They may pay cash, giving the money to the solicitors; they may pledge a specified amount to be paid at some certain time.

Any of Ihese options may be exercised, i space being provided on the pledg card to show the method of pay- ment desired. Four teams of solicitors were st work today. V. T.

For several weeks the band has been an a rather disorganised basis, following the nresentatlon of the resignation of A. T. Law- rence as business manager. The differences arose during the state I fair the policies of the manager iand some members of the organi sation were in conflict. In order that no future trouble of this kind may be experienced the hand has procured a set of by-laws, dis tinctly specifying the duties of each person connected with the organization. These by-laws are of a character uniform with other int? uanu. The following officers were elected: Musical director, F. H. Applehoff; assistant director, V.
