OFFICIAL CLUB NOTES NEVADA
FEDERATION Of WOMAN'S CLUBS
BY Clara NJ. Cr.sler, Carson City, Nev- Press Chairman

also had two very successful must
cal teas lately.
At the last March meeting of the
Twentieth Century club of Reno,
Mrs. Hugh Brown of Tonopah talk
ed on the "Fatherless Children of
France" Mrs. Browns plea for
the children of France was touch
ing indeed. Three dollars will
feed a child for a month and keep
it with its mother. The society
asks the patrons to care for a child
for two years. The money is sent
to Mrs. Hugh Brown, Of Tonopah,
in lum sum or in installments. A
club of ONE may support child
or donations of any sum be given
as all helps. Seventy-two thousand
children are being cared for by the
United States. There are 200, 900
children = needy children - whose
fathers have been killed in the war.
1t is a most worthy cause and a
beautiful charity. After Mrs.
Browns talk an afternoon of Irish
music was enjoyed. Mrs. Wagner
read a paper on "The Music of Ire
land" Two piano selections of
Irish folk songs were given by Mrs.
Wagner, followed by two vocal solos
accompanied by the harp. Miss
Gulling sank two Irish melodies
and the very interesting and enjoy
able program closed with two Irish
folk dances.
The Woman's Literary club of
Hawthorne met with Mrs. Pache,
March 16. The order of the even
ing was the study of the First
Colonial Period of American Litera-
ture." Mrs. Mccarthy gave a talk
on the manners and customs of the
period which was intensely interest
ing and enjoyed by all. Mrs. Gal
lagher followed with a comparison
of the two types of colonies, their
environment. purposes of settle
ment, and the effect of the same on
the literature hat followed. Mrs.
Pache reviewed the lives and work
of Michael Wigglesworth and Anne
Brandstreet, and read a selection
from "The Book of DOOM" Mrs.
Ferretti read a short poem by Anne
Brandstreet and Mrs. Symmetrical
read al interesting paper on the
life of Cotton Mather. This pro-
perly belonged to the next period,
but the club wished to spend the
next time on the study of Johnathan
Edwards and Benjamin Franklin's
lives and work. The hostess then
served dainty refreshments after
which the meeting adjourned.

w. S. Dayton, who has been serv-
ing the town of Elko as a deputy
constable, has been discharged from
the force. The ground for his re-
moval, according to Constable CO.
tant, is that he made statements
against the United States and favor
ing German. This Dayton empha-
tically denied, but the evidence is
said to have been so strong that
there was no alternative left but
to discharge him.

demie of measles there. Fifteen

- The first March meeting of the
Elko Draper club was held at the
home of Mrs. Harry l.. Bruce. The
attendance was large and an un-
usually interesting meeting was
held. A new member was added
to the roll which makes the fifth
since the first of the year. The
civic committee is planning a pro-
gram for Baby Week" which comes
in May, and this promises to be
a feature of especial interest to
the entire town. A are treat is in
store for the club members and
their friends in the near future.
Prof. Geo. Jensen of the Elko high
school will give a series of lectures
for them. The current events given
for roll call were the very latest
and Mrs. Cantwell's paper on "a
Tour Along the Western Coast of
South America" took all who lis
tened to it in many interesting
places, giving them glimpses of that
wonderful country. This was fol-
lowed with discussion in detail on
the subject, by different members.
Refreshments were served after the
meeting.
The last March meeting of this
club was held with Mrs. E. e.
Game. The attendance was large
and instead of the usual current
events-just to vary the program
the roll call was answered with
short talks on my Pet Economy"
This caused much merriment as
well as giving some good practical
hints. The civic committee re-
ported that the program for "Baby
Week" was progressing. The pro-
gram committee distributed the
programs for the present half year
and these show much time and
thought. They are neat little book
let's, the cover being decorated
with an artistic design displaying
the red carnation, the club flower.
The second of the series of lectures
being given by Professor Jensen
was arranged for at this meeting.
The title will be Macbeth" Mrs.
Lathrop's paper on the Country
Bolivia was most interesting and
instructive, while Mrs. Hurley's
paper told of "The Women of South
America and How They Live" in
a most able Refreshments
were served and the club adjourned.
At the last regular meeting of the
Ely Woman's club, reports were
given by the committee and discus
~ions were in order on the moving
IND refitting of the library. Ar
rangements were made for a flower
sale to be given with booths at
Ely and McGill. The following
program was given: Reading, Mrs.
Strong; piano solo, Mrs. Barron;
current events, Miss Laura Gala
CHER; resume of the laws passed by
