There were 17 calls The secretary's report was read and accepted. Nellie Lincoln our treasurer said that she had sent the Light Line package to India for Mrs. Ramer the missionary from Presbyterian Church She will get the package next fall when she and her family return to India from Grinnell. There is $48.00 in our treasury. It was moved, seconded and passed that we raise our quota from $3.00 to $5.00 for narcotic educ. This will be sent to our state treasurer Harriett McCollough. Miss Keister read a letter she wrote to the City Council to keep beer out of the By-Lo Grocery. I signed the letter and delivered it. It did no good, as the council gives the permission with no hesitation. I have a short report about "Liquor in Women" and Women in Liquor? Women are worse than men when they are drunk. Their rouge and mascara run all over their faces. The look awful and they are miserable. The collection was taken Mildred Jones invited us to her home for the May meeting.
