Hopewell was a member of the Terre
Haute post, he was one of the best friends
the Indianapolis post ever had and was
always as much concerned over its inter-
ests as the members themselves. The de-
ceased will be especially remembered by
those who attended the recent state conven-
ton at Lafayette and were present at the
stormy sessions of the last day. When the

What was known as a harmony meeting
was held by a large number of the T. p
AS at the local clubhouse last Friday
night and, while the meeting at first was
threatened with almost everything else but
harmony and came near being a repetition
of the last session of the state convention,
affairs naturally adjusted themselves and
the session ended tremendously and with
common understanding as most meetings
of travelling usually do. The meet
ing was attended by both the unit and
anti-unit men and was called to reach some
KIND or an understanding as to the stand
the delegates should take on the unit rule
question at the national convention. No
definite plan was adopted for the delegates
and the meeting ended in a compromise
with the following resolutions:
'.Be il resolved by the members attend
ing the harmony meeting, held at Indian
apolis May 20, 1904, that the meeting re-
suited in much good to the association and
that we extend vote of thanks to our
honored state president, w. II. Wiley, for
calling said meeting"

1t can truthfully be said that without ex-
ception there is no one member of Post 3
who works more consistently or who has
| the interests of his organization more al
heart than Harry Hunter, one OF the d.
rectors of the post and secretary of the
| club. There is never a question of any
importance TO the post or club that he is
not consulted. He is we'll informed on all
points of the association, because he has
made Ii one of the studies of his life and
| he is we'll known in both the state and ma
| uonal organizations, because since he has
/ been affiliated with IL he has seldom missed
| one OF its conventions. He has the distinc-
| ton OF having occupied the presidents
| chair longer than any other one member
| having been Post BIS chief officer for -four
| years at different times. He was also presi-
| dent of the post at a time when il was
| threatened with adversely. and when the

safely through the storm. At one time HI
