MOTHERS CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
MESDAMES w. +. NEXSEN AND
]. W. SWITTENBERG ARE
.,HOSTESsEs.

The Twentieth< Century Mothers
Club held its regular May meeting
Friday afternoon at the home OF Mrs.
Leroy Lee, Mesdames J. W. Swift
tenburg and w. /. Nexsen, serving as
hostesses.s>
A motion had been made at a pre-
vious meeting that the new officers
of the club be elected in September
instead of May, as the constitution
calls for. After much discussion, it
was decided by ballot that the elec-
tion be held in compliance with the
original constitution. The following
officers were elected to serve a term
of one year.
President, Mrs. L. A. Van Keuren;
vice president, Mrs. ]. w. Switten-
burg, recording secretary, Mrs. T. E.
Arrowsmith, treasurer, Mrs. D. A.
Montgomery.
The question as to whether or not
the club shall become federated was
discussed, but the decision was post
poned until fall.
Mrs. B. A. Brown. who acted as
county chairman of the "Save the
Baby" campaign sent message to
the club, expressing her sincere ap-
probation of the efforts of the mem
bers towards making the campaign
such success.
The program committee had ar
ranged for two Bible stories to be
told as they should be told to children.
Mrs. Harry Britton kindly consented
to tell the story of "David and Co.
Hath" from the old testament, and
Mrs. L. w. Gilland the story of the
"Loaves and the Fishes, from the
new testament. Both of these were
admirably told. and reflected much
credit to the tellers.
On account of the large member
ship and the fact that it is still in
creasing, it has become impossible
for most of the member to entertain
comfortably in their hom = for lack
of room. Consequently, it has be-
come necessary for some arrange
ment to be made by which the meet
ings may be held outside of the indi-
vidual homes. Prof. ]. w. Switten-
berg Superintendent of the High
school has very generously offered the
use Of the school auditorium for a
meeting place, and the Domestic
Science equipment to facilitate the
serving of the usual refreshments.
This offer is much appreciated, and
will be taken advantage of for the
fall and winter meetings. Many of
the members being absent from town
during the summer months, these
meetings will be held as heretofore.
The semi-annual Fathers meeting
will take the place Of the regular
June meeting and will be held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. T.. E. Arrow
smith on Main street. Mrs. Arrow
smith has asked the following COM
mittee to assist her in entertaining:
Nesdames L. A. Van Kueren, A. c.
Swails, L. w. Gilland, w. K. McIn-
tosh, R. K. Wallace and ]. D. Brit
ton.
Mrs. &. T. Kelley was a welcome
new member. It is earnestly hoped
that any mother who wishes to join
the club will feel free to do so, even
if not individually solicited. Any Of
ficer or member is priviledged to re-
cieve names of applicants, member
ship dues being Sl.00 annually.
At the close of the meeting ris-
ing vote Of thanks vas rendered Mrs.
R. K. Wallace, as the clubs first pres
ident, in recognition Of her sincere
interest in the club, and her earnest
work for its welfare.
Attractive refreshments were serv-
ed by the hostesses, assisted by Mrs.
Dee. Mrs. John d. Britton,
