CLUB NOTES.

The Shawnee County Political
Science club met Friday afternoon to
consider the subject of the proposed
bond election for a county home and
tuberculosis hospital. The address OF
the afternoon was made by Mr.. A A
GODDARD, who explained the purpose of
the home to be for the care of the
poor and of the sick who are a public
charge, and the care of tubercular
patients. The scheme also provides
for detention home A special cleo
ton will be called if the petition gets
the required number of signers, and it
is expected that such will be the case.
Mr.. GODDARD also made clear, the diff
ference between the proposed munic-
ipal farm and the county home. He
told of the condition of the old people
at the poor farm who, he says, cannot,
with the provision made for them, be
cared for as they should be. He made
his request that the women support
the project at the polls on humanitar-
ian. as well as economic grounds.
The club, at its business session,
voted to send committee to the coun-
ty commissioners asking them to ap-
point a woman probation office. The
committee named has as its members,
Mrs. Xina Cowles Wright. chairman,
Mrs. Cecil. Mrs. Graft, Mrs. Curry
and Mrs. a. J. White.
|. The club also voted to send a tele-
gram to President Wilson, asking him
to join a conference of neutral ma
lions, looking toward just settlement
of the war in Europe.
The luncheon served by the club
during the teachers meeting returned
a gross amount of s11O, and after ex-
penses are deducted, the net proceeds
will be sent to the National Equal Suf-
frage association.

nounce the engagement of their
daughter, Lillian Anita, to Mr.. Beryl
r. Johnson.
The announcement carries with it e
great deal of interest, for various rea-
sons. Miss Stone belongs to a family
of Kansas pioneers, her grandparents
having come to the state in territorial
days. Her father is lawyer of prom
inence and has represented his county
in the state legislature for a good
many years and at the last session was
speaker of the house. Her uncle, Mr.
George Stone, is an artist of high
standing. Miss Stone was educated
in the Topeka high school and Wash
burn college, and spent short time
attending the university in Chicago.
She specialized in dram matte art and
music. She has taken leading parts
in the high school and college plays.
She has a rich contraIto voice, and
