Announcements For Meeting
The Woman's and Sorosis clubs Of
Las Vegas wish Ito extend a cordial
invitation to all club women Of the
state to be their guests during the
convention. Committees will meet the
delegates and visitors at the train and
request that all club women wear
their club badges or knots of yellow
and white ribbons so that they may
be easily identified. All who possibly
can do so are urged to arrive in Las
Vegas on Tuesday, October 8, on the
coming from the north at 1:l0 p.
m. and from the south at 1875 p. M
as this will give plenty Of time for
delegates to present credentials and
be registered before the first session
of the convention.
All clubs. are urged to elect their
full quota of delegates at once, and
the secretaries should send imme-
diately the number and names Of dele-
gates and alternates to the chairman

Railroad Rates
The Santa Fe and New Mexico Cen
trail railroads have made us an open
rate this year of one and ~onethird
This is a great Improvement
over the certificate plan, as it enables
any one who wishes to do SO to take
advantage Of the rate, and is much
more convenient for the members OF
The federation. Practically all of the
other railroads have assured us Of a
Dne and one-third rate on the c%ertifi-
sate plan-as did the Santa Fe at
lirst, but they will no doubt, grant the
open rate when they learn of the later
action of this road. The dates secur-
I'd are also more favorable than those
SECURED heretofore. the selling dates
extending from September S0th to- Oc-
4th. with a final return limit Of
October 9Th.
Delegates should ask their local
ticket agent about rates several days
the meeting, and IL he has not
received notice of the rates granted,
he should be requested to wire his
passenger agent for instruc-
ions. II. for any reason, delegates
ire unable to secure the rates, they
take receipts for the amounts
paid, and report the matter to the sec
-etary Of the state federation for re-
adjustment I
