The Women's" Improvement Club held a very important meeting Wednesday afternoon. Many Interesting reports were received but the feature of the meeting was the election of officers.

Webber, manager of the opera houso, Mr. manager of the electric light the Woodland Band, all the local papers, the local management of telephone company, and especially 'to all the volunteer talent.

This swells the treasury to more than the started out to be raised before the initiatory toward the es- of a city park. The nominating committee made no for president of the of Clubs, but Mrs.

Thomas gives detailed history of the work the clu and is of sufficient importance to war rant its publication. It IB as follows The second year of the existence tbe Woodland Women's Improvemen closed today. Its work lu the tow and community has been sufficient! successful to Inspire confidence in permanent and useful future. In tl beginning the foundation was la broad, so that all succeeding effor might flnd their true place and value. As officers and members of the executive committee, we cannot but wish that the fruition of the year had been more abundant Our anxieties and good intentions must be your compen- for our mistakes or failures.

It has been a. pleasing discovery to region, and we are delighted to flnd how useful we can lie there, and how much we can further our own tastes and municipal ambitious thereby. We are learning, too, by our own mistakes, and each year will find us more efficient and successful, You recall that we have 17 departments of our work, the heads of which, together with our five officers, constitute our executive board. You will pardon me for simply enumerating these departments: The press, adver- ment, legislation, lecture bureau, park improvement, cemetery improvement, public library, fairs, forestry, street improvement, membership, museum, employment agency, decoration, reception, music and entertainment. Ten out of this number, the press, advertisement, lecture bureau, park Improvement, cemetery Improvement, public library, fairs, forestry, street improvement and membership, have done more or less permanent, substantial work along their particular lines.

Louis committee, at the request of the board supervisors, and their faithful, continuous service by helping to collect and prepare the Yolo county exhibit. Following that immediately was the successful work of our fairs' department in installing anil caring tor our display at the state fair. It is conceded by all that our prize medal was essentially won through the skill and wisdom ot this committee. The work of the lecture bureau is in reality the maintenance of a course of lectures in a town like ours gives it reputation and character abroad, while it 'cultivates a correct taste and sound intellectual habit In our community. When there Is so much that is trifling and enervating in the Idnd ot entertainment furnished our young people, this last is no unworthy consideration.

But in addition to all this the business side of it has been so well manipulated each year that a small sum has gone into the treasury for the park fund. The work of this committee is so heavy that beg your Indulgence while I suggest a way which appears to me would equalize the burden very much In the first place, the head of this department ought to be exempt from exacting demands in any other line. Hoi responsibility is heavy, and lasts al most through the-year. Then, if a list of the names of all persons or families available for these lectures, could be made In an orderly mannre infinite time and labor could be saved. This roll once made would be good for all time, with such slight yearly modifications as would naturally occur.

Then, a meeting of solicitors, to whom le roll would be submitted, each could loose as many and just such names appealed to her.
