Program of Interest
For f Federation Meet

annual convention OF the North Da-
kota Federation of Women's clubs,
which meets at Dickinson october j
to s, inclusive, are practically COM
pleted, and in q few days the program
will be published. The keynote Of
the convention this year is patriotic
service. Speakers have been secured
who will bring vital messages to the
women of the state, n indications
point to an inspiring convention.
One Of the big features of the pro-
gram will be the lecture by Miss Lutte
E. Stearns of Milwaukee, Wis. Miss
Stearns is one of the most magnetic
speakers on the lecture platform to-
day. An eastern woman by birth, she
has spent the greater part Of her life
in the middle west, where she has al
ways been prominent in educational
work. After her address at the Chi
cago biennial on THE Woman on the
Farm" at the solicitation of many
club ome she entered the lecture
field, to which she now devotes her
entire time. She has a splendid grasp
Of the social, Industrial and economic
tendencies of the day, and is a dis
tinct acquisition to my program.
When Miss Stearns d~iscourses on
books and libraries, she talks IN a
subject which she knows. For eight
years she was superintendent of the
circulating department Of the Milwau-
kee public library, and for seventeen
years she was a member of the Wis
consin free library commission Her
attack or obscene and sensual books
is described as "a hit from the
! shoulder" Miss Stearns, in addition
to her lecture, will address the con-
vention on the Boy and Girl Problem.
Dickinson will give the delegates
and visitors to the convention an OPP
portunity to see the Bad Lands. The
present plan is to make the trip by
automobile, and serve a picnic lunch
at n of the big ranches. An effort
ia being made to have Dean Babcock
CT the university give an informal talk
on the geological formation Of the Bad
Lands.
The endowment fund concert is In
charge Of a competent local commit
tee. Musical talent from Fargo, Man
dan and other towns in the western
part of the state has been ecured.
This, with what Dickinson a fur
nish. assures the convention of a Gull
tural program. Mrs. v. T. Creswell
Of Valley City and Norman Black of
Fargo will sing, and Mrs. O.. w. Nc
Clusky of Darlington will read.
Another interesting number of the
program is an address on
n Red Cross Spirit, by Mrs. N. C..
1oung OF Fargo. Her address will be
followed by an exhibit of garments.
maze according to h latest approved
standards. A questionable will afford
an opportunity for discussion.
