Music Study Club of Americus.

In December of 1915, the Music Study
club of Americas was organized. 1t
was the first federated club of the city,
fr fact, was federated almost before
its organization. 1t had its birth in
the hearts of many women who had
caught the vision of genuine music's
beauty, and who wished to instill into
the hearts of the people great love for
good music. The Music club is their
dream, realized. 1t has a splendid
membership of active, music-filled'
music-loving women.
During 1916, ancient and medieval
music, to the time of Handel, was stu
did, then opera was taken up and
studded in connection with the lives of
opera composers and their other
works. At the beginning Of the new
year it was decided that the club take
uu the study of the operas to be sung
in Atlanta, this spring. To pave the
spring meeting was taken up in a re-
view Of the birth of opera the three
schools of music in Venice, Naples and
Rome, the difference between Opera
Seria (grand opera) and Opera Buffa

study of the life of the composer Is

gathered at the meeting, that the club
decided to 60 almost in body for at
least one day during the convention.
The new plan is to make the club a

FLLAVILLE WOMAN'S CLUB
JOINS THE FEDERATION

On Thursday afternoon, April 5th,
the Woman's Club of Ellaville met at
the home of Mrs. John Cheney, having
as their guests on that occasion Mrs.
J. e. Heys, Vice President at large of
the state Federation, Mrs. John B..
Query and Mrs. Perry, Of Montezuma,
At this meeting club work generally.
and federation work in particular were
discussed and Mrs. Hayes explained to
the members many things in regard to
joining the federation which they de-
sired to know--the advantages to be
derived from decorating on the part Of
the clubs and the advantag and
strength they would add to the Fedora
ton.
While the Woman's Club of Ellaville
is young, the members are endeavor-
ing to make of Ellaville more san
itary, beautiful town, as we'll as one
noted for civic righteousness. and
they feel that their utilization with the
Federation will help them in many
ways to go forward in the work which
they are so anxious to do.
So ripe was the time that delegates
were immediately elected to attend the

MID-BIENNIAL COUNCIL OF CLUB
WOMEN IN NEW ORLEANS

The interest of the club women OF
the country now centers in the mid
biennial council to be held at New
Orleans, April 1912. Women from all
parts of the nation will be there and
ell questions vital to club life will be
discussed.
Georgia has high place in the
General Federation, and was one of
the first to pay her part, $4,000, to the
permanent endowment fund. Those
who attend this council, where the
most intellectual women OF the world
gather, will learn a great deal to help
and inspire them in their club work.
Mrs. 2. |. Fitzpatrick of Thomasville,
one of the directors, also a member of
the membership committee, has invit-
ed all Georgia club women to go with
her, and get the benefit of this council.
The Grunewald hotel, one of the
most beautiful hotels in the country,
will be the headquarters, while historic
French Opera House will be the place
of the general meetings. In these try
ing times there is much that the wo-
men of the country can do, and the
meeting of the council in New Orleans
will doubtless go on record as one of
the most important ever held.

There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise;

And when he saw that paper gone.
With all his might and main,
He jumped into the street.-the did

MRS. MOORE'S REPORT AT
STATE CONVENTION IN MACON

Mrs. Jere Moore, of Montezuma,
President of the Third District, read
the following report at the State Con-
vention In Macon last fall, which gives
clear idea of the work being done by
the women in the District, and of
which we have every right to feel
proud;
1 believe it no exaggeration to say
that, as a District, we have just COM
pleted the most successful year in our
history. For several years we have
held annually our District Conventions
and agricultural rallies. By this
means our women have been brought
together often, have learned to know
and love their fellow club women in
neighboring towns. A beautiful CO.
operative spirit has resulted. and at
tie recent State Convention the Third
District was so we'll represented that
we felt that we had little convention
all our own.
Limited to three hundred words,
can not discuss our work in detail,
but will try in. general way to give
some idea of the scope of our activ-
tiles.
During the Club year we federated
six new clubs-the Ashburn Parent
Teacher Association, the Marshallville
Womans Club, the Americas Woman's
Club, and I believe we lead the State
in the organization of music clubs,
having federated three-the Americas
Musical Club, the Montezuma Music
Lovers Club, and the Cordele Sym
phony Club.
These music clubs bring artists of
note to their communities, encourage
local artists, and have beautifying
and uplifting influence which cannot
be too highly commended.
Most of the Clubs have various de-
partments, and thus touch every phase
OF community life. Probably more
stress is laid on the Department of
Education and Civics than any other.
We have a total of six Carnegie Libr-
aries in the District, the sixth having
been obtained during the year by Cuth-
bert. The Cuthbert Woman's Club, at
a cost of $t,50O,0O donated lot for
the library. Several circulating libr-
aries are supported by the Clubs, and
special attention is paid to rural
schools.
The Civic Improvement Clubs and
Civic Departments of the Women's
Clubs do a great work. Cleanup Week
and Arbor Day are observed by prac-
tically all the Clubs, and with notice
able results, Fairgrounds and parks
are receiving more attention each
year, Red Cross seals are sold, boxes
sent to the Belgians, old veterans sup
ported; in fact. there is no element in
our midst which does not feel in some
way the influence of our Club women.
Our Clubs, though not so numerous
are in some of the more populous Dis
tricts are progressive and wide-awake
which is shown by the fact that they
handled during the year $4,603.72, and
who can estimate the moral value of
their labor?

The vicissitudes of war are to be expected; but the recent vic tory of the Austro-G Germans over the Italians was a most unWel- come event to the allies. 30,000 Italians are said to have been captured by the enemy. Such occurrences, however, may be expected, and while they will have no effect on the ultimate determination of the war, they will necessarily prolong the great conflict. While Italy's loss IS SC were, 1t by no means proves that Italy is done for. Italy will come aga.n.

Early in our career as a news. paper-man we were foolish enough to believe that all fool editors belonged to that class known as country editors; but the riper years of age and a large field of experience has most thoroughly convinced us that for the downright fool, who writes much and knows little, the "kultur-cult" editor of Ger many takes the 'blue-ribbon" as being the biggest fool extant The Deutcher Kurier, published in Berlin, has the following to say in a recent issue of that journal:
 Wanted -s3,ooo,Oo0,o0O year ly."
 Unless Germany can force the ali es to pay her this annual contribution after the war she will be absolutely ruined" the newspaper says. This is the az greg lte sum Germany needs to pay her war bill for a long string of years. This is about four times Gerrnany's general budget before the war. Who is going to pay?
 "If 1t must be Germany, the nations finances m1st be crip- pied for centuries, and every German, irrespective of class, will be forced to work exclusive. ly for the state for unaccounta. ble years, and Germany will be reduced to a nation of slaves. Ii is unthinkable that Germany will be content to end the war with. out imposing such indemnities on the allies as will yield this amount in annual interest"
 While the above, from the Ger man publica io', is a piece ot high-sounding, bombastic non. sense, nevertheless 1t will give the American people some idea of the infamous designs of the Kaisers' country should it sue. cee1 in the WIT. The domina. ton of Germany, after the war, shoIli 1t be victorious, would bankrupt every allied nation and d estroy civil liberty throughout the world. It would be a catas. trophe unthinkable "a calamity u1oearable. But. thanks to the heroes of the world and the en- iyhteanent of the people, no such thing will ever happen.
