NORMAL BOOSTER
PRELIMINARY MEETING TO DIS
CUSS THE ORGANIZATION
OF A CLUB.

Business men of the city to the
number of 20 or more met with
members of the faculty of the State
Normal school at the Normal build
ing last evening. The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss methods for
the organization of a booster club for
the purpose of promoting the inter
ests of the school. Such organiza-
lions 1t is known of course are in ex-
istence in educational institution
towns of the state and have done
much toward the material advan e.
ment Of their state institutions. 1t
is known that the state board of re-
gents and the people of the state for
that matter are ready and willing to
enlarge the state educational institu-
tions as fast as demands will warrant.
Indeed it Is recommended by the fed
eral administration that the educa-
tional facilities of the country be not
allow d to lag or slip back on account
of the war. To meet the require
ments of the school and make organ
lied effort for the advancements of
the school the meeting was held last
night.
1t was shown by b. M. Lawrence,
registrar of the school, that the Mad
ison State Normal has made a gain of
81 in number of students in the nor
NAL proper this year over last year.
This is in the face Of the fact that
other institutions of the state have
lost student membership the past
year, on account of young men going
to war, of course. Some of the larger
state universities and colleges of the
country have reduced their number
by hundreds on this account. The
Madison State Normal school has not
been less patriotic in the matter OF
enlisting it's young men than other
institutions, a number having enter
ed the service from this school, but
the attendance of young women in
training for teachers represent o
larger percentage than many other
institutions.
1t was decided at last evening"
meeting to hold another meeting a.
some convenient time next week
when a greater number of business
men may be induced to attend. 1t Il
then proposed to effect a formal or
ganization by the election of Officers
and the formulation of definite plans
for the continued promotion of the
school.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE

To The Voters of DeSoto County:
| / hereby announce as a candidate for
representative to the legislature from De-
| Soto County, Florida, before the primary
to be held on the 9Th day of June, 1918.
l have in mind a good many issues that
! | desire to discuss from time to time dur
| ing the campaign. At this time. however,
| | feel that there are two paramount is
sues that the voters are entitled to know
how l stand upon. These issues are;
First:-the County division question, and
Second;-what is known as the no-fence
law.
On these points, 1 desire to say that
am, for several good reasons which | will
discuss from time to time during the cam
paign, opposed to any division of DeSoto
county by the next legislature.
l am opposed to the lawessness that
has cropped out in our County recently in
connection with the cutting of pasture
fences, and i believe the perpetrators of
these acts should be apprehended and Wig
orously prosecuted. On the other hand.
unless 1t is necessary l do not believe
that the next legislature should pass a
no-fence law for DeSoto County, and
thereby injure the innocent as well as
punish the guilty.
1t Will be year before the next legis-
iature conVenes, and in the event no other
FENCES are cut during that time or during.
the session OF the legislature, l will be op-
posed TO the passage of q no-fence law
On the other hand, if this lawles sness
continues, my best efforts will be to see
that no-fence law is passed for our
county, Tor laWlessness must be stamped
out, IL II takes no-fence law to do it
