" Eome Advice.
TOO MANY CLUBS IN E ISTENCE
t
Time Takes from Other Work br the
Or(ilutlnni and MH the Situa
tion ia ot Ilettrred br
tha Result.
This Is tha election srasnn with the
Vomen'a clubs, and fany diverse views of
the advantages and disadvantages 6f clubs
generally are to be heard wherever club
women forgather. A woman who Is a pop
ular member of many clubs, In discussing
the pros and cons of membership, said to
the New York rout:
"My conviction at this time Is that we
have too many clu1s; they offer tempta
tions which tha ordinary woman cannot re
sist; I haven't been able to resist them.
nd most of my friends confess to the
same weakness that I have to confess.
Just a year afro I promised myself that
r.othlng would Induce ma to Join another
club. I was quit worn out by then by
club Interests and club affairs, yet during
that time I have joined two clubs in the
face of my resolutions. They are state
associations; In both Instances I attended
meeting; as an Invited guest In one case,
the club of my native state. I found some
friends I had not seen since girlhood, and
In my enthusiasm over my good fortune
In renewing old friendships I allowed my
name to be presented then and there for
membership. Same thing happened at an
other state meeting; I bad lived In that
Mate during my early married life, and
. here were some friends who had been
members of the first club I belonged to
In that distant state. I waa lost again
through sentiment, and have had Just that
much moro club responsibility all this
year.
"In trying to curtail the time that
- have give nto clubs In the past, I have
found myself In new difficulties, for I am
told 'now that you are not taking such
an acttvo part In club affairs you can take
the chairmanship of this and that commit
tee, which is not popular because It en
tails much hard work and very little credit
but you won't mind, for you are a seasoned
worker Not only that, but I am put on
committees of city, state and general fetlor
atlon affairs, which means that there will
be no letup In club affairs all summer long
If one la the least bit conscientious about
club duty.
Rot Apparent Always,
"Of course, all these drawbacks are not
so apparent early In the season when the
pleasure Is greatest In greeting old friends
and welcoming new members. Programs
that are Interesting and suggestive at the
beginning of the club season become flat
and tiresome when there have been six
months of club meet1 i with their enor
mous demand upon the time of members
who have any Interests outside of clubs,
and most women have not only Interests
but demanding duties.
"After all. I think It Is these elections
that Wing most of us to a state of irri
tation and pessimism; women are very like
men in their desire to hold office, only
women take the greatest satisfaction In
such honors, because it Is supposed to ex
press In tangible form the liking or adml-
ration of their friends; their power. In
most cases, amounts to very little. The
friends of candidates for the various of
fices In a club'-become' very active dnrlhg
the last six weeks of the club season, and
as the time of election approaches every
other interest Is apt to be subordinated to
that event.
'The situation grows better from year to
year, or there would be mora serious con
sequences; presidents are re-elected with
greater frequency In order to reduce com-
. petition to the minimum, and a number of
clubs have adopted the sensible course o
electing officers early In the club year.
(That system has the advantage of giving
members time during vacation to consider
tho larger view of the welfare of the club
and an Individual estimate of members
who may not have so many partisan
friond to 'work' lor them, but who have
liown many sterling qualities in their gen
irat attitude in club affairs. I believe in
women's clubs, and tha good work they
can do, and I want to keep my relation to
them on an active working basis, which Is
Impossible when you hold membership In
mora than you have time to give to their
Jterloua side, and that feeling is a growing
one among women who look to a club for
Inspiration and a spur to make good uBe of
tnulr time which they devote to clubs."
V. M. C. A. Coastltatloa.

tian association propose the following to

Monday will make a thorough Inspection of
the city hall and see where it is lacking In
ventilation, and make recommendation for
improvement of the same to Dr. R. W.
Connell, city commissioner of health. The
health commissioner In turn wilt embody
this report in a communication he will send
to the council Tuesday evening, asking
that something be done to make the city
hall more sanitary.
The health commissioner says he has
been unable to get sufficient fresh air in
the city hall.
Mayor Dahlman takes no Interest In the
fresh air crusade.
"If a lot of these objectors who work
from 9 o'clock In the morning until 5 o'clock
in the afternoon would get up a little
earlier in the morning and do an hour's
work In preparing their garden or in raking
dead leaves on their lawns, they would fill
their lungs with enough fresh air to last
for some time, and there would not be this
eternal wrangle about ventilation In the
city building," he says.

BETTER RATES ON FLAXSEED
Mllwaakee Gives Omaha Proportional
Rates to Chlcaao and Missis
sippi Klver.
The Milwaukee road has stepped to the
front for Omaha In an effort to establish
a stronger market here for flaxseed. Here
tofore Kansas City has enjoyed a better
rate to the Mississippi river and Chicago
than Omaha and efforts to work against
the better rate have been practically use
less. The Milwaukee lias put In the propor
tional rate on flax from Omaha to 'Chicago,
making the same rate apply as has been
enjoyed by Kansas City for some time.
Not only has the Milwaukee made the pro
portional rate apply from Omaha, but it
has arranged to reduce the rates on flax
seed from producing stations to Omaha,
thus giving Omaha a chance at even rates.
