OFFICIAL CLUB NOTES.
Nevada Federation.

The following notes VIII be the
last ones of the season, as the various
clubs are closing up their work for
we'll deserved vacation.
At this particular time it is well to
call the attention of the clubs and OF
the public at large to the needs OF
the Student Loan Fund and the in
creased demands that have been made
upon it since we entered the war
Since the Federation meeting held III
| Goldheld rs students have received
assistance from the Fund To these
students $400900 has been loaned and
of the amount $155700 has been paid
back, leaving balance due of SZ4oZ.

TO the fund and that money cannot

Many girls have been obliged to
seek aid because brothers who had
been helping them through school
have been drafted Again, the allows

President Wilson and Secretary OF
War Baker both sent out urgent APP

great importance as war measure.
1t is up to the clubs and to the peo-
pie at large to do all in their power to
enlarge the fund so that every boy
and girl who is anxious to complete
his or her education may be assured
of sufficient funds for that purpose.

OF the Student Loan, has now taken

suggested for future study and action

Attention was called to the unfortu-
nate conditions that work to the dis
advantage OF the rural schools. Many
