Trouble is brewing within the suffrage
ranks notv and tho city central commit
tee had tetter "watch out" It started
innocently enough nt a meeting of tho
Omaha Suffntso association held nt the
home of Mrs. Joseph Duffy yesterday
afternoon, when motion was msdo to
empower the propaganda commltleo to
purchase suffrage literature for distri
bution. Whereupon some level headed
luslness woman minted to know why It
was necessary to purchnsn the literature
when It could be obtained nt suffrage
readquarters free of charge.
Th stato executive committed should
furnish tho literature, having been prom
ised $100 per month from tho national
fund should n certain number of petitions
bo secured, with which condition wo com
piled," said Mra. D. G. Craicliead.
t don't believe Omaha la Included,"
nld Mrs. deorco Ullgli, "since It Is pre
sumed that Omaha would finance Its
own campaign."
Why Is that," sotnoono else wantod
to know. "Isn't Omaha In tho state of
Nebraska -r
The Jttouble Is that Individually, wo
con't know' enough about the workings
of thpi business. Wo ought to learn,"
Nouchafed'M.rs. Gtorgo Covcll.
'Isn't thre rotne member of the city
ntral committee' present who can tolt
about thlsT' nsKed Mrs. It. K. Mo-i-.clvy,
who presided In tho absvtiae of
the president, Mrs. S. A. Capon.
"Why, you're n member, Mrs. Mo
Kelvy," chorused all the members
Present
"I don't know anything about It, I'm
sUre," replied Mrs. McKelvy, "I haven't
been called to any" meeting but once." '
Memhora nt Sfon.
I'pon Investigation, It developed that
other members of tho city central com.
inlttea present Mrs. Covnll, Mrs. Craig
head and Mrs. C. B. Ilartwlck, were a
much nt sen, so that a commlttco of In
formation, Including Mrs. Jcannetto Mo
Donald, chairman; Mrs. Covcll and Mrs.
1. U Mcllvalnc, waa appointed to find
out Just what was the status of theso
committees which comprised tho central
one.
Tho women then took up the matter of
nettings In tho parks, which had bocn
announced as the summer program. Ono
uch meeting was held at Hanscom park
two weeks ago, hut the women had boon
told that In order to hold nnothor soch
meeting, a permit from Tark Commis
sioner Hummel must be forthcoming.
Mrs. Ilcllvalno was appointed to write to
Mr. Hummel asking for permission,
which she did about a weolc ago, but sho
had received no word from Mr. Hummel
up to date.
"Ono of the papers said that' ho was
waiting for the women to como and ask
for tho uso of tho parks, so that ho
m'.d refuse It," ventured ono timidly, ,
"Why, I read that same report and 1
interpreted It i.0 mean that ho waa favor-
nbjo to our plan," replied another
"Well, If he Is waiting, ho can continue
to wait as far as I am concerned' snld
"We can hold meetings at
the homes of our members as we hae
done In the past."
The vote that was finally taken was
very uncertain, but Mrs. Mcllvnlne was
announced as chairman of a eommlttee
to wait on Mr. Hummel ami discover
whether the parks might be used by
them.
Mrs. 1). G. Craighead teld of the ex
periences on recent suffrage automobile
tours through the ntnto and Miss Jean
liette McDonald of tho Omaha High
school, gave the history of tho state edu
cational work.
Music and recitations were giver, by tittle
Miss Kvelyn Vorc pnd .Mrs. W. K. Shafcr.!

LIBRARY CIRCULATION
GREATER THAN LAST YEAR'S
Judging by circulation statistics of (he
public library for the first five months
of 19H, this year's circulation record will
be much greater than that of 1913. Up to
Juno I, over 157,000 books had already
been Issued for homo use. On that basis,
Librarian IWltli Tobltt estimates that the
total circulation for UM will bo mora
than ,0t volumes, as compared to 3S7,
000 for 1913. Last year's circulation was
the greatest In the history of the Institution.
Rainfall for June
Far Ahove Average
Forecaster Welsh of the weather bureau
has made up his weather data for Juno
of this year, and In some particular
shows that It waa an extraordinary
month. For Instance, there was moro
precipitation than usual. The normal for
Juno Is 6.05 Inches, but during the June
Just passed the rainfall aggregated 7.01
Inches. The greatest precipitation during
any twenty-Jour hours was during Juno
6-0, when it reached SLOT Inches. Since
1811 there have been but six Junes when
there was a greater rainfall than during
tho last June.
So far as temperature was concerned,
tho Juno of 1914 was a pretty hot Juno,
Its mean being 75 vlegrees, while tho nor
mal during thirty-five years has been 71.6
High Prices Held
Responsible for
Low Grain Totals
Ileeelpta of grain In Omaha during Juno
Jtst closed wero much less than during
tho corresponding month of one year ngo,
duo probably to tho high prices that
maintained during tho early part of tho
present year, causing everything to bo
hurried away to market. As a remitt of
tho decline In receipts the stocks In stor
ago arc tho lowest In years.
