man of the State Endowmen tunt
was read at the Reciprocity Day II
Yerington. Like every organized un-
dertaking of State and Nation wide
scope, our State Federation, in order
to attain its high aims, must have
additional financial resources. The
dues of our Federation have always
been small as they always must be, in
such an organization. We all know
come, and we appreciate the comfort
i. brings. Therefor al cur last CO..
vtr ton, held at y .ri.,gton Nevada,
we resolved to put our State Fedora
ton on more permanent basis,
through the creation of the Endow-
ment fund.
There being so many demands for
money, we have to set our goal at
| ten or even FIVE thousand dollars,
but we hope to add generously tn the
$4,000 donated by the Arts and
Crafts Committee, of which Mrs. F.
O. Norton is chairman and to whom
we are very thankful. We should
like to raise $4,000 a year to this
fund, and it has been suggested that
every club lady pledge herself to earn
10 cents per month, or dollar per
year, and then when she has earned
it, to have a social afternoon, and
tell in ryme how she earned it.
With the little sum growing from
year to year, wisely invested or in
terest, we would be able to broaden
our horizon, and maintain proper
standards of work. 1t means that
noted speakers could be brought 10
address us at our annual meetings,
and many good and helpful things.
No defenite plan has been decided
upon, as to just how this sum will be
disbursed according to the Budget
System: each department keeps an
account of every expense, and will
know to penny just what it costs
that department year, and they will
be entitled to a certain per cent OF
the income of the Federation.
The Nevada first trade at home at
exhibition held at the Twentieth
Century Club at Reno, proved a great
success. The exhibit was free to the
public, and each exhibitor had a
demonstrator present to explain the
various exhibits. The exhibit was
not only for Nevada products but for
all business houses as well. Its main
object was to place before the pub
lie the various kinds of merchandise
that could be purchased in the city,
and thus to encourage all residents
to trade at home, where their money
is made. The civic section of the
Club also fttingly celebrated Arbor
Day with appropriate exercises. and
tree planting in the Club Yard. The |
exhibit closed with a fashion show,
which was in the form of wheel
of fashion, showing all changes in
fashion since the days of 1860. Mrs. |
F. o. Norton, chairman of the Arts |
Crafts Clubs Department of the Fed
Grafton had charge of the show,
which was declared huge success.
