A number of incidental business

the discussions attendant upon ques'
tions and problems regarding anoth,
er short course for Mahaska county,
which everyone desires and acknowl'
edges will be a desirable thing for
another year. The desires and ac'
knowledges will be desirable thing
for another year. The desire was
expressed to have the short course
reach a greater number of people of
the county than it has in the past
two years. The institute directors
also desire to make the cost of the
course as low as possible to the pat
a, r0ns. If five hundred tickets are sold
the price can be made $3.50 for the
mems tickets and $1.00 for the wo'
mems tickets for the domestic
course. c,g rl,r SIC ar ...
The management Is of the opinion
that this number of tickets can be
easily disposed of on the basis OF
pledges. Almost one hundred mems
tickets have already been pledged
and large number of womens tick.
cts have been disposed of for the
course to, be given neXtpwinter. rs.E
These tickets are sold on q basis
of $3.50 for men and 81 80 for women,
but if five hundred or more of the
tickets are sold the price of the tick.
ct will be $3.50 and 100, as noted
above. Anyone desiring to secure
one of these tickets will telephone to
President Lyle, Secretary Francis
Everett or to anyone of the directors
named above.
A special committee consisting OF
r.. r. Hanna, C. w. Randall, G. w.
Moore, NJ. W.. Crozier. Elmer E. Mas
teller, NJ. Holt, was appointed to
push the matter of securing the
pledges for the next short course.
They are to be assisted by others.
The committee named was appointed
with a view toward getting worker
in each section of the county. Any
one may secure the pledge cards OF
Secretary Francis F. Everett and Sc
cure one or more names to insure
the success of the course.
The short course of 1910, held dur.
ing holiday week attracted more at.
tention than the previous course and
aroused interest in more territory.
The officers desire the benefits OF
the course to reach out to the cor
ners of the county. 1t is necessary
that the pledges for the tickets be
secured as soon as possible. The
purchase of the ticket of admission
is not necessary until the coming OF
the short course. Hence, no matter
II you do not have the cash at the
present time, let some one OF the Of
ficers know that you will take a
ticket. The pledge will be for the
full amount, but as soon as the five
hundred tickets have been sold the
amount of the pledge will be reduc'
ed to $3.50. Should one thousand
tickets be disposed of the cost will
be reduced in proportion. Any one
may solicit these pledges and see to
II that Mahaska county next winter
has the best and the strongest short
course in the state. "s~ { "a.
