were held this morning. one Of the
finance committee and the other Of
the student committee. Action was
taken to adopt a budget of $4,000 to
carry on the state work for the fiscal
year, 1909. The student committee de-
cided to hold the third annual confer

dents at Depauw University, Green
castle, Ind. late in March.
This afternoon Immediately after the
luncheon at the hotel. the state COM
mittee met and considered past, pres
ent and future business, One of the
most Important things up for consider
alton Is the selection Of the place of
the next convention. Richmond is
making a strong bid for this honor,
while Terre Haute and Charlottesville
are also making an earnest endeavor
to obtain the convention. Secretary

This speaks well for the business man.
