Jacksonville, Fla, Times-Union.)
The board of directors of the Flor
ida Federation of Woman's clubs held
two important and interesting ses-
sions in Sanford, August "a and %,
which pass into history as among the
most successful of board meetings.
The Sanford Woman's club was hon
ored in having the privilege of enter
tanning the distinguished guests.
Thursday evening, Aug, "a, a recep-
tion was given in honor of the visit
ors at Hotel Carnes, at which de-
lightful informality prevailed. A
pleasing program of special dances,
vocal and piano selections was rem
dered and received with enthusiastic
applause. Mrs. Fannie Stembridge
Munson made the announcements
with her usual grace and poise. The
first number was given by Miss Fan
ME Reba Munson, one of Sanfords S
favorite young musicians, who rem
dered an Octave Study" by Kullak,
and responded to the encore with
Chopin's Prelude in c. Sharp Minor
She was followed by the Gavotte de
Vestras gracefully interpreted with
demure precision by a group of girls
from Miss Margaret Wights dancing
class. Mrs. Lucille Aspinwall Tack
ach, soprano soloist, exquisitely rem
dered a group of songs, including In
the June Tide (William Spencer John
SOM, A Banjo Song tSydney Holmes i,
and Out In LIES Garden Carrie Jac.
obs Bond).
A very charming feature of the re-
ceptlon was the playing of Mrs. Iva
Sproule-Baker, state chairman of mu-
sic. With finished art, Mrs. Baker rem.
dered Una Vista Maris and A Reverie.
The delighted audience expressed
their pleasure in enthusiastic ap.
plause. Saran Wight and Maude Lake
danced the College Hornpipe with
laughing abandon that won for them
much applause.
At the conclusion Of the program,
punch and light refreshments were
served by Misses Lillian Herring, VIr-
ginia Brady and Ruth Mcdaniel, as
sisted by the girls who took part on
the program. Mrs. J. w. Dickins, re-
firing president of the club, presented
the guests to the board members.
Friday morning, Aug. 20, following
the business session, luncheon was
rendered the board and their hostess
es at the Woman's club. The club col
ors OF red and green were used in the
decoration Of the table. Silver candle
labra with red shades were placed at
the corners of the table while the cen
terpiece was basket of red hibiscus
and ferns, tied with big bow of red
tulle. Vases and bowls of red roses
and other garden flowers were placed
about the room on tables and stands.
The social entertainment of the
guests concluded with an automobile
ride through the courtesy of the board
of trade.

TO cook with every convenience and unlm-

cook with little and to utilize scraps of cloth

Our latest department is a class in in
tcnsive gardening This is in direct line, you
see, with our recognition OF the need Of being
entirely sels-supporting. In Europe, while
greater familiarity with agriculture has always
been enjoyed than is found in America, the
importance of the work which women are ca
pable of doing in the fields has been strikingly
displayed In Germany great stress was laid
upon the fact that the soldiers must be well
fed If battles were to be won The women re-
soonded. They have prevented a terrible lam

That is what we hope TO accomplish.
But she hastened to add that the society
was most vitally interested in doing things and
not talking. Talk, she pointed out was very
easy-quite as easy, in fact, as futile-and that
only by setting out 10 attain first OF all con-
crete ideals could you hope to attain abstract
or synthetic ideals.
Il cannot too strongly emphasize" she said,
the importance of this point. We have begun
our work at the very bottom and are building
steadily and consistently toward better and
more real Americanism. Colonel E. F. Glenn,
chief of staff, has been good enough to say
that in his opinion this is the greatest move
r1ent the country has ever seen.
we have definite programme OF work,
definite and perfectly specific With the ultl-
mate ideal always in mnd-the ideal OF patriot
ism which must be aroused and OF national
solidarity which must be oreated-we are busy
organizing volunteer corps OF women for
service in time Of national disaster Such an
organization depends upon training. Women
must be adequately trained before they can
do effective work, and this training is being
ACCOMPLISHED by means OF classes in first aid
and hygiene, classes in making bandages and
dressings classes -

"Ah." she answered, but we must be pre-

And in connection with this last she stated
tba, in her opinion the American nation was
the most wasteful nation in the world
Waste, with US, depends upon an ignorance
of values. We do not know how TO save,
LARGELY because we do not recognize the OBJ
Iga,ion of saving. We arc high in prosperity.

The Special Aid Society recognizes no dis

ITS ideals or even with the mechanism by
means OF which it is hoped those ideals may
be attained.
1T is for this reason more perhaps than
any other" declared Mrs. Alexander, that we
have steadily refused TO ally ourselves with any
OF the mems societies. With men there are al
most bound to be some political dependencies.
If their organizations are not actually involved
in politics, tien there IS the suspicion N the
mind OF the public which cannot be got away
from and which otten-especlaily n such woFH

selves. preferrins TO stand alone. We go 10

The organization OF the women OF America

Why did no; our border troops take the

citizens violated the law by smuggling arms ana
ammunition to Villa when they were aware OF
the fae, that he was planning the murder oi
Americans? Why did not the news agency
which sent a special correspondent and teies-
rspher to che point Of eonfasration notify the
authorities of the danger? All these facts arc
of vital importance 20 the people OF tho United

UP if We wish TO retain the respect OF Latin
America. which was cognizant cf these facts?
1t is unfortunately true that Mexico's rag-
edy is being utilized by politicians as step
ping stone 10 selfish ambitions. Between con-
tendine political parties Mexico has been worse
used than football. 1t is high time that the
American attitude toward that unfortunate na-
ton is changed.
Quite naturally the patriotism OF the Mexi-
can people was aroused at the appearance OF
the American troops in their country. Their
national pride was injured. They scented the
danger and realized the crisis much more
keenly that did we. But no sooner had the
true mission Of our troops been explained 10
them than the Mexican attitude changed at
once Notwithstanding the alarming news re-
ports the Carranza government as well as
the Mexican people as whole did and are
doing everything within their power to CO.

The Mexican people have the most implicit
faith in President Wilson. They are nor
doubling the sincerity Of the Administration
in It's assertion that it is not seeking the ag-
grandizement Of Mexican territory. But they
feel and realize that the danger is coming not
from the Administration but from other quar-
ters in the United States.
Certainly not an inch OF Mexican soil must
be touched. Mexico cannot be conquered and
the people will not be subdued. What certain
financial powers desire is not the annexation
of Mexico. but the control OF its gold mines,
coal beds, oil fields and all other natural re-
sources OF that wondrously rich yet so trag-
ically poor country. They are aiming TO con-
troll it financially; they are trying TO acquire
its wealth; they will strangle Mexico imam
