And yet it is a glass through we which look On wonderland and marvels without stint. It is a key which will unlock the gate Of distance and of time and circumstance, A wand that makes the wires articulate With hum of trade and whisper of romance! Somehow there is enchantment in each pageThe whirr of wheels, the murmurs of the mart, The myriad mighty voices of the age, The throbbing of the great world's restless heart.

Such are the sounds this volume seems to store For him who feels the magic of its thrall, Who views the vistas it unrolls before His eyes that scarce can comprehend them all! Here is the guide to all the vast extent The wires have bound together; this will show The way to help when need is imminent, When terror threatens or when life burns low; This brings the lover to his heart's desire That he may speak to her o'er hill and lea, This is the secret of the singing wire To all the "world without" this is the key!

It has been requested that the article regarding the Housewives league, the Argus-Leader on last Wednes- day night, should be copied on the Woman's page tonight. The same is given below: In the following statement of principles which govern the proposed organization of Sioux Falls housewives in their plan to lower the high cost of living through concerted action, the committee of the league contributes an explanation of their attitude: The Housewives' league committee, feeling that the meeting Tuesday evening aroused the interest of all those present, wish to lay a few suggestions before the women of Sioux Falls, especially those not present at this meeting.

Each organization has its own problems to solve and the following questionre may you be satisfied suggestive: with the present market conditions? Are the marketing facilities such as to bring the producer in closer touch with the consumer? Are the sanitary conditions of your shops and grocery stores satisfactory? Have you a commission on weights measures and are the laws regarding same enforced? Are the tradesmen dealing with you fairly in regard to prices; as to weight; as to quality? Are you considering demands for several deliveries daily, increase prices? How many pounds of potatoes and apples should you get for a peck? How many do you get How many housewives have kitchen scales and use them? The Housewives' league platform: To organize the America for educational, "constructive and defensive work for the home. To and obtain fair prices for all commodities. To -bring together the producer and consumer with this ohject in view: To demand and obtain clean shops. demand and obtain pure products all kinds, products Tor which shall be what they are represented to be. In short, to work for honesty, quality, efficiency and a square deal for all.

Now do the women of Sioux Falls want such an organization? It is only by concerted action we can get results. Every woman in the city will be given this a chance to ally herself with work; the dues are very light, perhaps 15 5 or 20 cents a year. The league button has been registered as a trade mark and is worn by thousands of housewives all over the land. It is a significant fact that in places where the league is organized, the housewives get a square deal, and why not? Every merchant realizes that the women spend 90 per cent of the money spent in our country. They have the power of the dollar back them and why not use this power holt the betterment of homes in which are being reared the future citizens of the nation.

Now is the time to act and how many women will rally to the support of this movement? Phone to Mrs. D. E. A. Lundquist, Mrs.

M. Scott. Mrs. M. H.

Egan, or Mrs. Mabel Dockstader. The evening program on Thursday, given at 'All Saints school in order to introduce Mr. T. Austin-Ball, the vocal teacher, was opened by Mr.
