ZION will receive a copy.
Aside from the time of these state
o,ficers, it costs our organization in
money more than any other item.
why are we willing to make this
yearly expenditure? What does the
hook contain that makes this appro-
ar,otion worth while or advisable?
washington State Federation has
membership of over Il 900 women,
rapresenting 1876 clubs, two district,
two county, and five city declarations.
Our club women are earnest-they
are practical-they believe I'm union
there is strength" and the impelling
motive which has thus united them,
ia realization that life's highest aim
il toward the accomplishment of
those things that will benefit human
;ty-that will develop a vision, for
the beautiful, the sanitary, the right
eois-the duties of womanhood, her
obligations and her privileges. Our
members come from every walk OF
life and find within our federation
inspiration for exercising their espec-
ial capabilities and talents for the
fulfilIment of worth while ideals-a
means for broadening their horizons,
and for determining their peculiar
missions in the development of their
communities. The Year Book was
prim arily designed for the club
directory. To meet requirements
from time to time it has been en-
larged. On account of an increas-
ingly closer application it now con-
tains General Federation section
which includes their official direct
DRY, list of chairmen of depart
ments of work, address of the reci-
procity bureau and a message from
the General Federation president.
The state section contains the lists
of officers and standing committees,
the club directory, the endowment
funds and honor roll, the full pro-
ceedings of the annual convention,
the presidents message, reports OF
the years work by officers and com
mittee chairmen, a page for the
club presidents, recon mendations
and resolutions, articles of incorpora-
ton and bylaws.
We believe as thoroughly as any
advertiser or candidate for office
in the value of publicity, therefore,
that our work in all of its s de-
partments, may advance, we beg OF
the club members to read the Year
Book, that they may know what we
are doing and our methods of accom-
plishing the things we desire. Be-
tween the lines you may read of I'M
firing energy, unselfishness, devo4
ton, and of love for the work.
1t is~our policy to publish enough
books only for those whom we have
named. However, if our members
knew the demand we have from out
slders for extra copies, it may be
their interest in the little green and
white volume would increase. Our
book is simply adorned by the state
seal, the clover blossom, and the EN-
Diem of our federation-the four-leat
clover, in appreciation of which Mrs.
hlgginson has written our federation
song
l know place where the sun is like
gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with
snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest
nook
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for hope. and one is for
faith,
And one is for love, you know,
And God put another one in for
luck
II you search, you will find where
they grow.
but you must have hope, and you
must have faith,
You must love and be strong,
and so,
II you work, If you wait, you will
find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
