Rural Life Report.
The following report of the rural
life committee was made at the twen-
tieth annual convention of the Texas
Federation of Women’s Club* at Waco
by Mrs. W. A. Warner, state chairman
rural life. She said:
"The greatest year in the history of
the rural woman is drawing to a close.
But a greater year is dawning. At
last, not alone the state of Texas but
the nation and the whole world has
awakened to not only the importance
but the absolute necessity of her place
in the scheme of life, and today as
never before men as well as other
women are seeking her co-operation
in carrying on the affairs of the world.
Common needs and common duties are
fading out the old class lines, and soon
we will be, generally speaking, an un-
divided and an undivisible class of
just women, working together the wide
world over for the peace, comfort and
happiness of all the homes in all our
lands. As chairman of the rural life
work of our loved Texas federation it
is my hope, my prayer, that the seed
may be sown in Texas that will in
time grow into a world-wide sister-
hood of women And the seed has
already been planted and is even now
beginning to bear fruit.
"During the past year, in almost
every county in the state the women

nation as well as Texas
"To the incoming chairman of rural
life we wish to herewith hand over
the key to the greatest opportunity in
Texas history, and we would recom-
mend that the county be the field K
service for all organised work. Health,
education, civics, conservation and all
the rest. Let cash markets for the
women's and children's products be
one of your missions. No one thing
will do more to build up the rural
home and reduce the high cost of liv-
ing for the city consumer
"Raise it at home. save it at home,
make it at home, sell it at home, buy
it at home, spend it at home. enjoy it
and consume it at home in your own
county first, your state second, your
nation third and then the world. Let ,
this be your rule and there will be
no hungry, helpless children in Texas,

work has brought us all together. We
have been brought to realize that your
nag is our flag and your boy and our
boy are standing side by side in its
defense, and it may be they will fall
side by side for its honor, and where
our boys are our hearts are—and so
it is our hearts have been brought
together this year as never before in
our generation.
"In all this work the county has
been adopted as the unit of operation,
and in thia way every home, every
community and every little town in
the county as well as the central city
was given an opportunity to do its
part. You know the results:
"County conservation clubs, county
federations, county Red Cross chap-
ters. county development clubs, county
boys and girls clubs; county canning
clubs, county exhibita, county fairs,
county school fairs and county dem-
onstrators have sprung up so fast all
over our great states that we could
not even count them. Until Texas
promises to be one of the most thor-
oughly organized and set to work
states in the union.
"We can mention only samples of
the work that has been done. In the
first district more than thirty counties
organized for food conservation.
Haswell county held a women’s day
and organized county federation; Don-
ley county organized eight rural
clubs; Hale. Lubbock. Armstrong have
county federations. The Hale county
federation is conducted on the same
plan as a state federation and is one
of the strongest factors for good in ths
entire county.
"In the second disret Miss Griffing
of Dallas has succeeded in getting a
law passed granting the commission-
era the right to take over the finan-
cial responsibility of the Dallas county
rest room. Dallas county has organ-
pronounced a aplened success, and a
decided credit to the club women of
our hostess city.
"Thia convention was quite A de-
parture from the regular custom ow
ing to the fict that the usual number
of "convention speeches" were elimi-
nated and the time given over to the

practical one was evidenced by th
fact that the delegatee entered freely
into the discussion of the reports ane

ideas and thus bringing out and put-
