If all the nan in this country
were to start oEt, each on his own
responsibility, TO conquer another na-
ton, that tnatlon you'd not have
much to fear, would it?
But if these same men went out
together under efficient leadership.
they would be practically resisuess.
So it is with the community.
A single individual, however earn

advance the welfare of his commun-

acting each on his own initiative,
and without regard to what the 9th

Our city is entitled to the conf

every body in the community.

The COMMISSION OF ORGANIZE
TON,

1t would impose too great 2 hard
ship on the State SECRETARY TO ex-
peet Of him alone the successful ex-
tension Of Federation in Wisconsin
and therefore We recommend the
creation Of a commission on organi-
cation whose primary object shall
be to get into touch with those wheth-
er OF the clergy or Iaity who
would be in q. position to promote
local and county organizations.
A-COroIIary. Local work.
realizing that local work howev-
er apparently Insignificant is the ba-
sis OF all success in Federation we
urge upoa all our societies and as
seciate eenters the importance of
systematic and persistent effort to-
ward the correction of local wrongs
Of every description.
B.-C6roIIary. Catholic Women's
League of Wisconsin.
Knowing the great good that the
ladies aid societies have done in the
jast and fully realizing the many
special fields open Tor women we
welcome as co-workers for the great
objects Of Federation this new de-
partment and hope that a strong wo-
mems league Of Wisconsin will be a
settled fact before the National Con
vention Of Milwaukee in 1913.
C.-Corollary. Preparations for the
Milwaukee Convention.
The union of our societies and as
| sociate membership centers being
essential to solidarity, and knowing
the difficulties language and tempera
ment and association present we
nevertheless, most earnestly appeal
to all the clergy and officers Of
societies to give the executive board
Of the Wisconsin Federation of Ca
tholic Societies every opportunity to
present the. claims and objects of
this movement to their respective
parishioners and constituents in or
der that the State of Wisconsin might
offer a solid union of all counties
at the next National convention to
| be. held in Milwaukee next year.
To further accomplish this end we
urge the absolute necessity of regu-
lar county meetings and semi7annuaI
inter or district meetings.
The Executive Board furnishing
speakers for any and all occasions.

sideration of al, our National Chief

automobile numbers should be short
ened so as to be more easily read
at a glance and more certainly re

be had without running the numbers
