Committee Of Forty Women
Met Yesterday Afternoon
and Paved the Way For
Active Campaign.
COMMITTEES ARE NAMED
Two Score of Keokuk Women
Boosters are not Charter
Members, But Are Paving
Way for Action.

The meeting held by the committee
of forty women of the city Saturday !
afternoon in the Y. NJ C. A. auditori-
UNI was the result of suggestion
made at the annual meeting of the In
dustrial Association, to the effect that
a civic organization of women could
accomplish much needed work in I,
Keokuk.
Public sentiment was created in IA
vor of a civic organization by mum
Der of articles contributed by the wo.
to discuss ways and means was call
ed by some of the members of the
Woman's Club at the residence of
Mrs. w. J. Roberts, 723 Orleans Ave.
Mrs. William Ballinger presided at
this meeting and a committee of five
were appointed whose duty it should
| be to name one woman from each
ward, this woman to select one other
woman in her own ward, then these
/ two to select three others, thus max
| ing a committee of five chosen in a
unique way.
Not Charter Members.
The plan of appointing a large COM
mittee has been found to be an eff
4 fectual way of speedily organizing a
civic league with members from all
parts of the city. These forty women
are not the charter members. They
are only to plan ways and means Of
perfecting all organization which shall
be city wide in it's membership.
The meeting was called to order at
three O'Clock by Mrs. Geo. d. Rand.
who served as chairman during the
afternoon Mrs. w. ]. Roberts was
appointed secretary. Mrs. Rand intro
/ duced Mr.. G. r. Joy, chairman of the
Industrial Association who spoke on
some of the practical things which a
woman's organization could do in the
cleaning and identifying of the city.
He said in part:
The most essential thing in accom-
plishing any civic work is to get the
approval of the public. The Indus
trial association has appointed five
committeeman in every ward Just as
you have done and in cooperation We
ought to do much toward making Keo-
4 kuk clean city.
Result in Other Places.
Spokane for six years has had an
annual cleaning day in which the
men, women and children have had a
part. AS result Spokane is not only
a beautiful city, but a healthy city
lin which to live, as the death rate has
appreciably decreased.
To clean the alleys and yards OF
this city in one day would probably
accumulate into piles of sufficient
ashes and refuse to necessitate the
use of seventy-five teams to cart the
dirt away. This would cost perhaps
$3.50 or $3.50 block or fifteen cents
a lot. Were this expense borne by
the individual house holders the
amount would be nominal 1t would
be well to have a general tree trim
ming The city authorities have prom
: Used that they will clean the cutters
We hops this. day OF cleaning O
the streets and alleys and yards vii
be SO successfully and so willingl.
done that it will become an annua
event, until the time shall come wheI
we all shall appreciate health ant
beautiful surroundings sufficiently u
keep clean all the time.
