was of general Interest:
The executive board of tho Iowa Federa
tion of Women's clubs, having under con
sideration the resolutions on reorganization,
presented by Mrs. flrock of Pennsylvania
and adopted by tho General Federation
council at Philadelphia last June, and hav
ing carefully read the reports of the state
federation committee to the federated clubs
of Massachusetts, hereby reports to tho
chairman of the General Federation com
mittee on reorganization, as follows:
Whereas, The recommendation of the
statti federation committee to the federated
clubs of MuKsachtiHcttH seems to be well
and practically thought of, and
herea.s, It Is very important that tho
most satisfactory ami feasible plan for
selecting delegates from all the state fed
erations to the General Federation's bien
nial shall be adopted; and
Whereas, We believe It might be dim
cult and cause contention or Ill-feeling to
select tho delegates to the general biennial
its proposed in division (b) of article lv.
under heading "Representation." by the
Htnto federation committee of tho federated
clubs of Massachusetts: and
Whereas, It is desirable that n satisfac
tory nmtkint be rnlsed out of tho dues for
tho General l ederatlon of Women's clubs'
expenses, and t Is believed that the annual
le proponed by the Massachusetts plan in
paragraph b of article III would be Imtde

The afternoon session opened at 2 o'clock
with a song by Mrs, W. W, Sherman, fol
lowed by a vocal duet by Mrs, Sherman and
Mrs. Mullls.
As the icports from the members of the
extension committee were not all heard In

first business of tho afternoon, reports be
ing given front tho Seventh district by
Mrs. Henry Wallaco of Dcs Moines, and
the Ninth district by Mrs. Decmer of Red
Oak, library work being one of the chief
efforts of that district, nnd five new clubs
having been brought Into the federation.
Mrs. Culbcrtson of Carroll reported library
work of great Interest to tho clubs of tho
Tenth district also. Two hundred and
twenty-four Is the actual number of clubs
now In tho federation, Just two more than
uro federated In Illinois.
Tho reports of the clubs were taken up,
each being limited to fifteen minutes. The
nlms and results accomplished by tho
various clubs were presented.
The committee on rules nnd regulations

3. Tho doors shall bo closed during ud
tlri'srcH and discussions.
4. No one shall !c allowed to speak twice
In a discussion on one subject.
5. Threo minute shnll be allowed each

Tho reports of the committee on badges,

tho exhibit committee, nil showed the work
belug energetically carried on.
Mrs. Nolllo F. Cooke of Algona, chairman
of tho reciprocity bureau, reported sorao
difficulty in securing general appreciation
of and Interest In the manuscripts and
work of tho bureau. Other members of tho
bureuu reported much tho same results of
their work, nlso an Indlfferenco on the
part of tho women In contributing to tho
bureau. In the discussion which followed
tho work of other stntes was mcntloued
nnd suggestions were made for stimulating
tho Interest in tho future.
Owing to tho general popularity of the
library movement, tho reports of tho li
brary work was heard with general Inter
est. They consisted of a report of tho
special library committee by Mrs. Harriet
C. Towner, general library work by Mrs.
Florn K. Ilakcr and n paper on "Library
Extension," oy Miss Alice Tyler of tho
Stutc Library commission,
LlhrnrlcN In Kvery County Sent.
Theso reports included n general history
of tho library movement and Miss Tyler
said In conclusion that It was the hopo
of tho women to establish a library lu
every county seat of tho state that had
not one already, and thnt they would en
deavor to mako tho reading room tho most
attractive resting place In town for the
farmer's wlfo and daughter.

While the color question promised to be
tho interesting feature Tuesday, nothing
new developed. In fact, the women ap
peared to have entirely forgotten that they
do not all agree upon that subject, so ab
sorbed have they become In the election.
Tho women of the western part of the state
seem more than ever to feel that the presi
dency belongs to them this time, whl lo the
eastern and many of tho northern clubs are
equally determined that that office shall go
,? ? Dc8,MolDe? candidate. While the Des
Moines delegation Is the strongest In the
state and as its choice. Mrs. Bally, hat, been
generally considered tho most likely cnndl
date, this combination of circumstances mas
result to the Interest of the west after alt
for It has leaked out thnt all is not har!
montous In the De Moines delegation and
Mrs. Walker Ie receiving strong support
from some of the number.
This lack of unity Is not due to nny tin
popularity on the part of Mrs, Rally how
ever, but rather to her popularity In the
Des Motnes Woman's club, of which she Is
president, and her delegates thinks that In
electing her to the office of state president
they would loie her in their homo club
work, where they feet she cannot welt be
spared. In Justice to tho work mapped out
for that club this year, they argue, It would
be Impoislble for her to hold both offices.

Des Moines delegation met antl talked the
