Meeting Held at City Hall at Which
New Officers Are Elected
Islucil Interest Accommodates

A number of years ago the late +.
A. PhilDrick organized the Sank
County branch OF the Wisconsin HUI
name society and during his life much
was accomplished. Since then little
has been done to promote the work OF
the society which ne incorporated.
About 1914 Mrs. Julia A .Getchell,
a former resident at Barahoo died at
Skowhegan, Name, and left about all
the money she nad to the society. The
total amount received was 1880 from
which an inheritance tax Of $50 was
paid to the authorities in Maine. Dur
ing all the years since the money was
received the treasurer, L. S. Van Or
den, has kept the fund invested and
considerable interest has accumulated.
Mrs. Getchell provided in the will
that one-half Of the interest OF the
fund be expended by the society In
carrying on the work and the other
one-half be used in an educational
way, especially with reference to the
care and protection of dogs and cats
Of course she expected the work OF
the society to include all dumb and
mails and childrn, the same as the
New England organizations where
the work is so thoroughly done.

meeting at the city hall when the
society was reorganized.

This statement encouraged me in my position. for I knew that If the legislation could get them out of a 'hole it would also get every other merchant and banker out of their holes
 "The law was enacted It has worked perfectly I have heard no complaint from any tanner merchant, banker, spinner or cotton exchange And cotton, then selling around 20 cents. is now selling around 70 cents"
 Mir. Lee asked if in view of the facts he had just related 1t was not probable that cotton. with tenderable grades still further reduced would continue to increase in value and price.
