' We would recommend the formation in

chosen, and the Association once forined
should meet at least twice a year. The con-
vening of the Asigiciation is a very !Ample
matter. A circular is issued and mailed by
the Secretary to the chairmen of the different
polling sub -divisions calling a Convention on

the circular, cell meetings in their respective
