time is twenty-eight-the limit num-

reason of removals and death there
are but two of the original Charter
Members connected with the present
organization, namely Mrs. Fred Mann,

and Mrs. Albert Powell.
The primary purpose was the es-
Establishment and carrying on very sue
cessfully for period of sixteen years
the Public Reading Room and Library
for Devils Lake and Ramsey county.
The library began on very small
scale, chiefly by book donotions from
private local libaries and as the
result Of MEN National Books Drives
and several thousand valuable books
in all being donated In this way
and by private purchases from funds
raised by the members of the 10Th
Century Club, they acquired public
library of several thousand volumes,
at cost of 100000 a year, they con-
tinually added new and valuable books
as we'll as paid the service of a Lib
rarian. The Library and Reading
Room was kept open each day for six
teen years. The Library was very
generally patronized by all classes Of
citizens including the school children.
With the growth of the County and
city and the demands Of the reading
public and school interests, the needs
was more and more emphasized each
year for a more complete library, as
we'll as for permanent home or build
ing for the same. Hence the Club
Women applied on three separate oc-
casions, ranging through several
years, to Andrew Carnegie, Eeq, for
the donation of sufficient funds for
the erection of suitable library

The Woman's Club of Devils Lake
was organized in 1916 from the
Nother's Club. The Constitution says
xhe object of the club shall be
To promote the general welfare OF
She community, to encourage a social
spirit, while working together for the
good of the home and family, to con-
slider the home as part of the COM
munity. To that end the club has
interested itself in child welfare. pol
itical purity, school board work, boy
Scouts, Florence Crittenden Home,
food inspection, Salvation Army and
Door relief, for the good of the COM
munity and the home.
1t has been the plan Of the club,
if some organization was doing line
Of work, to cooperate with the forces
Mt work rather than starting special
committee. Members Of the club
are working effectively in various
organizations. and it has been the
nope of the Woman's Club to back
their efforts financially.
We have a possible membership
Of twenty eight, twenty f i've regular
4nd three who by their past club work
have earned right to life member
ship.
Since we may not mention names,
St is only fair to say there is not a
movement Of large significance to the
community that at least one of the
leaders is not from the Woman's Club.

same year, it was decided to take up
the study of Shakespeare's work and
the name Of the Club was changed to
its present name-"Devils Lake
Shakespeare Club" Mrs. C. w. Kelley
was its first President and Mrs. Mary
Burke, wife of the former U. S. Treas
urer, was the first secretary. Later
an amendment was adopted to the
Constitution, limiting the active men,
bership to twenty, and this amend
ment has been in force ever since. This
membership has always consisted of
the most cultured and representative
women of the city and been identi
fled with all public work for local
benefit and improvement. They were
largely instrumental in getting the
Carnegie Library for the city and one
of it's members, Mrs. Richard Burke,
was Chairman of the building COM
mittee. During the war the Club
did active work with the local Red
Cross unit and for several years sup
ported French War orphan. For the
past few years their programs have
been miscellaneous in character, but
always a part of the program is de-
voted to the study of some part of
Shakespeare's work. The membership
at present, consists Of twenty act
i've and one, honory members. It's
officers are: Mrs. Harriet Reaney,
Pres, Mrs. Ruth Collinson, vice Pres,
Mrs. Blanche Stevens, Sec.; Mrs. Jes-
sic Mclean, Treas. It meetings are
ED the second and fourth Mondays
at two-thirty, at the homes of the
members. The program for this year
is miscellaneous one of Travel,
Authors, Art and Music.

Teach US to put into action our

Let us take time for all things;

Grant that we may realize it is lit

Where The COlors Pass
When the colors pass in a parade
Americans uncover. This act is a
symbol Of devotion and reverence to

The Joseph Lehman post of the
American Legion does well to call at
tention in letter to the Star to the
disrespect Of the flag shown by many
men lining the streets during the
labor day parade. They kept on their
hats when the colors went by.
A small thing, many say, due to
t31oughtlessness on the part of the
spectators.
No, it is not small thing. The
flag stands for America. It is the
great national emblem. It's presence
recalls the duty every American owe:
his country. Every time we salute tn,
eolo1s we remind ourselves that w
are not to regard America as Ian,
from which we are constantly to ge
and keep We are to acknowledge gu
obligations Of citizenship as we'll.

The Twentieth Century Club

The first woman's club movement in
Devils Lake was the organization Of
the Columbia Club in 1899 Mrs. Albert
Roberts, president. Its object was to
furnish reading room in North Da-
kota's State building at the worlds
Fair at Chicago. The furniture was
elaborate and represented an expendi-
sure Of fully $4,000, which money was
nade by the Club women by a series
1t dances, teas, etc. At the close of
he Fair, the furniture was re-s!,ipped
" Devils Lake and subsequently uti-
lied in the furnishing Of the Public
Library and reading rooms established
by the Nineteenth Century Club.
Several years later, practically the
aane group Of women founded the
18th Century Club with eight men,

A Tsast to Laughter

Here's to laughter, the sunshine of
the soul, the happiness Of the heart,
the privilege of purity, the echo Of
innocence, the treasure of the humble,
the wealth of the poor, the bread of

ton, banishes blues and mangles MEL

destroyer of depression, the enemy of
grief; it is what kings envy in peas

guilty envy in the innocent; it is the
sheen on the silver of smiles, the
CLINT of the gold of gladness; without
it humor would be dumb, wit would

glow of clean conscience, the voice

the swan song Of gladness.-Laug.

building here. In conformity with
the help he had so very generously
rendered many other cities, the pre-
sent beautiful structure was arected
from this Carnegie donation during
1909. The corner stone address was
delivered by A. M. Powell. The 10th
Century Club donated the furniture
and their entire library to the new city
Carnegie Library Association. The
new institution is supported by a
general public tax.
From the organization of this club
the semi-monthly meetings have been
continuously kept up and its literary
and musical studies carried on, SEES
sions being held in the homes of it's
members and programs have not only
been recreative and pleasurable, but
very instructive.
Having entered new century, it
was thought best some years ago to
change the name from the 10Th to the
Goth Century Club, and the studies
and activities Of the club have been
accelerated each year and more elabo
rate programs issued. 1t has been
found very advantageous and helpful
to prepare and print the program in
advance for the ensuing year, course
which has been followed from the very
beginning. Supplemental to it's Lii
erary and Musical Activities, the Goth
Century Club has of late years con-
tributed literally towards the sup
port of the Florence Crittenden Home
at Fargo, and to the Scholarship
Funds of the State Federation of Wo-
mans Clubs for the support of stud
ents requiring funds for their college
education.
The present activities also include
the Child Welfare and Americanization
work. The present officers are as fol-

across such statements as, whole
sale prices have come down, but the
retail dealers do not seem to have
found 1t out?" we have met with
this statement in trade journals and
business reviews Of weekly and
daily papers. 1t has appeared so
often that many Aave accepted it as
true. Yet If any purchasers of
family supplies will compare the
prices paid today and those paid two
years ago, they will know that it is
far from the truth.
During the past year the invoice
price Of goods on the shelves of the
retail merchant has been reduced
from 20 to 40 per cent. On $780,
900 stock this means loss of from
$4,000 to $4,000. 1t means that the
merchant has taken a loss Of that
much on his goods. Is it any wonder
that many merchants have been
forced to the wall?
What Is more, the overhead cost Of
doing BUSINESS is greater than 1t was
before the war. Wages Of help has
not fallen to that of the pre-war
period. Rents in many cases are
higher, and fuel and lights are
higher. All these things combine to

TIME TO Lazy OFF
FROM THE RETAILER

If there is any class of people who
have been hard hit by the recent
change in conditions, is the retail
merchant. We hear much of the dis
tress of the farmer, and the strain
the bankers have been laboring
under is of knowledge to all. But
have you heard of any general move
ment to assist the retail merchant in
these times of stress? Yet no line of
business has been hit harder than
that of the local retail merchant, the
man you meet every day and the one
who supplies your daily needs.
When the slump in prices came, it
was the retail dealers who carried
the load. The manufacturers and job
bers were hit hard, it is true, but
they were in many cases short of
supplies and their loss, while heavy,
was not in proportion to the small
retail dealers. In spite of this we'll
known fact the retail merchant has
not only not come in for any special
consideration, but has been heaped
with lot of unmerited abuse.

INDIAN MYTHS
How the Flying Squirrel Got His
Wings

How the Flying Squirrel Got His
Wings
Long ago, in the Indian country,
Nuk-da-go was chief Of the squirrel
tribe. One day he was passing thru
the woods to see how all the little
squirrels were faring, and how they
prospered in laying up their store of
nuts for the winter.
Now when Nuk-da-go went about
the woods he often made himself
invisible, for by this means he heard
and saw many things which would
not have been said or done If the
woods people had known that he was
near.
On this day Nuk-da-go CHANGED to
pass by the home of little squirrel,
Jo-nis-gy-ont, who had worked very
hard all the autumn laying up nuts
for his winters food.
Little Jo-nis-gy-ont lived all alone
in hollow tree close beside great
pine. On one side, near the edge of
a bit of marsh, lived Brother Frog,
and on the other side, under some
rocks near the pine, lived Brother
Woodchuck.
Now for some days Jo-nis-gy-ont
had been noticing that his stock of
nuts, instead of growing bigger, was
growing smaller, tho he worked hard
every day.

make the retail merchants path
anything but rose strewn highway.
If help comes to the farmer, in
directly it will come to the merchant,
but in the meantime he is struggling
to keep the business world afioat by
making sacrifice sales and taking his
loss without any hue and cry. So
just remember the local merchant
has his troubles and is still your
friend-that he is doing his share to
bring about better conditions and
help the old world back onto its feet.
1t will take time, but we believe
things are slightly on the upgrade
and If everyone will do his part and
60 to work all will be we'll. Pros

which he carried his stores, was a
half-hour's journey away from the
hollow tree. To be sure, there were
acorns and cone seeds much nearer
home, but as every one knows, the
hickory nut is the sweetest nut of
the woods. -
But of late, when Jo-nis-gy-ont
returned from one of his long trips
with his cheeks bullying with hickory
nuts, he would find fewer nuts in his
storehouse in the hollow tree than
he had left there when he started
away. Little Jo-nis-gy-ont had his
own ideas, but he thought it best to
be frank and friendly.
One evening, as he and Brother
Frog and Brother Woodchuck were
sitting at the doors Of their houses,
little Brother Squirrel said, Neigh
bors, l have found that there Is a
thief about. My store Of nuts is be-
ing robbed" Then he looked hard
at Brother Frog and Brother Wood
chuck-for in those days, you must
know, the frog tribe and the wood
chuck tribe were also eaters Of nuts.
Brother Frog tired to look very
much surprised as he said, "Who
would be so mean as to steal from
little Jo-nis-gy-ont's store of hickory
nuts? Such a thing would be a
shame!" Then he managed to
squeeze two big tears from his eyes
and let them roll slowly down his fat
cheeks.
And Brother Woodchuck said,
"Surely no one in the forest would
steal from you, little Brother Squir-
rel! There must be some mistake.
