The Ladies' Literary club held an
interesting meeting yesterday after

general monthly meeting and notwith-

was the usual GOOD attendance. At
a short business session the president
stated that the club, through the COM
mittee appointed for, the work had
sold Liberty bonds to eight different
organizations of women in the city and
had the promise of more. The pro-
gram included an extended report Civ
en- by Mrs. A. H. Reid relating to the
recent meeting of Charities and Cor
rections, held in Chippewa Falls

bercular work which was discussed at
the same meeting. Miss Gretchen Nor
gan gave a reading entitled, "Ashes
of Roses" and Responded to an en-
core with apple Blossoms" Both
numbers were most pleasing. Mrs.
c. A Barwig gave an interesting re-
port of the state convention of Wom-
ems clubs, which was held at Madi-
son last week, at which Mrs. Barwig
was a delegate. The convention dealt
strongly on the subject of food con-
servation and urged all women to con-
serve in every way and thus show
their loyalty. The delegates brought
home food pledge cards which will
be distributed through the coming
week to the housewives throughout the
city Mrs. E. F. Stockum gave a talk
on "Home Cases in Federated Chart
