club rooms, at regular meeting of
the new officers and listened to the
annual reports of those retiring from
office. From all sides came reports
that show the post to be in the best
condition since it's organization, ev
cry branch showing great gains and
everything connected with the local
post to be in the healthiest condition.
Leroy Brown was proclaimed the new
executive head and William Quigg be-
came secretary-treasurer, succeeding
Marcus Hasty. who has held the po-
sition for several years. The other
new officers are as follows: c.. w.
Caldwell, vice president; Chas. Nor
gan, Frank Highley and r. c. Har-
rington, directors. President Brown
announced the chairmen of the var
ious committees as follows: Rail

In the retirement of NJ. l.. Hasty
as secretary-treasurer of Post c, the
local T. P. A. has lost in an official
capacity the services of one who has
co. 10
has been most efficient and capable
in the performance of his duties and
throughout his long term of office has
conducted affairs in the most satisfac-
tory manner. There is no more dyed
in-the-wool T. P. A. than Marcus Has
ty. He will continue to exert a great
influence for good in the organization,
being at all times one of the foremost
workers in the local post
John Minnick is taking short
spring vacation, due to the flood con-
ditions.
A. d. Gorrell of Marion post, was
visitor at the club rooms last week.
He had been detained in Cincinnati
by the flood for several days. Mr..
Gorrell is a candidate for state presi-
dent of the T. P. A before the Fort
Wayne convention to be held May g.
10. He has a host of friends who
would be pleased to see him elected
to the office he seeks.
William Quigg has for the past two
years been writing the T. P. A. news
in the Palladium with a regularity
and zeal that deserves the highest
post. He has given to the readers
of the pal" an interesting and snap
by column that has appealed to them
whether T. P. AS or not. He has
been elected to the only salaried job
in the post and the T. P. A. news
column has been turned over to the
tender mercies of T. c. Harrington. 1t
is hoped that the news column will
not suffer by the change. 1t will be
the aim of the press chairman to give
the Palladium T. P. A. readers and
their friends the correct news of the
post and he will strive to do as we'll
as Mr.. Quigg has done.
AT times it may be necessary to
chronicle the doings of the members,
who by their peculiar makeup have
become the characters of the T. P. A.
amusing sketches. At no time will
fake stories" be written or exagger-
alton INDUCED in. 1t has never been
the aim of the T. P. A. column to
offend; rather its motive is to please
and the indulgence of few members
of the post is asked for the next year.
Kindness will be shown to those who
are to be the goats
The following from Kraft's T. P. A.
column in the New Albany Tribune
is of interest to local T. P. A. mem
bers:
wv. H, Quigg, press chairman of
Post c. says in his column in the
Richmond Palladium that some
