out some time ago. Every member Of
the league in the county is expected
to attend the suffrage rally to be held
at the home of Mrs. Fred Hannahs,

noon at three O'Clock and it is expect
ed to prove one of the most interest
ing gatherings of women ever held in
Kenosha. Members of the league have
worked along many lines to make this
rally a great success and the unique
plan of raising funds has appealed
nightly to the women of Kenosha and
the surrounding territory who have
taken an interest in the cause of
suffrage.
Members Of the league viii be ex-
pected to bring their friends with them
at the rally on Saturday afternoon.

Miss Harriet Balm,
500 Park Avenue,

Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Ny Dear Miss Balm:
I want to thank you in the name Of
the National Association for your sug-
gestion about the universal day for
raising money for the campaign states.
That suggestion was an excellent one,
and with the various movements which
have been made and the addition Of
Che Melting CT idea, ve are hop
ing that it may bring in money enough
to relieve the strain of financial burden
from all Of these states.
Tt is exceedingly interesting to see
the number of packages of various
things which are being sent in for the
Melting Pot" But I suppose most
of the people are keeping back their
gifts until the 18th when I have no
doubt we shall have a deluge of them,
It is simply because of the press
Of " orI that I have failed to send you
the appreciation of the National Board
at the time wheE your suggestion was
made to it through Mrs. Breckenridge.
VIII you pardon this later acknowledge
ment and accept our thanks8
Very truly yours,
