Delegates to the convention began ar riving last evening and this morning every train which stopped In Fargo added. its quota to the number, eo that when the hour arrived for the opening of the session there were over 150 delegates and visitors in at tendance besides a (large number of women from the city. The entertainment committee real ly began its work last night when the visitors began to arrive and members of the committee put in a busy even ing securing quarters for the visitors as they came in on the late trains, but it was this morning when the real rush began and those on the committee, which included Mrs. G. G. Weiton, Mrs. George HoMister, Mrs. W. H. Stewart and Mrs. C. I. Cross, were kept busy meeting the various trains and receiving the delegates. Aside from the reception of dele gates the only event on the federa tion programme this morning was the meeting of the board of directors which occurred at the First Congre gational church at 11 o'clock. Mrs. H. S. Oliver of Lisbon presided at the meeting and the principal business was the admission to membership in the federation of several n«w clubs. These included the Round Table club day club of Jamestown, the Musical club of Minot, and the Woman's Study club of Kenmare. The board chose Mrs. Barber and Mrs. Casey of Graf ton to act as tellers and Mrs. Serum gaard of Devils Lake to act as judge at the election of officers, which will take place tomorrow afternoon*. The opening session of the federa tion began this afternoon shortly after 2 o'clock when the president of tho federation, Mrs. H. S. Oliver of Lis bon, called the meting to order. Rev. H. G.

R. S. Lewis si oke very briefly. He ur-.comed the delegates to the city In behalf of the commercial club and the business inten sis of the city and said many compliir.rjjtary things regarding '.he federation end its members. For Fargo Club,Women. Mrs. H. L. Bolley in behalf of the Fargo club women, iii welcoming the delegates, said: Women of the federation and friends: As president pf the oldest of the various women's clubs of Fargo, the honor falls to me of greeting you, and in behalf of the Fortnightly club, the Round Table, the Musical club, the Bay View club and the Woman's club, bid you welcome. The gentlemen preceding me have opened to you the city we women open to you our homes and our hearts and trust that for the time being we may be yours in every sense of the word. You come to us from every part of the state, bringing various aspirations, high ideals we expect much from you, may we give something to you. v' As the Federated Women's c!lubs of North Dakota, we welcome you. It means much to this state that there is such a federation, that the women of the state are awakening to a sense of their responsibilities, and mean to diseusts and investigate the best way of sharing these responsibilities. There are those who shake ther heads and say, "our grandmothers never did these things," or "give me the old-fashioned women," etc. But I claim it is a very different thing, this being a woman, from what it was in the days of our grandmothers. We may as well ad mit at the very start that, however much we may want to discuss it, wo man's sphere was settled long ago without consulting us a bit about it. We are and have always got to be the homemakers of the world. But this homemaking is a very different thing from what it was in our grandmoth er's day, and it is growing every year more complicated. To be sure there are those who insist that this is a r*rr -. THE RntflO FORUM "AND DX1LT MGCTJBUCAtf, •ffEBNESBSY EVENING, OCTOBER}% 1908, Clubs Arc in Session in Fargo divine gift bestowed upon women, this gift of homemaking, which comes to us without our giving it any particulai thought or intelligence. All of us agree that It requires a divine glfe, this task we have to accomplish this tak ing of all sorts of foods adulterated with every known poison, to feed out families, drugs concocted impurely to pive our sick ones, clothing to-dress them in made in sweat shops at a price every woman should blush at, often water for our daily use which is a dis grace to a free city, gas and electricity vhich we pay for and do not get, san itation which unsanitary, schools for our children in the control of which we .have little to say, and behind and above all the great shadow of the ser vant question—taking all these, I say just as they are thrown at us, we are to weld them into the ideal home, an example of purity and honesty for our children. Is it any wonder that some women fail? We welcome then all your earnest thought, all your best intelligence to this great responsibility which rests upon us all, not only the making of our i wji homes, but the bettering of home conditions for the whole world. We welcome you not as from the north, south, west or central part of the state, but as one body representa tive of the women of North Dakota, to work together for her weal, forgetting individuality to merge all into a co operation complete. If this federation brings us nothing else than a better knowledge of the state we represent, a closer bond with this state, whose fu ture is dependent upon us, I believe, in an equal degree with the men of the state—if we accomplish this, it is not in vain that we have met. We of Fargo, as hostesses, have a social side to give you in turn. As our duty to Fargo, we want you to see and know something of this city. We want you to know our educational en vironments, .which belong to you, and are your heritage to the next genera tion. Are you content with them? If not, why not? We want you to share in the artistic side of Fargo and en joy the musical treat which is ours to give. Most of all let us make an effort to know each other for the greater Catholicity of interests which comes from such an acquaintance. The time is all too short, only two days and a half, to accomplish all we wish. May every moment be golden, and thg'&fir* it,, of co-operation-federation hover over us all. The response to these words of wel come given by Mrs. A. M. Burt of Jttmestown, was very appropriate and wfts delivered in a m'ost pleasing man- ner. Fallowing the address of Mrs. Bur#, Mrs. J. F. Cook of Litchvllle rendered a vocal solo, which was much appre ciated. The officers of the federation then made their annual reports and following these came another bit of music in the form of a piano solo which was beautifully rendered by Miss Gans of Fargo College conserva tory, who took the place of Mrs. An heier on the programme.
