The Eaton Herald truthfully says
that before the government took over
the railroads the newspapers used to
get some cash advertising and before
that we got transportation to any place
we wanted to go in exchange for adver-
tising. Since the government has TAX
en- over the roads it has raised the
freight and passenger rates and all we
get is requests for free publicity. Any

any free space is a jibbering idiot

Plans for the WOmau's Club.
1t has long been cherished hope
of many Columbus women to have a
Woman's Club, representative, broad
in scope, ambitious in effort and
achievement. Such hope was crys-
tallized into a plan last week, and in
the women whose interest and CO.
operation are strongly enlisted lie the
best guarantees of success.
A preliminary meeting was held at
the home of Mrs. Fenton Robertson
Thursday afternoon when tentative
plans were outlined and a call issued
for a larger gathering at which time
there would be discussion in detail,
and the movement would be formally
launched. This call brought together
at the Hotel Gilmer Saturday morn
ing large and enthusiastic company
of women, and the Woman's Club
passed from its dream phase into the
clear promise of fact accomplished.
Its three-fold purpose-educational,
benevolent, sOcial-speaks of en-
larged opportunities, and viii make a
wide appeal
At yesterdays meeting much bush
ness incident to organization was
presented, and officers were elected.

Mrs. Fenton Robertson vice-president,
Mrs. w. W. burden secretary, an ex-
ceedingly capable board to steer the

and to inspire the effort of others,

rhe aMary FRANCES COOLING club.

The MARY Frances" Cooking Club.
Several months ago ten little girls,
looking to the demands of the future,
and eager to learn the art of cooking,
organized the MARY Frances Cook
ing Club. Little Miss Jane Power
Lindamood kindly offered kitchen
complete and modern, with tiny re-
frigerator, china press as receptacle
for china intended for the club ex-
clusively, stove in perfect condition,
table at which to gather for the en-
joyment of the feasts, and everything
in fact that a class engaged in such
study would require.
On recent Saturday afternoon,
in its proper surroundings, the club
gave a demonstration of what it has
accomplished. The mothers of the
members and few friends were in
vited, and the afternoon was really
a revelation of the children's ability
and skill. Each child prepared, en-
tirely unaided, .favOri+e dish, gave
in detail the recipe, and offered it as
a part of the dainty refreshments
served the assembled guests. The
menu throughout represented the
work of the club, and called forth
much praise.
Included in the club membership,
and contributing to the unusual sue
cess of its initial party were: Miss
Tennie Watson Owen. Miss Mary
Sharp Owen, Miss Andrea Meadows,
Miss Josephine Stevens, Miss Chris
tine Gunter, Miss Dorothy Smith,
Miss Frances French, Miss Frances
Banks, Miss Mary Duren and Miss

devoted to school activities to the

examinations of commencement, kept
