WOMAN's CLUBS.

Concluding an editorial comment
upon a recent federation meeting in
Louisville, the Courier-Journal says:
1T used to be that the Woman's
Club was very tame sort Of an affair,
a gathering together of few con
genial soulds to discuss the ltest mag
azines or the neighborhood gossip.
But things have changed and the Wo-
mans Club has changed with them.
In the process of evolution II has
become forceful agency for good in
every community where it has found
a foothold. The Federation OF Wo-
mans Clubs today is a power for
State advanced and is making its
influence manifest in various avenues
Of uplift.
THE women's clubs are doing an
important work for popular education,
for better roads, for better sanitation,
for improved industrial conditions, for
civic Identification for forestry con
servation and for many other things
that are Of vital moment TO the prog
ress, the prosperity and the moral up
building of the community, the State
and the nation. Louisville has many
of these clubs and their influence has
been distinctly beneficial. Every i'm
portant city in Kentucky has its wo-
mems clubs and they are gradually
spreading to the towns and villages.
In every instance these organizations
are accomplishing something for the
betterment Of the communities whose
interests they serve"
