40 ASSISTANT SECRETARY.
Another matter of public interest
was in regard TO the work among boys.
II was decided TO leave the position OF
assistant secretary vacant for the pre-
sent. and in the absence of a man 10
look after the boys. a special commit
tee was appointed TO take up this mat
ter. The committee includes II. r.
Schiller. Norman Kerr, Leo belong,
Ralph Koerber. and Clarence Wilson.
They will assist the general secretary
in handling the work among the BOYS
during the season about TO open. and
as they are all experienced in this line
of work, they viii undoubtedly keep
things stirred up among the junior
members of the association.
FOR ATHLETIC LEAGUE.
The uestion of a Sunday School Ath-
letic league was discussed at some
length in the course of the meeting,
and the attitude of the board was found
to be very much in favor OF the organ
ization of such a league. No formal ac-
ton was taken, but il is likely that at
the next meeting certain requests for
concessions in the use of the Associa
ton building will come up, if the pro
posed league becomes a fact.
The general attitude of the associa-
ton workers, members and directors
alike. is one of hopefulness and expect
ancy AS the new seasons work is be
gun 1t is with the confident eXpecta-
ton that the new building is practl-
cally a certainty, and that the season
is to be a good one in view of that
fact. With the slogan. Make the last
year in the old building the best" they
will go in for great years activities.

INNOVATIONS At
MILITARY CAMP
Change in Guard System at
Dixon Is Approved by All
the Soldiers.
WHOLE COMPANY DETAILED
Commands Are No Longer Cut in
Half by Numerous Details Being
Drawn Each Day.

I Especial Correspondence Of The Argus
Camp Deneen, Dixon, Ill, Aug. %.
/ Two innovations have been intro
! duced at the encampment of the 9th
regiment, both of which are proving
! of considerable benefit to the camp
and the campers. Probably the more
popular with the soldiers is the plan
of having a whole company detailed
for guard duty each "a hours instead
of details of three or four men from
each of the companies as has been
the practice for years Under the
new plan the company is kept up to
its full strength each day instead
of being cut in two by the loss of a
guard detail and several special de-
tails. Company of Moline stood
guard over the camp Sunday and
yesterday Company l. of FreepOrt
performed that duty. Under the new
practice the officer of the day and
the officers of the guard are the
commissioned officers of the COM
pany.
CAMP MADE SANITARY.
The other innovation is one along
sanitary lines and was introduced by
the medical corps. Incinerators at
several different parts of the camp
have been built and fires are kept
burning in them at all hours of the
day and any waste paper or other
material is carried to them and in
stantly disposed of. The incinerat-
ors are made of a pile of rocks in
burning. The camp already shows
the effects of the incinerators as IT
is in much better condition than 1t
was when the regiment arrived Sat
urday.
COMPANY A STREET NOTES.

PLAN MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN.
Various other important matters
were acted upon by the board in the
course of its meeting. One matter that
will attract no small amount of atteu-
ton is in regard TO the membership
arrangement for the coming season
The policy of the association now con
templates the temporary closing up of
the regular work for a time next sum-
mer. pending the completion of a new
building. and in view of that fact
special provision has been made for
memberships. Beginning with Sep
TENDER. all memberships are to be dat
ed to terminate by July l. The fee for
the period of nine months is to be 81
for men and $3.50 for boys. This will
make it possible for members to secure
the privilege of the winters activities
at this considerably reduced fee, and
ought TO result in a large increase in
membership. Plans will be developed
soon for a big membership campaign
on this basis. for the purpose of run
ming the total membership above -four
hundred.
JOIN WITH MOVEMENT.
Recognition was given by the board
to the work of the Men and Religion
movement in action which was taken
inviting the evangelistic committee
of this movement to take charge of the
religious work of the association dur
ing the coming season. Some excel
lent work has already been done in the
street meetings which have been held
by combination of y. NJ. c. A. and
Men and Religion forces. and it is an
ticipated that the new arrangement
will result in great things in the work
for men in this city. Rev. Humphreys
is chairman OF the evaugelistic com
mittee. and he has signified his willing
ness 10 undertake the additional work
thus imposed.
A special committee of association
men was named 10 act in connection
with the other committee in this mat

PLAN A MILE RUN
FOR OLDER MEMBERS
Bible Glass Track Meet Scheduled
for Labor Day Is Attracting
Nidc Interest.

Great interest is being exhibited in
the first annual athletic meet to be
held at Exposition park on Labor day
under the direction of the Memorial
Brotherhood Athletic association OF
the Memorial Christian church of
this city. In addition to the events
already announced a mile run will
be staged in which every member of
Sunday school bible classes under
the age of 30 will be eligible. A sill
yer medal is to be given the winner
and a bronze medal to the second
place man. A hundred yard dash
will be scheduled under the same
conditions.
a movement is now on foot to or
ganize an INTERESTINGLY School Ath-
Ietic association made up of repre-
sentatives of the various Sunday
schools in the city. This plan has
been tried in various other cities and
in every case has met with unquali-
fed success. Members of the various
Sunday schools of the city have al
ready been approached on the sub
ject and are enthusiastic about the
proposition so that the association is
practically assured.

Selling Pianos ON Credit.
There is no article sold on credit so
frequently as the piano This is a SUP
5ect now being discussed at the manu-

dealers grant long credits the manu-
facturers must be equally Ienfent
Dealers frequently lose pianos after
only few payments have been made
A piano may be bought on the INSTALL
ment plan and the next month its p1r-
chaser viii move into a new locality
and cannot be traced Dealers are
planning to cooperate with tuners in
tracing these lost pianos, which IN
many cases are practically stolen. Tor
the first installment may not pay Tor
the cost Of placing it in the house The
Piano Dealers association in various
towns will give lists of the numbers OF
lost pianos to the tuners. 1t Is expected
that this scheme viii secure the recov-
cry OF a number OF these instruments.
The installment plan gives excellent
opportunity for swindling a dealer. A
piano may be easily sold for hundred
dollars cash after one or two INSTALL
ments- The swind1er gets away with
the money and the dealer has no re-
dress The prevalence Of this swindIe
has reached such proportions that it
is receiving attention from both lnaIsu-
