TO THE WoMEN's CLUB OF
IOWA.


y : =
Vaction days are almost ended
The women of the nation as we'll a.
the women of the states are desirou!
of making our club work speak fol
its worth, we can only do this b;
assistance Of each aud every mem.
Der. The committee work which
will be explained by the differet
chairmens is of all importance. We
have many women in this state thai
are too busy to join with us in our
many efforts. We have some uu-
interested, some unwilling, but we
hope to have all sympathetic That
which is for the good Of all con-
cerned ought at least receive words
of praise. We are not all gradu-
ates, yet this does not prevent our
thirsting and seeking knowledge.
There are no books locked in iron
chests except they belong to some
secret society; therefore the knowl-
edge gained by one can be obtained
by many. We have not all execu-
tive ability to govern with simplicity
and gen:leness Of character. We
We have not all money and bank
notes and homes to constantly boast
of, but as we have been wont to say
we can have blending of purpose
which will result for good for all
concerned.
We made the call last year for
500 women; we were rewarded by
345. We still continue to cry for
FIVE hundred women. Better homes,
no more renting, more business en-
terprise, more graduates, whether
reward is in sight or not. We must
prepare for war in time of peace.
where are our normal graduates to
fill the vacances on the school
board this year? We would say to
church club you are cordially in
vited to join. Your finance is not
touched by the state. All the state
asks is 10 cents per member year.
This 10 cents is used to defray the
expenses of the convention.
Nothing is more inspiring than
rep IT Of 5000 or $500 raised by a
club and given to assist the church.
Think of one club last year raised
500 in three days for dead man;
how much more would they raise
for live man?
Now to know club work is to
study it. We should not only work
a; president but as member also.
Just as good teachers make good
scholars, good mothers good sons,
presidents should make good mem
bers.
Mrs. Helen Downey is an exam
pie. AS State Organizer she worked
as hard as when state president.

workers this year: Mrs. Belle Ban

Boy trampdom S1ost two members of
the guild today thru advice offered by
the Associated Charities. The bows are
both young and have both been living
by their wits in the great world OF
graft, but the history Of their cases is
different. Country Charlie, as his name
implies, came from the country, and
days, a member of Harrison street
gang in Chicago until he broke into d
paint shop and fell into can Of REQ
paint and was given twenty-four hours
to leave the city.
Manager E. b. solenberger of the
Associated Charities explained that the
boys will be saved from the "road
and sent back to their homes, where the
local institutions will see that they are
started on the right path and taught g
trade. IT,
The two feeders of the great body OF
DO tramps come from the isolated coun
try districts and the crowded districts
Of the great cities. The country boy
runs away from his home because there
is too much work to do. The big cities
attract him, and he runs away from
home. While many country boys dc
make a success in the city, many dc
not, and they are added to the number
of wandering hoboes. 81, ID
Inc city boy usually runs away OF
simply joins the ranks Of the tramps
because he has been idle all his life
and has become shiftless. If such boy
does get job he. is apt to stick to it
but many of them belong to gangs whicl
do not know what work means. The
great preventative of such life is ;
system Of city Fairgrounds, free bath
and gymnasiums, and other advanced
municipal improvements for children:
"You see," said Country Charlie, g.
