The women of Valley and vielnity afford an admirable illustration of what may bu accomplished through unity of effort re- wardless of the narrow! sect. For many years organization of that place was the Wor Christian Temperance union, which from the usual temperance work, devoted its efforts to study and self-improvement. many women in the community who were more interested fu the more general work of the Womens" elub rather than that of the Womens' Chris- tian Temperance union, and desiring that all women might come lu touch with cach other through organized effort, the matter - was talked over and on March 8 of this year the Valley Womans' club was or- ganized with fourteen members. A mem. bership fee of 10 cents was charged those joining during the first three months and those coming in later were charged 25 cents. As both organizations drew their members from some distance in the country and as the majority of the women were_ in- terested in both the club and the union, it ‘was decided to hold both meetings on the same day. The union meets once a month for busi- ness, occupying the first hour of the after- noon, and the club twice a month, the sce- ond and fourth Thursdays, from 3 until § o'clock. The first hour is devoted to busi- ness and the second to soclabllity, which usually takes the form of a kemsington, all the members bringing thelr work ex- cepting the reader, who f chosen at the meeting previous.

Still the women were not satisfled and they determined to subscribe to the State Travellng Library assoclation that they might have books all of the time, and accordingly the necessary $40 was d the club is now in correspondence with the secretary regarding their selection of books, In addition to this achlevement they are working for a permanent free town library, and on Monday evening last a meeting’ w called of the town council and representa- tive citizens to discuss the project and de- clde how much assistance the town could give It aside from the 2 mill levy allowed by law. The plan proposed by the womaa was well received, but it was belleved best to allow them. to continue In charge of the work, recelving its funds and donatioms. It will be impossible to make a levy for its support this year, however. But at the regular councll meeting to be held Monday evening that body is to camsider what financial help it can giye out of the funds already on hand, At its last meeting the union decided to apply for aid in the support of a collection from thé Purity Circulating library, founded by Rev. A. J. Wheeler of Craig elare, N. Y. It is o free traveling library offered to any union that will eirculate and care for its books and pay a yearly fee in proportion to its abllity. collection, it is thought, will prove a valuable addi- tion to the books of the Nebraska Travel- ing Library commission. It is the ambition of the women, and they bid fair to realizs it, to secure to the town of Valley, within the coming five yeass, & free library of at least 1,000 volumes. Their unselfish work and fts value has recelved recognition throughout the community and the men are ] willing to co-operate With them is thelr efforts.
