A proposed amendment to the Ma
tional Constitution provides for a diff
ferent distribution of the annual dues.
The change Is proposed on account of
there not being enough of the dues
going to the beneft fund, causing the
shrinkage of that fund to a point
where there might be danger of draw
ing on the resources, a condition not
desired as the reserve should be held
intact for emergencies. 1t is proposed
to take soc of each receival that now
goes to the post and soc of the amount
going to the state and add TO the ben
eft fund. We trust our delegates to
Peoria will oppose taking any part
of the posts allotment. The post is the
life of. the organization and needs
funds to carry out it's purpose. This
proposition would deprive Post c of
nearly 5000 per year income and we
cannot afford to lose that amount. Our
headquarters are something to be
proud of and their popularity is ac-
counted for by the large amount of
social features as we'll as protection
for the money paid. Keep our benefit
fund in good shape and so amply pro-
vided with funds that we will not have
to touch our increasing reserve but
try and do it without robbing the
posts. Delegates to Peoria should seri-
ously consider this important ques-
ton.
We are glad to note that NJ. j.

street seem to be anxious to ascertain
the pedigree and moral standing of

and appearances to the contrary not
withstanding we can cheerfully recon-
mend Shorty for their consideration.
Earl Holmes of South Sixteenth
street, will soon move to North A
street. We suppose it will become the
duty of Post c to assure North A
street citizens that he too is harmless,
that his record-that is some of it
will stand investigation despite the
fact that his general makeup is slight
ly against cheerful recommendations
from his friends.
About next Fourth Day night some
time near the hour of midnight one of
Isaac Walton's most persistent follow
ers accompanied by three of his
friends, will start to HE themselves to
James Lake for a three days fishing

is none other than Jim, Lewis, who

down in history as one of the most
remarkable fishing trips on record, not
for anything the "trailers" will do,
but their efforts to keep up the pace
of Jim together with Jim's doings will
make a wonderful tale for any one in
terested in amateur and professional
angling.
