Proportional Representation is being used in elective i : bodies not only in our own country and in Canada, but in several countries of Furope. It is a subject well worth our attention. "History and the Significance of our Political Parties" is the | subject of the lecture to be given by Professor P. O. Ray of the Department of Political Science of Northwestern University, on Friday, April 23, at the Winnetka Woman's club. Both Professor James and Professor Ray are experts in the subjects upon which they are to speak. Being so widely known we are sure that there will be a large attendance on both days. It is hoped that many who could not arrange to take the entire course of six lectures will find the op- portunity of attending as many as possible. Single admission may be obtained at the door on the day of each lecture. _--------.-------------- and the recently organized fund for tornado sufferers, one hardly feels he has any extra places for his money these days. However, the Red Cross, preceding its annual drive for subscriptions, has given the Camp Tire Girls, all over the country, an opportunity to make a little money toward their own particular funds. and each Camp Fire member is busy these last few days extracting sub- | scriptions from her friends and neighbors for the Red Cross maga- zine. which we all became so well acquainted with during the war. The present rate is $2.00 for a two year subscription; forty cents of that amount goes to the Camp Fire Fund. There is also a cash fund of $10.00 offered to the first girl who turns in 100 subscriptions. Let everyone help the girls carry their fund "Over the Top." - Mrs. Herbert A.
