NOT BlNQIT: T. But ACCOMPLISH.
So a club for the women of Rock
Island has been duly launched with
every promise Of a most successful
organization. Tho women are not GO
ing 10 gather. banquet, talk and re
solve and leave their labors rest there
but they are going out 70 accomplish
something for the welfare of the
cummunity." There are ever so many
avenues into which they can turn thor
cudeavors and once their interest Is
conferred on something worth while
that thing will be accomplished though
the odds may be hard Other woman's
clubs have accomplished wonders fl
cities half the size of Rock Island ans
what others have done Rock Island wo
men can Guido if they but half try.
The tenor of the meeting was most
excellent and there was not one dis
scntinE voice relative 10 the need OF
the club. and there was a feeling
in the air that each was going to worl
f1- the very best interest OF the othel
members and the club as a whole.
The place of holding the adjourned
meeting will be announced through the
press as soon as the committee or
place has had an opportunity to Sc
lect an auditorium large enough to &C
commodate the body OF women. The
time however. as stated above is mex
Saturday at ; o'clock and It is to bt
hoped that the attendance will bt
even larger than it was yesterday anC
that those attending will take an &C
! tive interest in the session and ex
| press themselves as 10 their wishes II
