ENLIST AID OF ALL DRIVERS
The Humane society is entering on
a new lease of life, due largely to
the efforts of Mrs. J. DeForest Rich
ards and Miss Jessie Millard. In
the last week the two well-known
women collected $1,175 to carry on
the work of the society.
J. F. Wheeler, an old horseman,
has been employed by the society
as a special humane officer. He will

Dunn, Commissioner Jardine, Mr.
Wheeler and the two women from
tha Humane society was held to
plan the work.
A movement will be started to en
list the co-operation of all city driv
ers by securing their membership in
the Humane society. It is also
planned to engage a girl at the Vis
iting Nurse office in the city hall to
answer calls for the humane officer.
Among the generous givers to the
cause of dumb animals were Mrs. A.
C. Smith, Mrs. George A. Joslyn,
Mrs. Richards, Miss Millard and
Ward Burgess, Louis Nash, Charles
H. Brown, Dr. Tilden and the John
Deere Plow company, each of whom
donated $100, and Isaac W. Carpen
ter, $50. A number of $25 contribu
tions were also received.

DORIS L. SCHNEIDER.
Doris L. Schneider, Lothrop school
girl, holds the public school attend
ance recprd. She has not been tardy
for eight years nor absent for five
years. She began her school work
at Lothrop and has just been gradu
ated to the high school, where she ex
pects to enter next September.
This young exemplar of punctual
ity is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
C. A. Schneider of 3807 North Twenty-second
street. To keep her record
clear of tardymarks she had to make
heroic efforts on several occasions.
She adhered to the idea of "Early to
bed and early to rise."
Three More Feeds
In Prospect for the
Ak Hustling Crew
Three more big dinners are in sight
for Ak-Sar-Ben's hustling committee
for its splendid work this year. Al
ready the committee is credited with
bringing in 1,896 of the 2,535. mem
bers there are in the ranks of King
Ak at this time. One dinner is soon
to be given by Randall Brown, one
of the governors who promised the
boys a feed if .they should get 2,300
members by the opening night. Ev
erett Buckingham has offered the
boys another big dinner as soon as
they raise the membership to 3,500.
Charlie Saunders, another of the gov
ernors, offered to give a big dinner to
the boys just on general principles
for the good work they had done.
The team of Potter, Blackwell and
Marwell is in the lead, with 666 mem
bers to its credit. The team of Whit
ney. Benford and Link is second, with
187 members to its credit. The team
of A. C Potter, Low and Wilson is
third in line, with 173 members, and
the team hustling hard on the South
Side Schellberg, Fry and Cheek-
comes next, with 139 members.
