The society will Immediately incor-
porate, and thorough canvass OF the
state will be made, in order that
large membership may be secured. 1t
is known that there are at least 10000
native Buckeyes in Colorado, and it is
desirable that as many of these as pos
sible will Immediately notify the secre-
tary. Mr.. +. l. Carruthers, box 504,
Denver, of their present address, in
order that appropriate literature may
be forwarded to them.
There is likelihood that President
Taft will be in Colorado this summer,
and large and representative mem
bership will enable the Ohio society
to entertain our seventh Ohio Presi-
dent in royal style.
The following poem by James Bar
Ton Adams will be of interest to all
Buckeyes.
They're All from Ohio!
When a man makes his mark in this
glorious land,
He was certainly born in Ohio,
When hero exhibits dead oodles of
sand,
1t is learned that he halls from Ohio.
When in any great field a marked tri-
umph is won
Or work for the good OF mankind has
been done,
The man of achievement you'll find is
a son
OF the wonderful state of Ohio.
When the masses are swayed by an
orators tongue,
1t was trained for the work in Ohio.
When the praises of some great ply
Sician are sung,
You can trace him right back to
Ohio.
When a wondrous invention quite star
ties mankind,
Evolved from a brain that beats other
brains blind,
You can look in his family Bible and
find
That the place of his birth was Ohio
When seeking President who will
make good.
The peoples eyes turn to Ohio.
They know the best timber that grows
in the wood
Ot politics comes from ONO.
At times they may switch to a differ
ent track,
Choose leader from elsewhere and
try him n whack.
But you will observe that they always
come back
For their man to the state Of Ohio.
Where'er YOU may rove in this wide
spreading land,
You will bump against men from
Ohio
In the progress procession up next to
the band.
You will find the brave sons of
Ohio
If coaxing the wealth from the earth
on the farm,
Or living in cities where great masses
swarm.
Their love for their dear native state
is as warm
AS when they pulled out of Ohio.
