good bookkeeping. but some OF the enc

lie think the organization had lost all
the members who did not renew imme-

The league officials do not expect to
nave the membership rolls show an in
crease until the LIST Of June at least, on
account of these lapses OF membership.
put from that time on 1t has been found
that the memberships are again taken
up In almost as large numbers ne when
