Iowa Club Federation
Bulletin Is Issued

1t has been most gratifying to the
press committee Of the I. F. w. c..
to note the increasing growth of the
bulletins circulation. The club news
may be found in almost every large
daily paper in the state and in many
of the weekly papers,. 1t is the aim
of the committee to acquaint the
thousands of women of the state with
the work Of the federated clubs thus
Increasing the usefulness Of the or
ganization and adding to its member
ship. We believe that it hroadens the
life of every woman to take part in
club life and It increases the posi-
bilities of one club to know what the
other clubs Of the state are doing
the club that remains aloof from or
ganized club activities thereby re-
stricts its horizon and lessons its use
fulness even to it's own members. 1t
Is the mission OF the press commit
tee to induce clubs to federate and to
feel that they need one another, and
in this work, the committee is great
ly aided by the press of the state.
The women of the general fedora
ton have for nearly three years had
committee on peace as part OF its
educational department, and this
committee has put forth unremitting
efforts to enlist women in a careful
study of the conditions and expenses
.necessitated by the war, OF interna-
tional relations, and all kindred top
les. To promote the work still fur
Their, at the council meeting of the
general federation to be held in Port
land, Ore, next June 1-3, DR.. David
Staar Jordan will deliver lecture
on Women and the Peace Move
ment."
Iowa City people are very gener.
GUS in their assurance that all dele.
gates to the state biennial convel..
ton will be entertained in homes for
lodging and breakfast so far as dele
gates desire 1t. Though they do not
take it into their account, it will be
a great tax on their resources for
rooms. Iowa City is smaller than
any former entertaining town and
the convention will probably be
larger. 1t is, therefore, especially
requested by the Iowa Federation
that as many delegates as possible
take advantage of the good and abun-
dant hotels as accommodation. Great
