of Pittsburg. Tne voionj -membership
of 00 women, with a
waiting list of over sou. and the Twen
tieth Century Club has a membership
of 600, with a large waiting list also.
The annual membership fee of the
Club In New York City Is 1100. while
that of the Twentieth Century Club Is
$26. Both Institutions have been suc
cesses, financially and otherwise.
Mrs. McCord said: "The women of
Portland should by all means have a
woman's building. With a large num
ber of clubwomen In Portland 1 see no
reason why they couldn't support a
fine institution. But I urge the women
to select a location In the heart of the
city. In the business and shopping dis
trict, and when they build to plan a
largo, pretentious building Instead of
a smaller one. As to the financing of
such an Institution, that Is assured. If
the experience of the various clubs In
the Eastern cities can be accepted as
good Judgment Those clubs have
been great successes, and have been
praised by some of the most Influen
tial moneyed men In the country and
the bonds always have a ready
market"
Postmaster Myers told of the advan
tages ot parcel post In bringing the
producer and consumer together. Un
der the parcel post system, he said, we
will have Federal telephones, the
rental of which will be small, and the
consumer can telephone Into the coun
try and order supplies. "This Is bound
to help the farmer located 20 or 40
miles from Portland, who doesn't have
the time to come In that distance to
the publio markets. It will undoubt
edly reduce the high cost of living,"
said Mr. Myers.

Whereas, we believe that this cus

"Resolved, that we. the Portland

effort that Is now being made to se
