 Land of mine. land of mine.
 Rivers new and forests old
 Field and flowers and clouds all gold 1 Grand old. dear old Arizona
 Land of mine, land of mine Grand old, dear old Arizona
 Land of mine. Land of sunshine, pure and golden
 Land of mine, land of mine Cities new and ruins olden
 Land of mine, land of mine.
 Far flung hills and mountains steep
 Deserts wide and canyons deep You're a land of mystic beauty
 Land of mine, land of mine Grand old. dear old Arizona
 Land of mine.
 Young again, yet old in story
 Land of mine, land of mine Tales of heroes lend you glory
 Land of mine, land of mine.
 We would build anew like thee
 Deep and rich and broad and free Grand old. dear old Arizona
 Land of mine, land of mine Grand young, dear young Arizona
 Land of mine.
 Mrs. Lockett as a song writer was only one of her many contributions to the program, chief of which was the presidents address, which follows in full:
 The Presidents Address
 A present>day statesman of note says he is convinced that there is one road to immortality for public speakers, generally overlooked-that of brevity.
 I aspire to renown in that direction, not only on principle, but because 1 know our valuable time is to be filled with good things today.
 We are told that the president of the United States. when asked re- gently how much time he required for the preparation of an address, replied, If expected to talk fifteen minutes should like possibly a day or so for thought; for an address of thirty min utes. two or three hours would suffice for preparation, and were I expected to talk for a couple of hours, that could be done extemporaneously." You will, accordingly find no extravaganza in the statement that because I have determined to use but few minutes for what 1 have to say--I have been thinking about it all summer.
 Five things have insistently sug- gested themselves to me as worthy of our consideration at the beginning of this new club year. First. an appre- ciation; second, a thought upon eco homie reconstruction and thrift: third, citizenship: fourth. educational reform as touching the teachers wage; and fifth, bill boards.
 An Appreciation First then, I deeply desire that we, together with all other worthy organ izations of women. shall, as an organ ization and as individuals. hold in sim cere and appreciative remembrance ! the already answered prayers oi Amercan womanhood on behalf of na- tional prohibition and equal suffrage Some one has said that the saddes' thing about the great world war i: that we have already forgotten it- dwelling upon the fact that noble and | heroic sacrifice for a great good toS soon grows dim in the human mind ana 1 heart. Tn the hearts of many of u' | this can never be, nor shall we forge | the years of faithful labor-the dis couragements and struggles of thos' noble women who have been pioneer in these great national reforms. Ie us not fail to appreciate, to uphold ant to follow up, the splendid achieve ments for which some of our mother almost bled and died-mine did liter ally. hold that we should regard woman who does not care to vote as weak sister who should be helped t
  bootlegger as the most offensive jok ' in the catalogue.
 Second-Economics, When is tn panic coming? Have we anything { f do with it? Some of the best author ities in the United States believe tha 5 1t need come not at all. that it wi disappear like a mirage at the bend ( r the road ahead. if we sit tight and re fuse to increase the difficulties of oJ ! An4~s t.. efforts to keep the family chaise froi upsetting-thrift and economy are tf ( ballast. a Economy Essential e If the same thrift as practiced und' | the patriotic urge of war be practice
 today, putting such savings as W d were able to put into governmeI n stamps and bonds into bank account f planting home gardens, cheeTfully r' . pairing and using usable old garment }. and refraining from all unnecessaI f expenditures, we shall be able to mate d rially assist in the restoration of nol
 nal economic conditions.
 Furthermore. here is the opportunii e to inculcate the wholesome princip h of thrift into the minds of our sor if perienced with us the demonstr; e tion of practical economy and thri
 through a war and reconstructiC l. period they shall grow into the tyr y of citizens who win perceptibly d. l. crease the probability or panics twen = and forty years hence. Q Citizenship. We believe tn ' womans first interest is the hom # that is precisely why women are goir X to take an active part in politics. B 3 cause the home is effected by most p' 8 litical movements-therefore the mo 8 women interest themselves in Il z shaping of politics the better will
 the results effecting the home life al & through such life the welfare of Il z nation.
 H Politics and Women think the man who said "Politi E is too dirty for women,' has long sin
 been relegated to the same realm mutton-leg sleeves and circular skir E If politics is or has been dirty, doesE
 the world know that women a E famous as housecleaners. Leave it Jane"
 E There are those who question a pc
 manent interest in civics and politi
 on the part of women, contending tn the average woman cannot grasp the
 branches of study and will soon dr them as uninteresting. In sever
 states the women have so genera
 demanded education in civics and DO
 tics that the extension divisions
 their universities have had to op
 summer courses for them; while Fl Iowa alone more than thirteen tho
 sand women have taken normal cours n in citizenship for the purpose of structing the women and girls in thu own communities.
