ing clubs in other populous centers
in the county. The work OF the dis
trict clubs will be separate from that

In announcing the plans for the or
ganization Of the clubs, Secretary
Coffman said:
1--WE are going to organize Hughes
clubs in every county, the object
being to get parent club in every
county seat with president, secretary
and treasurer, and vice president
from every precinct IN the county. In
addition, clubs will be organized in
every section Of the county sufficiently
populous. Tho presidents elected by
these organizations will be vice presi-
dents of the parent organization. The
different clubs will be run separately,
but county and suburban clubs will
belong to the central organization.
Meetings Of all clubs in every county
with the parent organization will be
held about twice monthly.
In addition to the Hughes clubs,
Young Mems Republican clubs will be
formed over the state in the same
manner that the Hughes clubs are or

Republican club may also be members
of the Hughes organization"

WAS COOL, WET MONTH
Rainfall During june Was Nearly Six
Inches at Topeka.

June, 1916, was chiefly remarkable
for the continuance of cool rainy
weather at Topeka, according to the
summary issued this morning by the
weather bureau. From the first Day
OF the month till the last two there
were only three DAYS when the tenn
perature averaged above normal, and
rain fell on an average OF almost TWO
days out of every three. 1t was not
quite as cool or as wet as June OF
last year. but in the thirty years that
the local weather has been kept only
five Junes have averaged cooler and
eight Wetter- Two-thirds Of the ram
fell in the night time and as a result
the sunshine was not noticeably DELI
cient. The average wind velocity was
about normal.
The detailed report gives the month
ly mean temperature as 70 degrees, or
3 degrees below normal. The high
est temperature was 90 on the 18th
and the lowest 81 on the 9Th. Meth
er of these extremes is unusual.
The total rainfall was 5.97 inches,
or 1.16 inches above normal, and the
greatest monthly amount at Topeka
since July of last year. Measurable
rain fell on twelve days.
The maximum wind velocity regis
tered was thirty-four miles an hour
from the east on the goth though there
were puffs of wind on the early morn
ing of the 26th that greatly exceeded
this in some parts of the city for
short interval of time. Nine days OF
the month were clear, sixteen partly
cloudy and five cloudy.
Outdoor work of all kinds was de-
layed by the abnormal amount of rain
and corn became weedy or account of
lack of opportunity to cultivate it but
all other crops made a fine growth.
Country roads and unpaved city
streets were almost impossible to au-
tomobiles a great deal of the time.
No threatening stages of the river
occurred.
