business and pleasure in her travels.
She investigated plans for a com
munity cannery and after her talk,
which was very instructive, the pres
ident called on each member present
for opinions of the plans, etc. There
seemed to be a favorable feeling as
to the plan of going ahead and in
connection with the laundry secure
suitable quarters for both.
The social hour was one of real
pleasure under the management of
Mrs. Shannon, Mrs. Lilly and Mrs.
Christley. The latter gave a short
talk on art. Mrs. Smith won first
prize in the drawing contest and
Mrs. Snell first and Mrs. Buell con
solation prizes in the guessing con

Substantial refreshments were
served. The next regular meeting
