CLUB IDEA POPULAR
ALL OVER KNOX CO.
Boys And Girls Have % Or
CARNATIONS With Enroll
ment Over 300

Plans have been. made for a. meet
ing to be held at Lock IN Milford
township on Saturday afternoon to or.
ganize sewing club for the girls Of
the township. Mrs. 8. L. Anderson
will be in charge of the meeting which
Is to be held at the home of Mrs. j.
NJ. Bone.
The boys and girls OF Knox county
are taking most kindly to the club
idea. This interest has resulted thus
far in the organization of no less than
% clubs in the county with a total en-.
rollment of more than 300. Last year
in the entire county there were but
eight clubs with an enrolment of less
than one-fourth of that for this year.
The success Of these poultry; sheep,
pig. sewing and canning clubs is at.
tributed not only to the interest of
the individual members but also to
the faithful and efficient work done
with painstaking care by the leaders
supported by the approval and appro-
baton of the parents of the members.
Without efficient leaders and discour.
aged by the parents the clubs would
fail to be the success that they are
being found to be.

FIGURES GIVEN
BY SPENCER ON
TIRE CO. ASSETS

Proving his assertion In the Banner
Thursday that receiver cannot be
appointed for the Knox Tire G. Rubber
Co., F. D. Spencer, secretary-treasurer
Of the company, today furnished the
Banner with figures, showing the as.
sets Of the company.
Mr.. Spencer asserts that the assets
of a manufacturing concern, such as
the tire and rubber company, are di-
vided into two classes-qHick assets
and fixed assets.
Quick assets are such as raw ma.
terials and various items used in the
manufacture of products that the CON-
pany proposes to make.
Fixed assets represent the building
and real estate of the company, ma.
chinery, tools. etc.
Mr.. Spencer says that the quick as.
sets of the company at the present
time amount to $46,49962. He asserts
that these quick assets could be con
verted into cash in two weeks time.
The total amount of the indebted
ness on the factory is $39,092.4S, ac-
cording to the figures of Mr.. Spencer
Thus it will be shown that the quick
assets of the company exceed the liza.
bilities by $7,407.14, according to the
figures of Mr.. Spencer.
MIR. Spencer claims that the fixed
assets of the company, including the
real estate, buildings, machinery,
tools, etc.. amount to $600,295.21.
There Is absolutely no need for q
receiver when the quick assets exec eu
the liabilities by 7,40714,' declared
Mr.. Spencer to the Banner today.
"Then, in addition, to the quick as
sets, | have shown that the fixed as
sets of the company are $500, 0,295.21, SC
that this talk of a receivership il
bunk on the part OF some irrespon
sible persons" Mr.. Spencer said In
conclusion.

Independent For Mayor
May Be In Local Field

More or less gossip has been heard
in certain circles to the effect that
George w. Perrine is to be an indie
pendent candidate for mayor OF Mt.
Vernon at the election in November
Mr.. Perrine has not made any an
nouncement of his purpose and neith-
err has he expressly disavowed the au-
thority of those who are announcing
him as an independent candidate. A
discrete silence at the present time
seems to appeal most strongly as a
proper course OF procedure.

whole shows some Improvement but
the average falls below that of last

The best record was made by Carl
Van Voorhis who hung up real high
total cf 1913 while there are five men,
bers of the club who shot better than
100 in the competition. Last week
there were four who made better than
190.
a further comparative study shows
that the club average on Friday even
ing was 1S4 while a week ago 1t was
1S6. Carl Van Voorhis, who leads the
club this week, greatly improved his
record of the previous week making
19S' as against 1S9. II. l.. Russell, who

was John S. Cole Jr, of Detroit, Mich
an arms expert of the Remington

Mr.. Cole did not talk of the science OF
ballistics, or discourse learnedly in q
highbrow fashion, but he did qualify
as an all around good fellow and 8
genuine sportsman. He and members
of the club quickly found basis o
comraderie that was to their mutua
liking and contributed to an increase
of their common esteem and appre

In the afternoon at the grounds o
the Gun club, Mr.. Cole gave an inter
