According *to information col-‘ lected by the Board of Governors in their investigations, the purpose and | plan of forming the nn-mlm:,hini council is described as follows: The membership council is a plan devised some years ago by the Chi- means to secure the interests of members generally in the affairs of the oreanization, to find out th imwls of the various groups of mem- {bers, and also to afford an effective means for the directors to obtain an exp ion of opinion from the mem- bership.

That attendance would ave looked mighty good out at the Lakeland grandstand when the Col- pnels were here—especially to the uarantors who coughed up a 67.8 per cent deficit. Ruby Cole and George Herrington, wo small white boys, are in jail oday charged with larceny. It eems that they have been doing onsiderable petty thievery and have iven the police a great deal of trouble. Cole is about 15 years old and is the son of G. W. Colg, who died two years ago or more. Her- rington is only ten or eleven years of age, and is the son of W. M. Herrington, who lives north of town. He has figured in numerous es- capades, and last night was caught robbing the grocery store of Smith Bros., from whjch he had previously stolen a larged number of contest votes, and other articles. As the boys seem to be incorrigible, ar- rangements are being made to send them to the State Reform school, and this disposition will probably be made of their cases. MR.

It is obvious that the idea of hav-' ing representatives from the various classifications and divisions is to| eliminate the indefiniteness that usually applies to general member- ship matters. Under the old form or | {organization, it is often found im-| practicable to bring into the mm-t-i ing of the membership all of the va-| rious interests pepresented in the membershi. About the same men | usually attend the meetings, gener- ally not more than ten per cent of 'the membership, and it is always; questionable whether action taken | t such meetings represents lhr-‘ !views of the entire membership. ! : Originally it ywas customary to ap-j | point delegates to the membership ! ! council but experience has proved | that when they are elected they fecl | more responsibility, and naturally | they are more conscientious about | attending all meetings. | This is the first of the new plans to be made public. Within the next | week plans concerning each general group of membership will have been completed and officially announce.! | Varjous members of the Board of authority for the before have | they seen so much interest being taken in any movement started by Board of Trade.
