During the past year the regular
work of the club has been directed by
Mrs. Donald Gold, president; Mrs. j.

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
CLUB

The Twentieth Century Club was
organized in March, 1913 with a
membership of twenty. The first Of
ficers were Mrs. C. w. Street, pre-
sident; MRS. T. E. Finn. vice presi-
dent; Mrs. j. ]. Christensen, secre-
tary; Mrs. Bess M. Wilson, and Mrs.
C. A. Neufert, sergeant-at-arms. The
meetings were to be held at the
homes Of the members on the first
and third Monday afternoons Of each
month from three to five. The menu
bership was later increased to twen-
ty-five active and a short list of re-
tired members. Eight of the present
members are charter members.
The club was first organized as
strictly a Study Club and devoted the
FIRST two years to the study of the
United States. Since then the pro-
grams have been of a miscellaneous
character.
In April 1917 we Joined the State
Federation and since that time have
been doing more civic and social
work. Donations of money, books,
magazines and files have been made
to the Public Library; Health bonds
have been purchased and aid given on
other projects.
The club sponsored the serving OF
milk to the underweight school chill

Interesting Items From The
Gazette in Boomers
November Is, 1895

In looking over a time-worn and
yellowed copy of the Redwood Ga
zette of November %, 1895, publish
ed by the women of the Presbyterian
church, one finds many items of inter-
est, especially to those who have iv-
ed in Redwood Falls for some time
One item mentions an important
event in the history of Redwood Falls
and vicinity. 1t announces that j. A.
Dalzell, an attorney for the Mime
apolis & ST. Louis railroad, has secur-
ed from Messrs J. Tyson & Co., a
right of way for a wagon road" be-
tween Redwood Falls and Morton,
running parallel with the railroad
tracks and located wholly on the
south side of the tracks, thus avoid
ing all danger from passing trains.
The firm of Tyson & Co. were public
ly thanked for their generosity in
donating the land for this purpose.
Joseph Tyson IS citizen and pro-
perty owner of our town at the pre-
sent time. His interest in the well
fare and beauty of the community
has been shown by his part in making
Ramsey State Park attractive, also
by his present activity in the Garden
and Flower Club which he organized
a few years ago. With the help OF
some of the devoted members of the
Flower Club, Mr.. Tyson has trans
formed some unsightly places about
town into beauty spots which are a
source of pride and pleasure to us all.
One of these little parks is placed at
the junction of Highways A, Ia and II
on Bridge street, where for many
months of the year those who travel
through here by auto, are refreshed
and cheered by the beautiful flowers
growing in this wayside park.
So in this Woman's Club edition of
the Gazette, it is our privilege to
thank Mr.. Tyson for another public
spirited enterprise, which he is now
carrying on with great energy and
enthusiasm.
We notice also some personals of
a matrimonial nature. One prosper

Redwood Falls, the
Ideal Home Town
Beautifully Situated, Splendid
Religious, Educational and
Social Advantages

There are few who are unfamiliar
with "The Man Without Country
by Edward Everett Hale. Sir Walter
Scott has used the story in writing of
the desolation Of that wretch" who,
without pride in country, despised of
his fellow-men, goes to his grave sun
wept, unhonored and unsung." AL
most equally forlorn is the man who
feels neither pride in his town nor
enthusiasm for the achievements of
his fellow citizens,-the man who
cannot say with Edgar A. Guest:
"The hometown skies seem bluer
Than skies that stretch away.
The hometown friends seem truer
And kinder through the day;
And whether glum or CHEEKY
Light-hearted or depressed,
: Or struggle-fit or weary,
I like the hometown best"
So loyalty and REGARD for ones
place of residence may be referred as
it were, to a type of miniature pat
riotism, for all good citizens are cog
infant of the fact that they live, not
only in the grandest country, but IN
the finest town in the best state OF
the grandest country.
Redwood Falls is happily located in
fertile Southwestern Minnesota on
the Redwood River in close proximity
to Ramsey State Park. 1t is not a
large town, having fewer than three
thousand inhabitants, but it boasts
of worthy achievements and fine in
1uences which would do credit to
much larger population. Chief among
these are always religious and edu-
cztional institutions.
Eight organized church denomina-
lions are represented, each guided by

Message Of the
District President
Mrs. McRae Describes the Ideal
Club and It's Aims and
Activities

There are one hundred fifteen clubs,
members of the State and District
declarations and eleven other clubs
in the county organizations only,
which gives the Second District one
hundred twenty-six splendid clubs.
These clubs realize that the watch
word of business today is efficiency
and that the business of being club
woman is an important business.
We, as club women, are members
of the great organization of the Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, and every
club member should be awake to the
opportunities and responsibilities of
club life.
An ideal club has three main pur-
Study, Sociability and Service.
The first two seem quite easy of ac-
complishment, but the last, that of
Service, and perhaps, the most i'm
portant appears a bit more difficult,
or may be the difficulty is in choosing
some particular project of service.
The time is past when club of mere
ly cultural and social purposes is of
any particular value to other than
it's own membership, for it is not SO
much what we do at our club meet
ing that counts, but how we register
on our communities, that stamps our
value.
The large majority of the clubs of
the Second District have responded
splendidly to their opportunities for
Service have planted thousands
of trees, sponsored lyceum courses,
established libraries, financed All
Clubs, Boys Scouts and Campfire
Girls projects, provided playground
equipment, assisted with health elm
les and Christmas Seal drives, etc.
AS club women and as individuals
let us emphasize at all times, not
only the physical betterment of our
but a deeper and more
profound spiritual enrichment as
well.
The Federation has recognized the
needs of the various communities by
many departments of work
which increase the joyousness of iv-
ing and enlarge our opportunities for
service-Three of the outstanding de-
partments are; American Citizenship,
American Home and Education.
Under American Citizenship comes
for citizenship and law OBJ
good citizen must have
an understandable knowledge Of
the ideals of our Government and Of
The Constitution Of our great United

Glinlpses of 3 Centuries of Minnesota
Valley History and History Makers
From the Central Point of Ac-
ton and Observation in the
Vicinity of Redwood Falls
(By HI. M. Hitchcock)

Many members of numerous groups
of women's clubs in many communl-
ties in all parts of the Second Con-
gressional District of Minnesota plan
to gather at Redwood Falls for con-
ference and discussion Of many pre-
sent problems.
The Second District occupies a
large portion Of the Minnesota Valley
region, and during the Indian period
of it's history and through its transit
ton to exclusive white ownership,
events at any point between Big
Stone Lake and the junction of the
Mississippi was important and quick
ly known to every other place along
the river.
As the vicinity of Redwood Falls
has at many times been a central
gathering place for conference and
action during the different periods of
Minnesota Valley history, this review
of former meetings and events and
problems is presented as prelude to
the meeting of this season.
Thos. Hughes of Mankato, the
Minnesota Valley historian, has . jar
of parched Indian corn and other
relics from the earliest known oc-
cupants Of the Minnesotx Valley, the
Mound builders. These relics were
taken from mounds near Mankato-
One of their prominent structures
was at the junction Of the Redwood
River with the Minnesota River.
Doubtless at that earliest time there
was mutual acquaintance and COM
mon interests between the group q
the valley.
When Radisson and Duluth and
Hennepin ventured westward to the
Mississippi, all Of Minnesota waz but
part of the area extending Tar weHf

BORAH DEMANDS
ACTION ON SILVER
Holds U. S. Should Insist 1t
Be Given RightfuI PLACE in
Economic Affairs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NAMPA, Idaho, June ia demand
that the United States insist, through
international agreement, that silver be
given its rightful place in economic af-
fairs" was made here by Senator Will
liam E. Borah in an address before the
Southwest Idaho Bar Association yes
terday.
Taking as his text the steady falling
off in American foreign trade, he said
little could be expected from develop
ment of present European markets, but
that the great field lay in Russia and
China with their 560,000,000 of people.
He said that IAN ill-advised, if not
selfish, policy with reference to the use
of silver in China has reduced the pur-
Chasing power of China by one-hIlt
within the last few years. In fact, this
same policy has not only reduced the
purchasing power of China, but it has
reduced the purchasing power of nearly
|One-half of the human family.
There isn't anything more impera-
tive at this time to the restoration of
the purchasing power of China and the
|Oriental countries than the restoration
|cf silver to its rightful place in the
monetary world, and from which it was
taken by sheer governmental action,
destructive and brutal in its effect
If we have any initiative, any leader
ship left in this country, let us take
hold of this problem and insist, through
|1nternational agreement, that silver be
given its r1ghtful place in economic af-
fairs"

Commission on Unemployment Insur-
ance, which estimated these were cost
ing the employment fund some f5,0O0,-

The bill provides machinery for wiping
out such abuses among four classes of
persons. These are workers who earn sub
stantial sums while drawing the dole for
unemployment in their usual occupation;
seasonal workers; persons who normally
work not Nmore than two days weekly
and married women who have ceased to
be normally employed in insurable en-
ployment.
Additional regulations are provided
which would enable the minister OF
labor to deal effectively with cases IN
such classes.
