With the annual convention but two weeks off, and its program already lssued, mem- Dbers of the Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs are beginning to have a thought for the Columbus meeting and to post them- selves regarding the matters that are to come up there for settlement. Last year the question of finances was the all important thing, and while that matter Was by no means settied to the entire satis- faction of all, a temporary adjustment wa effected and as a result the same question presents itself again this fall, only in other form and under another name, as & set of amendments to the constitution and bylaws of the federation. Of these proposed amendments, one that provides for & bienulal instead of an an- nual meeting of the federation 1s of chief importance; in fact, this amendment, with two exceptions, practically occasions all the others. We are told that the primary cause for this proposition is that the\imcome of the organization is not sufficient to enable the executive committee to carry om its work properly and still have sufficient funds for » suitable program. In years past it has been necessary for each administration to draw on the dues pald In advance for the next year to meet and settle the expenses of its term. Last year's administration determined to correct this evil and by dint of economy and the elimination of some things, among them the year book, the deficit was made up and the present year begun with all of its rightful funds available. Out of this has come the running expenses of the federation, which does not imclude the traveiing or other expenses of members of the exeeutive board, which has to meet at least once each year. Of the year's expenss, $70 for the makeup and malling of the year bodk and §84 allowed for the comveation afford to give It. tional dollar is added to the dues, come will still be inadequa: of the federation's busine double the present allowance items from the two years' income. There are few It any in Bo apeakers, however fine, meetings together, than they would gain by ment. tion, quently beld up in support of which meets but biennlally, the our state, jority, for the women of the state track and forget so much in the interval spite of the efforts of executive board, it seems tmpoesible for them to keep in touch with the affairs of the state fed- toat, eration.

The members of the executive board, and even of the constitution comuittee, are by | no means agreed as to the wisdom cf the | plan for the biennial meeting, some of ths most experfenced and in closest touch with the women and the clubs of the state feel- ing that the time is not yet ripe for such a step. In fact, they feel that it never wili be and attention is called to the frequency with which the meetings of some of the | largest and most successful federations hold some of them as often as | four times u year; but, of course, they can afford it. Another Feature of Amendment. The proposed amendments include an- other proposition that is intended to keep up the interest of the women in the interval between meetings. This provides for a vice president for each of the six com- gressional districts of the state, who shall have general supervision cver the clubs of their respective districts, to encourage the extension of club work and the organizatiog of local or distifct federations whereever possible. To such an arrangement there seems to be no objection, in fact, the women feel that supplementing ths present system it would materlally strengthen the interest in and effelency of the club work of the state, but with the blennial meeting Iits tendency would be to localize the Interest. Another amendment propesed to article X of the comstitution is especially objection- able to many. That article now reads: “This constitution may be amended at any meeting of the State Federation by a two- thirds vote of those present, notice of the proposed amendment having been printed in the year book and also appended to the call of the meeting.” The proposed amend- ment reads: “This constitution may bs would seem that the propesed change would only reduce the opportunity or the proba- bility of such changes being thoroughly un- derstood by these who must make them and be most affected by them. To be sure, the women are supposed to be able to grasp the significance of any proposition they may be voting upom, but experience has proven that this is not always the case. The proposed plan would practically de- prive the women of any means of knowing or investigating proposed amendments until they came up to be voted upon, rave as announced by circular letter, which falls far short of reaching all the women. Rogarding the payment of dues, another change is proposed that provides a very much more business like way of handling the funds of the federation. Section v of article I of the bylaws reads: “The treas- urer shall collect and hold all moneys and shall render such account of same as the beard of directors shall require. She shall make an annual report to the federation.” The proposed amendment reads: “The re. cording secretary shall receive all mone: collect the dues and pay the same over to the treasurer, taking her receipt therefor. She shall draw all orders on the treasurer and attest the same. Awful Po y.

Tomato canners, in have found It impossible to deliver fhelr sales n foil, many of them Teporing that they are 25 to 75 per cent short, and in isolated cases even worse. Few of them will deliver in full. The result has been an advance of 10c per dozen for western packed tomatoes and the eastern market dlso shows an advance of 10c over prices ruling two weeks ago. In corn the sitna- tion Is about as serious. The market can safely be quoted 5c per dozen above prices recently ruling, and many packers refuse to name any prices whatever. There has not been much change in the dried fruit market during the week. A few lines have been advanesd. but on ordinary grades there has been little, if any, change. The California Walnut association has made prices for this year's crop, and it is found that they are slightly higher than a year ago. Buylng is active and still higher prices are expected In the near future. The trade has found it a difficul* atter to provide for their wants in the line of oat meal.
