ADVOCATES DISTRICT
FEDERATION OF CLUBS
Mrs. B. A. Fowler Makes Many Re-
communications to Annual
Meeting

District federation of clubs was adj
vocated by Mrs B. A. Fowler at the
annual meeting of the Woman's club
held yesterday afternoon. At this
last gathering for the year the presi-
oent made many invaluable sugges-
lions for the coming season being
especially eager for the inauguration
OF district meetings; the good to be
derived will be of as much practical
benefit to the small clubs as the
state federation to the clubs affiliat-
ed with hat body She spoke of the
recognition the club was receiving as
manifested by twelve being chosen
from the organization for the citi-
zen's committee for the charter COM
mission which too, was but another
evidence of the clubs expansion. In
reviewing the work of the past
twelve months she called attention to
the excellent financial condition. and
the intellectual value received from
the lecture recital course that was
ship day was more than a social OBJ
serVation, she declared since it gave
the members an opportunity to de-
iiiohstid le various talents they DOS
sessed She paid pleasing tribute
to Miss Florence Bartlett who made
Gentlemen's evening memorable by a
brilliant travel talk Illustrated by
stereopticon slides which she collect
ed while abroad. The Christmas fes-
tiVal and the happiness it brought
the children as well as the charity
given at this time, was touched up
on. Among other contributions was
the sum given the endowment fund
of the federation and the annual
scholarship fund Her appreciation
of the different departments was
most encouraging and will give the
chairman an impetus to carry on
their work. In conclusion she urged
that more encouragement be extended
the university extension course ser
les.
Mrs. Fowler has served the club
as president six different seasons
and is one of the best loved club
women in the state. She was given
an enthusiastic reception at the con-
clusion of her address and presented
with an exquisite brooch from the
members of the club
