Complimentary Response.
In most complimentary terms,
Mrs. William Conrad of War
saw, First Vice-President of the
: State Federation, responded as
above noted.
Against Huge Bill Boards.
Mrs. O. p Kinsey of Valpa-
raiso, a past state president, was
present, and spoke before the
meeting. She said that she had
just returned from trip to Mex
ico, and described the lowly con-
dition of the women in that coun-
try, and the great work whicfI
was before them for their uplift-
ing. She had intended to be a
listener at this meeting" she
said, "but always seemed to be
given an opportunity to speak.
The one object in federating
clubs should be in order that the
women may become acquainted
with each other and form a more
perfect fellowship in the district,
state and nation All that we can
do in this world, is to help each
other, and every woman should
: keep that idea in mind. One
thing that | would like to speak
against, continued Mrs. Kinsey,
rs the DETACHMENT of the beauti-
ful scenery of the country by
: large hideous billboards. In my
long trip from Mexico to Indi-
ana, | remember of one sign in
particular, tobacco sign, which
desecrated the landscape on the
sides of the railroad, across the
country. You women, if you have
: husbands who chew tobacco,
shorld all prevail upon them not
to chew that brand, you know of
what | refer. am not adverse
to tobacco particularly, but cer-
tainly do despise to see the SYM
metry of our green fields destroy
ed by such ugly posters. That is
: one thing which we might all
give our attention to"
Mrs. Kinsey's vigorous talk
was received with applause, and
the confirmed mods of her hear
: ers, displayed the womanly at
: titude toward such methods of
advertising.
