IDAHO CLUB WOMEN
PLANNING MUCH WORK
NATIONAL CORN MEAL WEEK
AND POUND OF WOOL CAM
PAIGN' ARE COMING.


Federation will be held in Salt Lake
City this year, in June, and it is
hoped that large number of women
from this state will be able to attend
The program as mapped out by the
chairman, Mrs. Charles H. Jacobson
of Denver, bids fair to be the most in
teresting. Mrs. jacobson says There
will be no supplementary confer
ences, and for this reason the chair
man of every department will be ask
ed to present her work herself in
stead of giving her brief time to out
side sinspirational speakers"
There is definite demand for
specific information concerning the
new departments of the General Fed
GRAFTON 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 as
clear forceful and inspiring way as
lies in their power just what each has
planned to do, how she expects to ac-
complish these plans, and just exact
ly 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 produce bet
ter results than could be achieved
through the divided interest that
would result from number Of small
conferences.
We are hoping that this council
meeting will bring every woman into
direct personal touch with the work
ers in the General Federation and we
are asking for the hearty cooperation
of all department chairmen and all
state presidents in securing this re-
suit.
The "Intermountain and Coast Fed
Grafton" conference will be held pre-
vious to the Council meeting.
This will be sort of family con-
ference of the General Federation
with state federations and Individual
clubs, and it is hoped that the feder-
ated clubs Of Idaho will see that they
are Individually represented. The
dates are June 1918.
The matter of making May 30th,
National Poppy Day" has been
brought to the attention of many OF
the clubs in Idaho. Madame E. Guer-
in, 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
put of red silk, by the widows and
daughters of French soldiers, can be
secured by ordering them through !
street, Indianapolis, Ind, at 10 cents
| piece.

The Pound of Wool Compaign In e
ugurated by the Federation of Wo- Fl
lens club of Idaho has reached the "
ational capitol and judging from n
,tters received from United States s,
enators and representatives it was a n,
mely movement. We quote from let q
srs received from Mrs. Fred T. Du- a
ois, state chairman of the business Al
nd industrial committee: Al
Washington, D. G. Ia
" Dear Mrs. Dubois: f.
The Idaho movement of "Buy
ound of Wool came to my attention +:
,day. The women of the west are tt Sc
, congratulated on their vision and 81
.ganization. We have tried to Sc o.
ire legislation along the lines of the n(
II I am enclosing. It will prove to Ii
ou that few of US from the west 4
ave understood the needs of the q,
yestock growers. / presume the 81
'esident will veto the bill--but it sr
IS at least drawn attention to the s.
untry to the issue. We will hope m
r quick remedial legislation in the
ar future. N
With kind regards, / remain,
