WOMEN'S CLUBS AND WORK
Edited by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans.
Oregon Federation of Clubs
JAak Patronage for Country Store
I Nfi. country tor, conducted under
I the auspices of the Oregon Federation
Of Woman's clubs, at the pure food ex
position, now in progress at the exposl
: tlon link, is attracting, perhaps, more
t attention and unquestionably Is produc
tive of more fun than any feature In
the building. It Is stocked with every
conceivable kind of merchandise from
a salt mackerel to a sugar-cured ham,
. from a bar of snap to a sack of flour
baby ribbon to elegantly trimmed hats,
to say nothing of boys" suits, women's
coats, furniture, pictures, dishes and
brlc-a-ibrac galore.
It goes without saying that It Is also
one of the best paying attractions of
the show, but above and beyond all It
Is bringing to tho front the work of the
State Federation of Woman's clubs and
provoking muny questions about the or
ganisation which the club women are
delighted to huve the opportunity of
answering. What Is the Oregon Feder
ation of Woman's Clubs? and What is
It t0H are the two questions usked
and over again every night.
Perhaps there are many not in at
tendance who would be equally lnter-
ested In this organization, which has
been In existence for well nigh ten
years and has accomplished some of
the greatest reforms in the stale, and
vet hus dunt) It no quietly that at this
late date people still have to ask
what It is and what It Is doing.
It is an organization composed
of all tho up-to-date, progressive
women's clubs of the state. There Is
no state government or state rules to
follow; the federation Is simply a bund
to hold the clubs together when united
.strength and action are necessary. It
might be likened to the ribbon Unit
binds togetner a beautiful collection of
roses. Each flower has bloomed out
Into its own particular color and kind,
local conditions giving It character and
fragrance, but when more service Is re
. quired than one roaa. beautiful and big
and fragrant though It muy be,
is able to give, then the collection-
Is brought together by
the frlvndly and efficient services of
the binding power. And It is through
this combined power that the Oregon
Federation of Woman's clubs has been
able to accomplish great results for tho
state, ana Judging from the many ques
ttons asked about what It has done. It.
would seem its work has been as quiet
and subtle as the fragrance of the roses
10 which we have compared It.
Its first great work for the state was
to nave a, library law enacted which
would allow any Incorporated town III
the state to Impose a tax for library
purposes provided It should wish to do
d',. i tic 1 i i ii inn law (invn
land Its grand free library; It has en
abled Baker City. Eugene and several
other places to open free libraries and
Put many other towns In the way of
Having them In the future. Out of that
library law has grown our library com
mission, which Is a credit to any state.
The next work to be taken up was
a rhlld labor law. which the club women
accomplished In one year, and In recog
nition of their work the bill requires
three women to be on the board of
commissioners Then came the memor
able light for better transportation for
the insane. For ten years various or
ganizations had presented the matter
to the legislature and failed. The first
attempt of the cluh women proved fu
tile, but the second succeeded and to
day the state Is being saved over the
old system approximately $1 5,000 a
year, and the saving in suffering to
that most unfortunate of ail classes,
i'the insane. Is Inestimable. The State
Federation stood back of the Itetall
Grocers' association and did more than
any other organization in having the
state pure food bill passed. Its last
and perhaps Its greatest achievement
was to secure an adequate appropriation
for a homo for tho feeble-minded For
years this matter had been agitated;
once It went so tar as to take the form
of a bill presented to the legislature,
but every attempt failed Six years ago
the State Federation took up the matter
and with a strong delegation went be
fore the ways and means committee
of the legislature and made stub a
strong plea that a committee of state
senators was appointed to Investigate
the needs of such an Institution and
- report at the next session. When this
report came In the club women again
went before the committee and pleaded
fitr the Institution. The need was dis
covered to he so urgent that the legis
lature appropriated $15,000 to buy
grounds and pay the expenses of a com
mittee to Investigate other homes and
methods of administration. This sum
at the last session remained unexpended,
except for the committee's expenses,
because It was thought to be Inadequate
to buy sufficient ground, and again last
winter the club women made their final
rally before the committee with the re
sult that the handsome sum of $120,000
was appropriated for a home for the
feeble-minded. The club women were
not the pioneers In this effort, nor were
they alone at the finish, for they took
It up when others had failed and' when
victory was perching on their banners
they had helpers by the score. It is
characteristic, though, of the organiza
tion when an object Is accom
plished to turn over the exerutlon to
state or municipality, which is better
equipped to carry on the work, and in
thus dropping out Its initiative work
is often lost sight of. The principal
work now before the State Federation
Is the raising of a fund to assist girls
to get an education. It Is not to be a
scholarship fund, but on a broader and,
the organisation believes, a more effec
tive plan. It Is to be a fund from which
girls who are trying to work their way
to a higher education may procure a
loan. Just as she would go to the bank
or as any business man would go to
the bank and get a loan that was de
manded by business conditions, but with
'this exception she will not be asked to
rurnimi security except In the way of
reference and she will have no Interest
to pay. From the experience of other
states this has proven to be the moat
successful of all methods tried In help
ing girls with their education.
This, like all the other work, will be
quietly conducted. None but the com
mittee will know who has gotten the
loans, nor will anyone know to what
school the girls are going.
Applications for loans mar be made
to Miss Helen Spalding, 493 Yamhill
street, Portland.
All this work requires funds, and for
this purpose the federation established
the country store, and while It Is a
"fun factory" the financial success Is
very near to the hearts of the women
who feel that It should have the sun-
port not only of the people who attend

Daughters of
Confederacy Want Change.
The Oregon chapter of the T'nlted
Daughters of the Confederacy will hold
its first meeting for the fall season at
the home of Mrs. Sylvia W. McUuIre at
795 Clackamas street, at 2:30 o'clock
cm Friday, Heptember 13. This meeting
Is held for the purpose of considering
Borne changes In the constitution which
will establish an associate membership
for which a precedent has been estab
lished by very many if not all chapters
In the south, and especially by chapters
located in distant northern cities, where
a better understanding of the work and
mission of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy is especially desired.
By this means It ha been found by the
eiot-leit f othor chapters that a
closer relationship between the southern
women and those of other sections may
be brought about. Article 2 of the
constitution of the local chapter reads:
Its objects are:
First To loyally support the govern
ment of the I'nlted States, and to usu
every means In our power to wipe out
all sectionalism and to promote the best
feelings between the people of the north
and south.
Second (Briefly stated) To gather
and preserve the records of the noble
sacrifices and heroic deeds of the south
It la sincerely hoped by the members
of the Oregon chapter that all southern
women residing in Portland, or any
where In the state of Oregon, who can
give proof of their eligibility, and who
are otherwise deslrabre. will at once
take steps to unite themselves with the
chapter, and when seven or more eligi
ble women have been found In any
other city or town of Oregon, this chap
ter will aid them In establishing a chap
ter of their own. The Oregon chapter
Is Just closing the most successful year
of Its history, and while It has had
many difficulties to overcome. It has
triumphed In every instance, and Mrs.
Jennie A. George, the retiring president,
will leave the chapter in an exceptional

them to stand upright, look at the tags
on the boxes and estimate how long
they have been in this condition, and
the only excuse you will find for It is
Senator Boreia's for docking the horses
"It brings money Into the state."
Another species of cruelty that Is wit
nessed every day with utter lndlfferenco
Is the efforts of horses to pull tremen
dous loads over wet asphalt streets. It
is not an Infrequent sight on our
streets to see horses fall to their knees
In their struggles and drivers lashing
them furiously for having fallen.
That this Is permitted and many other
things of this Kind, Is most remarkable.
Not that the spirit of humanity is suf
ficiently aroused to prevent It, hut be
cause our city puts a money considera
tion upon Its prevention, and the hope
of reward Is not often overlooked. Our
city ordinance says: "Any person who
shall cruelly beat, torture, misuse, de
prive of food or water, or otherwise
treat any animal with cruelty shall
upon conviction before the municipal
court be punished by a fine of not less
than five dollars or more than one hun

proof of personal service and loyal aid
to the southern cause during the war.
(Adopted from national constitution.)
Section 5 of article 3 reads:

Ing stranger to work should patent It.
It was practiced by a New York genius
and had its tryout on the respectable
upper west side of this city.
The originator set out dressed as a
workman, his clothes rusty but neatly
patched Arriving in the neighborhood
he had decided to work, he stepped into
an areaway and. hauling out a knife,
slit tho right leg of his trousers from
hip to knee.
Next he produced a newspaper, spread
it out and held it over the slit in his
trousers. Leaving the areaway, he hur
ried along the sidewalk, making appar
ently a great effort to hold the news
paper in place.
The wind was blowing and whoever
cared to look noticed the man's predic
ament. At the steps of a big house in
Seventy-second street he stopped and
pretended to tie the paper about his leg.
hr 'a perhaps not very strange chance,
since the hour was 6:15. p. m-, the
owner of the house appeared.
The grafter greeted the man briefly
lined the newspaper and remarked:
' I just hail an accident over on Co
lumbus avenue. Truck shoved me
against a stake and tore me pants
awful. Wonder If you could lend me
some satety pins.'
It was successful. From that house
the man carried away not only a readily
saleable pair of trousers, but a hat ami
coat as well. A quick trip to a corner
saloon to deposit his bundle and the
tale of the torn trouser leg was carried
to another house In the block.
An observer with more sheer curi
osity than police instinct watched the
collection of six bundles from six houses
In Seventy-second street before he re
luctantly left the window and went In
to dinner.

Memphis Park Board Decides The

From the Memphis Scimitar.
The squirrels In Court Square ar
here to stay.
If the little animals choose to di
gest a few trees, flowers, plants and
shrubbery they have permission to do

more than one tree a year.. '
"A tree." he said, "would Cost the
city $30." ' " - i-
It was then decided that if the squir
