 When s. T. Shaylor, a member of the board of trustees and chairman of the subcommittee named to select quarters for the local nest stated that the strength of the organization would hinge somewhat on having a home of Its own, and hinting that such would be the ultimate result, the high water mark in enthusiasm was reached

 HINT WAS PASSED.
 The hint was passed out this way: Our own home for the nest will eclipse any like structure in Jacksonville when the time Is ripe for it's erection"
 The fact that such realization is only months distant--a year or so at the out side-caught immediate favor in that au- dience which packed every niche and cor ner of the board of trade auditorium

 There were distinguished "ones' in the affairs of men--of Jacksonville Mayor w. S. Jordan was there and ex-Mayor Sc br,ng and commissioner this and commits sioner that, some of the prehistoric ages and some of the prosperous made Ill Jacksonville present.

 THE INSTALLATION.
 One by one the officers, from the past president to the treasurer, from the first name on the board of trustees to the last kone on the board of governors, the "bonored ones" took on the toga of their new office.

The official burglar will be appointed later if one is deemed neces- ssry

 As the meeting drew to close there were number of important matters also settled or referred to a committee.
 After the adjournment Organizer s. c. Cone had several of his fingers broken and taken away as a result of too much handshaking. He formally delivered the nest into the care and Keeping of the new officers and his role was about fin- ished. But all remembered that he was the live one behind an uphill fight at first and all were anxious to see him again. He is at the present time suf- fering from Birmingham Alabamaism, usually deemed fatal in the category of medical affairs So his Jacksonville friends were wont to pull of finger o, two as souvenirs of him as he is to go back there soon.
