records Of the federation were kept
our corresponding secretary, Mrs. Fa-
vile. Only fifteen extra year books
were saved by being in Mrs. Faville's
home. Many extra copies will be
needed duSng this club year, and it is
not feasible 20 have a new edition pub
lished. 1t will be a very great favor
to Mrs. faville n to the federation if
small clubs will donate for our use
one OF the two copies which they own.
Send them to Mrs. F. F. Faville, Storm
Lake.
Is you county like Montgomery in
having received only very recently it's
apportionment for the Y. w. fund?
The sum asked for is SO small in pro-
portion to other requests that we may
be in danger of regarding it as OF
small importance. But it is Of great
moment, and it partakes of the nature
Of food conservation in it's direct ap-
peal to women. Establishing hostess
houses which are called "a bit of home
within the camp" Is a part of the Y.
w. plan. We surely all know about
them. The Sorosis club Of Mason City
has just given 500 for the fund. Spe-
cial gifts for our own hostess house at
Camp Dodge may be sent to Miss Har-
riet Plummer, 635 Forty-first street,
Des MONIES. Miss Seyle of the Des
Moines Y. w. says gifts OF this kind
may be applied toward the %apportion-
ment of the community from which it
comes.
Mrs. Thomas d. Healy, Fort Dodge,
chairman of the subcommittee on
housing reports some very good news
for her committee and the federation
Miss Mary S~tuckslager, Of Lisbon has
accepted the Office Of secretary for the
committee. Miss Stuckslager is a
talented young woman just out of Vas
sar. She was president Of the student
body at college. Iowa women deeply
appreciate the help given by college
young women.
1t is OF interest to Iowa that in the
only "~camouflage outfit Of Uncle Sam
our state is represented by Mr.. Sher
ry Fry of Creston. Mr.. Fry is a Prix
de Rome man. He designed the Ma
Easka statue which was presented to
Oskaloosa.
The letters from committee chair.
men to clubs will soon be issued in
the form Of a small paper. Commit
tee chairmen have aimed to give df-
mite form to their suggestions SO that
clubs may follow them. 1t is very
much desired that all club members
will see this paper, and will preserve
it. for reference.
