 Martins election was unanimous. The subject of election of a president was lGhe first business brought before the sAnagnates. Almost simultaneously, several arose with the word John D. Martin" upon their lips. The election was by exclamation and required but a few minutes.
 Complimentary to Martins services to the league in the past two years, a substantial! increase in salary was voted, and Martins salary for the next three years will be s7,500 per year.
 Following considerable discus
 sion, it was voted to stage post

Human FH''
 Tame Beside Prince Nelson

The Human Fly famous for his ability to scale the walls of skyscrapers and other tall buildings, leads as tame a life as drink of water in comparison to the existence of the Air Wizard, Prince Nelson, who will perform here tomorrow afternoon and night The above seems to be the general opinion of all who witness Nelson in his death inviting acts
 The Human Fly created excitement when he appeared here and made the walls of the Empire building look like flat board walk. but, after tomorrow, it is safe to say that his charm will be gone.
 Prince Nelson is said to be the great est creator of excitement and astonish- ment to ever exist, barring none. His acts are the very height of the sensa- tional If he does half of what his tes- timonials claim for him, then he is some little cuckoo. and those in on the know have every reason in the world to believe that he does all that is claimed for him.
 WALKS 1000 FEET HIGH
 For instance, Prince Nelson has the reputation of being the only human alive to have stood almost 2.00O feet high ill midair without direct support of balloon, airship, terra firma or bird of any kind. w ell, fTInCe DdSSeu liit leSl anu IS hCiC to tell us about it. It was down in South America, where Nelson capered along a wire strung from the top or Sugar Loaf mountain, which is 1,950 feet from the level of a small lake, over which Nelson performs
 The news that Prince Nelson will. be here has created intense interest tn oughout the state.
 SOME OF HIS STUNTS
 He not only walks across the wire but spends about 3o minutes suspended 1oO feet in the air at each performance. In addition to walking. other features of his act are an imitation of a drunken man staggering across the wire, sitting down in a chair. standing on the back of a chair on his head. standing on the wire on his head, taking someone across ti'e wire on his back and other apparently impossible things.
 Prince Nelson performed at Niagara Falls many years ago and is the only man who ever successfully. accomplished these various acts.
 His act has been shown in every coun- try in Europe and several of the Asiatic countries. He recently returned to America and his performance has proved a/big sensation in many cities ol this country
 At night he appears in an iiluminateu suit and searchlights make him planiy visible to the crowds.

therefore law enactments should be framed so that their entendment may be readily descernable.
 Tuesday night of this week a non partisan meeting for the ladies was held at the Harding Republican Club Headquarters. The meeting was ad- dressed by Judge c. L. Lewis, who ran over the different amendments, analyzing them and inviting discus sion by the ladies. There were some 50 women present.
 Though there were several of the proposed amendments which Judge Lewis did not condemn, analysis did not point out any good reason for voting for them. In each case he had looked up the statutes covering the same cases or relative cases, which information was imparted to those present.
 Judge Lewis discussion of the sub ject was interesting and enlighten- ing.

BLACK WITH WHITE ON HATS
Combination Is Great Favorite and AL ways Affords Bit of Smartness
 That Is Desired.

Women never tire of black and white. In summer hats this combina- tion is great favorite. The all-white hat is rather dead looking, and while a white hat with colored trimming may be very pretty there is likelihood of it's appearing somewhat insipid unless created by an artist. A touch of black on white hat always brings a bit of SmartneSs.
 White organdie hats, much like the old-fashiOned lingerie hat that women affected for many summers because it brought eternal youth, are trimmed with puffy flowers of organde. Then they are swathed with black tulle.
 Equally effective are hats of pale yellow organdie yelled with brown net. Taffeta fiOwers-big puffy ones of dark colOrs-are Sometimes applied to dropping mushroom shapes of white Organdie with long. loose stitches of black and wispy transparent scarf draped over all. Sometimes white or gandie blossoms are scattered over black horsehair hats The versatile organdie plays many roles. It is not unusual to see it Ornamenting oilclOth hats in the form of scarfs or appliQued flowers, and in turn Oilcloth may be ap- pliqued to hats of Organdle.
