"Inasmuch as the county clerk has not been convicted for a viola tion of any of the provisions of law referred to and no Judgment has been obtained against him for a breach of the conditions of his offi cial bond, it is my opinion that your question should be answered in the negative." 1000 MEMBERS SET AS GOAL OF EAGLES One thousand members by Jan uary I is the objective of a drive just stalled by tho Salcin Acrle of mo kagios lodge with tho campaign directed by a committee consisting of Clyde Shoesmith, Charles Snider una K. j.
