Club and Society News
ORIGIN OF HELPING HAND CLUB

In the fall OF 1916 there lived as
nefghbors to Mrs. j. H. Miller. q
father with three motherless chill
dren, q three-year old girl and two
boys. AS the chill autumn days
came the mother heart of Mrs. Miller
was touched with sympathy for the
poorly clad little ones. After think
ing of their need. she decided to pro-
vide proper clothing and after a
thoro search thru all of the cloth
ing in her home, and with some new
goods and various patterns, was very
busy measuring and cutting when
Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Bible and Mrs.
w. Clark came in by chance for a
neighborly morning chat. Seeing
such a pile of sewing they wanted to
know what was up. When told they
said they, too, had been wondering
what the little ones were going to
do for clothing and offered their SER
vices. At o'clock the same day they
came back accompanied by Mrs.
Glassburn, all bringing more goods
and the five neighbor women cut and
sewed, but by night they had only
commenced.
Mrs. Johnson invited the women
to come to her home to finish sewing
and extra machines were provided.
AS the word of the good work had
spread six more names were added to
their list, and with one more day
spent in sewing, thirty-eight gar
ments were completed and three lit
tie motherless children made happy.
The ladies then discussed the best
way in which they might continue to
meet in this neighborly way. They
all agreed the best and most lasting
was to organize a woman's club. Mrs.
]. H. Miller was chosen chairman to
organize. The club was named the
Helping Hand. The programs con-
sist of papers pertaining to women's
work, discussions, current event
topics, readings and music.
Meetings are held twice each
month. The officers presiding at
the present time are Mrs. E. Ross,
president; Mrs. H. Fisher, vice-presi-
dent; Mrs. o. E. Decker, secretary
and treasurer.

American Legion is a national or
ganization, all mothers, sisters, and
wives of American Legion members,

object of this great group, is to as
sist ex-service men in every way,

CIVIC DEPARTMENT OF
CURRENT EVENT CLUB

The civic department of the Cur
rent Event club is new, having beer
organized in September, 1922. Wher
1t gets to functioning properly i
ought to be of great value to thu
club and to the community.
A chairman Is elected and she
selects three other members to worl
with her. At an early meeting a re-
port was given by Mrs. W. A. Nc
Vicar on all laws pertaining to
health and sanitation. Members
were surprised that we have some
of the laws that were read, and that
we lack some of the laws that we
requiring people, who sell milk, to
have their cows tested for tuber-
culosis, but such inspection can be
applied for by the owner of the COW
or herd, as it may be. Club mem
bers voted to ask their dairymen II
his cows had been tested.
1t is a proven fact that chickens
thru this section are also infected
with tuberculosis, from eating the
milk and living in yards, where dis
eased cattle run. 1t seems to the
writer that this is subject that
can't be laid on the table. Let the
women of this community get in
terested in something worth while
and see to it that our youth have at
least a chance. This is only one, OF
many issues that ought to be vitality
important as civic work.
Here is a suggestion made by
member for next years work. In
stead of throwing the responsibility
on one chairman, elect chairman In
each ward and get up little compe-
tition. Begin in the fall, or begin
ming of the club year, and lay out
plans for the people of your ward as
to recreation for the children and
identifying the grounds of parks or
private grounds, etc. Then the next
fall award prize to be given to the
ward deserving it. This member
suggested that the city mayor, farm
bureau head and one other person,
possibly from the country, should
Judge the work of the wards. Pos
,ibly the ball parks could be skating
inks in the winter. A general pride
Tor clean alleys and streets should
De emphasized at all times.
Another member suggested that
he club take an interest In the
,ity election and support those who
ire in favor of police matron. One
,nly needs to make an inspection |
lfter curfew hours to see the need OF
me. 1t is to be hoped that the civic
may function on all I'M
'ortant issues.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WOMEN

The following are some sug
gestions for a woman left to manage
her own affairs, by BlackfOo
woman, who has succeeded:
1. Keep out of speculation. Be
cause of lack of experience, woman
is not able to Judge, and she will
find, il it is known that she has
money, that she is much sought
after by spectators with many allur-
| ing schemes.
2. Consider things thoroly. Never
do anything impulsively.
3. Don't ask every mans advice.
You will soon find there are many
willing to give, 1t, but very few are
really good advisers.
4. Don't put your money In any
thing, where you cannot manage 1t
yourself.
S. Never consult banker He Is
often the poorest advisor you can
find.
6. A woman's greatest handicap Is
just being a woman. She Is not able
to get out and mingle and talk with
people, (who are men, OF course)
commercial travellers especially, who
are travelling over the country and
know conditions first-hand. These
conditions are talked over freely,
and experiences exchanged in hotel
Hobbies, or on street corners,
wherever these men meet. This Is
a wonderful source of information
open to men, but not to women.
Z. consider nothing better than
county warrants for the woman in
weston. Consult the district attorney.
g. First mortgages on farm loans
l also consider safe. always see the
farm and be sure that 1t is good
one.)
8. Never take second mortgage.
TO- Never take loan on resi-
dence. N>it should be necessary for
the property you may
and that up-keep, ETC., may eat up
all your profit before you are able
to dispose Of it. A business build
ing Is all right II in good location.
I consider q woman just as capable
in handling affairs as man. What
,he needs Is training.
