These remarks were made mostly
by outside people and over jealous
members, who had forgotten that
there must always be first the seed
time, then the upspringing of the
grain or shrub, and after much
growth the harvest of grain or fruit.
Now we will admit in the first few
months of the Federation's exist
ance there was not much evidence of
its work or scope; yet was the see1
of all good things being diligently
soWn, tended and watered, by the
faithful officials and members of this
organization. And in due season the
upspringing of the seed was seen. A
little later during the second year
of this body's life, a number OF peo-
pie outside the organization began
to realize, that when the growing

it has seemed to me, that the results

the city's interests foremost in our
mind, we have not failed to retain
our interest in state and national pro
jects-without these broad interests,
we would tend to become selfish ami
narrow-but the very fact, that we
are helping someone else to fight
successfully their battles, brings ado
ed stimulus to us to win our own.
So may we always continue to ex-
tend our mite of help to the Con-
sumers League in their battle for
the health, the prosperity and the
sanitary conditions of our working
people. And as truly may we al
ways continue our membership in the
American Civic association, thus help
ing by our small fee and influence
to make a better and more beautiful
America.
Nor should we ever neglect to
make use of our power of petition,
which when properly used to in
fuenlce our state and national 1egisla-
tors, has often been the means OF
securing parliamentary measures of
inestimable value to the whole coun-
try. By this means we hope to des-
troy the Great White Plague, so that
inside Of twenty-five years the name

us as the. plague" of olden times.
One direct use of the power of pc
tition is shown us in the victory of
the State Federation in completely
routing the promoters of the bill to
change the school age from four to
six years. Our state senator, Mr..
Theodore Brazeau, said: "a per ect
storm Of petitions objecting to the
change enveloped the state capito ,
and the authors of the bill were so
impressed by this sentiment, as to
lose even the courage to bring up
the bill for consideration" Thus
persisted joint resolution No. ga.
This is an important lesson for
US, and must surely teach us that on
all subjects of general interest be-
fore the legislature, an expression of
our opinions may help to tip the
scale in the right direction. We will
turn now to our local affairs.

REPORT OF
RETIRING PRES.
Mrs. w. F. Kellogg Given at The
Business meeting of The City
Federation.
To the Members of the Federate;
Cluhc.

To the Members of the Federated
Clubs:
We have met together for the
last time in this club year and
want to say in passing that for
many things l am extremely sorry
this is so. The personal side OF
the Federation work is such, that ii
draws us TO one another more
and more, as the days and
the weeks roll on; and 1 have
come to have such strong
attachment for each and every mem
Der of this organization, who has
helped to make local history this
past year, that the thought Of any
less close personal relationship
comes to me with keen regret. The
pleasant hours spent in official con-
ference and in committee work !
shall sadly miss in time to come.
But one of the most encourage
ing facts-even in the ''stress and
burden" of this work We are striving
to dds that we are all in the best
sense, co-workers and united friends
in the great good work we espouse.
This brings to mind the sad fact
that we are called to mourn the loss
of two of our beloved memberships.
e. B. Rossier, full of years and
kindly interest, and Mrs. AL .
Ridgman, filled with rare good judg-
ment and enthusiasm. For their
kindly presence we cannot again hope
but for their example of unfailing
interest and help even unto the end
of their lives, we may be grateful, in
deed
Thinking over the years work
now finished-we have much to en-
courage successful results on the
one hand to crafty us and failures
on the other to stimulate us to
renewed efforts.
Nothing we have been engaged in
promoting is yet finished SO COM
pletely, as to warrant us in taking
our attention from it, or lessening
our effort to bring each plan to flu l.
est perfection.
1t is pleasing thought to most
of us, that while we have always had

stamp of patrician's daughter in her
bearing and her countenance-a bru-

determination shone in her eyes and
appeared in the self contained poise of

instinctively conceived her to be in

was soon to have unexpected evidence.
Gazing at her with a sense of grow

spoke:

Carolina was interested.
