ton county women.
A booster meeting will be held in
the council chamber of the city hall
at 130 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
April 27, at which time Miss Florence
Watkins, graduate of the domestic
science department of the Iowa State
college, will be present to assist in
completing the organization. Miss
Watkins will come to Webster City
early this week for the purpose OF
meeting women who have been active
in securing the bureau for this county,
preliminary to the meeting a week
from Saturday.
1t is earnestly desired that every
woman in the county should be present
at the final organization meeting.
During the membership campaign, a
sufficient number of Hamilton county
women signed membership cards to
assure the organization here. But the
bureau service is of value to every
woman, and especially to homemakers.
For this reason every housewife
should make AM effort to attend the
meeting and lend her individual sup
port to Reinforcement.
Government Pays Salary.
The government thinks so highly of
the work of the Home Demonstration
Bureau that it will pay the salary Of
a home demonstration in every county
in Iowa and other states. Already
fully third of IoWa's counties have
organized and appointed home de-
monstrator, which in every case has
proved of the greatest benefit to wo-
men. The home demonstration is an
authority on food and household
affairs, as the county agent is an
authority on farm matters, occupying
the same position toward the women
of the county that the farm agent
holds among farmers.
While campaign for members has
not yet been undertaken in Webster
City, it will be launched following Sat-
urday's meeting. Members enrolled
