chairman, will conduct a rumnage sale
for the benefit Of the building fund

fine large room in the Owyhee at the
corner Of Main and Eleventh streets

! open which may be for a week or even
more The annual rummage sale of
the Columbian club serves a twofoid
purpose. 1t benefits the building fund

Its greater value, however, lies in the
fact that it fills want deeply felt in
a certain worthy class Of Bosses citi-
zens, our people of very limited means
who cannot afford to pay the large
prices which would be demanded were
the articles offered for sale entirely
new. AS 1t is, many of these are SO
i Slightly worn as to be almost new and
as all articles are donated, the club
can afford to sell them at very rea-
sonable figure and still make money.
A large number of hats have been re-
trimmed by members of the club and
these are particularly attractive.
Wooden underwear. cloaks, coats, shoes
and stockings. mems wear, useful
household articles, brio a brac, etc.,
are all for sale at very modest prices.
1t is hoped that many will avail them
selves of the sale this year.

Women As Presidential Electors.
\ All women who believe in suffrage,
whether Republicans or Democrats,
will agree that the honor conferrc1
upon Mrs. May Scott Workman of
Idaho was an honor appreciated per-
sonally by every woman voter of the
suffrage states. True. Mrs. Worth
man is a very distinguished woman
and Idaho is exceedingly proud of her.
The honor was deserved by either wo-
man or man of Mrs. Worthman's char
acter and intelligence The signifi-
cence Of the matter. however, lies in
the fact that 1t was woman who thus
honored. OF all the suffrage states.
Idaho has probably witnessed among
her men the deepest feeling of chival-
ry. The chivalry which has at hea It
the highest respect for woman and her
ultimate good. Idaho women love and
respect May Scott Workman and ir-
respective of political belief rejoicad
that a woman had been selected for a
position OF such honor.
