President Shoemaker Gratified.
| Mr.. Louis P. Shoemaker, president of the
| organization, said to Star reporter that
| it was a source of general satisfaction to
| him to be able to note the success attained
| by the club and library. Many social en-
| tertainments have been given by the club
| to it's members and friends, he said, at con-
| siderable expense. but the members nave
| not as yet been called upon to pay mora
| than the dues as provided by the coilsltu-
| ton.
| 1T often happens" he added that mem
| bers of such a social organization are taxed
| far beyond the amount they originally IN
tended to nav and in TINS way the HeHlpei-
! shin becomes a burden.
1.-The earnest and hearty support given
| the Takoma Club and library by the people
| of Takoma furnished the best evidences Vi
| satisfaction with their place of residence
and desire to advance and perpetuate
their already admirable surroundings III
no other advantage had been attained than
that which inures through the medium OF
such an organization to the youth of our
community that alone would be more than
sufficient to justify its existence and en-
courage It's members to willingly incur the
expense and yield that moral support which
is so necessary to promote the success OF
such an undertaking..
The furnishings of the club house are
larged from time to time by the donations
of rugs books, pictures, oil pa ntingS and
bric-a- brac, in addition to articles of furni-
ture. For this purpose special committee

ernors. The walls of the club are already
