MAY ISSUE ELK SCRIP.
This Plan for Building Club House
Now Being Considered.

An issue of $50, 900 worth of scrip
bearing probably from 4 to per cent
interest, is the scheme which is being
considered for the financing OF the
new club house which the Elks pro-
pose to erect.
I'VE have been considering various
plans said Mayor W H. Davis, who
is on the committee in charge Of the
arrangements being made for the
erection and financing or the pro-
posed club house. I'VE had thought
of making up a stock company and
issuing stock, but that would have
the objection against It or having the
control in other hands than the lodge
itself The proposition which meets
with most favor Is the scrip plan.
There are plenty of the members VINO
would take probably $500 of the
scrip and others of course would take
smaller amounts"

the students of the Kansas university
at Lawrence hunted and killed birds

F. Smith of Lawrence before the IIli-
nOis state horticultural meeting held in

out permission OF the land owners.

Illinois society to read a paper on the
subject of Evolution of Transporta-
ton and Marketing Of Fruits was a

had 100 acres IN fruits. He went to
