VOTED ON SUFFR0E
Federation Of Woman's Clubs Turned
Down Favorable Resolution

Down Favorable Resolution
Aberdeen-By a vote Of 16 to 20, the
South Dakota Federation of Woman's
Clubs in session in this city refused
to give its official sanction to the
woman suffrage cause, a resolution
endorsing the pending amendment
to the constitution of the state.
giving women the privilege of the
ballot, being rejected by that vote.
1T is only fair to state, however, that
number Of delegates were not In the
convention hall when the question was
brought up. Also, some of the advo-
Gates Of equal suffrage felt the fedora
ton should not be brought into the
campaign as a body. These explana-
lions are given by suffragists who fear
the vote of the federation will have
an adverse influence on public senti-'
ment, and are probably correct. 1t Is
known that representatives of the
South Dakota Equal Suffrage associa-
ton privately urged the delegates not
to attempt to have the federation en-
dOrse the suffrage amendment this
year, but the more eager suffrag1sts,
believing majority Of the club wom-
en- want the ballot, insisted upon put
ting the question to vote.
The convention concluded it's de-
alterations yesterday by electing Of
ficers as follows: President, Miss En-
ma Hall of Milbank; vice president,
Mrs. Housman of Dell Rapids; CORE
spending secretary, Mrs. Zfllah Wilson
of Aberdeen; recording secretary, Miss
Robinson of Pierre; treasurer, Mrs.
Mona Reeve of Flandreau; auditor.
Mrs. Mary AIKEN of Flandreau; general
federation secretary, Mrs. H. E. Hend-
rick of Sioux Falls; eastern division
correspondent, Mrs. Belle Butterield
of Mitchell; western division CORE
spondent, Mrs. Claribel Tillotson OF
Lennon.
The convention was one of the most
largely attended in the history of the
federation, and the sessions were all
very busy ones. Under the constitu-
ton, none of the retirin gofacers could
be reelected, but the work of the Of
ficials was given fattering endorse
ment.

Pierre-Another big irrigation prof.
ect for the western part of the state
is one of the possibilities of the near
future in the vicinity of Rapid City.
S. R. Green, assistant state engineer
is now working on Box Elder creek in
the vicinity of Blackhawk, not far
from Rapid City. 1t is claimed that
the possibilities at that place are al
most equal to those of the Belle
Fourche project, and that the govern
ment work at one time hung between
the BlackhawlI and Belle Fourche
projects. This present work by the
state is attracting the people of that
part Of the state and they are doing
all they can to help aong the survey.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form OF humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
IN a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. l was

totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, would

short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
