The following opinion on reorgIniza :
lion sent to the meeting Of the Illinois
federation of clubs by Mrs. Ellen NJ
Uonrotin will be of interest To- the Maine
clubs who are discussing that important
subject Just now.
II think the general federation should
be organized. ! WIS always Workins
toward that end. The state federation
should have charge Of the state work
ana the general should be constitutes of
state declarations and Of clubs from I hose
states where no state federation mas been
organized The general should, in my
mind. be clearing house for the State
and arrange the biennial program the
general should have no correspondence
with the individual clubs. That should
he the duty Of the State. The State
shoIild collect the dues Of the club for
the general. which should be smaller than
they are now and remit to the treasurer.
and the State chairman should do he
same in those states whore No federation
exists. Thus the work Of the general
would be simplitied. More could be ac-
romnlished if the federation were thus
brought more in line with modern meth

disappearing. He caught the animal by
the tail and dragged it out Then began
struggle which would have ended seri-
ously for Nassar had he not accidentally
whirled on his heel and swung the wolf
around him. This gave him the idea OF
making the wolf drunk" lie continued
his whirling motion. keeping hold of the
VOLTS tail. After few minutes of this
motion the wolf began to he less aggres.
