ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT OF MISSOURI HOME MAKERS' CON- 

 FERENCE. 



(Mrs. N. H. Gentry, Sedalia, Missouri.) 



AVe are just entering our fourth year in Home 

 Economics, and our work is acknowledged by all 

 a success. A hearty welcome is extended to all — 

 the faces we have met here for the past years 

 look home-like and pleasant. The new ones show 

 our work is growing, and they, too, are interested. 

 AVe are making friends we shall never forget ; let 

 us try and keep them. AVe are learning truths 

 that will stay with us always. Let us be as one 

 person, each knowing all each other knows — each 

 Mrs. Gentry. being interested in the vital things of life — each 



one striving to be better wives, mothers, friends and home makers.
