The ninth annual session of the sev
enth district federation of clubs met at
Great Bend Wednesday and Thursday
of the week just past. A large delega
tion was in attendance and a very
profitable time was spent both intellect
ually and socially.
The session opened Wednesday morn
ing with the district president, Mrs.
Jingberg in the chair. With few excep
tions the program was carried out as
printed. The federation received a most
hearty welcome from Mr. Charles Brink
man who represented the Commercial
club of Great Bend. Addresses of wel
come were also given by Mrs. Souther
land and Mrs. Ola Chapman, presidents
of the Progress and Atheneum clubs.
Faeh and every delegate was made to
feel perfectly at home by these repre
sentatives who so charmingly express
ed their happiness in extending every
hospitality to their guests. Mrs. W. J.
Fitzgerald responded in a very pleasing
manner, expressing the appreciation of
the visiting ladies.
The morning session was alPgiven to
preliminaries, appointing committees
arid two minute club reports from the
various clubs represented. This proved
one of the most interesting parts of
the program, as it creates new zeal and
enthusiasm to learn what our sisters
all about us are doing in club lines.
Mrs. E. W. Hulse of McPherson was
chairman of the educational department.
Many practical discussions along var
ious educational lines were enjoyed and
new determination on the part of club
women was expressed to help see to it
we have better educated school boards
and higher salaries for our teachers.
The election of officers took place
Thursday and resulted as follows:
President, Mrs. Pettijohn of Dodge
City: first vice president, Mrs. Hale of
La Crosse; second vice president, Miss
Maggie Neff, Harper; recording secre
tary, Mrs. Hopkins, Lyons; treasurer,
Mrs. Shay, Sterling.
Among the many strong papers
which deserves special mention was the
one given by Miss Ellen Squires on
Philanthropic work.
The entire program of Wednesday af
ternoon was a treat. The first number
was a very interesting address given
by our state president. Mrs. May Belle
ville Brown. Mrs. J. M. Lewis followed
with a very able and instructive talk
on art. Mrs. Lewis has charge of that
department and had many beautiful
pictures on display. Artistic Home
Making by Mrs. R. P. Murdock of
Wichita was one of the numbers that
touched the heart of every woman pres
et. Mrs. Murdock gave many helpful
suggestions which showed much thought
and study. Among other things Mrs.
Murdock made it very plain that wo
men should be the house builders, not
men. She said by all means do not let
your husbands plan the house for it is
the women who know best what will
be most convenient. The entire pro
gram showed very careful preparation
being benefited thereby,
being benefitted thereby.
The ladies of Great Bend deserve
much credit and praise for the elegant
way in which they entertained their
iruests. Wednesday evening the Great
Bend club ladies, their husbands and
their guests met for a social hour in
the Masonic temple where acquaint
ances were formed and old friendships
renewed. Music was furnished by the
orchestra At 7:30 the entire party,
two hundred and fifty in number, were

ushered into the banquet hall where a
most elegant banquet was served in
eight courses. As the reception room
was entered a most pleasing sight met
the gaze. The entire walls were cov
ered with our Kansas golden rod whieh
nodded in all directions and green and
yellow streamers were draped over
head and lights everywhere until one
felt transferred into fairy land. The
banquet room was a most charming
sight, as rare taste was displayed in
the decorations which were the com
bined colors of the clubs pink, green
and white. -Fern leaves, carnations,
candles, cut glass and shining silver
made tables fit for kings and queens.
Great Bend's most charming young
ladies, all dressed in dainty white
gowns, served the eight course dinner.
Mrs. Southerland acted as toastmis
tress and very enjoyable toasts were
given by several citizens, a number of
whom were the gentlemen, who seem
ed to most heartily share in extending
hospitalities to the visitors in their
midst. The first gentleman speaker
remarked something like this: "This
morning I wakened before break of I
day and as I lay in the hay loft of my
barn on the new mown hay and gazed
upward at the stars and said to my
neighbor who was sleeping with me
(the beds were all occupied by visit
ors). I've no idea what I shall say to
night." But by the time he had finish
ed it was evident he had done much
thinking during the day for he very
graciously toasted "Our Visitors." The
visiting ladies who gave very bright,
witty toasts were Mrs. May Belleville
Brown. Mrs. Peters. Mrs. Prentis,
Mrs. Murdock and Mrs. J. M. Lewis.
On Thursday evening a most de
lightful musical was given in the'
Methodist church, which had been
most beautifully and artistically decor
ated in pink, white and green. At the
close of the musical programme a mu
sical Pleasantry was given by eight
voung ladies representing a house
party of the various types of old maids.
It was evident the attics had been
searched for the costumes, as they
dated many years back and answered
the purpose to perfection. After much
chatting, visiting, mending and decid
ing that men were altogether in the
way. the house party was uncere
moniously broken up by the appear
ance of a harmless little mouse and
after mounting the chairs and the
table the brave ones carried the faint
ing ones behind the scenes.
One of the most useful features of
the district federation meeting is in
the reports from the individual clubs.
The ideas put into force by one com
munity are taken up and carried homo
by other delegates, and through this
system of reciprocity the best thought
is carried from place to place adapt
ed to suit individual demands.
The Fortnightly club of Kinsley has
taken up the work of furnishing and
equipping, the Carnegie library which
is to be aliened in that town. .
The Review club of La Crosse has
developed a most practical system '"if
cemetery improvement work. The city
gives the club the contract for caring
for the cemetery, with the finest re
sult. The Coterie club of Pratt celebrates
its tenth birthday next week, and In
that time has become the owner of
building in which its meetings are
held, and where it also conducts a
library.
The Wednesday club of McPherson
has done notable work in the study of
Swedish history and literature, both
ancient and modern, and has acquired
quite a valuable collecting of books on
these subjects. Membership in this
club is under the condition that every
member must be of Swedish parent
age or allied to that nationality by
marriage.
The Women's club of Lyons has
done a very beautiful work in sending
little Christmas offerings to poor wo
men and children who would not
otherwise be remembered. Last year
the city gave this club $50 to add to
their fund for this purpose.

Mrs. Clement Smith, president of
the city federation of clubs, will call a
meeting of the board of directors,
composed of all the delegates to the
leaeration Irom the individual clubs,
to make plans for the establishment
of the east side kindergarten which
the federation voted to support at its
October meeting, at Unity church
Thursday. The kindergarten will be
held In the Parkdale school house
where the civics committee of the fed
eration started a public reading room
and play ground this summer. The
board of education gave the . ommit
tee the use of the building which is
not used since the new Brainier school
was built. The reading room and
play ground proved a remarkable suc
cess and the free kindergarten is an
outgrowth of this commendable work
of the civics committee. Mrs. J. P.
Carnahan, chairman of the committee,
gave an interesting report of the work
at the meeting Thursday. It has

yond the original hopes of the com
mittee. The reading room has been
well supported and well patronized
and boys' and girls' clubs as well as
the kindergarten have been asked for
by the people of the neighborhood.
Some of the mothers who are espe
cially anxious to have the kindergar
ten started have pledged themselves
to raise half the money necessary,
estimated at about sixty dollars a
month, and the federation voted the
rest Thursday for a three months'
trial of the experiment.
The proposed changes in the con
stitution of the federation submitted
by the committee appointed for that
purpose at the meeting Thursday fol
low: Article III, section I. The officers of
this federation shall be elected an
nually on the first Thursday in Decem
ber by ballot.
Article IV, section I. The president
shall appoint promptly after entering
upon her office a corresponding secre
tary and a nominating committee to
be a standing committee. (No change
in remainder of section.)
Article VII, section 1. Each club
shall pay in advance annual dues to
the federation to the amount of one
dollar per capita of Its membership
and no delegate shall be entitled to
vote until the annual dues of the club
represented are paid.
BY-LAWS.
1 The annual meeting shall occur on
the first Thursday in December. The
other meetings shall occur in their or
der on the first Thursday in February,
the first Thursday in April, the first
Thursday in June and the first Thurs
day in October, respectively.
No change In by-law number 2.
3. It shall be the duty of the nomi
nating committee to present to a meet
ing of the board of directors held in
November a list of officers for the en
suing year three names to be presented
for each office. The nominating com
mittee shall notify their nominees and
in case of refusal supply their places.
They shall then present the perfected
list to the annual meeting when the
election shall take place.
4. Each club shall elect Its dele
gates at least ten days before and re
port the same with dues and a correct
list of its membership at least five days
before the annual meeting.
The other by-laws are unchanged in
the revision committee's report except
in the one pertaining to the order of
business at the annual meeting which
provides for the report of the nomi
nating committee.
The most important change in the
revised constitution, aside from the in
crease in the per capita tax from
twenty-five cents to one dollar an
nually is in the matter of the nomi
nating committee. Under the present
constitution the nominating commit
tee appointed by the president serves
only until the chairmen of the stand
ing committees have been appointed.
The revision makes the nominating
committee a standing committee and
its most important function is the fur
nishing of the nominees for the of
fices of the federation at the annual
meeting in December. Three names
are to be furnished for each office and
these are first to be submitted to the
board of directors, composed of the
delegates from all the clubs. The
plan promises to give every woman
and every club in the federation an
opportunity to express her personal
choice for the officers at the annual
elections.
The First District Federation will
meet in Seneca October 26 and 27. Miss
Martha Beck, of Holton, the president.,

The West Side Forestry club has of
fered to provide the necessary money
to secure two of the state traveling li
braries for the use of the Parkdale
reading room. Mrs. W. A. Johnston
made the offer at the meeting of the
federation Thursday. The West Side
Forestry club is one of the youngest
cmos in the federation but it is also
one of the strongest, most practical and
helpful. Mrs. Chris Hoffman of En
terprise said at the club conference in
Topeka during fair week that the West
Side Forestry club had done more good
during its short existence than ten
Shakespere clubs a fine tribute fully
deserved.
Speaking of the West Side Forestry
club, their first annual chrysanthemum
show will be held between the 6th and
the 11th of November, the place to be

A Straight Story.
Fiank B. Coombs was listening to
the words which were falling in rapid
succession from the mouth of William
B. Wackerhagen. An Incredulous look
oversaread Mr. Coombs' face and then
it gave' way to a smile. An acquaint
ance watched the expression on Mr.
Coombs' face, and when he moved to
within hearing distance heard Mr.
Wackerhagen say:
"X had a man with me, who saw
it."
"Is he like Bill Jones, dead?"
"No, he is Jimmie Huested, and he
sat in the boat with me."
Mr. Coombs smiled and nodded to the
bystander to gather closer. Then he
had Mr. Wackerhagen repeat the story.
"We went out on Lake Champlain
looking for bass. A school of perch
came up. I dropped my line overboard
with a bare hook, and, do you believe
it, caught a perch as quick as it struck
the water. I repeated the operation
several times and caught a fish each
time -
"Without bait?"
"Yes, without bait, nothing but the
bare steel hook, and the fish came to
the surface, each seemine anxious to
be the first one to be caugnt. we uieu
to ' drive the perch away, for we want
out for bass, but we could not frighten
them. They hung around our boat, and
we had to give up trying to catch bass.
Yes. Jimmie ' Huested will tell you the
same story."

latest quotations for rye. Albany
