Organize the Women.

gon campaign is the organization of
the women in the homes by forming
Made in Oregon consumers leagues
and Business Women's clubs. This
was the burden of very interesting
address delivered by Mrs. Edith To-
zier-Wetherred, vice-president of the
Washington State Press Association.
She told in practical way what had
been done to organize the home con-
sumers leagues in the cities of Wash
ington, to which was due in large
measure the increasing prosperity of
that state. She said that while Ore
gon had greater natural resources,
more diversified products and was
richer in every material way, the state
of Washington was outstripping us
industrially, commercially and finan-
cially. This was due to the great 10y
,alty of her people to the home indus
try. They had been educated with the
spirit Of home patriotism and devo-
ton to the home product had been
more highly developed in the progress
sive communities. The work had been
done there largely through the wo-
mems clubs and she offered her serv-
ices on some other occasion when she
hoped to address the womens clubs Of
this city, and hoped to organize bus
mess woman club at Salem and other
cities in the valley.
Mrs Wetherred is an inspiring talk
err and has done very practical work in
this line in the state of Washington.
At the close of her address a number
of prominent club women of the Cap
ital City asked to be introduced to her
and extended her an invitation to meet
their club at an early date and con-
suit with them how best to promote
the home manufacturing enterprises.
At the close Of her remarks she had
explained how a week was set apart
in the city for emphasizing the home
market conditions. One day all the
ladies in the city of Tacoma called for
soaps, made in Tacoma. Another day
all called for lard and meat products
put up in Tacoma; on another day all
called for baking powder, extracts and
pickles made in Tacoma. There was
such run on the home merchants
that they could not supply the demand
for the products Of the home manu-
facturer This was extended to in
clude all the industries of the state
and this is new inspiration to invest
ments of capital. Mrs. Wetherred
showed very clearly the relation of
the home to better Industrial condi-
tions and she was frequently applaud
ed by the immense audience, largely
composed Of women.
