for diseases of sheep. "All thc.-e

we must consider their needs," he
said.
A'l effort is being made bv the
to'e

til every county, turougli which re

Uuring the business meeting:,
which preceded the address of Mr.
Antics, who appeared under the
auspices of the political and social
science department of the club, the
iollow'.ng resolution was adopted:
Pass Economy Resolution.
Whereas. Present conditions in
the economic world are a menace
to the nation, and believing as we.
do, that much of the high cust of
living with its consequent unrest
is the result of shortage of supply,
"Therefore be it vesohed. That
we endorse the Nebraska Kconomic
campaign designed to enlist the vol
untary co-operation of all the people
in reducing the prevailing costs by
careful conservation and economical
living and that we give our support,
to the "Work and Save" movement."
While this resolution was under I
discussion Mary I. Creigh .sug
gested that before the mass meet
ing 'Thursday, some thought he giv
en to the words of the resolution i
which charge that much of the high
cost of living is the result of short- j
age of supply. She told stone,
which illustrated reckles extrava- ,
rjance hy agents of the government j
during the war, intimating that such j
gross mismanagement of expeudi i
tures had brought about high prices,
unrest and general unsatisfactory
conditions. Mrs. William M"rry
supported Mrs. Creigh's eontruthms
with pointed illustrations. i
Discuss York Meeting. J
A letter from Mrs. John Slake r "f

farm tor women which has been
located within 5 muinte?,' walk from
the center of the city of Yoik.
"l"n ere has been a serious mistake."
she warned, "in locating this tarm
so near tire city. It is bad both
for the town and for the girls who
will reside on the farm. This was
the opinion r-ypressed hy many who
