THE State Federation convention
held. at rrinevllle thl past week
was a help and an inspiration tc
all who attended it and its good will
toe felt In all the clubs when the dele
gates shall have taken their messages
home. Patriotic service for all clubs
ivaa the main thought found in the re
ports and addresses.
Airs. Castner presided graciously and
the clubwomen of It'ineville proved
themselves ideal hostesses.
One of the most important reports
was that of Mrs. Frederick Eggert,
chairman of the scholarship loan fund
Mrs. Kgert was entirely deserving of
the praise that was accorded her for
her work. Following are extracts from
the report:
Report Is Interesting.
"This work of the Oregon Federation
Of Women's Clubs is patterned after
that of the Colorado Federation, which
was instituted in 1902 and had made
an enviable record.
"During the first year of Mrs. Sarah
A. Evans 10 years able administration
mm president of the Oregon Federation
she cast about for a worthy object and
Aim to engage the efforts and unify the
activities of the clubwomen of our
state.
"At the LaGrande convention of 190S.
by unanimous vote the laat Wednesday
of January was adopted as Scholarship
Loan Fund day, when every club is
asked to do something to increase the
fund which is being loaned to assist
young women in their educational prep
aration for li l e's work.
"This day stands In our year book
as 'lied Letter day' and each individ
ual club sends the result of its efforts
to the chairman of the board of trus
tees, under whose direction it is dis
pensed. "These funds a re loaned to young
-women In need of small sums in addi
tion to their limited means, which will
make it possible to complete their edu
cational training for a higher grade
of work, an advanced place in the scale
of wage earners, topther with larger
opportunity, wider field of usefulness
and a place of helpful influence which
would otherwise be impossible of at
tainment. "These young women must have sat
isfactory references as to character, in
dustry, studious habits and steadfast
ness of purpose esential to success in
their undertakings. The loan is made
without interest and payments are due
an soon as the course is completed and
"kthe beneficiary becomes
wake earner.
"The policy of the board is in the
direction of small loans at the end of
the course rather than at the begin
ning, and this for h twofold reason:
first, that the borrower may not begin
life's work with the handicap of a large
Indebtedness, and, secondly, that the
day of repayment may not be too far
tn the future, thus tying up funds
which should b ready for use for the
benefit of others waiting for similar
aid.
"The fund is adminiiorel by a board
of nine trustees, no salaries whatever
bein paid for any service connected
therewith, rven the expen. of account
book, stationery and pos'age has thus
far been paid from the general fund or
donated by members of the board. Thus
every dollar contributed to this fund
has been used only for the purpose in
dicated by its name.
"Sixty-four clubs and five individuals
have added to the fund the munificent
sum of SI-MI.::. The financial state
ment sets forth the tin usually large
amount received from the outposts of
our stale, proof positive that this noble
work Is more deeply and widely elicit
ing the confidence and co-operation of
widely scattered clubs, both large and

Women Working on Menus
That Contain Substitutes.
Oregon C'lnh members Take Lead lA
Comervatlon Work,
THE women of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and the clubs
are all trying to do their part In the
big campaign for conservation and
substitution in arranging menus. At
almost every meeting it is impressed
upon the members that they must
study the question with greater dili
gence than ever. As a result the Ore
gon women have taken a lead In this
department of patriotic service.
It is Interesting to note what is being
done elsewhere.
In several places in Iowa the manu
facturers and manacrers of stores re
lease any girls employed by them in
groups In order that they may attend
home economics courses taught by Miss
Bentley. of the State Agricultural Col
lege. The employers also pay the ex
pense of equipment, fuel, food and the
traveling and living expenses of the
teacher.
In New Hampshire the principle of
organization is that of extending the
home economics work in divisions
throughout the state tintil actual con
tact with the individual In the house
hold is provided. The desire is to have
the machinery completely and minutely
organized from the state authority to
the home, so that whatever advice or
information Is received from Washing
ton or the state authority may be trans
mitted directly to the home.
New Hampshire has been divided Into
districts of about five townships each.
These districts are subdivided by towns,
each having a local committee. 'Each
town Is districted in groups of 25 fam
ilies. A supervisor, selected for her
fitness to organise her territory and
co-ordinate various normal activities
in It. Is put In charge of each district.
In Portsmouth for 2000 families there
are 80 local leaders.
The home economies directors, se
lected by the State Agricultural Col
lege, provide practical, scientific help
for all these housewives.
Ohio has "war markets." Many of the
towns are providing markets to con
serve produce. In Alliance one thor
oughfare is closed to traffic during
the market hours on three days of the
week by order of the City Council. Two
streets In Canton are used for markets.
Maaaillou reports two markets a week.
The. war market tn Canton Is riven a
military tone by the blowing of a. bugle
at t:S9 each morning. Several automo
bile loads of rubber and paper were
collected in Canton and all of It was
sold before It had been completely as
sembled. This Is one of the avenues of
money-making for the committee, ap
parently, and also stops unnecessary
waste. -
Marketing by motor Is a feature ot
the war market tn Lakewood, says the
Cleveland Leader. One need not own an
automobile to Join the motor market
party when the new farmers' market
opens at the town hall at 6:30 in the
morning. Many Women who own ma
chines have agreed to lend a helping
hand to the women struggling home
with bulging packages of produce.
Miss Ida Tarbell, of the Council of
National Liefense, In a note to the wom
an's department, urges the women to
can and preserve all the fruits and
vegetables possible and use the fresh
fruits now.
It was quite fitting that the eastern
part of the state should receive a di
rectorship and that Mrs. John Vert, of
Pendleton, should be elected. Also it
was right that Southern Oregon should
be remembered and Mrs. Bell, of i:ose
burg. get an office This sprinkles the
offices over the state pretty thor
oughly. Mrs. Roy Bishop nominated Mrs
Vert and Mr. Lewis, of Hood River,
nominated Mrs. Ball. Mrs. Trumbull
put up Mrs. Bean, of Salem, and Mis.
Alexander Thompson named Mrs. Sadie
Orr Dunbar for a directorship, but the
two last were defeated. Mrs. Elkins
of Prinevllle, was elected second vice
president to succeed Mrs. J. W. Tlfft,
of Portland. Mrs. Castner was re
elected Unanimously.
Among the resolutions at the conven
tion was one thanking the O.-W. R. A
N.. for sending so delightful and ef
ficient a passenger agent as Miss Avis
Lobdell, who, young as she is, mothered
the entire delegation.
-A resolution submitted by the legis
lative committee Instructed the com
mittee to present to the next conven
tion a complete, full and comprehen
sive report of the amendment to be
submitted to the people establishing
a home for state wards.
A resolution sent by the Kansas Fed
eration indorsed the efforts of the War
Department in controlling vice condi
tions In camps.
By resolution It was decided that In
the future resolutions presented must
have club and not merely individual
backing. This will do away with per
sonalities. A sub-committee on kindergartens
was authorized.
It was recommended that no refresh
ments be served at club entertain
ments. The return trip home was delight
ful. The hilarity of the buckaroo
breakfast awakened the spirits of the
delegates and they had a Jolly home
trip.

'Serve by Saving," National
Administration Urges.
Food Hablta of 100,000,000 People
Mnst Bo Modified by Housekeep
ers, It- In Pointed Out.
UNDER the topic "Serve by Saving,"
the United States Food Adminis
tration sends out instructions and sug
gestions that it will be found most
helpful for all women who are sincere
to heed.
"Every housekeeper in America is
called to the colors.
"On her banner are three words:
'Serve by Saving.' Her ammunition is
food. Her uniform is a kitchen apron.
"Every intelligent housekeeper is
answering the call with the same fine
glow of patriotism jind loyalty to her
country that is prompting thousands
of our young men to don . the khaki.
For she knows the great task that lies
before her that of so modifying the
food habits of the 100.000,000 people in
this country that the United States may
not only meet the emergency of feed
ing our own brave boys on the battle
held, but keep our Allies from starving.
"This great patriotic task can never
be shouldered by one group of women
working alone. Every housekeeper in
America, no matter how large or small
her family or pocketbook, must co
operate, must mobilize.
"Her campaign is not to ask her fam
ily or community to starve themselves.
but rather to teach them to eat less
meat, sugar, fat and wheat by substt-

be extravagant for one to eat would
be the most economical food for an
other. Then. to and this is the most
perplexing problem of all our Jonns
and little Marys and Jacks sre-not the
same. Kach household offers a sepa
rate problem. . -
"Your task of feeding your family In
the most economical way will be great
ly lightened, however; -tf-now;- lrr a -moment
of leisure, you will map out your
campaign in the following way:
t. Try to discover and stop the small
rastes-thos little leaks that have for
merly seemed too trivial to bother about.
2. Decide on the thlncra that must be dnne
Immediately: for" instance, tho preserving
of any perishable fruits and vegetables that
may still be plentiful ntid cheap.
a. Learn how to make delicious dishes out
of left-overs and serve as far as possible
rood raised In your own locality. This will
save transportation.
All this does not seem much for Un
cle Sam to ask of you, does it? .And
yet every .woman who does this con
scientiously from day to day will be as
much a soldier as any fighting man in'
the trenches.
Where there Is a will to save food
there is a way!
And one way to save meat la to
study your salad recipes.
It is a common mistake to think that
salads are only a ride dish. Some sal
ads are so nourishing that they may
take the place of the meat dish alto
gether. If every housekeeper in America
would decide to have at least one meat
less day In the week, when she served
a nourishing salad Instead, think how
many pounds of meat would be saved'
for our soldiers next Winter!
. Here are Just a few suggestions of
salads that may take the place of the
meat dish:
Russian Salad.
1 cup of carrot cubes.
1 cup of potato cubes.
1 cup of cold cooked peas.
1 cup of cold cooked beans.
Mix and serve on Komnlne leaves, garnish
with hard boiled eegs or salmon boned.
Serve with French or boiled dressing.
Staffed Tomato Salad.
Stuff tomatoes with oottnice cheese and
nut meats. Pour over It French dressing.
With these suefrestlons you can undoubt
edly think of many more attractive combi
nations of eKga. beans, nuts, cheese and
fish with various vegetables and fruits.
Our problem la to fled our allies tills Win
ter by sending them as much food as we
can of the most concentrated nutritive value
In the least shipping space. These foods
are wheat, beef, pork, duiry products and
sugar.
Our solution Is to eat less of these and
more of other foods of which we have an
abundance, and to waste less of all foods.
Mrs. L. E. Joy, a prominent member-,
of the Parent-Teacher Association who
took a great interest in the cooking
and canning lessons In the schools this
season, has a recipe for using tomatoes
that she finds satisfactory and at the
request of many it is herewith given:
