This settles tha question that 80 many have asked, "What rates are we to getr Tha regular fare to 1a Granda from Portland is J9.10. In buying; a ticket ' tha delerate gets a ticket to L.a Grande, paying- full price for It, but she must ret a, receipt, or certificate, for It from tha agent, and by having- this signed by the secretary of the convention, aha will be entitled to a one third are In ret urn I ps. This would make the rate, to the convention and return J1J.15. The same rate will obtain fror points south and east of Portland. It Is Important, however, that every one buying a ticket get her certificate from the home office, else she will not ba. able to obtain the rata In returning. Delegates, officers, speakers and chairmen of standing: committees will ba entertained by the U Grande club women, so the expense of the trip will not ba nearly- so much as . was first . feared.

"Federation the most pu-lssant, the most successful force in 'the world of , -tha past or of the present, aa It will be of the future! All great deeds have been accompiisnea oy it, an mignty causes have been carried forward by it, all happiness, love and joy come from it. "Every nation Is . a federation. The family, the church, the school, the state . every organization of every kind whether secret league, the business combination, the reform society, the propaganda, the patriotlo society or the smallest and most unknown club, Is a -federation, and sad indeed wquld be the lot of the man or woman whosp life Interest was not concerned with others. "If we pause and think of the mean- Ing of thla word to the -world and to tha individual, we can but experience surprise that we still hear the question, What is the benefit of federation T Let us glance at what the Federation of ; Woman's clubs has wrought for the in- 'dividual woman In her various occupa ' : tions and walks of life. "First for the mother: It Is Impos sible to estimate the value of the child study In the olub to the young mother. 8he has learned how to feed, clothe and train her children more scientifically; how to study their varying disposition; how to take the large common sense t view, rather than the sentimental; how to give to the world well-poised, cheer ful, useful men and women. For the -.mother whose children arc at the edu- , .cation period, the club and the federa tion have given the study and research which have kept her in touch with the . students, so that tha high school boy and ths girl come to her tor the history and literature, for the philosophy and , science which give them renewed Inter est and belief Tn the potentiality of the .mother; their lives are built more solidly on the principle that all good comes from the home. "To the middle-aged mother, whose children have left the home for the work of life, whose hands are empty, who would spend lonely hours and sur- fer heartaches, the club and the federa tion have brought interest in life, pleas- workera as well as to improve wages and conditions of living, "To the conservative Woman federa tion brings the knowledge of the Indi vidual point of view, the best lesson ever learned; to the lonely woman it brings frisnds and fellowship; to the unhappy, useful work and forgetfulness ot sen; to tne rtcn woman it nas Drougni knowledge of the- obligations entailed by her possessions; to the poor it has brought genuine help and uplift In mul titudea of cases. "Besides all this, to the individual woman, it haa brought a living interest, acquaintance and fellowship between the women of the various states of our land. No longer Is the south unknown to the north, or the west to the east. No longer does any state , stand alone; the federation makes the Interest the con cern of all. "The meaning of federation? Beneca says: 'God divided man into men, that they might help each other. t . " rf OMORROW morning tha first con Itingent of delegates to the annual 'convention of the Oregon Federa tion of Woman's clubs will leave' for La Grande. As far as can' be learned about SO or 40 will be leaving on that train, and the others will follow on the evening train. The Portland clubwo men will be Joined by the delegates from Roseburg, Eugene, Salem and other southern Oregon points, and, like the proverbial snowball, that gathers sice as, it goes, (he delegation will in crease In size as it gets to The Dalles, Pendleton and other eastern , Oregon points. The most encouraging news comes from all over the state, and it is hoped and believed this will be one of the most largely - attended conventions the state organization nas ever neia The two entertaining clubs The Neighborhood and the Lyle Musical- have been untiring- in their efforts to do their part toward making the affair a success, and the latest news states that the last touchea have been given to everything and the good women of la urande are waiting, ready witn a hearty welcome to the clubwomen of the state. tt FINAL reports of the many general and sub-committees of the Tues day Musical, and Neighborhood clubs will be read next Tuesday after noon at a meeting of the Neighborhood club at the "home of Mrs.' J. M. Berry. At tha,-tlme final plans for the enter tainment of the . Oregon Federation of Woman's, clubs which meee here in annual convention November 10v.to 12, inclusive, will be perfected. It is a mat ter of deep Importance that all mem bers of the two clubs attend, as the matters to be discussed are of vital in terest. The time is rapidly approach ing when the convention will oonvene and the plana need speedy perfection. Much interest is being manifested by the club ladles in anticipation of the convention of the Federated Woman's clubs, to be held here early in Novem ber. Tha Tuesday Musical club will render the music during the session and is practicing faithfully toward that ' end. Another practice meeting will be held Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. O. E. Sllverthorn. The ladles of the Neighborhood and the Tuesday musical cuiDS win entertain the dele gates .' during their Grande Observer. w stay here. La It K THE Oregon Woman's Press club held the first meeting of the year at the home ' of Mrs. Julia , La Barre last Wednesday evening and a most inspiring meeting it was. Mrs. Addlton, the president, was a state dele gate to "the biennial convention of the general federation that was held at Boston last June. The flrat number on the program was her report of the con vention. Mrs. Addition was an appre ciative delegate and being In warm sym pathy with organized work her report of the great convention was full, in structive and entertaining. Mrs. Clara Colby, who. has lust re turned from Europe gave an Illuminat ing talk on the great suffragette move ment of the British Isles. It is not the great burlesque people of this country are led to believe from the newspapers, said Mrs. Colby, but It is an earnest, dignified protest against Injustice. Mrs. Colby took an active part in many ot the demonstrations and car ried the banner through the streets of London on the occasion of thegreat pa rade, which has gone down into history as one of the greatest demonstrations the world has ever seen. During her stay abroad Mrs. Colbv spoke on the subject of suffrage In England, France, Scotland, Ireland and Holland. She reports that the suffragettes are now working to defeat the Liberals, whom they were largely Instrumental In putting Into power, because once in power they have not kept their promises to the women. Mrs. Colby had many Interesting ex periences and is preparing a course of lectures which she will soon give In her apartments , at the Selllng-Hlrsch hall. as s RS. TILLIB WE BERT, president of the Aurora Woman's club, sends "Early last year we took up Oregon history and later historical novels of Oregon. "The chief work of which the mem bers feel gratified la our new home or clubroom. We leased part of a build ing for a term of years and remodeled it at quite an expense, but we are free from debt and feel like we are ready to accomplish something.

HEN the State Federation of Wo men's clubs convenes In this city next Tuesday one week from today the subsequent sessions that will bring out instructive papers, interest ing musical numbers and addresses of learned clubwomen, will not confine admission to clubwomen' alone. Any lady tn the city and gentleman, too will receive a warm reception at the hands of the entertaining clubs of this city, and the delegates from other clubs of the state, 'the Instructive features of the convention should be heard by as many aa possible. Special stress is al ways given the invitation of nonclubwo- men and tne same tning is true in La Grande this time. Nonclubwomen are oftentimes unaware of the scope of the work done by the Oregon f ederated clubs, a most ex hausuve yet concentrated review of what the club federation does la told by the present 'incumbent of the pres ident's office, who will be In La Grande next week, and who In Boston last June made the following reoort from Oregon to the ninth biennial convention or the Ueneral Federation of Women a clubs: Madam President and Members of the Convention The Oregon federation numbers 40 clubs with an Individual membership of about 1,800. Our stand ing committees correspond with the standing committees of the General Federation of Women'a cliibs. thounrh we do not attempt aggressive work along all these lines. Our greatest achieve ment this nast year was securlner an appropriation of 1120.000 for a home for the feebleminded, for which we had been working for six years. in cooperation with the Retail Gro cers asaomntion, we secured a state pure food bill, which conforms in every particular with the national bill. The energy of our Dure food committee haa been devoted to securing personal mar- aei inspection ror every town in the state where there Is a woman's club.

"Federations in Oregon have been slow of growth, but n, visit from our national president, Mrs. Derker, last year, gave It an Impetus from which we are still feeling the good effects, and ws hope during the next two years many of our clubs will become mem bers of the general federation. The circulation of the "Federation Bulletin" Has Increased, I think, and it is valued by all who take it The bureau of information has been of invaluable help In building up our federation, and I bring many thanks from many Oregon clubwomen for the generous and courteous treatment they have received from Mrs. Wood. "For the first, time in its history the hap of. representatives of our state capital Was thrown open for a conven tion and loaned for the annual meeting of the Oregon federation this year. The hall was crowded at every meeting, with eager, earnest clubwomen, and a large audience of men and women greet ed En os Mills when he pleaded so earnestly for the preservation of our Oregon forests.

In piping tones the answer came back from the office girl, "Mr. S is not here and won't be till to-; morrow morning; he had to go home to vote and won't be back today" "Is It a legal holiday?" I aaked, "and If so what are you doing there?" "Oh. you know, if there wun'r one here to answer the nhone and keep U.4ngs going we would be in an awful condition in the niprning, and of course the men all had to go home to vote, and some of them live so far out."
