TO THE WOMEN OF ALASKA

Austin, Texas, Aug, 10, '15.
 My recent visit to the magic land of the North has made me ex- tremely eager to see more Women's Clubs organized in Alaska; these clubs should then organize into a territorial federation, and in May 1916 come into the General Fedora tion of Women's Clubs.
 Students of present day affairs are united in the opinion that no force has done more for the social uplift, for the betterment of home conditions, and for the improve ment of the child than the woman's club movement.
 l. is by no means difficult to gather in community a group of women who will gladly read or study together to prepare them selves for some line Of civic ac- ton.
 There already exists In Alaska enough clubs to form a territorial federation.
 Mrs. Frank White, chairman of our membership committee, Valley City, N. Dak., Mrs. Mary l. Wood manager of the Bureau of Informa- ton, Portsmouth, N. H., and Mrs. William P. Harper, director Of the General Federation, 615 Kinnear Place, Seattle, will gladly answer any questions as to the best steps to taks in organizing and of com ing into the Federation. All the forty-nine states in our organiza- tion stand ready and anxious to give to Alaska a hearty welcome.
 MRS. PERCY V. PENNYBACKER, President of General Federation of
 Women's Clubs.
