of the help and loyalty of the mem

To make provisions for the deficite |

expenses, it was found that through
the sale of the extracts now in
possession of the club, that the re
quired amount could be raised. All
members present bought liberally
and conndence is felt that the absent
members and othdrs interested in
Thomson’s reputation as a hostess

Besides giving value received, it is
the simplest and easiest way to leave

of the greater, bettor, simpler things
that they hope to do.
Forestry and Conservation De
partment, would try to protect wild
flowers and prevent woods fires.
Fine Arts Chairman would educate
women in art by putting on pro
grams until art has equal considera
tion with other work. Women should
assist in civic art, back city planning
and see that improvements have last
ing value, supply school rooms with
best pictures and encourage the
study of art.
Legislation Department would
work for larger appropriation for
libraries and for the needs of the
work embraced in the Shepherd-
Towner bill. Permanent peace, stop
war legislation and influence to be
encouraged at all times.
Public Welfare Chairman ask
ed that in working for a healthier
America the danger of habit forming
drugs be guarded against—an evil
that is at this time one of the na

stressed and a stronger support for

al club work.

Much enthusiasm was manifest
over the inspiration received from the
convention and the many beautiful
expressions of praise from the visi

An expression of hearty apprecia

Mrs. Mary Martin, Miss Emma
Stapler, Mrs. Hugh Gheesling, Mrs.
Gordon Usry, Mrs. Jim Adkins, Mrs.
Edgar Wilson.
LOVE AND FUN HER CUE.
The letter from Mrs. E. R. Hines
published on this page is another
evidence of her big heart of love
and appreciation. As president of
the Tenth District of Federated
Clubs she has literally loved women
into doing things. A nice part of
it is, they love her in return. The
state officers turn eagerly to her for
inspiration and good humor.
The very unique and humorous in
stallation of the new club officers,
s'aged during the social hour Fri
day, left no chance for a grouch to
live through the day. Everyone just
had to laugh and keep on laughing.
The ovation that was given her
following the installation was a
touching demonstration of the regard
in which she is held.

are drawn together in a social way.
But Thomson was entertaining guests
with whole-hearted hospitality and
getting pleasure out of it. The com
