It’S not too early to begin the ilnns and if you are interested you should say so. Give us your <■; inion and yc.ur ideas. Remember the similar event held in 1912? It w,.s a groat week and those who got ’into it enjcyed it thoroughly. If we do it again wo should make that our model and improve it. It won’t cost much and it will do a lot of good in many ways, not the least of which the paying of due honor to the. boys who have served their nation in the great war. \ President Wilson and his associates! who will represent the United States! at the peace conference will sail tomorrow for Europe.

Itoep up your record as a citizen worth while in the most momentous age of time. The legislature of Indiana will meet next month ami as usual they will consider a wholesale number of proper ,d laws. good, bad, indifferent, most of them not worth the paper used on them, many offered just to muddy the water and a few badly needed. It requires the careful thought and attention of the representatives and senators to vote intelligently on these measures and in this you can be of great service. Study the laws, form your opinion and communicate with your representa tive. You are a citizen of the state, your interests are affected by each law passed, you should protect yourself by telling your servant in the legislature your opinion. Tax. road, health, and other problems will be considered. What do you want? It’s time' to be thinking about it. I SOCIETY | Club Calendar Monday. Delta Theta Tau —Frances Deinniger.
