There are a multitude of details ant small matters to be taken care »f. but in brief the big main thing which it is hoped will be accomplished are as follows: Complete the raising of the Tull $15,000 in operating capital. Not unlike any first-class business insti tution, an efficient commercial ot» conization must have a sufficiency ot operating capital to produce the real results that are possible when such is in hand. Outline the program of work for the year 1914 is ths second important thing. Yesterday the same referen dum which was sent to all members a short time ago was mailed out again, requesting those who had nol responded to express themselves. Out of this consensus of ideas thuj gathered the program of work is to be formed. Every member of the M. & M. Association should co-operate with the management to the extent of filling out and sending in his refer endum. Next in order comes the fixing oT the expense budgets for all depart ments. Mr. McKeand stated a day or two ago that it was absolutely nec essary to first outline the program of work, in order to intelligently out line the budget of expense. Meanwhile the office system and equipment and all other details nec essary to the building up of a good first-class headquarters will be look ed after by the secretary of the de partment of organization affairs. The collection of statistics and other such matters are already under Way, and the new organization will soon get out a piece of literature suitable for general purposes. This will not be elaborate, but will contain the items of valuable information which our own people generally are none too fa miliar with, and which the outside public want to know. Aa Modern as Any.

The local Shriners are a small num ber, exceeding very little over 100, but ns one of the new recruits has put it, "We won’t to at all if we cannot go right.” The Shriners hope to charter three sleepers for three days, as It Is not possible to secure any hotel ac commodations In Atlanta for this oc caiLn. They will live In these cars uu til their return to Augusta. The cars must be decorated with decorations that will let all know that they are from Augusta.
