Some ImpoFtsnt SaggsstiOns froE the
President of the Club.
To THE HOWARD CLUB-I want to thank
our most worthy chairman of the execu-
tive committee for his very valuable letter
in last issue which l am confident will
prove agreeable to all. most heartily in
dorse it, especially the important facts
stated about constitution. badge and our
next reunion, which am sure you will
consider favorably.
Our recording secretary, Mrs. Older. has
kindly consented to mai free to every
member a copy OF the constitution with an
application blank, which viii greatly as
sist you in the work of rapidly increasing
our membership. We hope that every
member will speedily bring friend to the
club. / believe all can do this ere the re-
union. Let us do our best. Time spent
in the interest of the club is time well
spent.
Five hundred copies of the constitution
were printed. All members who can use
more than one copy 10 advantage may
have them upon application, with stamp,
TO the recording secretary. Officers will
keep q supply on hand to use as oppor-
tunity affords.
Are you al ready for our new badge? It
is certainly very beautiful and very cheap.
II has cost your officers no small amount
of time and labor. 1t costs you but SIPS.
Mr.. Jacobs has been very fortunate both
In price and design. The club is Under
many obligations 10 him. Cannot every
member make IL convenient to buy
badge at once? And let us one and ali
take wider, deeper interest in the well
fare OF the club. Type and symbol be-
long 10 earth; let as honor them, the di-
vine reality of noble deeds to heaven.
Attention. ] have something special
10 tell you. At SIPS each for the badge
there is practically no profit left to the club,
after cost of mailing is paid. On condi-
ton that 100 are paid for at once the
manufacturer has agreed to make a spe-
cial discount, and the Greencastle jeweler,
OF whom our chairman secures badges,
gives the club his services in securing ex-
ceptiOnally low terms free of charge-no
per cent. Whatever This proposition, if
you will be kind enough to advance the
money so that it can be accepted, will
place q snug sum in the II. l.. {. treasury
which would otherwise accrue to the
manufacturer and jeweler. Every penny
OF the profit thus made would 20 into the
treasury. Mr.. Jacobs desires me to in
Quire If q sufficient number of members
will advance the money for their badges
$l.25 each-to enable us to buy 100
discount. | am glad to serve
sibIe. 1 believe you are, too
Therefore, request you to send your
badge money 10 me Immediately. con-
eeious of the fact that it will not do me

Let me persuade those who intend buy
ing badges soon TO do so now. Please Do

IN securing the extra discount. Under
stand Sl.25 is the established uniform
price OF badge. Il can, OF course, be Sc
cured at any time. There will be a con-
slant demand for them from new mem
bers But the sooner present members
are supplied the better. Friends, it is for
you to say whether / shall realize my
most earnest desire that the club receive
this extra discount Let none delay in
sending me their badge money. Kindly
consider me emphatic on this point. Adj
dress as below. / am informed that 100
badges will be ready for us as soon as We
raise the money for them.
Please read again the reunion paragraph
of your chairman's letter of last week.
Facts well stated. He also desires my
opinion about the time and place OF the
reunion. which il seems proper to respect
fully submit to the club. The t!sca
think. should be during the last hall OF
August. The place, the Indiana natural
gas belt. believe that no place in the
state. or out OF it, will insure a larger at
tendance at reunion than Muncie, Ind.
therefore, / desire the reunion to be held
ct Muncie.
have given you my suggestions TO the
executive committee, who will decide the
time and place of reunion in favor of
msjority OF the advices received by your
chairman from members who will attend.
This verdict will meet my hearty approx
ri. whether IL comedies with my wishes or
not.
