ings and for the large club meetings.
The house is furnished throughout
in .mission furniture, old English finish,
green crex rugs being used. Six
beautiful oil paintings were generously
given by a friend in the North.
The general arrangement of the
house shows good taste and is particularly
pleasing as well as convenient.
i
In the reading room there are
three hundred books, and about
twenty of our best monthly magazines,
also several popular weekly
magazines, the daily State, and our
local newspapers. We expect to increase
the number of books this winter.
Quite a number take advantage
of the reading room.
In the music room there is a piano
and a Victrola. Music is a special
feature of every club meeting.
The game room is supplied with

These same tables are used in the
sewing school, and for crochet
classes. The smaller children have
blocks and animals to play with.
The kitchen is equipped for the
cooking classes.

PROGRAM FOR ORGANIZATION
Of the Work of the National League
for Woman's Service.
(Under the auspices of the National
Department of Labor.)
The League for Woman's Service
has established a Bureau for Registration
and Information in Washington
under the supervision of the Seccetary
of the Department of Labor,
and this Bureau will proceed at once
with the registration of the women
of the country for the purpose of
ascertaining what service each woman
registered can render.
This registration will be turned in
as information to the Government.
Thousands of women will be needed
by the Government at this time. The
LWgue for Woman's Service is not
only furnishing the Government with
this necessary information, but will

the following clubs: (1) A Mothers'
Club, (2) Group I, Camp Fire Girls,
(3) Group II, Camp Fire Girls, (4)
Club for Young Men, (5) Club for
Girls under 12 years old, (6) Club
for Boys under 12, (7) Classes in
Cooking, (8) Classes in Sewing, (9)
Song Service.
All of these clubs hold weekly
meetings. Our clubs emphasize one
feature not usually found in community
work, that of Bible study.
Each club spends about 30 minutes
in Bible study at each meeting.
Another most important feature
of the work is the milk station. Milk
is supplied to ten babies twice a day
free of cost.
The Mothers' club through its
various organizations is doing a really
big work. Through its Civic
League it is trying to make the village
more beautiful and trying to
make it more healthy by fighting the
fly and mosquito. Clean-up days
were observed in April and we are
-l j.
trying to make ours tne cieanesu
village in the State. A tin can brigade
was organized and every tin
can in the village was made away
with. The mill company offers a
prize for the prettiest flower garden
and quite a number are working
hard, more for the love of beauty
than for the prize.
The mill company broke up the
land for the gardens and about 90
per cent, have splendid gardens.
We have organized two canning
clubs which expect to meet weekly
at the community house, can fruit
and vegetables for winter use, the

young women are now in training in
the wireless school in New York

men in wireless stations throughout
this country who will be called into
the foreign service and the Navy.
Clerks of various capacities are
needed in Government offices
throughout the country. Filing
clerks, record clerks, stenographres,
typists, telephone and telegraph operators,
operators for signaling and
map-reading. But the Government
will only take those who measure up
to the required standards, and it is
for this reason-that the League has
undertaken the work of training
women for these posts. They must
pass the Government examinations.
The League has established eleven
departments, to-wit:
