ADDRESS Of Mrs. w. r. Wright
President Of Mississippi
Federation Women,s Clubs

After expressing her appreciation of
the assistance given her by officers
and members of the Federation dur
ing her administration, Mrs. Wright's
address was as follows:
"a nation can rise no higher than
its women" therefore l feel that all
interests for the good of mankind will
be greatly advanced as women adj
vance. 1t has been said, IF ever the
women band themselves together for
the public good, there will be such
force as the world has never SEEM 1t
is then our duty to stand united
body working not only for our own
selfish interest, but for the betterment
of the whole nation. With this thought
in mind, it has been the object Of
your president to cooperate with all
interests of an uplifting nature that
have appealed to us for assistance.
We have given our encouragement to
the movement inaugurated by the
Worlds Purity Federation for the sup
preston of the white slave traffic,
the humiliation of the social evil and
the proper instruction of the young
in sex hygiene. We have responded
to appeals made by the Eugenic So
ciety and should give our assistance
to the passage of more rigid marriage
laws. We have shown our interest
in the great conservation problems
that are today receiving so much pub
lie thought We are in line with the
movement for the physical examina-
ton of school children and for all re-
forms tending to better facilities for
the instruction of the youth of the
land.
In matters pertaining to public
health, your president has co-operated
with all agencies where the influence
of the Federation would make for the
good of our people. In the organiza-
lions for the improvement Of the home,

Clubs stand on record as favoring all
reforms of a beneficent nature.
Among rural women, this organiza-
ton is known as one where love and
sympathy exist; where their interests
are our interests; that we are anxious
to welcome Mississippis rural women
in the Federation and to know no differ
ence between the urban jewellers and
those who are fortunate in being able to
pass their days in the sunshine of
Gods beautiful rural communities.
We have sought in our own state, to
foster a love for the beautiful in mu-
sic literature and art, by offering spe-
cial trophies in these departments and
thus to encourage mothers, whose
lives are full of unselfish service fol
their loved ones, to revive their once
cherished arts for the good of theiI
homes and pleasure of their families
In these contests original endeavoI
has been the keynote that we have
sounded and the result is evident.
We stand for the encouragement and
pleasure of the mothers and wives who
because of heavy home duties, deny
themselves the pleasure of congenial
fellowship in club life and l would in
sist that club membership be made
less stringent in order that such WON
en- may be able to enjoy the privileges
of club membership.

care and rearing of her children but
who has taken courage for the good
of her home and in order that she
might grow intellectually with her

true companion of him whom she has
left all others to serve, that his pride
and joy might be made perfect in her

Some blood disorders become deeply
rooted in the glands and tissues, and the
mistake is made of resorting to drastic
drugs. These only aggravate by causing
other and worse troubles. A host of peo-
pie know this to be true. They know
from painful experience.
To get right down into where the blood
is vitiated requires S. s. S. the greatest
blood purifier ever discovered.
This remarkable remedy contains one
ingredient, the active purpose of which is
to stimulate the tissues to the healthy
selection of its own essential nutriment
and the medicinal elements of this match
less blood purifier are just as essential to
well balanced-health as the nutritious
elements of the meats, grains, fats and
sugars of our daily food.
Not only this but If from the presence
Of some disturbing poison there is a local
or general interference of nutrition to
cause boils, carbuncles, assesses and
kindred troubles. s. 3. S. so directs the
local cells that this poison is rejected and

Time of Meeting.
The Executive Board decided to
change the time of meeting from
spring to fall and this is the first con-
vention since that decision was made.
While the time of meeting is left with
the Executive Board and the hostess
clubs, it is important that this matter
be discussed at this convention so
that an opinion of the delegates be
given as to the wisdom of this change.
In many respects the fall months seem
best suited for the conventions. There
are few conflicting meetings at this
time and the new club officers are
chosen and installed and have the adj
vantage of the convention in the begin
ming of their term of office. If the
conventions could be held the second
week in November it would possibly
be better or the second week in Octo-
Der might be decided the best time to
meet
Endowment Fund of the General
Federation.
| am very anxious to see the Mis-
sissippi Federation of Women's Clubs
meet the allotment made by the Gen.
eral Federation for the Endowment
Fund of the General Federation. At
present this state stands very low in
the column of declarations contributing
to this fund. We should, at this con.
vention, wipe out this obligation or ar.
range for meeting it,
Mississippi Federation Endowment.
If the General Federation of Won.
ems Clubs has need for an endowment
fund to be used to carry on the busl
ness of the organization, our state fed
GRAFTON too, needs to have this substan
tial financial backing, in order that
we may more efficiently engage in the
work before us and more thoroughly
assist the clubs in the state in the
work planned for them by this organ
lzatiCn. | want to see this movement
started. 1t may take years to reach
an endowment necessary to meet the
needs Oh the Federation but it is time
that we lay the foundation for such q
fund. 1t will give me great pleasure
to see this movement inaugurated al
this convention.
Publicity to Work of the Federation
Club women should carefully attend
to giving publicly to their endavors
and derive assistance from the dissem
ination of club news through the press
In no better way can the public MIND
be impressed with the Importance Of
the work of women than in this. The
medium of the press has greatly facili
tated my work by lessening the labor.

hat these reports also be made to the
press chairman of the Federation.
Peace And Political Science.
The General Federation of Women's
Clubs has seen fit to add to its work,
Two new subjects as subcommittee
under the education department They
are peace and political science. The
Mississippi Federation should keep
abreast with the work of other wom-
ems organizations by following the
direction of the General Federation.
The movement for universal peace
is becoming more and more a real
issue. Women should be the first to
enlist in the peace army, thereby lend
ing their influence to stop the butchery
of the ages. Women are most bereft
by the ravages of war and it is for
them to say, 1--WE will have no more
OF it,"
The study of political science should
not, in any way bring politics into this
organization It has long since been
decided that the Mississippi Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs must be free
from politics and advise the adoption
of this committee, knowing full well
that in it, this organization will in no
wise be breaking away from the for
mer policy. This subject would re-
ceive the serious consideration of
women and as a subcommittee under
the educational work, would result in
broadening the minds of our women
and their enlightenment on subjects
that are of importance to them. I
hope | am understood
In conclusion l want to urge that in
the future life of the Mississippi Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, that we
fail not to remember that our present
development, and the scope of our
usefulness has been attained because
We have remembered, even in our
most aggressive work, that we are
women; that not by might or strength
does God intend that we should fight
for the causes that we are pledged to
support.
Our future success depends, in a
large measure, on the way we impress
public sentiment with our earnest I'M
selfish desire to bring about conditions
conducive to the best interests of the
people of our state and nation. Let
us keep in mind the fact that the
homes of our state must be made bet
ter if our people improve and what
ever comes to destroy the sanctity of
the home will sap the life of it's &C.
cupants.
With these thoughts for your consid-
GRAFTON, want to bespeak your inter-
est in them and to assure You that as
/ this organization will ever claim an
affectionate place in my thoughts, I
wish to offer the following words for
! the members of the Mississippi Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs and ask
that you live by this pledge in your
club life:
| Realizing that by united effort
only, is success possible, we there
fore pledge in all earnestness and
unselfishness-no forgetting our
Heavenly endowment as women
to support and foster all interests
that tend toward the welfare of
our homes, schools and communi-
ties; to stand for the conservation
of life and our natural resources;
for purity of thought; for the
spread of the club spirit to wom-
en- of all classes; for the suppress
sion of vice and the uplift of the
fallen and to safeguard all of our
undertakings by continuing ever
under the guidance of Divine
| Power.

Election of Club Officers.

1t is important that all federated
clubs hold their election of officers al
the same time or that the club off
GERS assume their duties at the same
time In this way only can the yea1
book of the Federation and books OF
the officers contain a correct list of
club officers and will clubs receive all
communications sent out by the off
GERS. This change could be easily
made by all clubs and suitable time
be chosen for the election of officers.
May or any of the spring months,
would serve best for the election of
officers and the new officers should
assume their duties with the beginning
of the fall club meetings.
Entertaining Convention of M. r. w. C.
All clubs of the Mississippi Fedora
ton are of equal Importance to the
growth and work of the organization.
Because clubs are scattered through
out the state, in the small towns as
well as in the larger ones, is no rea-
son why the clubs in the smaller
places do not wish to do their part to-
ward the entertainment of the conven-
lions of the Federation. 1t would be
hard for any one club, even in the
larger places, to entertain this body in
its present membership. This condi-
ton would be successfully met, II
clubs in neighboring towns would join
in the entertainment of the convention,
each sharing in the expenses and the

FIRE DESTROYS
 THREE HOUSES
Bad Blaze Originates from Unknown Cause in Vacant Place on Johnson Addition -Loss is About $2, 800

Yesterday morning three houses in the Johnson Addition were destroyed 'by fire A fourth had to be turned over to be saved One of the dss- troyed houses was occupied by san dy Moss and owned by II. Colebasin. Another was occupied by Samuel Triesac and owned by F Rowden The empty house. wrere tae fire started, was owned by The Johnson Addition Building company.
 Nearly all the furniture in both houses was taken out by the Lowell volunteer fire department and citi zens who were attracted by the flames. Streams of water were kept on the burning buildings but proved of little avail except in saving the ad. joining buildings. Word was sent to the Bisbee department for additional aid and this was furnished. with re suit of stopping further spread of the flames in the thickly built addition.
 A small two room house was turn ed over on the side and rolled away in order to be saved. The loss on all the buildings is estimated at about S2,50O, partly covered by insurance.
 It is unknown how the fire was started but it is believed to have been caused ty loose matches laying on the floor, probably left by a tramp who sought shelter for the night in the vacant house.
