Last Thursday evening the women of
the town of Albion met at the town
hall for the first time as enfranchised
citizens The object of the meeting
was to get the women together and
give them an opportunity to learn some
thing as to how the organization they

called upon. Mr.. Ristad gave very
inspiring talk along the lines of what
the women could do for themselves,
their families and their country, by the
wise use of this new opportunity to
serve equally with men in conducting
affairs of state. He spoke Of the
