EXPLANATION
About The Sale Of HiaWaiha
Assembly Tickets

Inquiries keep coming with refer
ence to the selling of assembly tickets.
A word of explanation will set the
matter straight.
The policy of the assembly is chang
ed this year. The $1.5O price is pos
sible only by realizing ticket sale up
to a required quota, thus constituting
Hiawatha club in the community.
This makes it necessary that all
agents be certified club agents, no 9TH
ers will be recognized in payment of
commissions.
Any responsible person may become
an agent upon request, and will be
furnished with full equipment and in.
structions.
From July Gil agents are free to

each agent will be assigned definite
district to be canvassed house by
house.
At the opening of the assembly the
agent with largest sales will be "hon.
or agent" with public recognition, and

tional to regular commission.

Club Here
And Arrange To Attend The
Y. M. c. A. Camp

Interest is increasing in Camp
Budd," the camp for the boys of Mt.
Vernon and Knox county. Last night
a Camp Budd", club was organized
with Dean Mckee as chairman and
Robert Severns as secretary. The fol-
lowing boys were present and signi-
fled their intention of going to the
camp: Dean Mckee, Allen Sapp,
Warner Pipes, Robert Severns, Harry
Crumley, George Turner, and Frank
Claypool. There are number of 9th
er boys who are anxious to attend the
camp and the boys took their names
and will endeavor to get them lined
up by FRIDAY night. AT this time there
will be a meeting of all the boys who
are interested in the camp for the
purpose of listening to the report of
committees on yells and songs. This
will be ginger-up meeting. There no
doubt are some parents and boys who
hesitate relative to the advisability of
attending the camp, and for this rea-
son the boys department committee
wish to urge that every effort Will be
made to take the very best care of
those who attend. There will be the
very best of tents, food, recreation
and discipline. There will always be
some responsible person in charge
when the boys are in swimming or
when they are boating or fishing Mr..
lesson will be with one group and Mr..
Bliss the other from Mt. Vernon. Eff
fort is being made to call upon the
parents of prospective campers, with
view to explaining all of the features
so that if word is left at the associa'
ton office some one will call and make
clear all of the camp details,
