Mrs. J. w. Howell, the new Circle
Leader for the next year, presided.
Mrs. Walter Adams was leader for
November, and much praise was given
her for the excellent program she had
arranged.
The Devotional was given by Miss
Martha Sullinger in a beautiful and
impressive talk, her text chosen from
the Goth and 91st, Psalms: "Estab-
lished Thou the Work of our Hands
Upon us; yea, the work of our Hands,
Establish Thou it," and "He that
dwelleth in the secret place of the
Most High shall abide under the
shaved Of the Almighty" Miss SUI
linger is at all times a most interest
ing speaker and her discourse was
an inspiration to all present.
A duet by RMS. Ross Wagner and
Mrs. Shannon entitled Drifting" was
we'll rendered. A reading by Mrs.
May McAllister was enjoyed by every
one. Mrs. Adams sketch of the life
of Abraham showed careful thought,
and her talk was excellent.
Mrs. Howell expressed her appre-
citation of the large attendance. This,
the first meeting of the Circle under
her leadership, taking it as an indica-
tor that it meant a growing interest
in the work of the Circle, and an ex-
preston of the loyalty of the men,
bers to the new officers.
Prayer was offered by Mrs. L. E.
Worner, after which the usual bus
mess meeting was held; the Circle
then adjourned for a social hour. The

Federated Club Mites.

The Federation of Women's Clubs
met at the public library Monday,
November Is. After the minutes of
he past meeting had been read, and
treasurer's report had been made, the
following motions were made: that
$25 be given the social service this
year and that So be given to the en-
dowment fund. Mrs. Charles Leeper
who reported for the social service,
said that there was a great need of
clothing for children and that any Of
the clubs might help the social SER
vice committee by contributing cloth
ing cut down to fit the children.
After the reports, Miss Anne Lewis
t2oE charge Of the meeting for conser-
walton which Mrs. c. F. Clark had
planned. Miss Lewis made a most
novel and striking comparison when
she compared the present state or
new Acknowledgement of women to a
new broom, which, if well made and
we'll bound together, will work ex-
ccedingly well and she made a plea
for just such a state to exist among
the women.
Mrs. W. w. Johnson, who had the
first talk, which was Conservation in
Business" took farming as a business
and showed what a wonderful bus
mess it is right here in Missouri.
Miss Edna Lindsey, instructor in
teachers training at Mcmillan High
School, read a splendid paper on the
Conservation Of Education" She
told of the ways OF conservation
which could be about by a betterment
Of present school conditions, even in
Mexico.
Mrs. w. W. Bolts spoke of the
Conservation of Missouri's Finan-
ces." She spoke of the budget sys-
tenn which has been suggested to con-
serve finance but declared that the
present constitution is a handicap to
any system of conservation. How
ever, the institutions over the state
for our unfortunates are very well
taken care of, and some Of the places
have become self-supporting. Thus,
they are helping in the plan.
The subject of the Strangers With
in Our Gates" was we'll handled by
Mrs. Leeper. She told of the army
of 100000 immigrants of every nat
ionality that marches through our
gates every month. The bureau of
Immigration distribution has been re-
Gently opened and will try to induce
the people to move inland to the ag-
riculture ard mining sections.
Mrs. j. W. Million suggested several
valuable means by which club women
could boost Missouri. Missouri's motto
should be, she said, "the welfare OF
the people is to be the supreme law
Of women"
This concluded the program for the
afternoon, and the meeting was then
adjourned.

Des Moines. May 11.--Attorney
General H. NJ. Havner will issue an
opinion in q few days to the effect
hat women win have a right to sit
n the state convention at Des
,Moines as delegates from their re-
i,pective counties. According to this
Interpretation Of the Iowa statutes
The county conventions win therefore
nave a right to name women on their
delegations to the state convention.
It IL not stated in advance OF the
opinion on what law or laws It is
based. No new laws have been
PASSED by recent sessions OF the leg
stature touching on this question
ef delegations to the county or state
conventions.
The law passed by the Thirty
eighth general assembly gave the
women the right to vote for presi-
dent and vice president Of the I'm
tied States or presidential electors
and has besn interpreted by the
governor. the attorney general and
other state officials as giving the
same rights to women 20 far a.
electing president and vice presi-
dent are concerned ~ are enjoyed
by men. However. this law does not
apply to voting by women other than
for president and vice president.
II the republican govsrnorship

ton. a. IL now generally predicted.
and women delegates would have Q
part In the convention. It 10 gener-

believed that the republican national
