A good per cent Of the eight rnou-
sand club women In Oklahoma are
preparing for the biennial convention
to be held November 6 to 8 In Wood
| ward. While the program for this
| convention has not been completed. II
is likely that It will be given over al
| most entirely to the consideration OF
war measures and activities. for club
women are fast relinquishing their
usual interests for the more serious
things OF the day. Food conservation,
registration for war work. plans for
home and foreign relief and public
health conservation measures wiii
doubtless occupy prominent places On
the three days program. In fact.

done unless the women are alive to
the needs of the schools and see that
they are supplied.
