TO FORM Big
OHIO CLUB

Former Ohio residents in Taco
ma are planning the organization
of a big club that will include in
It's membership every person who
was ever a Buckeye. The Ohio
association of Tacoma has never
been very active, but 1t is to be
reorganized and an effort will be
made to enlist active workers who
will push the society to the front.
A meeting for this purpose will
be held at the residence of w. H.
Finch, 1918 South Seventh ST., at
8 o'clock Wednesday evening, at
which steps will be taken to
launch the new movement. All
former Buckeyes are invited.
1t is expected that meetings will
be held once a month hereafter,
with fine programs by Ohio peo-
pie.
