But the only thing this sad world
needs
Is just the art of being kind.
To the members of the Nevada
Federation of Women's Clubs, Greet
ing:
My work as your president was un-
dertaken with full appreciation of my
inexperience and whatever of merit
there is in the summing up of our
years work is due in a large measure
to the hearty cooperation of the ex-
ecutive board, chairmen of committees
and the friendly counsel of my pre-
decessor. Also to the untiring efforts
of the press committee who made pos
sible the sending out of our weekly
club notes.
Early in the year occurred the death
of Mrs Chas. A. Norcross. an honored
member of our state board We regret
the loss Of her wise counsel and
faithful friendship, but feel that the
fneness of her character and the glow
of her sweet spirit will have an en-
nobling effect on those of us who
knew her and were privileged to work
with her Her place as Recording
Secretary was filled by the appoint
ment if Mrs. f. E. Hull of Yering
ton.
1t was both an honor and privi
lege to have as our guest in May
Mrs Pennybacker, our General Fed
Grafton president whose gracious pres
ence did much to arouse interest in
our work.
1t is a notable fact that the club
women who disseminate the most en-
thusiasm are those who attend the
meetings of the State Federation.
They realize the meaning of our in
dividual efforts in our own communi-
ties and the great power of organized
effort. Cannot each club arrange
hereafter to send at least one dele
gate to the state meeting who will on
her return act as the leaven to leaven
the whole club,
Chairmen of committees and club
presidents can do much toward max
ing the federation wheels move
smoothly by eliminating the useless
delays of previous years. The club

between the Federation and the indi-
yiduai club member.
Arrange for Federation Day and
give reports of this annual meeting
that the club may become informed
OF what is being accomplished by the
women OF the stats,

something good share It with your
neghbors. Have an efficient club re-
porter.
Three board meetings were held,
one In Reno Immediately after the
adjournment of the annual meeting
one the following week in Carson, and
one Ia May. 1t has been impossible
for your president to visit many clubs
but il was her pleasure to be the guest
of the Leisure Hour and the Parent
Teachers Association of Carson.
In your service your president ha.
written more than five hundred letters
She has responded for you to numer
Gus appeals for help from other or
CARNATIONS, gladly aiding them in ;
common interest, realizing that co
operation is the need of the hour.
In the past year new clubs have
joined our ranks. Minden, Wells

We have almost completed the las
pledge of 500 to the National Endow
ment Fund, known as the Saral

In directing our attention to tn
betterment of Nevada we have no
forgotten our sisters across the seas
