The Arkansas city clubs, excellent
as they are,-are not federated. We
are all very sorry ef this, because the
state and the Third district both need
just such q bodyguard as this on our
southern border,-not to repel the ad-
vance Of an invader, but to help US by
their strength, that the work may be
carried toaits faFthsst- boundaries. The
intellectual work does not mark the
edge OF territory occupied by those
clubs. Among other good things, a
successful manual training depaFtm ent
stands to the credit Of the club women
in Arkansas City.
Many club women are reading the
Delineator these days for the club
serial being printed in its pages, 1.-THE
President of Quex." It is worth read
ing-Helen NJ. WinsIow is certainly
qualified for the last word on the club
question, but there IS something else
of interest there, too, IN Mary Hin
man AbePs articles on the pure food
question and its relation to domestic
economy. These articles have been
published for the past six months, and
contain much Of interest to those who
are thinking of this most important
subject from either a public or a pri-
vate standpoint.
