The report of the biennial conven-

the beautiful settings and the gra-

writer, against Mrs. John D. Sherman,
retiring national president, for COM

Mrs. Willard Bayliss of Chisholm,
state president who was an honored
guest at the convention reported fifty
five new clubs and departments have
been added since last October, includ-
ing twenty-six clubs and twenty-nine
new junior departments and clubs.
I'VE are continually striving for
something, more money, more property
or more comfort" she said. "Only
few are content with what we have
and only few see how unsatisfactory
it all is, and many of us mistake the
way for the end True happiness de-
ponds on the happiness of others and
in order to be happy ourselves, we
must help others to be happy"
Speaking of child training, Mrs.
Bayliss asserted that "if you wish the
childs confidence when he is grown,
you must get into his heart when he
is young. There are four things to
observe: See to his physical wellbeing,
see that the knowledge he gains func-
tions in the life of the child, teach
the child to control his emotions, and
be sure to place the child in the right
environment where the same thing is
done over and over and where the
child will succeed"
Support of the Eighteenth amend
ment, a study of the problem of
feeble mindedneSS, the encouraging of
municipal forests, voting at every cleo
ton and the continuation of the work
for world peace are some of the major
planks in the federation's platform as
outlined by Mrs. Bayliss. The drive
for new members was also stressed by
the federation president. Four clubs
of the state have been placed on the
honor roll for doubling its membership,
she declared. They ale the Pelican
Rapids Community club, the Breck-
enridge Study club, the Geneva Study
