is hoped that large number OF wo-
men from this state will be able to
attend. The program as mapped
out by the chairman, Mrs. Charles
III. Jacobson of Denver, bids fair to
be most interesting. Mrs. Jacob
son says There will be no supple
mentary conferences, and for this
reason the chairman of every de-
uartment will be asked to present
her work herself instead Of giving
her brief time to outside "inspira-
tionals' speakers"
There is a definite demand for
specific information concerning the
new departments Of the General
Federation which can only be met
by persons directly connected with
them.
There are to be no reports at this
meeting, these being reserved for the
biennial
We are asking. department chair
men and state presidents to state in
clear, forceful and inspiring way
as lies in their power just what
each has planned to do, how she ex-
poets to accomplish these plans, and
just exactly what is desired from
the assembled and organized club
women.
Taking into account that we only
have three days, we believe that
this concentrated effort will pro-
tduce better results than could be
achieved through the divided in
terest that would result from a num-
her of small conferences.
We are hoping that this council
meeting will bring every woman in
to direct personal touch with the
workers in the General Federation
and we are asking Tor the hearty
cooperation of all department chair
men and all state presidents in Sc
curing this result.
8 The "Intermountain and Coast
Federation" conference will be held
previous to the council meeting,
This will be a sort of family con
ference of the General Federation
with state declarations and individ-
aual clubs, and it is hoped that the
Federated clubs of Idaho will see
that they are individually repres
ented. The dates ssE--- sumo 1918.
The mattere of making May S0th,
National Poppy Day" has been
brought to the attention of many of
the clubs in Idaho. Madame e.
Guerin, the Poppy Lady of France"
is asking American women to wear
the. poppy Of Flanders Field on. this
day. These poppies. made by the
millions out of red silk, by the wi
dows and daughters Of French sol
diers, can be secured by ordering
them through Madame Isabelle
Mack, 23S 10th street, Indianapolis,
Ind, at 10 cents a piece.
In the General Federation News
for March is the Following:
National Corn Meal Week" to
Help Out The Farmers.
Mrs. r. B, Penney of Nebraska
calls the attention of her club wo-
men to a national movement on be-
half OF the farmers Of the great
corn belt who are meeting some
terribly difficult and disheartening
conditions. This movement is to
be designated April z, as National
Cornmeal Week"
Her plea is: please good club
women, learn to make everything
that canbe made from cornmeal and
give It TO your family that week.
The Pound Of Wool Campaign an
augerated by the Federation of Wo-
mems clubs of Idaho has. reached
the national capital and judging
from letters received from United
