! assembly day in October. BY request
Mrs. Campbell reported for the press,
| none of the members of that committee
| being present, and none having been
active in the work during the year.
Section reports were interesting, all
having had IL successful year. Mrs.
Fleming reported for the history see
tion which has had a profitable year
of study, Mrs. f. b. Fuller told of the
music section which has had a series of
programs of high order that have at
tracted n large membership for the
section, approximately 40 belonging to
it at this time. Mrs. r. M. Gill re-
ported for the Twice Told Tales which
has its limited membership filled and
which has met twice each month
throughout the year. The literature
section was reported by Mrs. y. D.
Jacobs in the absence Of the chairman,
Mrs. r. b. Whitclaw. Mrs. Leroy Holt,
section curator, talked briefly urging,
that all section members be loyal first,
to the mother club, and then to the
section.
The officers reports were all good,

been carried on III orderly and efficient
manner. The treasurer s report was es-
pccially gratifying, with a good bal
ancc in the fund for the clubhouse pro-
ject. The organization closes the year
with membership of 1913.
Mrs. George j. Phelps installed the
Officers using q novel and effective
ceremony, after which the club ad-
iiourned for luncheon at the Barbara
Worth.
The after luncheon program included
violin selection by Prof Horace Will
liams accompanied by Mrs. Williams,
vocal numbers by Miss Julia Foncan-
non, accompanied by Mrs. Bert Brewer,
and Mrs. c. w. Allison accompanied by
Mrs. Wilbur Randall. All Of these
numbers were exceptionally fine and
received hearty applause. A Grecian
dance by three little girls, pupils of
Mrs. Wooda Blessy, was pretty. The
little girls were attractively costumed
ana were graceful as only children can
be.
The reports of Mrs. Glassford and
Mrs. Kepley on the state convention in
Los Angeles We're given ut the morning
session, each telling of the points that
especially interested her. The most in
teresting features of the reports were
the little personal descriptions and i'm
pressions Of speakers. 1t was a notable
gathering, both agreed
An important discussion of the day
was ON the Barber bill, which was
brought up on motion to rescind the
action of the club at it's previous meet

vas lost on the ruling of the president,
that without previous notice, motion

WITH THE TEN THOUSAND CLUB

WITH THE TEN THOUSAND CLUE
The Fourteenth year of the Ten
Thousand club came to n close yester
day, the activities of the day beginning
at 1880 a. m. with the reports Of of
ticers and chairmen of standing com
mittees, after which unfinished busi
ness was completed and new Officers
installed.
The outstanding event of the year is
the beginning of the clubhouse which
will be ready for use in the autumn
when the organization reassembles. But
other things have been done that were
worth recOunting and the reports were
intensely interesting.
Mrs Roy Thompson reported briefly
for the year book committee which
planned programs for the general ses-
sions of the year, recommending that
some money be allowed the year book
committee of the coming season with
which to buy talent. Two outside
speakers were before the club this last
year, Mrs. George Turner of Riverside,
and Miss Ethel Philips of Los Angeles.
Otherwise the programs had been given
by local talent.
The greatest difficulty the house com
mittee had during the year according
to report of the chairman, Mrs. G. j.
Ritz, was in procuring place for reg
ular meetings of the club. The decor
atng committee has been active i'll
decorating for meetings and special
functions of the year.
The ways and means committee, Mrs.
$. J.. Allen chairman, sponsored many
affairs during the year and turned into
the treasury u total of $6S7 as a result.
They will give the jitney dance tonight
and possibly another next Friday night
with q hope of increasing the amount
considerably.
The report of Mrs. f. w. Judy for
the social service committee was one Of
the most interesting of the day and
showed the club has not been unmind
full Of community interests during the
year. Returns from two rummage sales
practically financed the social service
work. The committee cOoperated with
the Red Cross, and contributed $40 per
month to that organization for relief
work. The same amount was paid into
the maintenance fund of the woman s
rest room.
Mrs. +. d. Jacobs, chairman of leg
islatiOn, reported on activities of her
committee in bringing before the or
aanization pending legislation, and
Mrs. Burritt S. Allen told of the work
of the civic committee, which has been
largely the crystalizing of public sent
iment on needed improvements. She
also told of her work, begun near the
close of the year, on AmericanizatiOn.
Mrs. Howard Meyer reported for the
social committee, which gave the
Thanksgiving ball, the Christmas party,
the children s party and the closing

GIRL RESERVES
BANQUET PARENTS

The banquet given last night by the
high school Girl Reserves in compi-
ment to their parents was attended by
150 or more, and was among the most
delightful social events of the year.
The girls planned the banquet; cooked
the menu themselves and served it with
perfect grace and ease.
Tables We're arranged in the form
of q triangle, symbolic of the Y. w. c.
A., all adorned with flowers artistical-
ly arranged. Mrs. George j. Phelps,
Mrs. r. b. Kepley aud Mrs. E. P. Garth
waite headed the three tables. A not
able feature was the large number of
fathers who accepted invitations.
After the serving, Miss Cornelia
Clark, president of the Girl Reserves,
introduced Miss Margaret Julian as
toastmistress and the following pro-
gram was carried out after the toast
mistress had paid a pretty compliment
to the popular leader of the organiza-
ton, Miss Clark:
"NatiOnal Girl Reserves Miss Flor
ence Spring; "Givl Reserves" Mrs.
Edward Garthwaite; vocal selections,
Miss Fern Leach.
r.. II Clark, high school trustee,
spoke on the "father IS view of Girl
Reserves. - Mrs. Burritt Allen spoke
on "the mother s view of Girl Re
serves" Miss Elizabeth Greer played
piano solos.
The next group of speakers were
Mrs. r. B. Kepley on "The Girl Re-
serve at Home;" Mrs. Phelps on "The
Girl Reserves Ideals;" Beaulah Will
loughby on sour Leaders;' Blanche
Cummings on "The Girl Reserves at
Camp Mary Flynn and Margaret
Mason contributed vocal solos and the
program ended with jolly songs by the
Girl Reserves.
The president of the El Centre board
presented the bugle for camp, over
which the girls were hilariOusly happy,

L Ltl-N lI1)
Mrs. A. p. Shibley was hostess yes
terday afternoon to the teachers of the
elementary schools of FL Centre, nearly
the entire corps being present. The
afternoon was in the nature of q get
together party and all enjoyed it inn
mensely. Most of the guests brought
handwOrk which busies their fingers
while they visited. Many of the guests
expect to return to Ell Centre next fall,
but some will not, and the party of
yesterday is probably the last at which
all of them will be together. The in
vited guests were Mrs. Bailies G..
Walker, retiring trustee of the district,
Miss Ella M. Anderson, Miss Marjorie
Brewer, Miss Carrie f. Chandler, Miss

COURTHOUSE NEED TOLD

COURTHOUSE NEED TOLD
1t needed no argument to conyince
the women Of the Ten Thousand club
that the courthouse is a necessity but
the facts concerning the situation a9
presented yesterday afternoon to- the
Ten Thousand club by w. ID. Carey
were interesting and enlightening.
Mr. Garey told the women of the val
liable records that are kept at hazard
III closets and crowded vaults, and of
the old ramsfackle building s which,
he said, no corporation would be per
mitted to transact business because it
is unsafe. He told of the handicapa
1.nder which officials and their depu-
ties work and said that in no other
county had they ever tried to do pub
lie business so long without court
house.
Mr.. Carey explained methods of rails
ing money for such a building, show
ing that bond issue is by far prefer
able by direct taxation. The $500, ,000
bond issue at 5 per cent will not add
greatly TO the tax rate spread Us it will
be over term Of 40 years and interest
on the total amount Of the bonds will
not exceed 81 cents on the + 600, he
said.
The speaker urged the women to
stay in the valley until after the
election June II and to try to get their
friends to do the same.
