Woman's Club Meeting
The annual election of officers took
place at the club rooms Saturday aft
ernoon, after the executive board
meeting, which was held at 2:30. The
president, Mrs. w. T. Gary, presided.
The members of the club who were
so unfortunate as not to attend this
instructive meeting missed treat in
the form of most interesting and
instructive talk from Mrs. William
Hooker, state chairman of the ma
tional defense unit. Mrs. Hooker
spoke very informally, giving a
sketch of DR.. Shaw's talk. Among
other important messages from DR..
Shaw, Mrs. Hooker said:
women are asked to do three
things, namely: Inspire men, keep
cool, conserve-eonserve so much, but
not too much. Women are asked to
do this and they are going to do it.
Women will do the mixing, and it is
up to them to make the men eat the
mixing"
Many hotels have taken a solemn
oath not to use flour, but to use 50-50
instead. We are now exporting more
than a million tons more wheat than
before the war. Some people say
women do Red Cross work to be fash
ionable and to have place to go for
gossip. But what do the boys in the
trenches care about what or where
or how they work, so that they are
made comfortable. Gossip is a good
thing sometimes. The preacher tells
US how to be good, but gossip scares
US into being good.
Misses Cevie Roberts and Miriam
Conner gave a musical duet.
