The HOUSEWIVES
Met YESTERDAY
MANY PLANS ARE FORMULATED
FOR THE WINTERS WORK AT
FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR
ALL HOUSEWIVES ASKED TO JOIN
THE LEAGUE.

The Housewives league held their
first meeting of the season yesterday
afternoon at the Civic center. This
was a business meeting and many plans
were formulated for the winters work.
Mrs. G.. L. Martin, as president of the
organization, presided over the meet
ing and the reports of the various
committees were heard early In the
afternoon. A few changes were MADE
in the constitution and bylaws n d
membership campaign was started. =
Every housewife in the city is urged
to join this organization. A meeting Is
held at the Civic center the first wed
nesday of every month and all subjects
of interest to housewives are discussed.
The dues only amount to Csc a year so
every housewife of the city may join
the organization. If they can not JOIN
they are urged to attend a few of the
meetings and see what work is, oelhS
accomplished.
The Housewives league of Fargo Is
a new venture, the league having been
organized only last March. Neverthe--
less the work already accomplished
spells success and the members are be-
coming more and more enthusiastic.
1t was through the efforts of this
league that the clerks were given nall
holidays on Saturday afternoons the
past summer and the report of this
committee was given yesterday by Mrs.
L. c.. Zeigler. Mrs. Zeigler says the
merchants are now in favor of closing
their places of business on Saturday
moons during the warm weather ana
this will probably in time become a
custom. Mrs. Amidon in behalf of a
committee gave the report of the in
spection of the creameries, bakeries,
restaurants, etc, which included the
report of sanitary conditions as they
now are. This investigation will con-
tinue during September and at the
next meeting another report will be
given. Mrs. J. w; Ince was called upon
ing with the grocers held this summer
1t is the desire o1 the housewives to
make some sort Of an agreement With
the grocers whereby all bills paid be-
fore the 10th of every month will be
discounted.
This matter has not been fully de-
cided upon and within the next month
another meeting will be arranged with
the grocers and another report given
at the next meeting. ~ ~e
These are only a few Of the many
subjects discussed by the housewives
at their meetings and as every house
wife in the city is eligible every one
should be at the next meeting to be
held at the Civic center the first We'd
neSday in October.
