the room you will use when entertaining- These are all good leasons for having it
inviting. A pretty Dining Table will make vour Dining Room more attractive than
any other piece of furniture. We have them in all designs, woods and finishes.
Prices to suit the most economical as well as those desiring the most expensive. -
From $12.50 to $250.
Mrs. Robert Zahnsr s Report of Biennial Cenvehtioh
Made at Macen Wednesday
Madame chairman:
The general Federation of Clubs con
vener! In St. Paul, Minn., on May
and adjourned on June 9. These nine
days were full of work and strenuous,
even for those who could rest between
lire seaalona. For the officer*, and «*-
redally the president, they must have
been very fatiguing. But they were
very delightful days and full of en
thusiastic Interest.
About 1,500 delegates were there, and
representatives from clubs from many
hart* of the world: there were also the
not Iona 1 president of the affiliated
-notations, notably that of the Congress,
"1 Mothers, the International Sunshine
Slrietyr-and the American Out-door
Art League, etc.
I do not Intend, of course, to repeat
the report I gave to the Atlanta Worn-
ms' Hub, nor must 1 give ybit any of
1 ne detail work of the great body of
"‘omen: the most that 1 can do is to
deliver the messages sent you from a
lew of the great committees nnd to ful-
till Mrs. I locker's desire that the seates
be made more familiar with the great
alms of the General Federation.
Three large buildings were necessary
in accommodate the business part of
ihe convention. For the exhibits and
'mil headquarters the old capItol was
used; for the general meetings, the
Armory, seating about 5.000 people;
uni for the social conferences the large
■Vatial Presbyterian church.
As in the state exhibits I heard sev-
" r “l delegates say tha( the Improve-
iienis was very marked, not only In
■urangemem, hut In the quality. The
I'uK l>m| "object lessons" formed a
I'smmld In the center of the court at
1 'upitol, 30 or 40 feet high, and
Hits exhibit also occupied several large
i" ms. Every article woe fully labeled.
Siring, the adulterant, the preservative,
tin coloring mutter, etc. The Minnesota
“dry Association had placed on ex-
mbit large glass cuss* containing tu-
benu'.ar beef with every - facility for
examining same. The Art and
' rafia committees of the va-
Lons states had perhaps the
i At best exhibit. There were large
' . the walls of which were tilled
V; 1 !' lll « state loan art collectiona, also
mi Kinds of exquisite pottery and carv-
n;;s. Notable among the handcrafts
'cere the embroideries and basketry of
■Massachusetts, mentioned because
route one who was lecturing remarked
1 ■«' will have a refining Influence upon
'! rl ‘ mid crafts all over the country.
' notable Improvement, she said. Is
•> -" observed In the weaving and car-
! ■ 'Halting of the women of the moun-
'•ruts of Tennessee, Kentucky and the
1 arollms. Mrs. Granger bad arranged
,alll b table with exhibits from the
riti'saohusctts-Oeorgla school at Cass
tatloit: some of the work was very
ami a notice of Ibis work appear-
n one of the papers. Bui. women
,.|p • it>orsrin farfapoHnn tli!nlf. nf this
labor committee was our Mrs. Granger,
and she had a most delightful meet
ing and a very ottentive audience.
Mrs. Granger had printed and dlstrib
Uted a leaflet containing these three
Items for work In the state:
1. A child labor law, which shall
forbid all work between the hours of
7 |E m. and 7 a. m. for children under
16 years of age.
5. A compulsory education law,
which shall require all children to at
tend school during the full school year
of the stale and until they shall have
passed the sixth grade of the grammar
school.
3. A law compelling the registration
of births In each county of the state.
The committee on household econom
ics gave Its special attention this year
to pure food and Its sessions were of
unusual Interest, coming a* It did at the
time when the Hepburn bill, which the
senate had passed, was about to die
In house: and also when large exhibits
of diseased beef nnd adulterated
canned goods were In dally evidence.
In reply to many telegrams to our rep
resentatives at Washington, not only
from the General Federation, but also
from each state, one of the congress
men from Minnesota wired that these
telegrams hod changed the whole as
pect of the bill, and that there were
"now enough favorable votes In the
house lo pass the bill,” and before the
convention adjourned Mr. Hepburn
telegraphed that the women of the
federation had saved the day nnd the
bill was passed. Since then Georgia
has passed a pure.food bill. In rela
tion to this a message was sent the
states by the chairman: The question
of pure food Is now for the consumer
alone. No law can compel you to buy
food that has nut the manufacturer's
name on the label, and club women
should take a stand against Impure
food, iiatent medicines, etc., and must
COMPULSOR Y ED UCA 71 ON
INDORSED BY WOMEN
Federation of Clubs Assembled in Maeou—Devotes First
Day’s Session to Important Subject—Mrs. .Taekson
to Resign as President.
By SELENE ARMSTRONG.
Special lo Tire Georgian.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 7.—The event
ot Wednesday afternoon's session
of the tenth annual convention
of the State Federation of Woman’s
Clubs was the adoption of resolutions
by delegates Indorsing compulsory ed
ucation. This comes as the logical se
quence to the strenuoue work done by
the Georgia club women In effecting
the passage of the cbl|d labor bill. It
Is understood that the women'* clubs
of Georgia will now take up (he sub
ject of computaory education and will
strive for legislation enacting such a
law.
The main topic of discussion or the
clubs now assembled In Macon la the
rumor which, though not officially con
firmed, Is well founded—that the resig
nation of Mrs. James Jackson, now
president of the state federation, will
be tendered before the convention le
over.
It Is believed that either Mrs, M. A.
Lipscomb, of Athens, or Mrs. W.
Humphreys, of West Point, the vice
presidents, will be elevated to the pres
idency.
The matter Is causing great specula,
tlon among Ihe women at the conven
tion.
see that the laws regarding them are ' “ r JhavTbeen'ntade
rt win n.i, , itnacninnintia teaorawon secretaries nave oeen maue
purse, a condition that cannot "always
prevail." Doubtless It would take gome
time to arrange these yearly dales, but
In the end It would bring a closer
touch and a larger growth to both the
stale and General Federation.
Mrs. Decker showed herself a One
presiding officer. She has patience, hu
mor, tact, a ready word to tide over
any occasion. And tlic executive board
of the General Federation Is producing
some women whose personalities are
going to count and whose Influence will
be felt. The merit system Is practiced,
and no one con be nominated for presi
dent, I am Informed, who lius not serv
ed on the executive board or who Is not
a member of the board. This Is a good
rule and lias grown out of the Inex
perience of the flrst few years. As the
"oigla federation, think of this

over 800,000 women refuse to buy them.
The committee on forestry asks the
Atlantic states to aid In preserving
from destruction by the lumbermen the
great Apalschlah forests and have this
added to our national forest reserves
now numbering nearly 90,000,000 acres
all under the control of the United
States department of agriculture.
One of the most Important commit
tees Is the watch-dog of the federation,
the legislative committee. This mes
sage we were asked to deliver:
After a bill lias passed and become a
low, see to it that you have adequate
laws to enforce It. If you have not had
the forethought to provide for that
fl The General Federation Is fortunate
In having a president With a personali
ty like .Mrs. Decker. She has stood for
unity of action among the state fed
erations and the General Federallon,
She has tried to make each state feel
that It Is a vital pari of the great body
of the General Federation. She felt
that with concerted action everything
planned could be accomplished. Each
atute has a diversity of Interests; she
has tried to petwuado them to conform
to the outline planned by the executive
board for the General Federation so
far as possible and throw their weight
toward the carrying of any matter of
legislation. • * * With royipe ra
tion she says "We can do anything."
This message she has carried to every
pari of the country; to this she has
given time, means, enthusiasm and
tremendous energy for over two years.
Anil now she finds that she Is dissipat
ing her energy, for when a state In
vites her to attend its state meeting
she goes. If possible. If she Is attend
ing n meeting In Massachusetts she
bus to cross the continent to reach
Idaho ami Washington for Ihelr meet
ings. She thinks It will be a wise plun
members of that bourd, Mrs. Granger
Is now a member.
The next meeting of the General Fed
eration will be held In Boston In 1908.
Will you not take some Interest In that
meeting und read the Federation Bul
letin and keep In touch with the great
aims of tlijs great head of all our work ?
This Is Important for each club, and It
la Imiioriam for the General Federa
tion. Respectfully submitted.
