CIVIC LEAGUE is
RESPONSIBLE FOR
MANY IMPROVEMENTS

Chief among the women's ORGANIZE
: tons Of Grand Forks, n one whose
activities have perhaps touched the
Ilves of as nla.iy' citizens as any ASSOC
cation in h city is the Women's
Civic League which was organized
mere In the spring Of 1907 with Mrs.
SAl1ce Woodwork Cooley as the first
President. Miss Helen Hamilton was
the. first secretary OF the organizatlon
which at Its inception claimed a mem
bership Of about $50 Of the most ac-
tive civic workers III Grand Forks.
The Women's Civic League is now
credited with a long list Of accolnp-
lishments in the direction Of physcal.
social. and cultural improvement and
able that the efforts Of its members
n the fine enthusiasm which char
acter.zed the first work 81 the body
have been maintained ut the same
-hlgh standard during the entire per-
nod Of its EXISTENCE.
Initiate Pure Food Plan.
One Of the first movements with
which h Women's Civic League be
came identified as the moving spirit
was that In favor-of a pure food de-
partment in the city administration.
As a result OF the efforts OF the organ
1zation at this time, an inspector vas
appointed whose salary was paid
partly by the city and partially from
h Civic League funds, and later,
when the Importance Of the work be-
came apparent, the expenses Of the
department were betrayed by the city
entirely. Mrs. r. A. Sprague receiv-
ed the first appointment to the Nposi:
Stion Of inspector, and 1t is interesting
in this connection to note hat she il
believed to have been the first women
food Inspector in the United States.
Cleanup Work.
Simultaneous with its organization
began the cleanup work Of the Lea
que which it has continued to back
to the present time. Each year the
school children Of the city are called
upon for cooperation in the work OF
making the city clean. and In pay.

 But while we have nof<bsen getting enough snow for sliding here, there are points to the north where coasting has been. generally induIged in, and in some < instances to the deep regret of the coasters and their families, This is due 10 the fact that we haven't as yet got 10 the pniat where the proper degree of safety is thrown about the places where sliding is enjoyed and those participat- ing ara not disposed to give considers. ton to safety an advance of pleasure

CUTTING GovEaNs1ENT EXPENSES

In a statement made some years ago it was declared that there was oupor' tunity for this government to effect economies of sSoO.OOO.Ooo. Those were the days when expenditures were not as large as they are today, and before there had been indulgence iii the ex- travagance connected with the war pe- riod t'f
 Nevertheless the opportunity for economy in the conduct of the nations $ business ia =J4 sza7 poSSsnle sss=s ia 6 thoroughly realized by the present. ad- ministration. Certain steps have been taken in that direction. Curtailed app propristions and the budget system are !. giving much relief and departmental re- organizations are expected to provide more. S-
 Opposition to changing methods ot administering the nations business IS one of the things that must be over- come. Even though such smethods are known to be expensive it ss not always easy to eliminate them. and yet such object lessons as that provided by Sec rstary Hoover ip the department oi commerce cannot very well go unno' ttced, when 1t Is shown In his annua- report that there has been a saving oi over three and quarter million, dollar, in the past fiscal year because of tAt organization efforts which he has beer able to accomplish. What is more at, tsntion canHot fail to Do attracted 0y hk further statement to the eftect that if i were possible to put other changes int Gffect there could be saved another mir lion. '-
 That Is a statement regarding ont department that shows the effect of ear nest effort in behalf of more efieien and less expensive administration. Jus what the other departments would re veal under the application of the saml policy there Is no way of telling. Thert Is no justification. however, for clingini 1. to poor hgs.Dses practices and what tn, Eecretary cs cncimarce disclo9eS in re gard to his department should strongl. , bolster up the efforts that are beini ', made by the administration for e1imi mating defeets and getting down to. sound business system.
