ARTENISIA CLUB HOLDS
AN INTERESTING SESSION
Members Have Practical Ideas in
Plans to Aid i'm Community
Upbuilding

The thought has often come to us,
do the people of Fallon and vicinity
know that there is an Artemisia
Club and what is the purpose of
such a club and what are the results
of such asclub? For the benefit of
those who are not members but
should be members we will tell
tell what we are doing and what we
expect to do in the future
Artemisia means to the natives
of the west, sagebrush, and sage
brush is symbol of "home" to ev-
cry rancher here. The Artemisia
Club is a "home" Club. A club
which is providing a home in Fallon
where every rancher's wife or
daughter or those shopping from
other places may feel free to come
and rest when in the city.
At present the club is comfort
ably located in a modest little club
house just off the main street east
of the Eagle office. The plan is to
keep the rooms open at all times as
a rest room. The hope is to be able
in the future to build a more COM
modious club house, in which will
be found every comfort one could
wish for when in need of such. as it
is now there is place to write or
read as well as lunch and care for
the little ones. One will appreciate
this after a long cold ride in the
winter or a tiresome dusty ride in
The plan is to be able with the
help of everyone to make it possible
to have public library, open read
ing rooms and places of recreation
for everyone, so to this aim we So
licit the good will of everyone.
The Artemisia Club is not an ex-
elusive club and every lady is urged
to join, especially is the invitation
given to new people here. Al
though you have not joined as yet
We extend a cordial invitation to
come and visit us.
A new feature of the club this
year is the extra session. Original
ly only one meeting was held each
month. The meeting on the third
Saturday is a social session, while
the business session is still held on
the first Saturday afternoon of each
month.
The Artemisia Club and friends
spent a very pleasant afternoon.
AT the club rooms in their social
session on Saturday, February 18th,
a committee from the Draper Club
were present and Mrs. d. E. Will
liams read a paper giving an idea
what the Confederated Clubs are
trying to do for the State and COM
and also their plan for the
Baby Week program which will ap-
pear in the paper later The Arte-
misia Club are going to cooperate
with the Draper Club to make the
series of lectures and meetings a
most helpful and instructive one
both to the home and community.
A paper was read by Mrs. w. II.
what should a child
know when he enters school the
first day. One would naturally ex-
pect she would outline a program
by which we could teach our chill
dren each day previously SO that
they would be ahead of their classes,
but no she advised mothers not to
do more than let them learn the al
phabet, unless she knew just what
especial course would be taught
when they entered school, and thus
avoid conflict with the course taught
by the teacher to all pupils at the
same time. Her strong appeal was
that children be sent to school
when they have learned the lessons
Of cleanliness, obedience and respect.
Each lady present responded to a
question given by the program COM
mittee and then a general discussion
followed. Many good ideas were
given but the main conclusion was
that each child must be handled as
it's individual self needs.
The hostesses served a delicious
luncheon and the meeting adjourn
ed with pleasant memories of the
The next social session will be on
afternoon, March Is and
all ladies interested in the Artemis-
la Club are invited to be with us.
The regular session will be on
March 4th at 2 p. m. at
the Club rooms.
