so much sickness the attendance was
not large. President Mrs. A. E. Bor-
chardt acted as chairman, with Miss
Esther Rugland recording the min
utes.
Following the business meeting the
program for the evening was an
| nounced by Mrs Ann Anderson. Rev.
Chas. Swanson was a guest speaker.
His subject was, "Woman's Activities"
which was very appropriate and in
structive. There are places where
women must take the leadership as
| in the home where it is a mothers
duty to instruct the youth of that
home, by living right" he stated. 81 he
women should interest themselves in
community work such as the school,
church, Fairgrounds, community Ii
| braries and other social activities
that have been started in their COM
munity. They should also interest
themselves in national and interna-
tfonal relations. See that all women
of the community are citizens"
Rev. Swanson gave as an example
of woman activities, the life of Jane
Adams about whom all club women
should read. He suggested for pro-
gram the representation of some of
the countries by dress and activity.
Some of the club women are only one
generation from their native Land.
This program should be very inter-
esting if properly presented.
Other numbers on the program were
a vocal selection by Andrew VAIL
strom, END of A Perfect Day" and
"Duno," accompanied by Miss Bochek;
piano solo by Minnie Bochek, Chopin

During the community club business
meeting the question came up about
withdrawing from the state organiza-
ton, so that the dues for this affiliation
could be used for some other purpose.
1t is only Csc year for each member.
For this the member receives the
Directory, which is full of sugges-
tions for club work, besides a copy
of the Minnesota Clubwoman which
gives activities of clubwOmen all over
the state. This book alone is worth
more than 25 cents to the active
club was organized in 1915 or there
abouts, and some of the active men,
berS today are charter members and
would not like to withdraw from the
state organization.
The local school opened again Mon
day after being closed Thursday and
Friday of last week on account of
sickness from colds and influenza.
While the attendance is not yet up
to normal, Superintendent c. D. AJAX
hus felt that closing for these two
days would have a tendency to stop
the Infection from spreading to other
pupils and give those who were al
ready ill a chance to recuperate. 1t
makes it bad at this time as so many
were absent for the six weeks test.
Miss Adelaide Isaacson came Sun
day from Atwater, where she is en-
ployed in cafe, to visit her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. IsaacSOn. Mrs.

people in to play cards. Friday night
she and her mother were entertained
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Schutt.
Mr.. IsaacsOn is night Waterman in
the village.
The ladies of the community gave
Mrs. Nina Nyrud a linen shower
party at her home Friday night and
helped her with a good housewarmiag.
A house is not a home until it is
opened to friends and neighbors such
as this gathering which was enjoyed.
They were entertained by playing five
hundred A delicious lunch was
served and the linen packages opened.
Mrs R. T. Addington, Mrs. Otto Reuer,
