without an announced campaign or any hurrah or furore. but we have gon about it systematically and methodical- 1y. The standard of membership has been maintalned throughout the new membership. a standard that has made membership in the club desirable and worth while"
 of course we have no definite mem bership number" MT. Dimick continued but we want desirable members and will continue to take them in until we are satisfied that the membership
 is not overcrowGed,%
 We particularly want the members to appreciate the fact that dullness does not exist behind the club walls, as many of the older, stern and staid clubs maintain" MT Dimick said but we have endeavored to introduce music and dancing aud other amusements thus adding an environment which brings out the social element. On Sat urdays we feature our music at the luncheon hour and while we have music all during the week days during lunch con, the Saturday luncheon has some thing of the holiday spirit and is very attractive for both the members and their lady friends
 We have excellent equipment in our cuiSlue, MTS DlHllCh Sdlus dHQ our members who have formerly gone to what is commonly known as an eating place-Greek stands where the food is not bit less expensive and very l. r can get the best delicious food a1 the club at the lowest prices which can be offered. The cafe is one of our chief assets and we must capitalize it by the members keeping it up by their patron age; every club member should have his luncheon at least three times week al the club-not only on account of tn good food, bat in order to keep up the interest and to capitalize the equip, ment which we have installed.'

 On all holidays" MT. Dimick said we provide delightful entertainmentW for our members and their friends. Of course the annual reception on Thanksgiving Eve has become such a time honored GUS
 
 ciety would be lost without it and in the mean time tonight, election night we will have our own Western Union operators and all the latest election news over private wires, making a comfortable place for the ladies to hear the results. A hot plate supper at midnight will be served and a dance in honor of the first election in which the ladies were allowed to vote, is the compliment the Southern Club is paying the ladies on election night New Years plans are now under headway Thanksgiving, every festival occasion. the Southern Club keeps open house and the custom has become very popular with the members and their friends"
 One of the latest improvements MT Dimick said, which we have made, is the re-decoration of what used to be known as tle 'Rathskeler, new lighting effects and additional room has been made and the Cave as we have named it, is delightful rendezvous where good fellows get together
 Altogether the Southern Club, I am proud to say is more popular perhaps than ever before in it's history" Mir OimiclS said, and one of the greatest as- sets in my opinion that the club has ever had. is our secretary, MT. Clarence Lloyd. He numbers his friends by the hundreds and is always genial and af- fable and combined with his ability, this makes him an ideal secretary whom all
