MORE ABOUT THE COFFEE CLUB.

The committees appointed by the va.
riGus organizations to consider the
starting of a coffee club in Salem met
at the Y. M. G. A. on Sunday after

man and R. A. Harris secretary. There
was no question in the minds of those
present that the club would be started,
and it would be success, for it has
succeeded in Eugene, and in several
places in California, and Portland is
about to try it.
The chairman and secretary were au-
thorized to arrange for a meeting Fri.

by some speaker from Eugene, to which

As an indication of the interest the
project is arousing it was stated that
more than offer has already been
received of the use of building

posed coffee club The committee is
anxious to learn of every available
building which might be secured for
this purpose, whether it would donated
