good MANY members and several Wis
TORS. After the regular business OF
the club the entire program was given
over to the paper, Development OF
Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro,

the same by the members. The cur
rent events that were given in answer
TO roll call were as usual most inter
esting.
Through the medium of the club
notes we have become acquainted
with a new club in Logan, Clark
county, which we hope will become a
member of the official family as soon
as it becomes of age. 1t has promised
to keep the press committee informed
as to its plans and meetings, and has
sent the following interesting account
of its work: THE Woman's Civic
League of Logan, Clark County, Ne
yada, was organized in May, 1910
with the following officers; Presi-
dent. Birdie f. Gam; Vice-President
Mrs. w. 7. McBurney; Recording
Secretary, Mrs. Eugene Parker; Cor
responding Secretary, Marguerite
Rice; Treasurer, Mrs. ]. F. Rushton.
The MEETINGS are held every second
Thursday at the homes OF the mem
bers. During October one meeting
was devoted to reading and discussing
those of the election laws bearing
on our newly acquired citizenship.
Later Letter of protest was sent to
the county commissioners in regard
to an open road across the upper end
of the valley. One afternoon Mr..
M. Swain, the local postmaster, gave
an interesting talk on various matters
Among them was the subject of lower
taxes, to which he has devoted many
years of study. During the past two
months a regular program has beer
carried out Roll call is answered
by one or more items of domestic OF
foreign news, and chapter is read
from that delightful book, THE
American Government" by Frederick
J. Haskin The matter of fndig an
other name for the postoffice to
avoid so much confusion with Logan
Utah, has been taken up, but NOTHING
has been done as yet. Although
lacking in numbers, the Logan Civic
League hopes to make up for this by
spirit of hearty cooperation and
good will"
