Mrs. p. B. Ellis OF Carson City,
President of the State celebration,
returned on May from the General
Federation Council held in New Or
leans. On the return trip she visited
the clubs in Elko, Lovclock and Fal-
lon She reports a glorious time was
given to- all those who were fortunate
enough to attend the Council, and
many subjects of vital importance to
the country at the present time wcre
discussed and active practical plans
made to cooperate with the govern
ment and the Red Cross. The CON
ference OF presidents and departrlen
chairmen was especialyy interesting
and instructive, and Mrs. Ellis in
tends TO write a letter to each club
she has not yet visited giving her inn
pressions of the council meeting
She states that the Elko Draper Club
is doing some wonderful work. The
members are especially interested in
the industrial school and all that per
tains to it. They have hlso done
splendid work in Red Cross organiza-
ton The Iovelock club is especially
interested in civic work and has ac
complished much toward the civic inn
provement of the community. They
are also very enthusiastic and patri-
otic. The Fallon Gibbs are also do
ing splendid work. and have planted
many trees along the highway. Like
the other clubs, they are fathering
patriotic movements, and the Arlene

federation. is fitting up rest room
in their attractive club house.
AT the last regular meeting OF the
talk was given by District Attorney
Whitelcy on the duties OF his Office
as well as those of justice of the peace
sheriff and constable. 1t is Just such
talks as these that are bringing the
members OF the club to better under
stand the governmental methods OF
towns. counties and states The value
OF these talks is hard to estimate. as
they are not only educational, but are
instructive in that which is most essen
tial to a good citizen. After the fol
lowing program adjournment was Ia

violin solo, Dana Rambaugh.
Mrs. i. J. Cavanaugh and Mrs. Roy

opened the program with music on
her guitar, and Mrs. Davenport gave
very interesting review OF the hrst

then played on the phonograph. Mrs
Davenport gave an instructive dem

occupied considerable time. A paper
written by Mrs. c. A. Stephenson

to that trade few people have. Light
refreshments were served at the close
of the meeting. The last April meet
