farmers from endeavoring scientifically

to find way for the farmers to meet
them under the same conditions. The

side. Is no injustice to the other SIDE

relief from their Ills, they are plan
ming to form pools, lnaugurate farm
ers' strikes, and demand legislation
abolishing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
heretics and highwaymen, and hurl at
them the charge of being seekers of
special privilege. Rather, we should
ask If their trouble Is not ours, and
see what can be done to improve the
situation. Purely from self-interest,
II for no higher motive, we should
help them. All Of us want to get back
permanently to 'normalcy;" but is 1t
reasonable to hope for that condition

which was greatly enjoyed by the au- dience. If all girls could have that training it would be a great thing for the future womanhood of Arizona.
 The music numbers throughout the convention were arranged by Mrs. Poison of Williams.
 Saturday mornings session was fill ed with reports from the officers of the federation, Mrs. c. o. Lampland, Flagstaff, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Fletcher By, treasurer, of Williams.
 Following this came the reports from the individual clubs forming the northern federation: Williams, by Mrs. Perrin; Flagstaff, Miss Mary G. Boy CT; Winslow, Mrs. w. H. Hoover; Kingman, Mrs. w. c. Todt; Holbrook, Mrs. J. S. Hulet; Seligman, Mrs. Hud- speth.
 Miss Minnie Lintz, Flagstaff, chair man of the department of education of the state federation, gave a very interesting talk on sex hygiene and also reported plans for the use of the student loan fund.
 The most important feature of the morning session was the Message" brought by Mrs. T. H. Cureton, presi- dent of the Arizona State Federation of Women's clubs, from the sixteenth biennial held at Chautauqua, New York, June 20-30, 1922. The advan- tage of each club in Arizona becom- ing unit of the general federation was stressed. Mrs. Cureton also pledged five hundred dollars for Ari- zona toward the club house in Wash ington.
 Mrs. Cureton reported in detail the International club day at Chautauqua. A little Philippine woman, tropical flower seemingly, in her gorgeous clothing, reported that the Woman's club had reduced infant mortality 50 per cent. The delegate from Mexico hoped for more harmony between na- tions. Paris has an American Wo- mans club. The representative from New Zealand said that Americans were thought of by them as million aires, movie actors and murderers. Hence publish then in newspapers only the best that a fairer judgment between the nations may be the re- suit.
 There were delegates from Tokio, Jugo-Slavia and India. India asked that scholarships in every American university be given Hindu women. A descendant of Count Tolstoy portray ed conditions in Russia.
 At the noon recess the Williams club was hostess to all delegates and visitors at a delightful four-course luncheon held at the home of Mrs. Martin Buggeln.
 At the Saturday afternoon sessron some excellent musical numbers, both vocal and instrumental were rendered.
 Mrs. Thompson, field worker for the Florence Crittenden home, made a rousing talk in favor of the institu- tion.
 Miscellaneous business was attend ed to and details finished up.
 The district federation was invited most cordially to come to Winslow for the next convention and the inI-

tation was accepted.
 The resolutions were accepted as follows:
 Against Divorce Whereas divorce is a social evil in this country and we wish to protect the youth of the present generation, be it resolved that the N. A. D. F. go on record as favoring uniform di- vorce laws in the states.
 Whereas, there are difficulties dis turbing the peace of Europe and resolved that the women of the fed- eration assume responsibility and ere ate public opinion that international difficulties be settled by conference instead of war.
 Whereas, there are many motion pictures before the public that ridi- cule the sacred things of life and also many pictures which by their evil suggestions exert a bad influ- ence on the young,
 Be it resolved that the women mem bers of the state patronize good pie lures and object to bad pictures and that we register our approval of de- sirable pictures.
 Whereas, The G. F. w. c. has pur- chased and established headquarters in Washington, D. C., funds for same to come from the voluntary gifts of federated clubs,
 Be it resolved that the N. A. D. F. endorse campaign for headquarters fund, recommending that all clubs in our federation support this campaign as literally as possible.
 Whereas, the advantages of direct membership with the G. F. of w. c. are both numerous and obvious, be it resolved that it is the desire of the clubs of the federation, here repre- sented, to enter into such direct re- lation, subject to the action of the Arizona State Federation.

for its well-being upon the power of determination of the human race? Responsibility, not freedom, is the key to democracy. Responsibility for ones self, for the good of the neigh bor, for the well-being of the democ- rary. Until every citizen feels this responsibility as unacceptable, there can be no permanent growth or com plete democracy."-Bailey.
 Personally 1 am an optimist. I have no patience with the calamity hollerer, who fails to see and marvel at the growth in our feeling of the world brotherhood. But 1 cannot help but wonder how many of us realize that if every community were able to solve it's own problems, take care of all questions of social need, pover- ty, wealth, crime, etc., that there would be no national nor international difficulties. And if this statement is true where lies both the opportunity and the responsibility Following the World War many people the world over believed there would be great step forward in human relationships.
 The hopes of many have not been realized, but believe if we look close ly and long we will find ground for hope. I believe that even the idea of God has changed wherever the idea of personal responsibility and kinship preached by Jesus, has permeated. I believe that as a nation, the real melting pot of the world" we are re-discovering the old foundation for our social and religious faith and can say again with the Greeks: "That God is the helping of man by man.
 The burden of proving that Chris tion democracy can be real and live up to our ideal in health and beauty is necessarily upon Americans; that means upon you and me. So what are the various concrete things with which we need to concern ourselves? First as women in community life, we must grow in the understanding that we are fighting things, not people. Women the country over must enlarge their powers to work together, leaving personal feeling chained up at home. The most needed achievement in con- certed effort among women is an in SiSoSS III pCiooitdl IOiCIdfCe. AS new citizens, with the new power of the ballot, we have confronting us the need for helping to solve the prob lems of the distribution of wealth; of the public health; of character building education. If America leads in world consciousness, we must lead in science, in the mastery of inven- ti0ns and machinery. We have with out question in America both the enterprise and ability. Our hope of success lies in the growth of our sus- taining conscience. We hear all sorts of things, "that we must have lead ers," etc. I believe that leaders are born, not made, and that if we edu cate our young people to become cap able, willing, co-workers, that lead CTS for the various occasions and needs will emerge.
 1 believe that a certain amount of public sentiment and general infor1na- tion must always precede active or ganized effort. Of course, if there is

 I believe in the Woman's club move ment. I believe in it so earnestly and completely that l am prepared to say that I think the women of today, the largest leisure class the world has, have in their hands the chance to do piece of constructive work for so- ciety unequalled by any other one group.
 I wish to ask few questions in or der to get our minds to running in the same channel.
 What is growth? Why do we have the word evolution? What does it mean? Why is it necessary for us as individuals to believe before we have what may be called social con- sciousness? Is evolution something imposed on us by the Infinite, or Is evolution the thing upon which the creative power depends in the devel- opment of it's Infinite purpose? Is evolution or growth something which takes place without effort or direction in the human race, or does it depend

 Then from a feast of delicious viands, the delegation repaired to a feast of reason.
 The evening meeting opened with music by the Williams high school band.
 Then Mrs. McMullen, by saying that among Arizona's many beautiful things, we are justly proud of her beautiful women, introduced one of the most satisfying of them all-Mrs. H. T. Southworth of Prescott. Mrs. Southworth's dramatic ability and charming personality are so well known that in the rendering of her adaptation of Richard Harding Da- wis "The Prodigal Son" and the char acterization of girl at ball game, who takes the remarks made to the players as personal, she broke her own record.
 Dean Lockwood's address was "Mar- riage and Divorce big subject to be treated in short time, and which could only be attempted by one who, as Mrs. McMullen said, was "a man, a gentleman, and scholar" That he is all three was amply proven by his message to the club women of north ern Arizona, and they wish to express here their gratitude and appreciation to him for delivering it.
 The evening closed with remark able exhibition of esthetic dancing by some of Williams younger daughters,

the nucleus of common interest, then organization and it's resulting concert ed effort can accomplish marvels.
 This then is my vision of commun- ity. That it must rest upon the firm foundation of conception of world brotherhood; that the individual must find his life through devotion to this ideal; that organization must follow and never precede a generally felt need and all community effort must swing completely around the cycle in the knowledge that its purpose must be a conscious effort to realize as I have said before, that "God is the helping of man by man."

AIRY town girl, who doesn't know any
more about cooking than a jack rabbit,
and never helped her mother three
days in her life. She is not a beauty

When "ei" and "ie" both spell re-"
How can We tell which it shall be?
Here is a rule you may believe ,
That never, never will deceive.
And all such problems will relieve.
A simpler rule you can't conceive.

To puzzle daughters, sons and nieces:
Yet with it all the trouble ceases.

Thus a general in a siege
Writes a letter to his>1iege,
Or an army holds its field,
While a warrior holds a shield,
Or has strength his arm to WELD.

Leisure is the first of these;
For the second we have seize.
