Women's Clubs and Their Work
. Ldited by Mrs. Sarah A. Lvans
FROM an enrollment of 19 delegites
three yean o to ft at the La
Grande convention lat week, Is
the record of the Oregon Federa
" , tion of Woman" eluba It Ui
tnoet remarkable one. when It becomes
known that the federation la not any
stronger numerically now than It was
ai...- a fw clubs hare disbanded, and
Tfaw tew ones have affiliated, but the
ehanga has not been great enough In
the personnel of the organisation to ao
eount for the difference of representa
tion, so there 1 but one way to account
for the Increase, and that la In the en
larged Interest that U being shown In
elub work: In other words, the swak
iSn of Oregon women to the real pur
nose? and id vantages of club federation.
&r "thYflrst ?ime in the history of the
federation, clubwomen, who were not
JefelStia attended the convention from
I dlitanoe- In Jarg mr E?
Bkr Cltr Union. Haines, Pendleton,
K arnd otter' nearby town, club
vomer came by scores as visitors, and
the afternoon sessions were so largely
attended by local men and women that
e landing room was at a premium,
la oraad Hospitality.
Nothing could have been more royal
thin th, manner In which the people of
ilk Grande received and welcomed the
clubwomen of the state. Every .train
for days was met by a delegation of
women who had come In their carriages
er automobiles to greet the Inconling
isltors and carry them away to b the
J uests In the finest horns In the city,
ad In not ne single case was the
warrant and most generous hospitality
On th part of th clubwomen this
was to be expected, for they had Jnrltetf
the federation to be their guests, and
were in duty bound to do all In their
Fower to make them happy and cora
ortabla But no such obligation was
vpon the citisens at large, and one of
the ever to be remembered features of
th La Grande convention waa the hos-
fltality and courtesy shown them by
he people of the city. - Many organiza
tions of men and women vied with each
"other In seeing which could outdo the
other in kindness and attention.
Lodges gave up their meeting that
their rooms might be used, or that their
members might attend th convention;
churches were thrown open for their
, convenience; the dally papers not only
devoted columns to convention news,
but taking a list of the officers and del
; egates sent complimentary copies of the
papers to each. The Amalgamated Su
gar company put Its best men at the
service of the convention to show the
members over the plant and explain the
Intricate process of converting beets Into
sugar, and then sent tiny bottles of the
sugar done up artistically on their
card for souvenirs; the Church of Latter-
day Bain ts gave a grand conoert In
honor of the visitors, and this all was
but a few of th attentions showered
upon, the visitors.
Prejudice vanishes.
In days gone by clubwomen realized
that there was always a certain amount
of prejudiced to be overcome In every
community among people who did not
realize what club work really was. If
any auchprejudiCe ever did exist among
the men of La Grande It vanished before
the convention was over. An evidence
of this Is found in the fact that on the
second evening of the convention a cer
tain lodge of men was' In session, and
the convention being under discussion
..the members of the lodge called up the
chairman of the finance committee and
told, her there was $160 In their treas
ury left over from a certain entertain
ment whica was at th disposal of the
entertaining clubs If they needed it.
This Is almost unprecedented In club annals.
While the social and hospitality aide
of the convention stands out bright and.
beautiful in the memory of every one.
unaccompanied by anything deeper or
more significant it would soon vanisn
like all earthly Joys, but encrusted in
real purpose and earnest endeavor for
a better and broader humanity, the
work and pleasure will remain lasting
and indissoluble,' and this was the re
sult of the L,a uranae convention, in
work was earnest and purposeful.
From time to time the minutes and
proceedings will be published and th
year books will be ready for distribu
tion within a few weeks, but it takes
some time for busy women to get these
things in order and all clubwomen ar
busy woman.
Bom Important BOaa-ares.
Th measure of most immediate Im
portance was adopting the last Wed
nesday of January as scholarship loan
fund day, every club in the state pledg
ing Itself to do something on that day
to Increase th fund, that is being
loaned young girls to assist them in
procuring an education.
It was voted to tak up the matter
of collecting the poems of Bam Simpson
with their publication in book form In
view. Th president was authorised to
appoint a committee for this purpose
and she ha named the following: Mrs.
James P. Moffett of Portland chairman
with Mrs.. George Harding of Oregon
City, Mrs. T. J. flcroggens. a niece of
Bam Simpson, of La Grande. Mrs
Bhackelford of Th Dallas and Mrs. J.
El Ferguson of Astoria. ;j ......
X oommlttea was authorized ' on pub
lic health which shall cooperate with
other organizations to check th spread
of tuberculosis. This committee con
sists of Mrs. Sadie Dunbar of Arleta,
chairman, Mrs. Anna Calkins and Mrs.
Mays of Haines. Several Important
measures were adopted, of which much
will be said later.
.. Many Fraotloal Addresses.
Stern reality was th keynote of all
the addresses given at the convention.
No time waa devoted to the' purely in
tellectual or entertaining, and, while
both the elements entered into all the
deliberations, they were harnessed to
practical subjects.
An entire evening was given to th
consideration of "Publlo Health," the
anhlant Mnr maaterlv handled by Drs.
! Pierc and Smith of the state board of
health, and by Mrs. Mllile Trumbull,
who talked on th "Mission of the Vis
iting Nurse." i
The welcome by the mayor of La
Grande, Dr. M. K. Hall, contained so
many good and .pertinent suggestions
we are pleased to have been able to pro
cure a copy, which we publish today for
th benefit of clubwomen of the state
who were so unfortunate aa not to be
able to attend th convention.

DANTE. Petrarch and Boccaccio, the
three Florentine men of letters,
were the subject of a 10-mlnutes'
talk by Mrs. Charles II. Dodd before
th art department of the Portland Wo
man's club November IT. Sh said:
"Dante, who in a literary sense may
be called th first Italian, Dante, whose
pur love of Beatrice gleamed through
all his works, of whom Elizabeth
Browning said: Tender Dante loved his
Florence well. While Florence now to
love him Is content.' Petrarch, who
delighted in classic research, who
brought to Florence the culture of the
Greeks, who was the first humanist and
who before his death was proclaimed
poet laureate; Boccaccio, with his won
derful influence upon literature, and
whom the English Chaucer imitated."
Mrs. Alice Welater. In a delightful
narrative manner, born of her Intimate
knowledge of th subject, gave th story
of the contemporaneous painters. The
story of Glberti and th casting of the
famous gates of San Giovanni is an
epoch in the history of art. The fif
teenth century is perhaps the most re
markable in the history of th whole
world, being marked Dy wonaerrui
mental activity, the restoration of clas
slcal learning, the, invention of printing
and the discovery or America, in Italy
there was a striving after an originality
of style; there many different Schools,
each aspiring to the spiritual and ideal.
Florence was at th head of all th
states of Italy, at the height of its
prosperity. Th government was demo
cratic and each class had a due share of
power, being represented by consuls. It
was the consuls of the Guild of Mer
chants who in 1401 undertook to erect
a second gate to the baptistry of St
John. The first was erected In 1330 by
Andrea Pisano. Mrs. Welster gave an
Interesting description of the manner of
choosing the artist who was to have th
glory of erecting the second gate, th
north gat. It fell to Lorenso Glberti,
who began It in 1 403 and completed It In
1424. It Included 20 subjects from the
New Testament, Inclosed in a marvelous
fries of foliage, fruit and birds. Th
east gates were executed by the same
artist from 144T to 1453. It was of
these that Michael Angelo said they
"were worthy to be the gates of Para
dise." Th speaker then carried the class
with her in, spirit to the quaint old
baptistry, In which all the children of
Florence are still oaptisea. i ne in
terior of the baptistry has a charm of
solemnity almost of sadness. Like
som old mother, brooding over genera
tions or ner eniiaren wno nave passed
way old, old, meditative still. lost in
a deep and silent mournfulness. The
vast walls rise uo dimlv In that twi
light coolness which is so grateful In a
warm country tne vast roor tapers yet
farther up, with on cold, pal star of
light in the center; a few figures
dwarfed by Its greatness stand like
ghosts about tho pavement below one
or two kneeling In deep stillness; while
outside all its light and sound In the
piazza, and through the opposite doors
a white space of sunny pavement ap
pears daxsllng and blazing.
Speaking of tne psychological effect o
the baptistry upon its visitors, Mrl.
Welster passed to the subject of the
psychological department of the after
noon, namely, "Reasoning Powers of the
Two Minds Differentiated," not only a
most fascinating and instructive subject,
but one which impelled the members to
bring up their own problems that the
class might jelp solve them, realizing
that all the wisdom, all the thought
stuff of the world. Is here about us.
and that we have but to grasp it to
max it ours.
The visitors of the afternoon were
Mrs. Dodd oi Salem and Mrs. Frances
Palmer- Kimball of Illinois, who has
been active in both club and literary
work.

THB ADDRESS of Mayor M. K. Hall
of La Grande to the Federation of
Woman's clubs was as follows:
"It has become my duty, and a very
pleasant duty It is, to address you on
behalf of the citisens of La Grande. We
wish, in the first place, to express our
appreciation of the honor of having our
little city chosen as the meeting plaoe
this year of the Federation of woman's
olubs of Oregon. We deem it an honor,
because we believe that here assembled
are many of the leading minds of the
state, wnose worx or airecting in er
fort of th many clubwomen of the
state Is one of th greatest Importance
in oenair or numanity.

I wish at jthls time, If J. may b al
lowed a few minutes, to make a plea
for greater interest in the children of
the poor. Relief for the neglected chil
dren of our land cannot 4e hoped for
through any other medium than that of
Christianity, and as I personally be
lieve that 89 per cent of the Christian
ity dwells In women. In my opinion it
is to them we must look for the fur
therance of this work.
I honestly believe that a large per
centage of our criminals ar mad be
fore tsey hav reached their fourteenth
year. They ar criminals and will re
main criminals because of no fault of
their own. Th forces that make them
such are, in my opinion, first, that of
heredity; second, lack of restraining in
fluence and good example on th part
of th parents; and third, and greatest
of all, th most powerful and compell-
lnr instinct In th animal klnadom. th
desire to gratify appetite, whether It be
natural or acquired, who will blame
a hungry child for stealing when the
appetite cannot be appeased In any other
way?
Th children who need th Interest of
each women as you, outside your own
families, are not those who are found
in attendance at th Sunday schools.
They ar th poor little tots who hav
never been to Sunday school because
for on reason they never had aa Sun
day suit to wear. They are those who
cry because they did not hav enough
breakfast, who will sro to bed hunsrv.
and afterward cry because they ar
cold. These ar the sad realities, and
I believe the man or woman and I
honestly believ our only hope is In
th women and especially in the organ
ized women who will tak an Interest
in one of thee little ladles or gentle
men, for they are little ladles and gen
tlement before they are spoiled by copy
ing th manners of some of their elder
and will help them In the right way:
will accomplish more for morality and
the ultimate good of the race than any
judge or jury In the land.
I believ there are many people that
have more of this world's goods than
they need, who would gladly give of
their means to aid such poor children
if the:' were informed of such condi
tions by those who should stand between
the two. Perhaps the clergymen are
doing all their time will allow In this
direction; in this work of giving the
rich an opportunity to aid the poor
little children In- Individual cases but
if so, from my observation as a phys
ician doing my work among the very
poor, I am forced to the conclusion that
many of them must be very busy else
where. It In my belief that of statistics of
ailments of mankind of the male per
suasion, of whatever profession or call- j
ing, those listing cases of nervous pros
tration brought on by overwork In be
half of the poor, will be gathered only
after women have been voting a couple
of centuries.
I believe that men, because of their
intense selfishness, can only be whipped
Into line for good works by the votes of
th women, or perhaps better yet,
shamed Into It by the example set them
in good works by their superiors,, the
women.
Splendid work Is being don for th
waifs, suoh. for Instance, as the home
at Council Bluffs, Iowa In Portland,
the Boys' and Girls' Aid society is do
ing a great aeai or gooa. i oeneve,
however, that If the woman's clubs will
take a special interest In this work
will become alive to th rights of the
little ones in their own town, and try
to seek out ways to help individual
oases, they will add largely to the good
they are always doing.
Madam president and ladles of th
Oregon Federation of Woman's clubs,
in behalf of all the citizens of La
Grande, I tender you as an organiza
tion and Individually, an earnest wel
come to our city.
ROAD OF SAWDUST ,
Minnesota Experiment That Appears
, to lis Successful.
From th St. Paul Pioneer Press.
A road made from sand and sawdust
Is the latest style of roadmaklng de
signed by George W. Cooley, elate high
way engineer. Last spring he made a
section of road with clover and rye on
a sand foundation. This has been very
successful. Th road mad from sand
and sawdust is. at Cambridge, in Isanti
county.- - : ,
Four Inches of sawdust was raked on
the sand road after being graded. This
was worked. Into the sand by passing
teams, and as fast as ruts -were formed
the sawdust was raked into the ruts, to
be further mixed with sand. This Is a
new road making material, and if suc
cessful wlU make an exceedingly profit
able means of using the immense quan
tities of sawdust from the mills of the
state. . i -
In those counties where there is noth
ing but sand In the roads good roads
are impossible without the addition of
otlvsr material. Mr. Cooley 1 now ex-
ferimenting with various means of
urnlng the sand Into vegetable loam
whlh can be worked to advantage. Th
Idea is that th sawdust will rot and
mixing with th sand will form a loam
suitable for roads.
Such a small amount of money Is ap
propriated by. the state for the con
struction of roads that the experiments
hav been on a limited scale and the
construction of roads proceeds slowly.
This state spends only one tenth aa
much on state roads as does New Tork
in relation to the valu of th prop-,
rty.

BUYING
LOGIC
If we advertise to sell you a piano today for $223 that was $446 yesterday, would
you not think the man who paid $446 was wronged?
We have no reason for offering a $400 piano for $200. Values do not fluctuate in
this way. Our $400 values are'worth $400. Our $200 piano is worth $200. Why should
you pay twice as much as your, neighbor pays for the same piano?
Visit our store every piano marked in plain figures. " Every figure is right. Every
piano worth what the figures say. It is worth something to know the value is right.
It is no mistake to buy where you can get .
