would become of families Of pris-
oners. who in the ordinary course
of events would go to the aims
house The women at the meeting
helped to devise a system where
by prisoners may work overtime
and the profits be applied to the
support of the prisoners families
The convention Of the Federation
of Women's Clubs proved that
women have grown. and that. IS
Mrs John Hays Hammond vel
phrased it. "Women's clubs are the
greatest engines of their advance
ment."
The faults Of the sex are being
fast overcome. We have been
charged-and with some reason,
too-with being rather nebulous of
ideas and lacking decision Yet
the women of the convention talk
ed as straight to the point as the
bullet speeds toward its target and
the presiding officer said mo to
the member who was out of order
with officer like precision and. with
one possible exception. the soldiers
obeyed in the same manner.
Women have been inclined to
childish sensitiveness and to impa
tient intolerance of the opinions of
others But these club schooled
women gave every. evidence of sup
preston of the ego They did not
seem to consider themselves nor the
women who sat on their right or
left. Mea sures were everything:
personalities nothing
We have heard that club life
takes women away fro n their
homes. Yet every measure sug-
gested that bore upon the home
held their keenest interest.
A speaker appealed to the ten
derness of their hearts but laid
stress upon the "soundness of thetr
minds the direction of their need
ed growth Women have always
had, viii always have. tender
hearts. Trained mental faculties
are what they need. and this is
what club life is helping them TO
secure It was noticeable that they
were less touched by appeals to
sentiment than by that which is OF
stronger. deeper root-their sense
of justice
Women have been accused Of be
ing natural snobs Yet in their
seats Of honor grouped about the
