Lead Movement

Members Of the Missouri colony in
Los Angeles yesterday enjoyed trip
over the Balloon route of the Los An
Reles Pacific. 1t was Missouri day
through the courtesy OF Manager
Pierce, the trip was made and all who
were fortunate enough to go voted it
o. success.
The excursion was made as a pre-
lininary movement toward the reor-
ganization of the state society, and it
resulted quite as favorably as could
have been desired. The conductors, al
ways genial, witty and vivacious, sur
passed themselves in their efforts to
make everybody have a good time.
The large and well assorted stock of
jokes of varying ages and uncertain
origin, were placed on tap and made
to sparkle and effervesce with zest
which stamped them brand new.
There was no set program for the
Missourians yesterday. The chief OBJ
ject was to get acquainted with every
body, and especially to arrange for an
early meeting for the purpose of re-
organizing the state society. DIR. G.
Jackson. the first president of the So
eiety was with the company and ex-
pleasure of all. The society was or
ganized about two years ago with a
membership Of more than two hundred
resident Missourians. Like other state
societies, however, it ran well for a,
season, only to drop and finally lose
its identity. 1t was no fault of its
president that interest tagged in the
society, and now that an effort is be-
ing made to revive 1t he Is jealous in
his efforts to that end
AS has been outlined in The Herald
there is to be made an attempt TO es-
tablish general headquarters for all of
the state societies. 1t Is believed that
some central and easily accessible To-
cation may be found where the rolls
of all of the state societies may be
kept, where visitors to the city may
register and have access to the lists
in order that they may find friends
and be found by them. In short, the
aim will be to establish something of
a free information bureau. While. en-
route yesterday the Missourians talked
over the scheme at length and de-
cided to issue a call at an early date
for representatives of the different
state societies to meet to devise ways
and means for some such cooperative
arrangement. Dr. Jackson will be
asked to take the initiative In this ar
rangement.
