The Kansas Womans Day club has
begun to make plans for their meet
ing which will be held some time dur
ing the latter part of the month. The
exact date of the meeting will be de-
cided upon later. The Woman'S Kan
sas Day meeting is an annual affair
held in Topeka, and is attended by rep
resentative women throughout the
state. The members are planning an
especially interesting program for the
coming meeting which will be of state
wide interest. The program will not
be given in the evening as hereto
fore. The business meeting will be
held in the forenoon, and the pro-
gram for the afternoon will be finish
ed by O'Clock, so that the visitors
may arrive on morning train and
leave on an evening train, if they wish.
Such an arrangement will probably
enable a good many people to attend
that an evening meeting necessitated
their remaining until the following
day. luncheon will be served at
noon of the day of the meeting. Pro-
vision will be made for three or four
hundred women. Further arrange
ments for the meeting will be pub

At the federation meeting at Unity
church Thursday afternoon, the queS~
ton of Topeka representation in the
State Federation board of management
was settled so far as the wish of the
City Federation goes. The matter ap-
parently has been much misunder-
stood, and action on it has been de-
layed from year to year. At the meet
inp Thursday Mrs. c. c. Goddard, the
state president, brought it before the
women, explaining that the City FEEDER
alton of Topeka should be represent
ed and that the president should have
a place on the state board. At present
the City Federation is paying large
dues into the State Federation and is
fairs. If the City Federation goes into
the State Federation direct, it will
necessitate some change in the consti-
tuition, which can be effected at the
next state board meeting; but if the
City Fed Grafton comes in through the
First District Federation, the arrange
ment would be somewhat unfair to the
other towns of the First district as the
Topeka federation has so much larger
membership than the other town, and
could command such a dispropor-
tionately large vote. This would be a
decided disadvantage to the other
towns or the district, and the Topeka
federation has kept itself distinct from
it's district organization. A vote was
taken, by which the clubs of the To-
peka federation decided to express a
preference to enter the State Fedora
ton direct. The matter will be pre-
scented at the next state meeting, and
without doubt the matter will pass.
Mrs, A. A. GODDARD, the president of
the City Federation has heen asked as
a guest to the next meeting of the
