Woman's Club a Necessity.

The need of Il woman's club is oh.
vious. The paper blowing around the
streets, the lack of fly traps around
the groceries and meat markets, the
sight of a small boy smoking a pipe
or cigarette, all are demands that the
women organize and make their in
tluence felt by forming public senti'
ment.
II enough women gather to crystal
ize this sentiment, there will be a
club formed this fall for the coming
year.
Whether it be a study club, one
for social enjoyment or one for civic
Improvement, it will affect all lines
not especially prominent and improve
every branch of public life.
There will soon be a call issued, but
let women talk the matter over and
decide If the work SO magniiicently
done in the past by the women OF
our city can not be equalled by
those of today
