r M. R Hruiis. chairman of the
literary committee of the Texas Fed-
eration of Women's Clubs has sent out the
following appeal to the elub women of
Texas
A call has gone forth from the presi-
dent of the Colorado Federation of Wom-
en's Clubs to eonvene in IVnver, October
7 1" The women are urged to come to-
gether by the commanding voice to dis-
cuss problems of reconstruction aud
Americanization. and make plan* for
tea- hinjr the foreigner the true meaning
of Americanism
All over the land women are being mobi-
lized for similar purpos* s. ami in Texas
our club women will soon . ssemhle tor a
like purpose. For the past two years
individual dubs have bee. studying the
immigrant problem ami following outline
programs on Ameri-'an^ation. having thus
prepared thenis- v. - they are. no doubt,
ready now for a broader work As chair
nan'"f the literatut committee, to whom
with her ao 'os, the State Federation
delegates the «! t.v of supervising outline*
for study clubs a follow-up program of
that on 'Americanization. i»rei*.in-1 by the
former hairman. Mrs. Maggie I'.arrv for
open forum meetings. I< now ready for
distribution and clubs desiring ''tis -an
seen re same by writing me at Wharton,
Tex
The history of elviliflntlon Is the story
of man's ehanging ideals and standards of
living. Through the war's influence,
America's ideals have undergone a change
j and the by-product is an unrest, that must
be intelligently dealt with, else we will
be confronted with the reign of terror, and
the transplating of the red flag of anach-
lsni from Kuropean shores to those of the
"Home of the Free." An intelligent dis-
cussion of these problems is wise at this
lime, and with this in view the St ate ex-
board adopted a new policy, that of
Speakers' Hureau, and it will be the en
deavor of the committee having this work
in hand to send to Individual clubs, upon
their request, speakers who have studied
these changing conditions and who are in
touch with the many solutions that are be-
ing offered by professors of sociology,
students of social science and philosophers.
Your committee earnestly urges that you
hold open meetings, inviting women of
nil classes and crec is to meet with you in
the consideration of these American prob-
lems. Despair wins no battles, neither is
it wise to engage in violent conflict, but.
rather, like the little nations of Chill and
Argentina, let us employ reason, not
force. Love, not hate, should be the
burden of America's song. At all times
happiness has been the dream of the
world, and it is only the material and
spiritual tilings that make for happiness
in the life of a nation that is of the eter-
nal kingdom.
In order to stimulate patriotism in the
hearts of tic* # hool children, and at the
same time provide a means of raising
funds for (dub or school work, as chair-
man. I have soured from F. A. Bogges,
secretary Boulder Chautauqua, a pageant-
drama on a percentage basis. Clubs de-
siring to present this can secure it from
me. It. is copyrighted by the author, and
can only be secured through this channel.
I will be glad to explain more specifically
fo those Interested.
"Lest you forget." your attention is
called to the Literary Contest. Manu-
scripts should be in. the hands of the
State chairman not later than October 10.

THE meeting of the Woman's Club Wed-
nesday gave all in attendance an idea
of the program for the year, which spelled
"work." Mrs. John J. Stevens, when asked
what she was going to talk on said
"Work." there will be no pyrotechnics;
the time has come io work: there will not
be much talking this year; there will be
no time for it. Speechmaking has a place,
but there is no place for it here now. The
new building will be the burden of my
song, the day nursery will be one of the
important issues of the club program, and
the flower show with the civic depart-
ment of the elub as its sponsor will have
to be taken up very soon.' This is one
of the most Important events in stimu-
lating civic pride In the home surround-
ings.
It was decided by the membership pres-
ent to ask for donations for the Salvation
Army drive to be presented in the name
of the club, though many of the mem-
bers had previously given, the sum has
reached SOT.

OCTOBER SALE
A Follow-Up of a Most Successful September, in
Which We Practically Doubled Our Business
There is no reason more potent than the fact that this large increase
has been gained by legitimate underselling, based on a principle of
quick turnover and with just,enough profit to pay expenses and in-
terest on investment, a merchandising duty we owe our country dur-
ing this period of abnormally high prices. Shop everywhere, post
yourself on prices, and then you will readily recognize the lower
prices here.
