hibit. and the get-out-the-vote cam paign. All this has entailed an immense amount of work, which has been cheer fully done by Mrs. WegeliR and her committee.
 In addition, Mrs. Wegelin and Miss Conley have called board members over the phone countless time to notify them of meetings.
 Headquarters received in June, when, it also became state league head quarters, the addition of a splendid steel filing cabinet, an oak literature press, and several chairs. Mrs. Pearce of the Office Powell Supply company, also kindly donated a wall cabinet an mir TOT.
 At the request of Mrs. Wallace, per mission was given for the Axis club to use headquarters for the paint-up cam paign during July.
 Publicity
 The executive secretary has done her best to assist all the committees and de- partments in their work. The publicity has fallen to her share unaided, except for few weeks during the spring and summer, when Mrs. Wallace conducted the woman citizen column most ably in The Age-Herald. Regular Sunday columns have been conducted in The News and The Age-Herald, and there has been vast quantity of outside space. The generosity of the newspapers apparently knows no bounds, and the league is deeply in their debt. The clippings for 1923, and 1924, arranged by Mrs. Bonelli and Mrs. Wegelin, have filled two large scrap-books.
 Recommendations
 Publicity, finance, membership and organization are the four cOrnerstones of any successful organization. These should be stressed indefinitely. The next most important feature of league work should be a program of activity, based largely on work for efficiency in gov ernment, citizenship training, and world peace-our own special jobs. Let us seek first proficiency in these, and all things else shall be added unto us.
 I should also stress particularly work with young people, and the formation of college leagues at Howard and Bir- mingham-Southern, and perhaps other schools. We need to give these young women the league spirit so that they may carry on.
 As the, league grows, more emphasis should be put on precinct organization, carrying it further into voting district and block. League members, with their high political ideals, would strive to en- ter the councils of the parties of their choice, beginning with the county execu- tive committees.
 It is great regret for me that must the employment of an efficient, we'll trained, all-time executive secretary to do both the county and state work.
 My thanks are due to Mrs. Hankins. Mrs. Colby and the other members of the board and the league, with whom I have come into close contact, and who have been uniformly kind and forbear- ing with my shortcomings and failures. For my successor, l urge that same kindness and patience on the part of the new board.
 It si a great regret for me that I must lay down the work which has claimed such lions share of my thoughts and energies for the past two years. I do so the more willingly, knowing that you will all, every one, carry forward our standard of political righteousness, that you will keep it, at great cost and sacri- flee, unsulled by any selfish act, that you will keep ever before your minds our great ideal of service, that you will cheerfully endure drudgery and hard ship for the cake of that ideal, that you will submerge personal interests in the bigness of the work, and that, because Of your faith in democracy, you will struggle and strive and labor on, un- daunted by defeat, until you can pass on the torch, burning more brightly than when you received it, into the young hands which you are now preparing to hold it worthily.
 Respectfully submitted.
 AMELIA WORTHINGTON FISK,
 Executive Secretary
