POOL SENDS OUT
PAMPHLET ABOUT
VOMANSUFFRAGE
Restraining Order of Lancaster
County District Court Not
Broad Enough to Cover
the Controversy.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 1. (Special.)
Despite the fact that he has been
temporarily restrained by the Lancas
ter district court from placing on the
November election ballot the referen
dum proposition to prevent women
from voting under the partial suffrage
law enacted last year, Secretary of
State Pool apparently must go ahead
and print and mail the pamphlet on
that subject to about 330,000 Nebraska
voters. Absent soldiers and sailors
are included in this number.
It was estimated at the secretary of
state's office Wednesday that the to
tal number of mail enclosures to sol
diers and sailors will reach about
12,000.
The court order instructs Pool not
to certify the referendum proposition
to county clerki until further notice
from the court. Nothing is said in
restraining order about holding up
the preparation and distribution of the
pamphlets. The expense of this un
dertaking is estimated at $5,500 and
Mr. Pool would like to avoid this if
possible.
The names of local candidates run
ning for primary nominations in
Arthur, Colfax, Stanton and Washing
ton counties will not appear in the
special pamphlet being sent to sol
diers and sailors, owing to the failure
of the county clerks of these coun
ties to send in the lists.

In the Ringling Brothers' circus
which is to exhibit here Wednesday.
August 7, at 20th and Paul streets,
are the Wirths, the Clarks, the Mc
Crees, the Davnports, the Rooneys
the Nelsons, the TyBells and many
others whose grandfathers and great
grandfathers wore the spangles of
the "white-tops." It is the rule rathe,
than the exception for the son or
daughter of a performer to follow in
the footsteps of his parents. As soon
as they leave school the children join
their elders, to be put through the
mysteries of their first somersault or
to first feel the yielding back of a
horse beneath their feet. This is the
way the "business" is kept up. The
teachers are the most willing in the'
world, for each parent lives in- the
hope that his child may become a
greater performer than himself. This
season there are 400 performers with
the Ringling circus and out oP this
number a census taking would dis
cover that the total includes no less
than thirty-four families.
The aristocracy of the family ex
tends to those who play leading parts

UNCLE SAM CALLS
500,000MEN FOR
WAR INDUSTRIES
Nebraska Quota 4.185, Iowa
5,805; State Directors to
Apportion Total Among
Local Districts.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 1. Allotments
of quotas of unskilled labor to be fur
nished by the various states to war
industries during the next two months
under the system of government re
cruiting put in effect today under the
United States employment service
were announced tonight by the De
partment of Labor. By assigning
quotas of unskilled laborers to be fur
nished in each state, the employment
service took the first step in meeting
the shortage of common labor esti
mated by reports received today as
approximating 500,000.
Among the state quotas announced
are the following:
Iowa, 5,805.
Kansas, 5,175.
Nebraska, 4.185.
South Dakota, 1,360.
Wyoming, 900.
The quotas, it was said, are the net
requirements of the various war in
dustries and do not make allowance
for extra needs or for labor turnover.
Complete returns of the labor needs
are expected by August 15, and when
the estimates made at that time are
tabulated, a supplemental list of
quotas will be issued. State directors
of the employment service were in
structed today to begin immediately
the apportioning of the state quotas
among the local districts.
PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
M. O. Macleod, cashier In the office of the
clerk of the district court, leaves today for
a two weeks' vacation, which he will pass
fishing on the Elkhorn river.
