within the city limits. After a man
has been officially tagged he will be
required to contribute fifty cents or |
more to the capital campaign fund.
At any time he is found without a

This is a part of the plan formu-
lated at a meeting of Guthrie women
which started at ten o'clock yester-
day morning at Carnegie Libary, re-
maining in session all the morning
and again convening at seven o'clock
last night. The twenty-3even ladies
who were present at the opening of
the morning session were constitut-
ed a general advisory committee as

The Big Dinner.
This committee, after a thorough
discussion, decided to celebrate the
second anniversary of that memora-
ble 11th day of June, 1910, with a
grand dinner and banquet from 11 a.
m. till 3 p. m. at the city hall. It Is
proposed to feed one thousand men,
satisfying them first with good food,
then with a feast of eloquence, and
sending them away bubbling over
with enthusiasm.
"Remember the 11th of June" was
adopted as the rallying cry, and ev-
ery man in the city will be expected
to buy and wear a tag bearing this
slogan, this tag to admit him to the
dinner. There will be speeches by
the best orators in the city, and the
entire occasion will be one of boost-
ing and enthusiasm It is expected
to make this date one long to be re-
membered as the awakening and the
arousing of a permanent booster spir-
it, and the beginning of greater
things for Guthrie.
Every woman in Guthrie and Lo-
gan county is invited and urged to
help in this work, and all of the wo-
men)' clubB of the city, together with
the womens' auxiliaries to the Farm-
ers Institute wil participate in the
arrangements. Mrs. W. B. Herod, who
was chairman of the meeting yester-
day, was made chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, with Mesdames
Carter, Finch, Doye and Abernathy
and Miss Florence Adler the other
members.
It is hoped to serve practically all
home products at the dinner, and all
the wholesale grocery and meat hous-
es, commission men, packing plants,
mills, butcher 3hops and groceries
will be asked to contribute something
toward the feed. Any woman in the
city who has ijot been able to attend
the meetings, and is willing to con-
tribute something should telephone
to Mrs. Abernathy, phone 941, or Mrs,
McBride, pbone 137.
The ladies had another meeting last
night at the Carnegie library, at
time they selected the solicitors for
food for the big dinner and also-
made up the menu.
These ladies will have charge of
the soliciting on the various streets:
East College, Mrs. E. G. Sharp.
East Washington, Mmes. Stock-
dale and J. D. Williams.
East Logan, Mmes. J. H. Rucks
