Place.

The date for the annual meeting OF
the KeOkrk Retailers league Is Tues
day, January II. It Is expected that
the session will be held then. The
league will elect president and vice
president and two directors at this
meeting. The secretary will be ap-
pointed BY the president. The two
directors whose terms expire are ia
cob Schouten and G. arthur Nedaisch.
NJ. e. Justice, president, and John w.
Rovane, ST., vice president, are the
two officers whose terms expire, and
James M. Fulton is secretary.
The administration OF President
Justice has been very successful
one, and the league membership has
been steadily increased, and much in
terest has been developed IN the
leagues activities. It would seem that
the league could not do better than to
reflect President Justice. It Is quite
generally believed that the present
officers will be returned to power. Mr..
Rovane very acceptably filed the
presidents chair at the time Mr.. JUS
tice was absent from the city. Mr.
Fulton has proved worthy secretary,
and will no doubt be re-appofnted.
III. N. Dumenil. E. F. Renaud and
Otto Rochenbach are the three direc-
tors who will hold over.
The league has staged a second win
dow contest. two big dollar days, an
appreciation sale, and has inaugurated
trade extension trips by automobile,
as well as holding meetings In the
neighbor1ng Gowns during the summer.
Altogether it has been most success

The members Of the club insist. however,
that this u n real occasion IN the history
OF the organisation. and " was whispered
about the clubhouse today that more than
one mutimlilionaire broke the rule against
tipping today just because II was Deacon's
holiday.
Deacon has held the hat Of every Presi-

Of Grant excepting Cleveland and Wilson.
