' : ' She said In part: "A year has passed and again we are assembled in annual convention; that, which to us one year ago was a possibility, is now a reality. The bugle call to service has sounded for every man, woman and child. It has penetrated the walls of the home and out through the doors have come the women, realizing long before they were told that the war Is their own special affair; that It is here, and that we are not slackers, we shall meet It and come through It greatly changed; the j heedless happy-go-lucky thinking of the past is no longer for us; we shall exchange our material think ing for something quite different, and we shall all be closer kin to our slBters over the seas. We shall take a course in self denial, and we shall And that in giving is getting, we shall recognize blessings when we meet them and need no Intro duction, "We are seudlng our beloved boys to the front, proudly, unselfishly, and patriotically, we are learning to pray understanding, to be grateful, to give all on the altar of our country. "It requires some Imagination to realize that this conflict is being fought to defend the principles of liberty, which are so fundamental to the existence of this country; thousands of mothers must console BUCKAROO BREAKFAST IS VOTED A SCREAM All of the delegates in the city and many others were out bright and early this morning for the cow boy breakfast. After the parade which consisted of the High School cadets in uniform, the band, several old time stage coaches, a wagon and team driven by Mrs. Martha Wigle, and a bunch of cowboys and girls, everyone gathered at Davidson Park where the breakfast was served. The cowboys were the cooks and proved themselves very efficient. A whole beef was prepared, besides baked beans, coffee and the regular cowboy bread was baked and served from frying pans garnished with ashes and smoke. However it proved to be quite popular with the ladles as was evidenced by the way it disappeared. During the meal a holdup was staged on Davidson Field by the themselves with the thought that the big sacrifice that they and theirs are making Is for a vital thing." Mrs. Castner urged the main tenance of a high social standard regardless of the war, a loyal sup port of the government In all of its activities. The federation pledged Its loyal support to President Wilson, and in this connection she said that while the nation is preparing for war, its ultimate object is a lasting peace.

Among the speakers were Mrs. Jennie M. Kemp of Portland, Mrs. Minnie Trumbull, Mrs. Thompson of The Dalles, and W. K. Newell. ' The adresses were of a patriotic nature. Yesterda was a busy day with the federation, and many important matters were discussed at the morn' Ihg "and afternoon" meetings." The evening was devoted to three min ute talks by the representatives of the attending delegates, each report ing the work accomplished by her individual club. It is difficult to realize the wide range of work and the great amount of good accomplished by these or ganizations, but a good general idea was obtained by those hearing these three minute talks. This morning the reports of com mittees were received and a general discussion on matters of public health. This afternoon the election of of ficers will take place. It is quite probable that there will be little or perhaps no change in the present arrangement according to those in a position to know Just how the af fairs of the meeting will shape up. The closing meeting will be held tonight. This will be more of a literary and social affair than the other meetings have been, and a large attendance of delegates and local people is promised. The delegates will be taken to the train tomorrow by business men and others who are donating the use of their cars for the entertain' ment of the guests. The meeting has been enjoyed immensely by the delegates and the people of our little city invite them to return for another meeting at some future date.
