apparently no united effort for: the

some-notably among: the bunch

fault is attributable to the local

That Commercial Club.

The attention of the Enterprise
scribe has been directed to an arti-
Gle in the last issue of the Virgin
ian, one of the editors of which pub
lication is secretary of the Virginia
Commercial Club, in which the
writer AYERS that there is no use of
talking of reorganization of the
Club until after the first of the year.
As Virginian and as member
of the organization we fail to dis
Germ why delay of forty days and
forty nights should be necessary. i
We fail to see why the Club should
not reorganize at one time ~as we'll
as at another.
We fail to see any reason for
greater display of interest in the.
objects and purposes of the organi-
zation after the first of the year than
at the present time. = II
We tail to see why, ait least, a meet
ing should not be called and permit
the organization, as body, to de:
eide upon the question of whether
or not it desires to remain in the
comatose state which has marked
it's condition since last May, or
whether it is considered in proper
condition for the appliance of re-
storatives.
We believe the organization as
body would be fully as competent
to judge of its desires for the future
as would be an individual member;
even though that member had been
elected to the office of secretary-a
position emitting him to collect the
dues for the sustenance of the body.
But we confess that there seems lit
tie liability of etting meeting of
the Club without the sanction of
the secretary. through whom should
issue call for such convention.
In growing, thriving city like
Virginia there are always questions
of public interest which W i'll bear
discussion; there are always means
of securing more for the public well
fare by united action than by per-
sonal effort. And one matter de-
manding such united effort at this
time is the railway mail service ac
corded Virginia. Individuals may
kick-they do kick and they have
right to kick-but they might as
we'll chew Peerless and spit against
the wind. A united effort, p;roperly
directed, might however have the
effect of changing the evening mail
route to the Missabe road, Thereby
giving Virginia a service de tmand-
ed by the business interests: If huct
result could be accomplished it
would be as welcome to the busi-
ness element of the city today as it
would forty days hence. And it's
accomplishment would certainly be
as easy at this time as it would af-
ter the first of the year.
More good things are lost in this
world by being too late than by be-
ing too early.

and well fixed tie. He was crowned
with a silk hat, well brushed and

held out for sale half a dozen boxes of

Hindu Moon Lore.

The full eclipse of the moon was OBJ
served in Singapore on the night OF
August 4. According to the Hindus
this eclipse is the contact between
the moon and another planet called
Rahoo, but the masses believe that
owing to the will of God, Rahoo. or the
serpentlike planet, catches hold of the
moon by its hideous mouth and re
leases it after a short time.
At the first contact the Hindus
battle principally in the sea and anxi-
ously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur
ing the interval they are not allowed
even to drink cup of water. as their
belief is that all things in the world
get polluted during the contact.-Sing-

Laundry work at hoile would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality cf the goods. This t'ouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm.
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
