CLUBWOMEN throughout the state
are anticipating: the annual meet
ing of the Oregon Federation of
Women's Clubs which will be held In
Prineville October 15 to 18. The wom
en of Prineville are making elaborate
preparations to extend unlimited hos
pitality and they are receiving the
backing of the business men and the
Prineville Commercial Club.
Never before has a vacation period
been so busy for club members.
Scarcely any of the organizations have
been idle, for there has been a large
amount of . Red Cross work to be ac
complished and the clubwomen have
been loyal In every respect.
The visit of the War Work Council
of the Y. w. c. A. to Portland during
the week was a most important event.
The plans for the "hostess houses" at
the Army camps were explained fully
and great Interest in the enterprise
was aroused.
But now, for this week, there is the
work of the woman's committee of the
National Council of Defense to be con
sidered. Tomorrow there will be c big
rally and mass meeting at 3 o'clock in
Library Halb Mrs. C. H. Castner, state
president of the federated clubs, who
is also state president of the Oregon
branch of the Woman's Committee of
the Council of National Defense, will
be in Portland to address the meeting.
Mrs. Castner will make the trip from
Hood River to attend. Surely women
who are interested in this movement
can go to the Library for this occa
sion. "Why Register?" will be the
subject. The women will be told of the
necessity of registering and will be
given full instructions.
Workers will be called for to handle
registration on Septembr 15, the day
set aside by Governor Withycombe as
registration day for women. Girls of
16 and over will be asked to register
just as the women do.
Remember the time 3 o'clock Mon

Aot to Forget Duty to Organiza
tion. TO THE members of the Oregon Fed
eration of Women's Clubs Mrs.
Castner, president, sends greetings. Sep
tember marks the homecoming from
vacations and the resuming of club
activities. The past Summer has been
a busy one. Many clubs have not ad
journed, but have continued holding
meetings, doing Red Cross and other
patriotic service work in lines that
have meant so much for the comfort
of our boys. The organization of per
manent committees for the National
Council of Defense woman's work in
every city, town and county in the
state has had the hearty co-operation
of the clubwomen. And while we are
all urged to continue our Interest and
efforts fr these great services, we
are called upon to perform in the in
terest ot Our homes and our country,
let us as the club year opens not forget
the interests of our Federation. May
I ask that you give to your new offi
cers and your programme, committees
the same helpful attention and . co
operation that has made for the effi
ciency of each individual club in the
past? The time is drawing near for
our state convention, which is to be
held this year in Prineville, In that
great section of our state that has
never been favored with a Federation
meeting. Central Oregon is famous for
its scenery and its hospitable people,
and Prineville is making extensive
plans for a royal good time. The dates
have been set for October 22-23-24-25.
and a special train will leave Portland
the morning of the 22d at 8:20, giving

join us. We will be due in Redmond at
4:30 P. M. and a delightful auto ride
of an hour will bring us to Prineville
before the dinner hour. The railroad
fare from Portland and return will be
less than $10. October in Central Ore
gon is the best time of the year. The
ride up the Deschutes Canyon is noted
for its grandeur, and we are planning
a splendid programme that will be in
keeping with the trend of the times.

In a letter from Mrs. Myra Kingman
Miller, president of the National Fed
eration of College Women, she says:
"Please say to -the women of Portland
that words seem quite inadequate when
I try to collect them to extend through
you to the women of Portland my ap
preciation for their efforts in behalf of
the federation. You were certainly ex
cellent hostesses, ever thoughtful, cour
teous, considerate and hospitable.
"The magnificent bouquets that graced
my room, the ever-present place at the
banquet table, the wonderful dinner at
the University Club, the taxi that
rushed us there, and that crowning
privilege of a lifetime, the drive
through the gorge of the Columbia,
with Mr. Lancaster as an explanatory
escort, are - evidences of thoughtful
planning, real hospitality, sincere ef
fort, and this, too, at a time when there
were so many conventions at hand
demanding similar attentions.
"None of the facts or details (or
many others) escaped my notice. I live
in a land of roses and other flowers,
in constant bloom, but roses will ever
mean to me in the future Portland.
Their pervading fragrance will recall
your pleasing hospitality, their stately
blossoms your dignity and personality,
their leaves the splendid background
your citizenship gave to the scene and
their thorns our own mistakes.
The National Federation of College
Women, through its president, extends
to you its gratitude and assures the
women of Portland that at any time
it can be of service to them, they have
but to ask and it shall be given."
War Literature Committee
Makes Call.
Plea Made to Federated Clubs
State to Do Their Duty.
TEDERATED clubs 'of the state are
urged to give their attention to the
call of the committee on literature and
libraries in their request for suitable
literature for our soldier boys, and
right in line with this comes the re
quest from the president of the general
federation, Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles,
who has been appointed a member of
the Library War Council, which is ad
visory to the American Library Asso
ciation, asking clubwomen to observe
the week of September 24 as Library
War week. Clubs should make a spe
cial effort to observe this week by
doing something practical along the
lines suggested by our state committee.
Do your bit and then report at once to
Mrs. Edwards, that she may be able to
send a creditable report for Oregon to
the Library War Council.
The attention of the study clubs of
Oregon is called to the great need for
suitable literature in forms convenient
to send to our soldier boys. They have
many leisure hours, when good, inter
esting reading matter would be a real
boon to them. The clubwomen of the
state can do much to help this need by
making scrapbooks of the short stories.
anecdotes and jokes which are being
published dally in our magazines and
newspapers. Cut them out from day to
day and when enough have accumulated
make cloth books and paste full of the
clippings. Send to Red Cross head
quarters or by parcel post direct to
the camps.

Edna Williams, a Junior at the Oregon Agricultural College, and Esther
Howard, a campflre girl of Brownsville, are two of Oregon's fairest hunt
ers. While helping their fathers drive cattle near the head of the Alsea
River in Southern Benton County these two hunters brought down a big
mountain lion. With their Kentucky fox hounds, considered the best hunting
dogs in the state, they chased the lion into a tree, where they kept him un
til help arrived. Then the lion leaped from the tree and started across coun
try. The girls chased the animal a quarter of a mile before they could
tree it again. Both shot the animal at the same time, killing him instantly.
The lion is an .unusually large one and the girls, are proud of their experience.

Cannery ut Cottage Grove Proves
Boon to Women and Children.
COTTAGE GROVE. Or.. Sept. 8. The
cannery is receiving wild blackberries
at the rate of about a ton a day. They
would be a complete loss except for
the cannery and are being picked most
ly by children and women. This is the
first year that any attempt has been
made to save the tons and tons of
Evergreens that go to waste alongside
the roads and in fence corners.
The price paid for the beities is $65
a ton, and It is thought that receipt
of berries will continue for at least
three weeks longer, so that with the
seven tons already packed, more than
$1000 will be paid for berries usually
allowed to dry on the bushes.
