The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-05-19

Week campaign carried on by the
various clubs of the state. 1t is
hoped that every club hat cele-
brated this week will report the
work accomplished along this line
in time. Chairmen of departments
affected are also asked to report.
Mrs. p. b. Ellis of Carson City,
president of the State Federation,
returned on May . from the Cen
eral Federation council held in New
Orleans. On the return trip she
visited the clubs in Elko, Lovelock,
and Fallon. She reports a glorious
time was given to all those who
we're fortunate enough to attend the
council and many subjects of vital
Importance to the country at the
present time were discussed and
active and practical plans made to
cooperate with the government and
the Red Cross. The conference of
presidents and department chair
men were especially interesting and
instructive and Mrs. Ellis intends
to write a letter to each club she
has not yet visited giving her i'm
pressions of the council meeting.
She was very much pleased with
the cordial welcome of the clubs
she visited on her return to the
state. She states that the Elko
Draper club is doing some wonder
full work. The members are es-
pecially interested in the industrial
school and all that pertains to it.
They have also done splendid work
in Red Cross organization. The
Lovelock club is especially inter-
ested in civic work and has ac-
complished much toward the civic
improvement of the community.
They are also very enthusiastic and
patriotic. The Fallon clubs are also
doing splendid work and have plant
ed many trees along the highway.
Like the other clubs they are father
ing patriotic movements, and the
Artemesia club the youngest men,
of the Federation is fitting up a
rest room in their attractive club
house.
At the last regular meeting of
the Ely Woman's club an interest
ing talk was given by District At
torney Whitley on the duties of
his office as we'll as those of JUS
tice of the peace, sheriff and con-
stable. 1t is just such talks as
these that are bringing the mem
bers of the club to better under
stand the governmental methods
of towns, counties and states. The
value of these talks is hard to es-
innate as they are not only educa-
tional but are instructive in thai
which is most essential to a good
citizen. After the following pro-
gram adjournment was taken Piano
solo, Miss Cora Bloom; violin solo,
Dana ~Rumbaugh.
Mrs. F. J.. Cavanaugh and Mrs.
Roy Davenport entertained the To-
nopah Woman's club last month at
a very enjoyable affair. Mrs.
Cavanaugh opened the program with
music on her guitar, and Mrs.
Davenport gave a very interesting
review of the first chapter of "Wo-
man and Labor" New music, the
composition of which had been in
spired by the war, Vas then played
on the monograph. Mrs. Daven-
port gave an instructive demonstra-
ton of making timble cases. The
hostess then introduced a contest
to see who knew the most facts of
Washington's life and Mrs. f. V.
Dodge won the prize. In compli-
ance with the request of the ma
tional federation of women's clubs,
that the flag be displayed at all
meetings of the federation clubs,
an immense flag was draped at n
end of the room, and the program
was closed with the reading of the
poem 1.-THE American Flag by Rod
man Drake. Dainty refreshments
were served.
The Elko Draper club held It's
fi,et April meeting at the residence
of Mrs. II. l.. Bruce. Mrs. H. u.
Castle was hostess for the after
noon. After some real live" cur
rent events in response to roll call,
the business for the day occupied
considerable time. A paper writ
ten by Mrs. c.. A. Stephenson, tell
ing of the wonderful "Emeralds of
South America" was read and Mrs.
Castles paper on the Coffee In
dustry of South America" gave an
insight to hat trade few people
have. Light refreshments were ser
we'd at the close Of the meeting.
The last April meeting was held at
the home of Mrs. Chas. Cantwell,
president of the club. At his time
