GOALS FROM THE FIELD


The Commercial club this year had
two unusually good chances for q pres
ident, and unhappilys could not accept
them both. The selection OF B. r. Nell
son would have sbeen an acknowledge
ment OF the work Of re Sapublic affairs
committee which has put the club fur
Their forward In the intimate relations Of
the club to public progress than any Of
It's predecessors. The committees work
for the city In the entertainment of the
9. a. Z. and the bringing Of other impor-
tant conventions here during the year
was noteworthy. Mr.. Nelson Is a man
who has the confidence Of the commu-
nifty IN large degree and would as
said, have made an ideal president On
the other hand Mr.. Gardiner. who was
chosen, had claims upon the gratitude
lRof the Comm rcial club members which
We're not to be overlooked Mr.. Gardner
IS one OF the original members of the
club. He worked and fought for it when
1T was on the down grade. He helped to
resuscitate and bring it to its present
degree OF prosperity. AS matter Of
fact Mr.. Gardner should have been pres
ident OF the club some years ago. and
there VIII be no quarrel with the fact
that his day has come. He is an ex-
Fcelient4 business man, q 1thoro executive,
and Will take no backward step In either
the public Or the social duties Of the club

Just after the election a local politi-
clan received hurry-up message to
communicate with Marshal /: Grimshaw
The politician hurried, He ran to the
marshafs office. But even as he ran he
figured 1t out. It was an appointment.
At least it was a special trip for the
marshal. It meant per diem and mile
age. Thrusting the staid federal ele-
vator aside he dashed up the stairs,
figuring the mileage as he ran Breath
less he rushed In. The marshal was not
there. Where was he? At home.
