OMAHA WOMARs CLUB HAS ANNIVERSARY
Address by EnOs Mills Followed by
Reception-First and Third Dis
tFict FederatiOns Hold
Conventions.


The Omaha Woman's club will celebrate
the fourteenth anniversary of its organ
ization, Wednesday, April 20, b. present
ing to the Omaha public Enos Miller of
Estes Park, Colo, the well known guide
and naturalist.
April "a is the clubs real anniversary,
but its celebration will be held one day
earlier that Mr.. Mills may be present
His address will be followed by an in
formal reception. The lecture will be
given at the First Congregational church,
beginning at 8 o'clock, and the public is
invited, no admission to be charged
Mr.. Mills is one OF the most unique as
we'll as one of the most popular speakers
on the platform now and is making tour
through the middle west at this time
under the auspices of the Bureau of For
estry. Schooling he has had, but IL has
been chiefly from nature. Ill health for
many years necessitated his living out of
doors, He went to Alaska when young
boy, but for many years has lived in a
cabin on the slope of Longs peak, Colo
RADIO. For three years he held the unique
and dangerous position of state snow OBJ
server of Colorado. He pays little heed
10 conventionalities and the story he tells
from the platform Of the trees and the
birds is refreshing and fascinating for its
very naturalness.
1t is fitting that the Omaha womans
club should celebrate its anniversary by
bringing such an educational treat to the
city. Touching Life With Upward I'M
pulse" is it's motto and since it's organi-
cation 1t has been a factor for good and
for the moral and educational uplift of
Omaha. During the fourteen years of its
existence the foremost of Omahas public
spirited and cultured women have been
associated with 1t, many of these same
women going out to state and national
recognition. To Boston, Chicago, San
Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, st.
Louis, Minneapolis and ST. Paul and to
many other of the large cities members of
the Omaha Woman's club have gone to
take a prominent part in public and edu-
cational work. There is scarcely large
club in the country today that does not
enroll among It's members some one that
has at some time been connected with the
Omaha club. 1t is one Of the compare
lively few organizations that carries all
the lines Of work represented in the Gen
eraI Federation, and It can honestly boast
that every one of these departments is
thoroughly alive and hourishing.
