NE Of the district presidents
q writes to know IL there is
any way to make the clubs
realize that when they be-
- long to the district the en-
tire dues-26 cents per cap
ita-should be sent to the district
treasurer. Some seem to nave me loea
that the district and state dues must
be sent to the district and state mea-
sures respectively. The club belonging
to the district has nothing to do with
the state treasurer that club
also holds separate and Individual
mem bership with the state aside from
its membership in the district. This
mas been explained many times, but the
lesson seems to need repeating. Please
send your dues, soon, to your district
treasurer.
But few announcements for the St
Paul program have been made as YET
SO far we have been made acquainted
with the plans for our comfort and
pleasure. Among other IoreshadoWlngs
however, we find some of the work OF
the committee on household econom-
les. Mrs. Virginia G. Meredith Of In
diana, is to be the PRINCIPAL speaker,
with the very broad topic 'sIhe Cos
pei Of HOmemakfng. The Pure FOOD
committee will present its subject from
both the scientific and legislative
standpoints. A practical home is to be
fitted and completely furnished, In
which there will be an exhibition Of
work from the Arts and Crafts School,
and there viii also be demonstrations
OF hyEienic foods. Kansans will be in
terested in the announcement that Mrs.
Nellie Kedzie Jones of Michigan is to
be one of the speakers at the House
hold Economics conference.
The coming biennial will differ from
all former gatherings in that there Will
be no general sessions in the afternoon
The conferences Of the standing COM
mittees viii take place in the after
Moons, 50 that each delegate may attend
all conferences Aside from the ex-
committee-just mentioned-there win
be exhibits arranged by the commit
tees on art, pure food, forestry and IL
brary extension.
In addition to the regular committee
work, the following organizations and
objects VIII be represented on the pro-
gram: American Civic association,
Consumers league, National Child La
Dor committee, National Municipal
league, Juvenile Courts and Settlement
Work A number of receptions and ex-
cursions have been planned, and the
program promises to be balanced.
A bunch of year books. which I am
very sorry to say, are too late to be
printed in the Club Directory, came to
me from Mrs. Mae Winnie Hodge, the
chairman of our educational commit
tee. There are four OF them. and each
one deserves chapter OF its oWn-so
excellent is 1t In one direction or an
other.
The Fortnightly club calendar re-
Ceives the first mention, as a reward of
merit Tor having Arkansas City, kan
sas.' printed on the outside cover. I
wish that every year book might bear
the tOvn-narne in this way This book
might be called a symphony in blue"
as it is printed in blue ink, on blue
paper. with cover OF darker blue, and
Led with 6llken cord or the same hue.
There are thlrty-eight members, with
Mrs. Georgia Andrews and Mrs. Ida
Dorsey Hume as president and secre-
tary. Two other commendable features
Of this program are the club collect,
which serves as a beginning and the
ample room that is allowed on each
page for notes. A study Of Honolulu
IS remarked for the first of the year.
Art and music are also pleasingly wor-
clipped An Alaskan day promises
well. and also note q Forestry Day.

man. our state chairman Of forestry:
