MEETING HERE TONIGHT.
Houghton and Hancock Merchant
Asked to Attend Gathering.

The womans civic Club Of Hancock
has made arrangements TO hold n
meeting this evening i'm the North
Star hall in an attempt to form "a club
for the boys of the two towns, The
merchants of the two towns and all
interested parties are asked TO aid the
enterprise.
The need for some such organiza-
ton has long been felt here. but so
far none of the attempts to maintain
such an organization have met with
any degree Of success. owing to the
lack Of cooperation between the boys
Of the two towns. This lack of CO.
operation and consequent bad feeling
has manifested itself i'm nearly every
athletic match in which the boys Of
the two towns have ever taken part
| and to remove this feeling and oblit-
crate its effects will be the first task
for such a club.
