WOMEN AND THEIR BY LAWS
Nebraska State Federation Has Many
AmandmSnts to Act On.
CHANGES PROPOSED ARE IMPORTANT
Nature and Time of Meetings, the
Manner of Proposing Amend
ments and the Method of Col
IsOtinS Dues Are Involved.

with the annual convention but two weeks
on, and its program already Issued, mem
bsrs Of the Nebraska Federation OF Women's
Clubs are beginning to have q 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 settled to the entire salts
faction OF an. a temporary adjustment was
effeeted and as q result the same question
presents Itself again this fall. only In an
other form and under another name, as q
set Of amendments to the constitution and
bylaws OF the federation.
OF these proposed amendments. one that
provides for a biennial instead OF an an
nual meeting OF the federation Is 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\ income Of the
organization u not Sufheient to enable the
executive committee to carry on Its work
properly and still have suficient funds for
a suitable program. In years past It has
been necessary for each ADMINISTRATION to
draw on the dues paid in advance for the
next year TO meet and settle the expenses
Of its term.

correct this evil and by dint Of economy

OF OMAHk'ST TRADE
Volume Of Business Continues Unusually
Large for Even September.
SHARP ADVANCE ON SUGAR AND CHEESE
JObbers and Manufacturers Making
Big Preparations for Entertain
ing Their Customers Who At
tend the Fall Festivities.

Omaha jobbers and manufacturers were
looking for business TO be a little more
quiet last week than II has been for the
last few weeks owing to the near approach
of the fall festivities. As a general thing
the week or ten days preceding and follow
ing the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities are COM
paratiVelys quiet as the merchants who in
tend TO VISIT the market like to come dur
ing the carnival. This year, however, buy
events, and as a result jobbers in all lines
did a rushing business last week. Mer-
chants. as a rule, were in the best OF spirits
and showed their confidence in future busl-
ness by placing very liberal orders. Trade
with them so far this fall has been the
best they have ever had, and they look
for II to keep up throughout the winter.
Jobbers notice, too. that they are buying
a better grade OF goods even than they did
in the spring, which is taken as another
good indication OF the general prosperity
existing out through the country. Cheap
goods are no longer in demand and jobbers
say that for that reason everyone from
the manufacturer to the consumer is better
pleased. When cheap goods are In the big
gest demand complaints are always the
better grades are going into consumption
everything runs along smoothly. Taking
everything into consideration the, general
opinion seems to be that the trade situa-
ton I'm this territory was never as salts
factory as IT is at the present time.
There is no installing the fact that the
general tendency is TO haruen prices. That
applies to groceries. hardware. dry goods,
boots and shoes, furniture, agricultural,
implements and practically 10 every class
OF goods handled In Omaha. The high
prices. however. 10 not seem 10 curtail
business, for in a great many lines the
volume OF sales g limited only by the
ability TO secure stock. Those who are
posted all agree that so far as can be told
indications are favorable for present prices
being maintained indefinitely. Big crops
are being harvested all over the country
and are bringing high prices, 50 that plenty
OF money Is In sight 10 hold values at their

Omaha 1obbers are making extensive
preparations for spring business and the
now on the market. Some lines are
already being represented on the road by
salesmen of local houses and a few salts
factory orders have been taken.

Paints, oils and glass are also quoted the
same as they were a week ago and Tor

Prices Hardening on Leather Goods.
Wholesalers are still busy shipping out
houses have the bulk OF their advance
orders filled. A good many buyers are
arriving on the market and are placing
very liberal orders.
The recent advance in sole leather Is
causing prices to harden on all classes OF
| goods. Manufacturers say that they have
either got 20 ask more for their shoes or
else take something out of them, as they
cannot come out even on the present basis,
Local jobbers are starting their men out
with spring samples and as a rule prices
will rule a little stronger than they did a
year ago. In speaking OF the class OF
shoes that are selling TO the best advan-
tage a local jCbber said that a year ago
he had sale for all the low grade shoes
he could turn out, but now the demand Is
for a much better grade, Farmers in
stead OF buying shoes that cost 81 to $3.50
are now wearing those that cost from
81 TO $3.50. The same applies TO the city
trade and. as a result, the better grades OF
all classes Of shoes are selling to the best
advantage.
Fruits and
The demand for fruits continued very
liberal last week and prices did not
huctuate TO any great extent. Peaches,
plums, prnnes, pears and grapes are the
most popular lines. In another column

program are the chief items Of expense,
though the postage. printing and like items
for the work Of the standing committees
has amounted to considerable.
Income from Dues.
From the ninety-four clubs Of the fedora
ton there is an income of 81 for each club
Of nifty OF less and an additional dollar for
each additional fifty members or major
fraction thereof. At the Wayne meeting Il
was decided to raise the dues to SO, with
the same rate for additional members, but
as that does not go into effect until after
September is. 1bO2, a voluntary contribution
was asked in addition Of all clubs that could
anord to give 1t.
But, It lie said. that even after this addi-
tional dollar is added to the dues, the in
ZONE will still be inadequate to the conduct
OF the federation's business and provide a
program Of the character considered neces-
sary By some and so 1t is proposed to have
but one meeting in two years. to issue but
one year book in two years and so have
double the present allowance for those
items from the two years income.
There are few II any in the federation
who would not like to have, the best posi-
BILE talent brought to the state meetings,
that the best ideas and the best OF every
thing might be gotten there, but there are
those who are considering the state meet
ing from another side. and from these has
arisen strong opposition to a biennial meet
ing Of even a superlstive degree Of excel
lenee. they claiming that no attraction or
no speakers, however fine, presented only
once in two years. is equivalent in its bene-
fits to the women. to the inspiration and
the impetus they receive from their yearly
meetings together, exchanging ideas and
keeping In touch with each others work.
They feel that there is more In the meet
ing than in the program. for the present, at
least, and that the women would lose more
than they would gain by such an arrange
ment.

braska, and this In a smaller area, Iowa
has many more medium-siZed towns and
small cities. many OF them with thousands
where Nebraska's towns have hundreds OF
people, that naturally have facilities for
presenting educational and other progress
siye features that supply the general wants
OF the women in this line and naturally
creates a demand for a superior program
at the state meeting. In many CT the scat
tered smaller towns Of Nebraska there is
little in the way OF diversion or educational
entertainment aside from that provided by
the churches or the little bands of club
women, and while all would doubtless APP
~preeiate a fine biennial program, the ma
jority would doubtless prefer programs Of
the character OF those presented in the
past and presented more often.
The members Of the executive board, and
even OF the constitution committee. are by
no means agreed as to the wisdom CT the
plan for the biennial meeting, some of the
most experienced 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 hat It never will
be and attention is called to the frequency
with which the meetings Of some Of the
largest and most successful declarations hold
their meetings, some Of them as often as
four times a year; but, Of course. they can
afford 1t.
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 con-
gressional districts OF the state. who shall
have general supervision ever the clubs Of
their respective districts, to encourage the
extension Of club work and the organization
Of local or district declarations wherever
possible.
To such an arrangement there seems TO
be no objection, in fact, the women feel
that experimenting thS present system Il
would materially strengthen the interest
in and efficiency OF the club work Of the
state. but with the biennial meeting its
tendency would be 10 localize the interest.
Another amendment proposed to article y
Of the constitution 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

obscurity More obsoured.

After the experience OF the past and
well knowing the dif1culty in getting mat
tiers before all OF the clubs Of the state and
having propositions OF any kind thoroughly
understood by all, especially amendments
to the constitution, even when they have
been printed for a year in the year book
and appended to the call OF the meeting. It
would seem that the proposed 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 upon, 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.
Regarding 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 Nv Of
article / 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
