Head Clerk Hawes of the Modern Woodmen of America recently advised the clerks of local camps that advertising in the local papers is the best method of securing new members for the,, society. This suggestion has been adopted with excellent results by camps in various parts of th country which are using a, model display ad .12x12, prepared at the head clerk’s office. Others are using smaller ads, with * changes three times a week, and still others standing ads, of modest size. It is the hope and faith' of the head clerk that camps throughout the country will make a liberal use of printers’ ink, the next six mggths especially.

FUNERAL OF B. F. ROBINSON HELD LAST SUNDAY.

Large Crwd Paid Tribute to Honored lola Citizen; Elks Had Charge ---iof Service. ,V. v k:The following account of the funeral of Frank Robinson, brother of Warren Robinson, of this city, appears in the lola (Kas.) Daily Register of Monday, June 3: : . ' ; The funeral of Frank. Robinson, which was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock from his late residence on South First street, was largeiy~i& tended and in some measure indicated the warm place he held in the regard of the community. The services at the home were conducted fittingly by Rev. Sampson, of the Methodist church, who spoke words of comfort to the family. Floral offerings from many friends testified to their sympathy. Upon leaving the house, the Elks lodge had charge of the service, escorting the body to the Old cemetery and conducting their beautiful ritualistic services at the grave. In this service Baxter D. McClain spoke on behalf of the lodge, paying a fraternal tribute to Brother Robinson and in one of the most eloquent and appropriate talks delivered here on such an occasion in many years, outlined the’ cardinal principles of Elkdom and fraternity.

Entirely New School Board Elected at Monticello.

Just what the school difficulties at Monticello were we have never learned positively, but in view of the fact that an .entirely new school board was elected by the city council JoU lowing the termination of the term of one old member and the resignation of the two other members, there must have been something decidedly wrong. The retiring members of the, board are Dr. M. T. Didlakp, B. B. Baker and Bert VanVoorst The new members are David McQuaig, Dr. G. R. Coffin and H. C. Johnson. It Is understood that the school dia cipline was very bad at Monticello the past year and it is said that the high school boys were permitted to make cigarettes on the school ground and even in the school building and that some of them lighted cigarettes during recitation periods and in the halls. It is also stated that Superintendent Hamilton did not have the most .loyal support from some of his teachers and that bickerings were instituted that involved the faculty, the school board, the city council and the public In general. The election of the nev school board is expected to overcome all trouble and the outlook is very good for the future. The Herald closes a report of the* action by saying: “The three men elected, it Is believed, have the interests of the school at heart ghd certainly all are competent for the position. It remains for the patrons of the schools to give them a chance to do their best, first by throwing no obstacles in their way, and second jby giving them active support in every effort they make to advance the standing of the schools. “Politics cut no ice in the election, though two of the trustees-elect (Coffin and Johnson) are republicans and one (McCuaig) a democrat. None of them, so far ns known, have any private axes to grind, and it is believed the board is so constituted that they will harmonize and devote themselves earnestly to the inteste of the school.” / -— ; The Coburn players, who were at Lafayette early in the year, where they made a distinct hit In their presentation of Shakespearean plays, are to return to Purdae on June 10th to present “Twelfth Night” They were anxious to come to Rensselaer bat n 2300 guarantee was greater than any Rensselaer promotor cared to take a chance at. It is quite probable that at least 500 people here would have put up |1 to have semi them. It would be an entertainment worth the money, for the Coburn players are undoubtedly the strongest combination of Shakespearean players on the road today. Misses Blanche Cnllum, of Monticello. and Pisa Longwell, of Monon. left Wednesday for a trip through the east -They expect to visit several days at Niagara Falls, Buffalo and New York City. They will also visit with a friend at Edgewater, N. J., and from there take a boat up the Hudson. Their return trip will be by way of Norfolk, Washington, Cincinnati and Indianapolis.—White County Democrat There Is no real need of anyone being troubled with constipation.

MONON TO RUN SUNDAY AND WEEK-DAY EXCURSIONS.

Second to Withdraw From Recent Agreement Made With Central Passenger Association. - Announcement was received Wednesday from Frank J. Reed, general passenger agent of the Monon at Chicago, that the road expects to operate Sunday and special week-day excursions as in the past. The Monon is the second road affiliated with the Central Passenger association to withdraw from the agreement made recently not to offer any excursion rates this season. Officials of the Monon decline to give out any definite statement as to the reason for withdrawing from the agreement, other than to say that the popular demands of the public for Sunday excursions must ftp) met It is generally believed, however, among railroad men who learned yesterday of the action taken by the Monon that the reason for the move lies behind the recent withdrawal from the agreement by the Nickel Plate. “We found it necessary to offer special excursion rates because of an insistent, demand from the patrons along our lines,” was the statement made by Mr. Reed from Chicago. - •».

Delightful Dance to Be Given At Armory Next Thursday.

llnvitations were issued this Friday evening for what will probably be the last big dance of the season, to be given next Thursday evening at the armory. The music committee has been fortunate, in that it has secured the Douglas (colored) orchestra, of Indianapolis, to play for the dance. This orchestra consists of saxaphone, piano and traps and drums, and is the same one that scored such a tremenduous hit during the high school commencement week festivities, when they furnished the music for the Junior Reception and Promenade. This will not be b program dance, and will be informal. The dance is, to be given by a few boys who will undoubtedly make a huge success of it. This music has been secured by the Jefferson Club for several dances next fall and winter, consisting of the Thanksgiving Christmas, New Years and the Easter dances.

E. S. Tillman Mounting the Ladder of Educational Success.

Word comes from Lebanon, Ind., telling of the excellent work and recent promotion of Ernest S. Tillman, head of the science department of the Lebanon high school. Mr. Tillman is a wide awake and progressive educator and his efforts to keep abreast of the tini4s have been rewarded by his being appointed to a position as head of the biology department in the Hammond high school at a salary of 31,400 per year, with an increase if he makes good, and there is very little doubt hut that he will. Mr. Tillman was formerly the teacher of biology in the local high school but left here two years ago to accept a better -and higher salaried position at Lebanon. Friends here will be pleased to hear of Mr. Tillman’s success and they feel sure that he will' make good in his new position. Mr. and Mrs. Tillman will move to Hammond the latter part of the sum-, mer.
