Fortnightly club Of Wahpeton invited
the federated clubs of the Fourth dis
trlct to meet with them on April "a
Tor their annual all day conference. q
The business meetings were held in
the congregational church., with a
large body Of enthusiastic club women
IN attendance. The day was full of in
formation and inspiration, and from the
meeting of the executive board at nine
in the morning until the close of the
evenings entertainment, the spirit of
cooperation and mutual ~helpfulness,
prevailed.
O'Clock by District Vice President Mrs.
%. l.. Kinney of Hankinson. Invoca-
ton was. pronounced by Mrs. NJ. l..
Engle, of Lisbon. Miss Lillian Mirick
guests. in behalf of the, Wahpeton
clubs. Mrs. Kinney g~raciously respond
ed, then gave an address which was
full of helpful suggestions to all clubs
she urged the use of the press, for the
furtherance of club work.
The reports of committees showed
promise and a growing interest in all
departmental work, though greatest &C
ttvity was shown along the ines of
civics, library work and home econo
mics.
The legislative committee reported
that the North Dakota laws for women
were being compiled. Special attention
was called to the present weak child
labor law.
In regard to conservation, two pro-
grams were suggested that lay special
stress on Our Native Flowers and
Fruits" n Our Birds that are Hunt
ed"
In fact plans were given for the dew
elopment of work in every department.
h reports of clubs were most graft
Tying and encouraging as they showed
much good work done.
Miss Minnie Jean Nelson, state pres.
ident Is dear to the hearts of all the
Fourth district club women, and every
word of her excellent address on The
State Federation received the closest
attention.
Another helpful feature of the con
Minnie Clark Budlong, secretary of the
state. library commission. She told OF
the many way the library commission
could help us, and how we could ob.
tain travelling libraries for our com.
munities.

General federation, and the entertain
ment OF delegates at the coming bien-
NAL, were set forth by. Mrs. w. S.

ages, home and children, should be re-
presented by the homemaker. Women
are the mothers Of citizens and future
citizens and thus have the greatest
der which she and they must live. Wo-
men Increase the nations wealth by
their industry. Three fOurths Of the
women inside the home do their own
homework. nursing, sewing, etc. There
are six million women outside the home
working to help support the home and
themselves.
This century has been designated as
the century of the child. l like to him
that woman as a political power has
been ~designedly held in reserve to pro-
teCt the child more adequately in all it's
rights before as we'll as after birth.
Will we make Of this century a swift
evolution toward a more ideal social
order by the vote? Perhaps it may not
some but no one can deny that it is an
approach. 1t is a great responsibility
we are taking upon us. No wonder
that many women shrink from the self
imposed task! Yet have. we the right
to shirk the responsibility that belongs
to us? Women who are free, who look
live in a real world of striving, strug-
Cling, suffering humanity, are the most
effective mothers. They know how to
care for their own children and thus
for the children of the community at
the same time. .-,..
Woman's place is the,home, but home
means the community where her child
rem must live and grow and thrive.
The city full Of people make the In
vironment for the family. The public
school is the real nursery. Alone, wo-
men can not cope with the evils OF the
world any more than men can, but
working side by side they can accom-
plish miracles. The division of labor,
If made on natural not on conventional
lines, will create no argument as to
woman's place in government. 3
We all want the CITY some 6aV to he a
| well-ordered, sanitary household where
every one has clothes to wear, enough
to eat, a good place to sleep, and plenty
Of wholesome recreation. Women's
work in the world is race preservation
and race Improvement. Why oppose
her in her work? That is fighting ma
ture, who in the end never loses her

The social features of the convention
We're perfectly appointed and most en-
1oyable. At noon a dainty and appetTz-
ing. luncheon was served by the Domes-
tic science department of the high
school. The most impressive feature
or the day was the grace sung by a
trio of voices. The words and music
were written by Mrs. Meckstroth of
Wahpeton.
At 6 O'Clock the state school of
science served a delicious banquet.
Covers were laid for 100, and the
tables were beautifully decorated. The
place rds were painted with the wild
rose, the state federation flower.
Wahpeton is rich in musical artists
and throughout the day the convention
was charmed by many pieces of beau
tiful music, and the musical program
In the evening was a delightful one.

locality. Some are bankers, merchants

IN FLAGRANTE DELICTO
La Junta School Children Arrested
in Rocky Ford Hotel

But for the warning note it carries to
our readers The Enterprise would not
mention the deplorable affair which had
its inception at the Elks hotel in this city
on Saturday night ard in all probability
will end in the reform school for the boy
and girl participants.
In brief the story as told in Judge
Chritton's court on Tuesday morn ming,
gave particulars OF the arrest by Night
Marshal Corcoran of a l6-year-old girl
and boy but little older who were oc-
cupying the. one bedroom at the hotel
while the girls wearing apparel only oc-
cupied the other bedroom that had been
engaged. The fact was brought out that
both boy and girl were from reputable
La Junta families who were ignorant of
their reprehenslble conduct.
The youth pleaded not guilty of the
statutory charge. but the evidence ELECTED
from the girl was in itself sufficient for
the Judge and he was held under a bond
of S 900 to appear before the district
court.

To a number of Arkansas Valley farm
ers pratical demonstration was yester-
day given of the new silo that has bee n
erected on the American Beet Sugar Co.
farm west of this city, and they are now
convinced that beet tops makes an ex-
oeptionally good filler.
The sio. which was built of 2x4 tim
bers laid fiat. was filled with beet tops
and oat straw and a portion of the COM
pany's cattle and hogs have been exclus-
lively fed on this ensilage with result
that has proven revelation to the ex-
perimentors and farmers as well.
The visitors were also shown the
machinery used by the A. B. S. Co. for
cutting up the beet tops and mixing the
ensilage, and were given other informa-
ton about the preparation OF the filler
that will be Of much value to them when
they build the silos that most of them
mid they would have in operation next

I'm THEE
SOCIAL WORLD

On Sunday last our distinguished justice
of the pea ce. Judge Chritton. was called
upon to perform the most pleasant duty
that devolves upon his office-that of
uniting in the bonds of matrimony two
souls with but single thought etc. In
this instance the duty of our genial Judge
was doubly pleasant, as there we're. two
couples to be entangled in the matrlmon-
ial moose.
The contracting parties were Lewis M.
Robbins and Miss Celeste Warren. Arthur
R. Dudley and Miss Viola Robbins. and
on them Judge Chritton used hitch that
he guarantees will stay tied.
The young people are we'll known. es-
pecially about Weitzer. and they have a
host of friends with whom The Enterprise
joins in best wishes for happy and pros
porous journey through life.
Mrs. Harry Sherman entertained on
Tuesday afternoon at a thimble party to
celebrate the birthday of her mother.
Mrs. j. F. Forbes. The afternoon was
pleasantly spent and luncheon of de-
lightfu appointments was Served by the
hostess. The decorations were pink and
white carnations. and the same beautiful
color scheme was carried out in the re-
freshments, Mrs. Forbes was the reeipi-
ent of several handsome presents.
The teachers on the lower floor of the
Liberty school entertained those of the
upper floor at dinner on Saturday evening
The affair was given in the school build
ing and the teachers cooked and served
the spread. As the Enterprise has not
heard that any of the teachers were abb
sent from their rooms this week we are
led to believe that no ill effects resulted
from the dinner and conclude that the
Liberty ladies are about as good cooks as
they are teachers.
