DEPARTMENT JOURNALS.
The Journal of 18th Annual Convention, De-
partment OF Ohio, is out in a handsome and
condensed form. 1t is carefully edited by Past
Department President Sarah ID. Wiuans, an
excellent portrait of whom adorns the frontis-
piece.
Mrs. Winans Is to be congratulated upon her
prompt and successful closing of singulary
able and energetic administration. It is a
journal in which the chaf has been sifted
from the golden grain, and is a most valuable
addition to the literature Of the Order.
The Journal OF 18th Annual Convention, De-
partment Of Illinois, introduced by fine por-
trait of Department. President Flora JamiSon
Miller is at hand.
In looking over the pages, an "In Memo
riam" column, headed mot lost, but gone
BEFORE" shows how AZ legal women died in
the harness, whose lives had been consecrated
to their corntry's defenders and the flag. The
journal appears in handsome form and dis
plays n record of variety OF work which Is
highly creditable to the Department and Its
officers.
Past National President Sarah G. Mink Is in
receipt of letter from the War Department
Library at Washington, thanking her for a
bound copy of the Journal of the 18th Ma
tioual Convention, W.R.C. Capt. Robert Craig
| in expressing thanks, says: 1T Is valuable
addition to our collection, and worthy OF per
| manent preservation in this library; and
adds: "Of the journals of National COnven-
| tions, W-R-C., need to complete our files
the following: First, sixth, eighth, and 1ith
/ Any aid you can render in this direction will
be greatly appreciated"
By the way, Princeton College has a complete
| file of National journals. and there IS not :
leading library in the land but would welcome
| such an educational and philanthTopic work
We would suggest that the National Council
| W.R.C., take steps to have bound copies of the
| National Journal OF each year placed in the
! War Department Library, Congressional Lii
brary, and such large educational institutions
/ as may be collecting volumes of that character
| Past National President Mink. who has
| placed the 18Th National Journal in the Wal
| Library, says: II think it is a proud RECORD
| for the Woman's Relief Corps to have our his
tory sought for. Ii it were merely for notoriety
| of our members that we ambitious, tbsr
might it perish, but for work accomplished
the principles we ad yocate, the education in
| patriotism, fidelity to our country's defeuderI
| it is without parallel"
| ALL ALONG THE LINE.
From every direction come messages OF good
cheer, and now that another great National
Convention is successfully over, let there be a
| long pull and a strong pull and a pull alto
! gether" to make comfortable Winter for the
aged veterans and their dependents.
! There is one woman in the ranks of the
W.R.C. who has made no mistake in the great
| questions of law which have confronted the
| National Order the past three or four years, and
that woman is Emma Stark Hampton, Past Ma.
tional President Had her advice been followed
| at Washington there would have been in
! junction case at Louisville.
| May Past Department President Anna 3.
| Carroll of Ohio, always carry a face as young
and fair as now; buc sill the same little Buck
eye baby, Miriam Wolcott Carroll, daughter OF
| Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w. Carroll, of Defiance,
born Aug. g. 1895, will soon begin to call her
grandma.
Past Department Junior e-President Lucy
| w. Hamilton, at Orville, o.. again filed the
editorial chair to the satisfaction of all duri Dg
the absence of her husband, Comrade j. A.
Hamilton, at Chickamauga. The Hamitons
| have one of the handsomest and most hOspit-
able homes at Orville, which the editor learned
en- route from Louisville, and the energetic
| little woman of the firm has demonstrated that
a woman who can be success outside the
| home can be success in it, and vice versa.
Sara Z. Holmes. Department Correspondent
OF South Dakota, says Headquarters train was
| appropriately decorated as it sped away to Ma
tional Convention with Department Presiden,
