III Second District Federation
The convention of the Second dis
trict federation Of Idaho met at
Weiser Tuesday morning, May 81
with twenty-five clubs represented
Of the thirty-two belonging to the
district. Boise sent delegation Of
fifteen, while Portia club of Payette
came over en- masse, advertising
their enthusiasm with yells and
songs originated for the occasion.
The wonderful speech delivered by
Mrs. Winter at the first morning ses-
sion aroused In every woman present
an ambition to prove herself equal to
her responsibilities. The only regret
was that every club women in the
state could not have heard her. At
noon beautifully appointed lunch
con was given for Mrs. Winter at the
Hotel Washington.
The club reports showed that club
activities the past year had been
especially directed along civic and
lines. The work done
by small clubs in rural communities
was particularly remarkable. Lack
of space forbids detailed account,
but later some of these reports will
be given to the clubs.
Among the resolutions adopted by
the convention was one favOring the
withdrawal from entry of
the lands in what Is called "The
Valley of the Moon,' in order that
this section may be set apart as
national park; another endorsed the
Fall river reservoir project, and an
other pledged the clubs to oppose
wild west shows and SINH
lar amusements at state and county
fairs.
The very excellent music during
the convention was all furnished by
Weiser musicians.
All those going to the general fed
grafton council meeting at Salt Lake
ire again urged to notify the state
PRESIDENT or corresponding secretary

rage special car and all may go to-
