Precipitation in the southern plains, the committee reported, is below normal in 47 of 101 counties. 2,823 MISSING IN SINKING OF LINER Britain's Lancastria Struck By Gorman Bombs During Evacuation From )eiTios To Make Campaign Plans KIDNEY MEDICINES (Htca by Dvclwi VVhvn don't worx right, many proscribo two modicinci to bock- ocho. getting up burning leg and Joint DURETS contain two modleinoa, in aafo puro whito tablet.

Grand Island Session To Be Held Tuesday By State Committee state democratic committee will meet in Grand I.sland next Tuesday to administrative officers and formulate plans for the general election campaign, William A.

Schall, Omaha, state chiAiman announced Thursday. High on the agenda is the question of finance. It is considered possible that the democrats may adopt a funds solicitation program similar to that now being used by the republicans. All contributions come into a central agency and are then apportioned out to help the cau.se of the party ticket and the various candidates. Pre-meeting dope had it that the vice chairman of the state committee would likely go to a Lincoln member.

It is considered unlikely, however, that the committee will name any state campaign manager since that work probably will be handled by Schall and James C. Quigley, national committeeman. The state committee is comprised of 86 members, a man and a woman from each of the 43 legislative districts. Lancaster county members are: Frank Golden, Katherine N. Beattie; James L.

Brown, Dr. Sylvia L. Ashworth, C. L. Clark and Elsie Cre.ss.

The meeting will be called to order at 2 p. m. at the Yancey hotel. F. Hamilton Taken By Death Officer Of Omaha Paper Company; Funeral Will Be Saturday John F.
