SAMSON BOOSTS MEMBERSHIP
Has a Recruiting Committee Organ.
lied to Get New Members.
AFTER TWO THOUSAND MARK
Dad Weaver Heads n Committee 20
Go After Recruits to Make -
Record for Ak-sar-Ben
This Fail.

That 1000 membership dream which Sam
son. lord high chamberlain to his majesty
King Ak-Sar-Ben XVI, has been harbortng
in his ministerial bosom since the first OF
the year seems now to be practically as
sured of realization. Monday night at the
den the paid membership was announced
at l,462 Within few days an up-to-the'
minute volunteer recruiting squad, with
Dad" Weaver at its head, will start out
on the enlistment into the ranks Of 800
volunteer knights.
The volunteer recruiting squad, which is
really hustling committee, although Sam
son refuses to designate them by any name
so bourgeois, is to be made up OF ten mem
bers. although the personnel has not yet
been made public. Dad" Weaver Is chair
man and general-in-chief of the field
forces.
The reason for the extra effort lies in
the fact that Samson is spending close to
$4,000 this year on remodeling the den.
Much Of this has been paid for The new
roof is on and the walls are completed,
but a new floor is needed and the money
Is not at hand. Also the heating plant is
badly In need OF repair. Although that
part of the institution has lain in disuse
for years, the new den will be heatabie.
Efficient Advertiser.
II anyone ever doubted the efficacy Of Ak
Sar-Ben as an advertising medium for the
city, a visit to Samsons office Monday
morning would have entirely converted
him. On large table were spread out the
cards OF the visitors at the oen for Mon
day night, when two national conventions,
a national tennis tournament and the west
ern handicap trap shoot were taken under
the kings mantle. There were over 600
cards sorted out among the various states
of the visitors Every state in the union
had It's own little stack, and some were
not little.
While the sorting was in progress Joseph
A. Griffin of Syracuse, N. Y, former
president of the Ka-Noo-No of that city,
came into the office. Mr.. Griffin stated
that he had stopped off in Omaha ex-
pressly for the purpose OF getting some
Ak-Sar-B ideas.
Il don't see how you OmahRns get the
results that you do" he said. "All over
the east we hear more about IL than we
do OF any other organization OF its kind
either the Mardi Gras, the Priests OF
I Pallas or the Silver Serpent.
