There still seems to be some misun-
Outstanding regarding dues to the gen
eral federation. Last week several clubs
sent me incorrect amounts This dU-
plicates the work and delays the elec+
ton of clubs to membership
please read this carefully. A club
Of less than 25 members shall pay the
sum OF $3.50.
"A club of 25 members or more shall
pay 10 cents per capita.
Then. too, be kind enough to send
checks and not money orders.
Again L would ask that all names
# delegates, aIternates and visitors to
he biennial be sent to me without
ielay.
This information is very necessary,
or if the number lustifies it is planned
o start sIeepeTs from prominent points
nd operating on special train to Chi
ago.
Il will kindly ask the clubs that have
eceived application blanks from me
o consider that the time for being
lected to membership in the general
ederatiOn is near at hand, and I re-
uest that same be forwarded to me at
nee.
Bear in mind that Texas must bring
] the largest number of clubs, espe-
tally at this time. I am sure that all
Tubs who have already received blanks
re in earnest and would feel badly not
be elected because of being late.
