course is being presented to the
public through clubs which are
Icing organized in every state in

lantic to San Francisco which views
the smiling Pacific. until now there
are about 100 such organizations.
In Kansas City where the course
is published there are 1000 men,
bers; in Oklahoma there are 300.
The state of Nevada has three
organizations of which ElkO was
the first.
On November Is. 1912 ten wo-
men met at the home of Mrs Nc.
Bride and under the instruction of
Mrs Slaughter, organized the Elko
branch.
From time TO time new members
have heen added until now the
roll call is answered by ninteen
women.
The primary object of the Club
is Self Improvement, but this is not
the orIy aim
All civic questions are Of inter.
est to us and we hope to stand for
the better side in all such ques-
tons
During the recent session of the
Nevada Legislature. the Draper
Club in q telegram to the ElkO
County Contingent voiced its ap-
proval of the revised divorce law.
This action on the part of our
club was reported to the manager
for this district, who in turn has
had notices sent to each Draper

foremost educators of the day. He,
himself was educated at the Al
bany Academy of law receiving bis
degree in 1871. Since that time he
has occupied positions at the head
of many Of the educational institu-
tions of New York, Ohio, Illinois
und Wisconsin
A number of year ago he became
Club in the United States advising
them of the stand taken by this
club, which we feel is that Of the
representative women of Nevada.
Likewise we protested against the
passage of the gambling in.roduc-
ed In the assembly which was
tabled after tho second reading.
The Club feels great interest
| in municipal affairs and most
earnestly desires the betterment OF
our little city IN every possible
way.
Al the present time the public
cemetery is being fenced by the
Com. at the instigation OF our
Civic Com. and we hope to have
other improvements rs result oil

The question Of town cleaning
day Is also being agitated.
Our plans for the future include
not only affairs of this Sort but
work for the welfare Of the chill
dren and youth of our community
TO cooperate with and supplement
that of the other organizations fo'
this purpose.

Weekly independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1887-1914, 1913-06-06

Today the edirt OF polite society
is under the ban. sectarianism has
been taught a lesson il will never
forget. while the ethics of political
economy has been shown to be a
folly by mere woman" Saturday
night was an eventful one in the
annals of our town. The Draper
Self Culture Club of Elko has in
culcated in the minds and hearts of
our pcople, at one fell swoop, the
earnest, honest desire to live in
the house by the side of the road
and be friend TO man " That de-
sire was accentuated by the read
ing Of that beautiful poem that is
so full, by suggestion, of the milk
Of human kindness. The phrase
feast Of reason and n flow of
wit" has been given u new meaning
and to the Draper Self Culture
Club belongs the credit. The first
open meeting was held in the Pres
byterian Church Saturday night
when the flower and chivalry of Elko
was RECALLED with a program that
will go down in local history as
the most unique, instructive, en-
tertaining and pleasing entertain
ment ever before given in Elko
county. In theatrical parlance
there was not dull moment from
the first to the last curtain.
= The following paper was read by
Mrs. c. Stevenson which was read
in most delightful manner and
was enthusiastically received.
Since our organization months
ago We have worked earnestly and
systematically toward better
understanding Of the true worth
and hidden beauty left US by the
masters in order that we might
enjoy them ourselves and be pre-.
pared to teach them in turn to the
younger generation.
The most cynical person can not
call our club a "Home. wreckcr."

ieatue Of having no Refreshments
make 1t possible TO avert the trag-
edy that commonly follow when n
housewife attends an afternoon
junction; namely serving our fam.
ished husbands and children with
sardire sandwich and brilliant
description of the new slashed
gowns.
Looking back over the meeting
held during the past year we for
get the work necessary 10 make
taem profitable and remember only
the pleasure we have derived from
them so we decided to usk you
our friends whom we thought
would be most interested--to at

That VIC might share with you
some of the results of our year 8
work.
The history of so Young an orga.

Club must necessarily be brief. We

history will assume a greater de.

with the affairs Of our town.

A GREAT HIT

Last Friday night was a stormy
one but an audience that defied the
elements gathered at the Starr Val.
ley Hall, where literary and min.
strel entertainment was held un-
er the direction of an old time
minstrel A. B. Gray. The sum of
$4,000 was cleared, and the pro-
ceeds went to the Starr Valley
baseball Club. Mrs Branch Of the
Hook school acted as interlocutor
e. c. Riddell and A. B. Gray acted
as end men, and covered themselves
with glory. One feature of the
evening was the first appearance of
four soloists all members of the
Baseball Club. They were Blaine
Jeanney, Ray Rigby, Oscar Good
ale, and Glen Gray.

"muTT & JEFF" PUT THE xxi
BosH' ON A CIRCUS PER.
TORRANCE

There mustSbe aifFst, time to every
thing, and it remained Tor Gus Hills
"Mutt and Jeng Company to be the
first theatricafeompa ever to put
circus company caulpletely out of bust
ness. These are facts, A well known
Circus and Menagerie was billed to
appear in South Carolina town on
the same night with "Mutt and JEFF"
the irresistible. JAS consequence,
show time came and passed. the band
played their overture to three men,
two women and two children on the
seats. The circus owner, manager and
ring master were5 tearing their hair
in mental anguish, without three dol.
lars in, the ticket wagon. To make it
short the entire aggregation, audience
OF seven, performers, band and crew,
all "hlt the trail" for the opera house
to see the shaw that could get their
"gcat" and their anger was subdued
to certain extent by Two and one
half hours hearty laugh. But "eats"
certainly locked to be in the dim and
misty distance after that experience.
Half of the money in tEeir "1eals'S
was spent in telegram TO the adj
vance agent never to bill the circus
against Mutt and JEFF" in any town.
That's going some, isn't it? This is
but one of the remarkable precedents
that have, been established by this re-
