Nprhe Nevada Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs held it's ninth annual
convention on Oct. 1921 at the
COSY little club house of the Wo-
mans Club at Goldfield. There
were 80 delegates present. At
thought this does not seem very
many, but when one considers that
the size of the state is equal TO
the combined area of the New Eng
land states and the state of New
York. and that we met far out on
the desert wastes hundreds of miles
from the agricultural sections wher
the greatest number of clubs are
found. it bespeaks an enthusiasm
rarely met with. Women come
from all parts of the state, ready
to tell their experiences and what
they had accomplished in thelr
clubs and in turn carried back with
them new experiences, and a great
er and broader view of the mis-
sions of the club and the benefits
that might be derived from it.
Four new clubs were added to
our list making the number so.
The new clubs are: Smith VALLEY
Civic Improvement Club, yelling
ton; Civic Improvement Club, Love
lock: Elko Draper Club; and the
Woman Citizen Club of Reno. All
these clubs we're represented at the
Federation. There were only
five clubs that were without repre-
sentation.
The "Get Acquainted Breakfast"
was a huge success. Seated in the
center of the room at a large table
were the guests of honor, Mrs.
J. +. Cowles of Los Angeles, Presi-
dent of the General Federation and
Mrs. f. d. knight, President of
the California Federation, the Off
GERS and chairmen of departments
OF the State Federation and tie
presidents of clubs. The rest OF
the guests were seated at small
tables arranged artistically around
the larger one. During the break
fact many appropriate toasts and
responses were given, several must
cal numbers were given, and the
second edition of the Goldfield Wo-
mans Age was read. The meet
ing was open in the afternoon and
the work of the convention began
without delay. The most interest
ing feature of the afternoon was
the "reminiscences of the Biennial
held in New York in June. Mrs.
p. B. Ellis, Mrs. c. P. Squires, Miss
Cohn and Mrs. R. Martin being the
s1kkers.
N the evening severals interest
ing addresses were given. also sew
eraI musical numbers and readings.
Mrs. S. D. Eubank as president of
the Hostess club gave the address
Of welcome. Mrs. c. P. Squires,
president Of the Federation gave the
response and annual address. Mrs.
Cowles, General Federation presi-
dent gave the history of %organiza-
ton. Governor Boyle followed with
appropriate remarks. Mrs. E. D..
Knight, president of the California
Federation and a native Nevadiar,
was the last speaker of the even
ing. She dwelt on the Federation in
relation to the "Open Door" Mrs.

The Birth of islands.

The first of the Bogoslof group Of
the Aleutian islands was born 100
years ago. There was a great
CONFUSION in the Bering sea, about
twenty-five miles north Of Unalaska,
and an island appeared above the sur
face of the stormy waters. This islet,
which rose to a height Of nearly 5000
feet above sea level, was christened
Bcgoslof by the Rnssians. who then
owned Alaska. 1t remained solitary and
alone until 1882, when another volcanic
eruption in the sea was followed by the
birth Of another island near the first.
For two years the new island was the
scene Of an active eruption. Then it
cooled gradually, and, like the first
islet, became the home Of seals and sea
lions and the breeding grounds for sea
birds. The third Of the Bogosiof group
was born ten years ago. The baby
was smaller than it's elder sister, be-
ing about third Of mile in diameter
and with an altitude of some 600 feet
but the following year another con-
vulsion of nature resulted in nearly
doubling its area. Since then seveTa!!
other islands have been born III var
ious parts of the Aleutian chain.

BRITISH FLEET UNDAUNTED.
Men Are in Splendid Fettle After Ter
rife Battle in the North So,

4 wen are IN SpiehoIoz : ette After Ter.
1 rifle Battle in the North Sea.
London, June 9.-"It Is tonic to visit
Beatty's battle cruiser feet from which
l have just returned" said a naval Of
/ ficer Of high rank today.
The officers and men are in splendid
fettle. Instead of feeling depressed
they are inclined to feel sorry for the
poor Germans. It is impossible to
speak too highly Of the officers and men
of our destroyers, who were simply
wonderful. They consistently held the
upper hand in the greatest battle ever
engaged in by these little war craft.
/ Spirit Of British High.
! Until we have Admiral Jellicoe's
full report it is out of the question for
me to give any more connected details
. of the battle than have been publ shed.
! But l can relate a few incidents and
give some impressions, which may
show something of the spirit OF our
men.
! The gallant commander of de-
stroyer is one of the most striking in
cldents of the action, which abounded
in extraordinary feats. This destroyer
| NTH in line. saw its, four file leaders
one by one, put out of action but kent
ahead without Swerving and got all its
torpedoes home. 1t then discovered a
great German battleship looming out OF
the mist so closely that when the enc
my fired his big guns their blasts blew
over the tunnels and masts of the little
warship. 1t escaped without further
d mage.
Saved by Miracle.
! Another marvellous escape of one Of
our destrOyers was discovered when a
stoker reported himself wounded. But
! as no shell had struck the ship the
commander declined TO believe the
man. He however. reported him
self again the next morning as a
casualty and showed the commander a
l2-inch unexploded projectile which
had dropped thru the hatchway into
the hold.
"A similar incident occurred aboard
! the battle cruiser Lion, where two
junior officers from the fighting top
saw an unexploded Finch projectile
| lying on the deck in some burning
debris. These officers ran to the fire
and eXtinguished 1t and threw the
projectile overheard.
4 was surprised on my. return here,
where l saw for the first time the Off
cial German admission Of casualties
and personnel, which show from the
numbers known TO have been engaged
that the losses Of German ships must
have been greater than our estimate.
Our officers admit that the German
gunnery was good. but not as destruc
tive as ours. At first the light was
much in their favor. but. towards the
end, our maneuvering changed this
The result was, in the general opinion
! Of the officers and men Of our ships,
which were engaged in the action. that
! the German fleet received such a
strafing that it is not likely to make
sea for six months"

An executive who Is an artist in
empty pronunciaments but an amateur
in effective performance, has advertised
to the world that we are too proud to
fight even in Just cause; and has
thereby incurred for us the contempt Of
all the self-respecting nations on the
globe. A congress which exists merely
to register his whimsical will when it
can be ascertained has refused to make
us ready to resent the insults which
our weakness invites and has thus
exposed us to affronts which daily hu-
initiate the American people. In Mexico,

MOOSE HALL SURE

Old Maids Convention Which will be Held at Moose Hall Tomorrow
 Night Talk of the Town.

Few events held in Valdez have created the interest which is being manifest in the Old Maids conven- ton which will be held in Moose Hall tomorrow evening, and it is safe to say that the storm which is raging today will have to increase consid- arably in violence to keep the hall from being crowded.
 The identity of the members of the Matrimonial club who will take part in the convention and offer them selves to the bachelors and widowers of Valdez has been kept secret and is the cause of much speculation or the part of those who come under the title of genus homo.
 Those who have witnessed the re- hearsals say that there is not poor number on the program and that it is guaranteed to produce merriment and keep the house in an uproar from the first to the last numbers.
 About thirty people are taking part in the show and the perform ance will begin promptly at o'clock. The admission price is only 50 cents.

HERD OF REINDEER
 BROUGHT FROM NORTH

A herd of three hundred reindeer were driven from Kotzebue Sound to Nome in December and according to the Nome Nugget the herders were compelled to camp outside during the entire time they were covering the three or four hundred mile jour- ney. The animals were in charge of John Bahr, a Laplander, who assist ed in bringing the. original herd to Alaska in 1898. Very cold weather was encountered on the trip, espe- cially in the Good Hope section where the mercury registered 55 be- low zero. The reindeer are report ed as showing no sign of the dis ease which manifested itself among them last winter. The animals which are not slaughtered for the market at Nome will be taken to Ruby and other mining camps to, supply the miners with fresh meat.

JOGGING ALONG.

While the .disgruntled and the Adullamites howl and rage in other sections of the land, mostly because howling about existing conditions is their chief stock in trade, this sec tion of Alaska goes merrily along, producing wealth from the mines, and developing a variety of other re- sources. Of course, the pessimist, the knocker, and the kicker are not unknown; nor will they have totally disappeared until the millennium is ushered in, and that time is so far away that none of us are vitally in- terested in it. There is opportunity. However, to hurry along it's advent by making the proper use of our time and energies.
 Life ain't in holding good hand, but in playing a poor hand we'll. said a desert philosopher; and if each Alaskan were to play the hand dealt him to the best of his ability, there would be notable decrease in the pessimistic ranks. The trouble Is that few will do it.. They are too much engrossed in wondering what the other fellows hand is iiKe, or what he may have up his sleeve, and 30 they disqualify themselves from making the most points out of their own hands. The man who~eucceeds in any walk of life is not necessarily
