the United states want it. The
Kansas president could telegraph,
1000 women of Kansas ask it,,
Now they are asking congress TO
pass ''ChiId Labor" law, giving
children chance for their childhood
and lives.
In Kansas the special things the
State Federation Is working for are
the amendment of the Pure Food
law SO as to correspond with the fed
eral laws, ID Child Labor law and the
establishing of free kindergartens in
the cities. Following this clear expo
sItion of what federation means, a
social hour was spent during which
time wit, humor and Instruction
mingled.
vt 7:3O the Locust club gave re
ception at the home Of Mrs. Blair for
Mrs. Brown, inviting the other club
women of the city.

Reading, Mrs. Kline.
Valse Chromatique, Julia Blair.
