Echoes Of Woman's Clubs


the poetic Indian name happened to
be made up of the initial letters of
the charter members given names.
It's a triumph or originality. With
such proof Of their ingenuity and
invention suggest that If any state
officers get into difficulties they call
upon the Kallenac club people to ex-
tricate them. Some day, Mrs. Sup
piger must write description Of her
"Fireless Cooker" for Echoes. Baked
beans ON hot day without fire
in the kitchen range for hours, it
was revelation to me to learn it's
capacities, its simplicity and econo-
my of structure.
Spokane is one of the few cities
Of the Northwest genuine metro
polls. We call our home town cir
ties, but after all, we are only most
of us little country towns waiting till
some alchemist shall wave his wand
and waken US.
The Southern delegates should
visit Spokane on our return. Before
this country knew the white man it
was ordered there should be city
where that magnificent water power
pours down a city had to be. She
is rich in the natural power so many
Of our Western cities lack. There's
beautiful rainbow light over one
of the falls.
Mrs. Standrod has been busy talk
ing club and federation matters with
women into towns not in the fedora
ton. We have request to mail
copies of Echoes to Mrs. Hattie Nor
gan, Malad City, Ida. This active
little town wants to form Study
club. We shall be glad to have a
real new baby born into the First
District SO early in the club year.
Mackay is quite we'll grown now, of
course she will be little jealous of
new baby at first, all children are,
but warm welcome will be at hand
we assure Malad. Rigby, too, has a
little club that thinks of coming in
and we will report all this to Mrs.
Hoover, who is chairman Of the out
look and reciprocity committee for
the First district.
Mrs. Standrod also writes in an
other letter. I'VE had delightful
visit from Mrs. Pittenger last Friday.
1t just happened to be the regular
day for the Civic club meeting and
she was invited to address the club.
which she did to good account, in
behalf of the Home Finding Society.
Mrs. ]. H. Greene, president of
the Woman's club of Mackay passed
through Blackfoot Wednesday of this
week on her way to Iowa and Indiana
for several weeks visit.
There are few club women who
say they would willingly contribute
and work for the state scholarship
fund if it was applicable to all state
schools instead of the university at
Moscow only. To those women we
wish to say the only way to have it
apply to all state schools is to create
a fund sufficient. Help to make it
thousand dollars.

Mrs. Butterfield writes as follows:
"By the way, go to my party
convention tomorrow member of
a solid local option delegation I
know of few things more necessary
than the active interest of every good
citizen in public affairs. know Of
few things more distasteful than &C
tive participation in them, but there
is small use of declaiming at other
people If one is unwilling to act one
self. So far as know our delegation
or any member, of 1t, is absolutely un-
pledged to a single individual-w
stand for but one thing local OPP
on"
The club women OF Bingham coun-
ty were more fortunate with their
already held. They simply
sent in a request to the county CEN
trail committee that certain local
option plank be placed in the plat
form and 1t was inserted at once,
word for word, as requested.
