NO RAIN IN EIGHT MONTHS.
Gaylord Community Suffers From
Long Dry Spell.

Gaylord, Kan, May 20.-The con-
tinued high winds in this section of
the country and dry weather in a
short time will destroy growing crops,
especially wheat. Corn is just coming
up and is in no immediate danger, but
wheat needs rain badly.
There has been no general moisture
in this part of the state for eight
months, the winter having brought no
snow and the spring no general rains.
1t will take large amount of rain to
put crops in a normal condition.

CAN'T GET ENOUGH TEACHERS

Sought by Schools.

Manhattan, Kan, May 20.-More
than rs Kansas towns have asked the

supply. Twenty of the senior girls in
the domestic science work already have

The suffrage convention in Topeka
this week, was the big event of the
season in club affairs, outside the fed
Grafton meeting in Independence in
May. The suffrage cause has come to
be identified with the cause of the
women's clubs; for, while not all active
cIuo women are suffragistS, there are,
nevertheless, very few active suffra-
g1sts outside of club circles. A good
deal has been said about lack of har-
mony among the members and the fu-
tflity of faction fighting in the ranks
OF those who are working for a COM
mon cause. However, there never was
and never will be, any organization in
which there was not a diversity of
opinion among the members. There
must be parties, or there would be no
advance in plans of wOrk-it would
simply mean stagnation and lack of
earnestness. The best of it is, in this
association, the difference in opinion
results in no dissension in tn franks.
Those whose policies were defeated at
the convention, expect to continue
their work for the cause that has been
close to them always, and their spirit
in accepting the will of the majority.
