The Department knew that the clubs, once organized, would do the rest.

Nor was it disappointed.
The Government asks the co-operation of women in its latest work of conserving natural resources.

At the biennial of the Federation of Women's Clubs in 1906 Mr.Enos Mills delivered an address on forestry, a movement which was beginning to engage the attention of the clubs.
Within an hour after he left the platform Mr.Mills had been engaged by a dozen state presidents to lecture to clubs and federations.

As soon as it reached the Government that the women's clubs were paying fifty dollars a lecture to learn about forestry work, the Government arranged that the clubs should have the best authorities in the nation to lecture on forestry free of all expense.
But the Government is not alone in recognizing the power of women's organizations.

If the Government approves their interest in public questions, vested interests are beginning to fear it.
