THE RURAL CLUB
AND ITS PROBLEM
MUCH ATTENTION BEING AT.
TRAcTED BY CLUB MOVEMENT
IN RURAL COMMUNITIES.
Somewhat Slow To Meet the Needs OF
the Woman Who Lives on
the Farm.
(By Elizabeth D. Alternately

Wood, in her department OF What
Women's Clubs Are Doing, says:
"As the club movement grows in use
fitness and service the problem Of the
club In the rural community attracts
much attention. The advent of the
telephone and the parcel post and the
good roads movement have brought
the urban advantages within easy
reach of the rural inhabitants. But
the club movement has been somewhat
slow to meet the needs Of the woman
who lives on the farm. The best club
women of the country are giving a
great deal Of thoughtful attention TO
the subject. That the woman Of the
farm needs the club Ii no more true
than that the club needs her. The
strength Of the club movement lies In
the fact that 1t touches ell kinds OF
women, binding them together In q
great band of helpful sisterhood. and
this band receives great strength from
the women of the lesser towns and the
rural communities"
Yes, the rural club 10 problem. The
rural school is a problem. The rural
church Is problem. The farm woman
of to-day Is almost overwhelmed with
problems. Her first duty outside Of
her home 10, she feels, to the church
of her community. So In nearly every
country neighborhood We find the
women organized for church work Of
some kind. She barely has time for
this one club; but she reads OF the
work being done by county and state
organizations Of various kinds. and
longs for part in all these move
ments for social betterment
About four years ago this longing
for service brought together few OF
the women of our community into an
organization which, for lack Of bet.
ter name, we called the Pleasant Val
ley Ladies' Aid Society. SO weak were
we and few in numbers. that we asked
some city friends to join Us, As they
had been reared among us, and loved
IL church and people, they promised
US their support. Don't forget this fea-
ture OF our organization when you plan
a rural club. In this particular We
builded better than we knew.
The main purpose Of our society was
church support; but we wanted to help
not only the church, but the school,
and the neighborhood. The church
was In debt; the building needed re-
pairs; the collections were falling be-
hind every year; church officials were
discouraged and ready to resign. The
school--but the less we say about the
school the better There was, It seem.
ed, no. community spirit among US.
Something had to be done. so we or
ganized. = M
From the first we studied conditions
and tried to make our work conform
to the needs Of the people. That Is
why our society grew. Soon It devel-

A GRAND SUCCESS

The baseball champions of the To-

chosen yesterday afternoon when the
"Hotairs" took the "Accounters" In

game was full of sensational plays
and grandstand stops on both sides.
Harold Reed captained the Hot
airs and c. E. Twosood led the i"Ac-
counters" However. 1t may be said
that neither of the pilots displayed
the form which was shown by some
of their understudies. Heavy hitting
and spectacular one-hand catches
characterized the playing of Reed S

to get their batting eye in line un
til the last of the ninth inning.
