The fourth annual convention of the Eighth District Federation of Women’s Clubs, which came to an en- joyable close with a delightful ban- quet at the McKenzie last evening was declared by those in attendance the most uniquely successful district meeting of club women that has been held in North Dakota. The enthusi- am. and patriotic spirit shown by everyone who took part in, the inter- esting sessions is without parallel in the history of women’s clubs in this state, and no one who attended the meetings and heard the splendid ad- dreases failed to carry away new in- splration and higher courage for the struggles that are yet before us, The committees in. charge of the district meeting were Mrs. Andrew A. Bruce, dinner chairman; Mrs. J. W. Bliss, chairman of entertainment, Mrs. N._B. Fitch, chairman. of ar- rangemenits; “Mrs. Philip Meyer, chair- man of publicity; Mrs. Robert Orr, chairman for Red Cross exhibits, and Mrs. G. A. Rawlings, chairman for arts and_ crafts exhibits.

She spoke of woman’s duty to the oncom- ing generation, and urged that we'see to it that the children of today be found tit when. they reach maturity to assume the burdens that maturity wil.bring. That one-third of the men who are drafted today are found vn- fit. for military service on account of] an ailment which might have been remedied during infancy is a tact which she urged be kept in mind that this mistake may not. be ‘repeate with the generations to come. Miss: Barker's Talk. To do justice in limited space to Miss Eleanor Barker's really won- derful address is out of the question. Bismarck’ has never heard her super- ior. Her full, round, resonant speak- ing voice; her complete grasp of her, subject, her personal magnetism, and the fire and spirit which emanates, from her to het hearers; her sincer- ity and her earnestness made her message: one which ‘the women. ‘who, heard her never can’ forget. : She told why we. must © consérvé white flour that our allies, ‘and our soldiers may have.this staff of. life. She told of the 400,000 children: fu France who have neither ‘pareftt liv- ing and who are being cared for dy; the Red Cross; she told of the flour} that we must supply these children, not enough for those who are able- bodied and sound, but enough to save ihese poor little waffs who are near and entertainment committees, and to work,’and at the same time keep our all those who have given their time! and talent to. make the program a! success: 4 i fommunity Sings which so many Eis- Resolved: | That we do all in our! marck people have enjoyed during the power to aid in the conservation ot/ {ist few months under the auspices food, and to hely in all war relief) 'p the Thursday Musical club and oth- ev musical: organizations of the Cap- igal City, announced for the Auditor- ium at 4 o’clgck Sunday afternoon, will be featured by an address by Miss saute ' Pleanor Bar ker of Juliana polls enett dees e six.best woman speakers on the Resolved: That the recommenda-| state of Food ‘Administrator Herbert tions of the vice president, in regard!

It was then suggested that an effort be made to have her speak at the Community Sing tomorrow afternoon. Dr. E. Ladd, federal food administrator for North Dakota, was communicated with; the wires to Washington were set jingling, and finally, early this morning, came advices from ‘the Unit- ed States food administration that en’s clubs Friday evening universally’ o ftheir duties to their country and her allies in this great crisis.

She spoke of: the ;government’s recognition of the powerful factor organized club women form! at this time, and she ex- plained how Mrs. Cowles, national president and a member of the na- tional council of defense can at any time’ through her state organizations transmit the word of the administra- tion to every club woman in ‘the United States. “As this includes more than 2,000,000 women, it means, said Mrs, Vick, that a very large propc;- tion. of the influential women of the country are directly and promply reached.
