DEFENCE LEAGUE

ship Is Unlimited.

Changes in the bylaws and con
stltuuon o. the II Paso Home
Defence league wsrs made Fri
tors and members in the county court
house. According to the new reading.
there IS to be no set limit to the num-
Der Of members; the board OF directors
IS to consist OF six men instead Of Il
as hitherto: there are to be three
classes OF members, honorary, sus-
talning and active, and the time Of
the annual meeting, previously set
as the second Wednesday In August,
was changed to the second Wednes-
day IN January
The clause allowing unlimited mem
bership was adopted, It was under
stood, because OF the needs OF the or
usefulness. Roy D. Barnum explained
some Of these, showed how the league
had a very definite place in the com
muuitv and how its powers and func-
tons would be likely to become
broader IS time went on
Helps Get Quorum.
As 20 the limitation OF the number
OF directors TO six. Il was explained
that great difficulty had been expert
enced IN securing a quorum with the
original number, because many OF
them were kept away from important
meetings on account OF pressing busi-
ness affairs.
It was the opinion OF those present
that the change Of date o. the annual
meeting 10 fhe second Wednesday IN
January would find more OF the mem
bers present than If il took place at
the former date.

late IN the evenings, making il
necessary for me TO have my din

whether on such an occasion 10

feeling that I would be doing
