HOUSEKEEPER'S CLUB.

The regular meeting of the House
keepers Club was held Saturday after
noon at the Odd Fellows Hall. The !
meeting was called to order by the
president, Mrs. ]. w. Kent, after which
the minutes of the previous meeting |
were read.
The Rest Room committee reported |
there had been 403 visitors at the Rest |
Room from July to Nov. /.
Mrs. Cleary, chairman of the Flower |
Fund committee, reported that there
was balance of $4.16 in the Flower
Fund.
Mrs. Ramsett, custodian of the Cook
Book fund, reported balance of $94.-
80. The Treasurer's reports up to the
first Of November showed balance
of $423.12.
After some discussion in regard to
the line of work to be followed for the
next year, it was decided to hold the
meetings of the club the first Satur-
day of every month, as usual, but the
meetings will be held in the Red Cross
rooms and the program and refresh
ments are to be omitted. The after
noon will be devoted to Red Cross
work. The meetings will be called for
two o'clock instead of three o'clock as
heretofore and a short business ses-
sion will be held during the afternoon.
1t was thought that by making these
arrangements, the Housekeeper's
Club would be doing it's "bit" towards
making our ''boys" comfortable dur
ing the long cold winter and each and
every member is urged to be present
at these meetings, so that large
amount of work can be- accomplished
by the club during the winter. The
possibilities are that the club will take
up some special linesof the Red Cross
work. This question will be decided
at the next regular meeting in Decem-
ber. .....:* :sssss $50
It was recommended that the flower
beds at the Post Once. which have
been maintained by the. club for sew
eral years, be discontinued and the
money to be- used for Red Cross work.
It was also decided TO discontinue
sending flowers to- the sick and the
money from that fund would be used
for the soldier boys. After the bust
ness meeting, q, social half hour was
enjoyed, the hostesses. for the after
noon serving q light luncheon.

which soccurred at 3:15 O'Clock last

DRIVE FOR 7. N. C. 4.

J. F. MiIIaTd Elected County.
Chairman with Able
Assistants.

The organization meeting for Kandi-
yohi county in the campaign to raise
funds for the war fund for the Y. NJ.
c. A., was held at the Masonic Build
ing last night. ]. F. Millard was chos-
en- as County Chairman, Atty. Geo. II.
Bitterness, Secretary and Hon. c. w.
Odell, treasurer, with plenary powers
to appoint soliciting committees thru
out the county and conduct the drive
to raise Kandiyohi county's quota for
this very important work for the boys
who are in the army, and who will be
called to the colors later The speak
ers were Russell Spicer, Rev. w. B.
Jones, Mr.. Robb, Rev. M. Sotendahl
and others. Kandiyohi county's quota
Is $4,000, and those who attended the
meeting left with the determination
that in this instance our county will
arouse itself and do all that is expect
ed of it.
It is safe to say that had all the peo-
pie of the county heard the speeches
made at the district and county organ
ization meetings, and fully understood
the great service that the Y. M. C. A.
is doing and has been called upon to
do, there would be little trouble for
the solicitors to secure the necessary
funds.
This concerns the personal welfare
OF the soldiers, and all the soldiers,
more closely than any other war ac-
tivity, however indispensable they
may be. The Y. M. C. A. is the con-
Meeting link between the home and the
boys, it looks after their moral vel
fare, seeking to keep them from bad
company and the evils which are Pc
culiar to the soldiers life. The Y. M.
c. A. huts at the training camps and
in the trenches seeks to give them in
clean and healthy way, the chance
they need for recreation from their
nerve-racking duties. Practically all
the letters we receive from the sold
fers come on stationery showing they
have been written at the Y. M. C. A.
huts.
II we are a Christian God-fearing
people, who would protect the boys at
the front from terrible temptations,
we should rejoice at the opportunity
to help in the work the Y. M. C. A. is
doing. Let everybody give cheerfully,
and esteem it an honor to be asked to
help. - - .-s.zSz.sss z.z-@5s-sslss1-
