meetings of the federation, and the work
is carried en by this executive. Its
members are assisted by local branches,
whose scope is to interest the farming
districts. It was decided, too, to raise a
fund, and to enlist the state in the cause.
During the session the federation was
addi eased by Prof. Picard of the State
University at Columbia, Mo., whose sub
ject was suggestive of the means by
which the work of both the clubs and
universities might be advanced through
co-opera'ioo. Following him, State-Superiuteudtnt-of
Public-Instruction, J.
R. Kirk, delivered an address on the "Co
operation of Club Work with School
Education." Missouii clubwomen have
interested the other Bex evidently, and
are taking a sure means to develop
strong a!lirs in their wo.k. It was
noticeable during the 6es3ion at Sedalia
that the men of the place were as in
terested as their wives in the meetings.

Sedalia. It is bel eved that this is the
tint occurrence of the kind in the his
tory of the club movement. Prof. Picard
gave an urgent invitation to the federa
tion to meet next year at Columbia,
which is significant, as this practically
means the co operation of tbe faculty of
the university in the federation conven
tion. The invitation, however, was de
clined for the present, and Springfield
selected for the next meeting. The
election cf 0 fibers resulted in the fol-

The picture of Mrs. Sarah S. Piatt,

taken from a photograph of the presi

will be especially interesting to club wo

candidate fur president of the national
federation.

of tbe prj ctors of the enterprise has
made it a foregone conclusion that suc
cess will finally croxn their efforts. The
Woman's club house corpora'ion, wbich
is really not a club, but a business or
ganization, p!an3 the re.tion of a Iar.e,
commodious and haLds me building, in
which may be accommodated, per
ch inge a clause in the Missouri statutes
which excluded women from serving on
school bond-; the other, a bill for a
state bjard of c harities and corrections.
The first bill passed the House, but was
lost in the Senate, and is to be taken up
again; the second passed both Houses,
and secured an appropriation of three
thousand dollars, Mies Perry, the peti
tioner, being made first vice president of
tin Slat e Board of Charities and Cor
rection?. The work which now interests
the federation chiefly is that of travel-
Hag libraries, and at the recent three ed by spaces devoted to light and com
days' session in Sedalia plans were for- modious store?. Taere will be spacious
emulated and a bureau established to elevators for passengers and freight, and

pany, wh'cb was duly incorporated
February 1, 1S9G, is Mrs. Julia Ware
Howe, and tbe list of directors includes
well known women of tbe city and state.
Already 812,000 has been subscribed.
The important point is made that under
the statute stockholders will not I e sub

fully expected that the enterprise will
be a paying investment to its stock

Soros's met with Mrs. C. L. Hall on
Tuesday afternoon. After roll call and
current events, a motion was made and
carried that Soros's join the general

discussed, with the benefits to be derived

has seven sta.es of existence, which Mrs.
Wheeler said she supposed were dis

Mis. Wheeler presented the subject

advocating or attacking its beliefs, and
all founJ it most enjoyable.
Animited discussion concladed the

The New Book Review club met with
Mr?. R. Reblaender Wednesday after
noon, Mis3 Erb gave a pleasant little
sketch of Henry Drummond, the great
Scotch device. All the reading world
is r.cher and nobler today because that
man thought truly and walked humbly
in the paths of Jesus' teachings. How
he chose his books which helped him
mo ;t and how he read them was a most
helpful lesson to us all. The world lost
a most earnest Christian when he passed
into the silent beyond. In his books

entrance on the ground floor, to be flank-
delegates. Tbe fact that any member
of a club in the federation has a right to
participate in discussions, though not to
vote, was also considered an advantage,

future meeting. Th club will meet
next with Mid Han is on March 1.
