GAIN IN NEW MEMBERS.
what the Different r. l.. A. Divisions
show

Missouri divisi-n is rightly named the
Banner division OF the association. Mem
hership CT Missouri division on Nav j,
1898, was 1887; on May /, 1889, they num-
heled 232S-the increase in membership
for the year being 30i. Iris increase is
larger than that OF any other division and
entities Missouri to the horns The menu
bers Of Missouri division have decided
10 continue il. the lead and make the horns
a permanent fixture of their new quarters.
indiana division Is second to Missouri in
both membership and gain for the year
While they have never been dangerously
near the banner State, the Missouri boys
nave always felt the necessity of humping
10 keep away from those hustling HOLSTERS
lndiana's net gain Tor the year OF 49, is
very fine, being only 1863 less than Mis-
souri's. but they have Missouri badly beat
en- on posts, having nineteen houlishins
posts as against the large number OF five in
the banner State. 1t is good 10 have your
membership scattered throughout the
state, and it Is hoped that Missouri divis-
ion will organize few more posts the
coming year.
Illinois follows Indiana in gain. also
membership. Last year Indiana passed
Illinois and has steadily Increased her
ieal; but things sometimes take turn aud
pei maps lIlllOlS VIII eaten the Holsters
and show them her heels before another
year Is past. The membership of Illinois
on Nav was 1882 a net gain OF 49, for
the year. Illinois Is also strong on posts,
having the uniucky number OF thirteen I'm
twelve gooi towns, Chicago boasting Of two
posts with combined membership OF 553,
oil which oSl belong to post C--post y hav.
ing only -, These two posts ought to
consolidate and work together as post n

After Illinois comes Texas with menu
oership of 1908, a gain tor the year OF l2S.
Ihey gave Illinois pretty close run for
thlrd place, losing out by only four. This
is a splendid showing tor the Lone Star
state and if they keep up the good work
down there, those Texas horns will again
get back to Texas
The old State OF Kentucky has made a
splendla increase for the year, following
Texas with l2l net gain. The Louisvill )

that Kentucky would make a. gain of POI

almost Kept their promise. and as thew

work Being Done by the Texas
Division.

Mr. Howard Peak OF the Texas division.

the following address at the Louisville
conventions
TO the President Ladies and Gentlemen
Of the National Association OF T. z. AS
Assembled at Louisville.
u is with pleasure that we greet you
here today in our Old Kentucky Home,
and with view OF consuming but little
OF your valuable time | desire to BRIEFLY
touch on a few OF the important points
that have characterized the progress OF
our division the past year shall no.
attempt to give details as these will be
rendered by our State secretary, who
has run the machinery with the skilled
facility OF a trusty and watchful en-
gineer.
We have taken in about 800 new mem
bers since our Omaha meeting having
membership close on TO 1900, thus re-
tanning our position as fourth in the Ma
tional association.
Chief among the amendments to our
constitution is, in my mind a very
thoughtful and generous clause. which
permits all ex-presidents the right of floor
ana vote at any OF our directors meet
ings,
We are still carrying on our part OF
the work OF looking after the needy, and
the number OF orphans located through
out our state has grown TO rely on the
travelling men as substantial friends who
are ever ready to respond to their crying
needs.
IN October. as is our custom, we meet
from all parts of the State al the Texas
state fair and Dallas exposition at Dallas
and have grand reunion day This year
VIII be eycelied in point OF grandeur, as
all travelling men, irrespective OF society.
VIII unite as one body and celebrate the
occasion with speeches, song and gaiety;
and eliminating with festival under the
auspices OF the Grand Order OF Kaliphs.
In behalf OF that broad gagged. intelligent
and whole souled man. the president-eieet
Of the Texas delegation, Dan M. Lasker. J
cordially invite all of you to visit MS on
this occasion.
That which gives us more pride than
all other events is the birth OF our Texas
baby, Il has red hair and blue ewes and
ereeis YOU with a broad smile. I refer

tlcmanly man of pleasing address--yea, OF
extremely Jolly nature He was one whom
we all loved. but death took him from us.
