Anticipate an Income.

IL was maintained by many that with
this addition to the board a sufficient num-
Der of new clubs would be brought into the
organization to more than make up the
additional expense. This did not satisfy
the others. but the measure was finally
carried and had been so declared when the
wording of the amendment was questioned
as not giving the district vice presidents
the privilege Of voting in the executive
meeting.
The parliamentarian was called upon and
decided that this was the cnse. owing to
the unfortunate wording OF the article, and
the women found that, though they had
intended including this privilege, through
a technicality the new officers could not
enjoy 1t until the expiration OF the year,
when the constitution, after due notice,
could be again amended.
IN amendment to the bylaws, providing
that all moneys and dues shall be paid to
the recording secretary, who shall pay the
same over to. the treasurer, was the only
other change Of Importance, after which the
election Of officers was taken up. resulting

rora: corresponding secre Iry, Mrs. Miller

Recommendation by Executive Board
The following recommendations we're
made by the executive board: That the
ofice of federation librarian be abolished
and all subsequent business OF that ma
tuTe to be left to the library extension
committee; that a committee of three be
appointed to investigate the proposed plan
for the establishment OF a monthly pub
location in the interest OF the federation,
which should be sent to all OF its mem
bers.
The credentials committee reported an
attendance larger than that Of any pre-
vious meeting, there being lis delegates
present, representing forty-seven towns
and itty-eight clubs. In addition to these
there were over 100 visitors.
1t was decided that the standing com
mittee OF household economics be made a
special committee to devise plans for Sc
curing an amendment to the present pure
food laws Of the state, together with an
appropriation sufficient for its proper main
enance.
Invitations were extended by Fremont.
Omaha and Fairbury to hold the next meet
ing in one of those cities. The decision

will on an average hatch three broods

An interesting case of unselhshness
came under our observation few days
ago. A robin was busy digging earth
worms on the lawn. A cock sparrow
who had a family to provide for near
by would follow the robin up, and
when a nice fat worm was unearthed
he would grab it before the robin
could swallow it and carry it off to
the young sDarrows. The funny thing
was that the robin did not seem to
mind this sort Of work in the least

H. NJ. ELEPHANT Says Statement Is
Misleading.
New York, June 24.-Presidene n.
NJ. Olyphant, Of the Delaware aud l4ud-
son Company, made the following ecm-
ment on tits statement Of President
Mitchell, OF he United Mine Workers
IF America, issued in reply to that of
ie operators in which the correspond
nee leading Up to the strike was made
public.
"MitchelPs statement is misleading
and unreliable as to facts and figures.
If Mitchell proposes to call ont the BIZ
luminous miners and paralyze the en-
lire industries of the country he will
nd that he has taken upon his should.
srs a job bigger than he is able to cope
with. There will be no SSbitration
that is certain. We will operate om
mines with the men that are on strike
now. They will be only too glad t.
come back, and no strike leader will
be able to Keep them out"
Mr.. OlyDhant declined to enter int
any detailed denial of the assertion
made by President Mitchell
Thomas P. Fowler, of the New YorH
Ontario and Western Company, said
Il have not had time to read Mitchell
statement. Therefore, of course,
have no comment to offer. When
have read it 1 may have something t
say"
