! Perkins.
The election OF Mrs. Cora B. Ham
NETT as president sets the stamp of
approval upon her work of the past
year and insures the prosperity of the
union for the coming year.
The privilege of appointing a vice
president-at-large is accorded the pres
ident by the constitution and in select
ing her vice president Mrs Hammctt
voiced her own choice and the pleasure
OF the convention in selecting Mrs.
Abbie b. Hillerman OF Sapulpa.
No other woman in Oklahoma Is
more closely allied with W. C. T. u,
work than Mrs. Hillerman. For sew.
eral years she was president of the
Territory w. C. r. T., and resigned to
accompany her husband on business
trip to Panama. On returning to Okla
homa she was welcomed with enthu-
slasm by the w. C. T. u, workers and
made State Lecturer and Organizer, a
position of untold Importance in carry
ing on the w. C. r. T., work
1t Is pleasant to see how Mrs. Hitler
man is loved by the convention and
how the bread she has cast upon the
waters Is returning in the splendid
reports from the unions she has moth
cred.
Mrs Heberling Is serving her third
year as corresponding secretary.
The convention firmly believe that
her equal in this work cannot be
found.
The recording secretary Is woman
new to the ranks, but efficient and
with little practice will supply the
place perfectly. Mrs. Straughn was
pressed into service at the last mo-
ment to take the notes OF the conven-
tion: she accepted as a make-shift and
showed herself so perfectly qualified
for the position that she was unani-
mously elected.
The state treasurer, Mrs. McWethy,
will enter upon her tenth year OF ser
vice. Her efficiency. her faithfulness
and her general popularity are at
tested in her constant reelection.
BY motion of Mrs. Abbie Hillerman
the L. r. L., secretary and B. Y. P.
secretary were listed as officers of
the state association-Mrs. c. e. Swan
of Guthrie, who has proven her effi-
cheney IN service was reelected L. T.
H.. secretary. She appointed Mrs. AL
len OF Guthrie, assistant.
Mrs Rankin OF Perkins was elected
p. Y. p, secretary by a unanimous
vote Mrs. Rankin, too, is we'll fitted
for the service and takes much pleas
ure in young peoples work.
A very delightful surprise to Mrs.
Cora p. Hammett was the presentation
OF a beautiful bouquet of American
Beauty roses by the Oklahoma City
union through their delegates, Mrs.
Mary Applegate. Mrs. Hammett res
ponded in few words of appreciation. |
From the election of officers the
convention proceeded to continue the
reports OF County Presidents.
Seminole county reported three

port.
Ottawa county was represented by
Mrs. Allen who reported three unions
and fifty active members. Also, that

Miss Daisy Maude Webb Of Ardmore

Nearer My God to Thee" Miss
Webb's choice Of music was timely
ami the beautiful strains OF the melody
fell like a benediction upon the con-
vention..

their appreciation and by special re-
