The attention of club women was brought to some impending national legislation of vital interest to moth ers and wives and with a message of congratulation to the clubs of the state on the gallant way in which they had carried on during these try ing times. Mrs. Bilyeu closed her address amid the applause of an ap preciative audience. Mrs. Elva Bryant, as president of the fourth district paid a glowing tribute to the home talent of the various clubs of the district, and then launched off into a mirth provoking description of how to make a garden and how to (or perhaps it was how not to) wall in a hollyhock bed. Mrs. Bryant failed to say whether she con sidered garden making her particular contribution to the collective talent of the fourth district. Becoming serious once more she exhorted all WOmen to see it as their duty to cheer anj encourage their men during these times of financial stress, women hav ing more natural fortitude than men.

Mrs. Bilyeu's talk dealt largely with the charitable and educational projects in which the Federation is engaged and also included a ,brief outline of thé highlights of the fourth coming- State convention. Encouraging facts brought out were that $13,000^of the $20,000 Doembecker endowment fund have have been raised by Oregon club women, within a period of six years, and that Oregon’s Student Loan Fund ; is the third largest of any of the states in the Union. Mrs. Bilyeu recommended the per sonal endowment plan, whereby each member pledges herself to give 1c per day. This money then goes three ways- $1.25 to the National Fédéra-, tion, $1.25 to the State Federation and the reamining $1.15 to be used by the local club for its own purposes. This plan would enable clubs to ob tain the services, of able speakers from the various departments in the Federation.
