 Early Fall.


 The Montgomery Press Club met yes- terday afternoon in special session in the auditorium of the Commercial club and adopted . system of bylaws un- der which the club Is to operate. The meeting was the most enthusiastic yet held by the club, and the discussions were entertaining and productive oi activity.
 one of the chief features of the ses- sion was the discussion relative to . Fourth of July celebration in this city such as are observed in the majority of the Southern cities. It was the sense Aof the members that the move- ment was worthy of the greatest praise and commendation. and acting upon the suggestion to this effect a committee of three, consisting of President Sheehan. of The Advertiser; verbeck, of The State, and L. s. Betty. of The Journal. were appointed to lay the matter be- fore the Board of Directors of the Commercial Club. at it's session last night.
 The club pledged itself in motion that 1t should bend all its energies to- wards effecting as good . celebration as possible, cooperating heartily with the promoters of Montgomery who de- sire to have the custom generally ob- served in all cities of the United States. To get more interest in the endeavor was the keynote of all addresses made in favor of the movement, which in part is one of the purposes of the club ito boost Montgomery.
 When the meeting was called to order President Sheehan explained that the purpose of the session, jprimarily, was to hear the report of the Commit tee on Bylaws. After a lengthy dis- cussion of each of the sections and articles the copy presented by the con,- mittee, slightly amended, was adopted and the committee discharged.
 One of the most Interesting features of the discussion concerned the open ing entertainment that the club Is plan ming to give. The scope of the enter tainment was not expanded upon in the meeting except to the extent that 1t is to prove one of the most interest ing events in the history of any simi- lar organization in the State. A Com mittee on Ways and Means. consisting of M. M .Brannon, of The State; l.. F. woodruff, of The Advertiser; N. B. williams, of The Times: l.. s. Betty. of The. Journal. and President Sheehan was apopinted to prepare all the pre- liminaries of the reception. and to re- port back to the club at its next regu- far session. Sunday afternoon. June 30.

WALTZ AID TO MATRIMoNY.

WALTZ AID TO MATRIMONY. . The National Association of Masters of Dancing. in recent session at At Iantic City, have gone out after the disjointed "two-step" dance with a big stick. Their opinion becomes of weight to the unmarried feminine pop- ulation of America. when they grave : ly denounce 1t as a fatal obstacle to matrimony.
 Here is the vivid testimony of Pros lessor A. c. Berken. the spokesman for the non-two-steppers.
 If the girls of the country realized how many men used to fall in love while they were gliding through the dreamy waltz of few years ago. you would not be able to force them to gallop through two-step, Many a man who had no idea of making . proposal has thrown caution to the winds while he carried a pretty girl

LuMeERMEN WILL ORGANIZE
Association of Manufacturers and Ship
pers in West River Valley to BE Form
ed at Townshend Today.


A call has been sent to all the lumber
shippers and manufacturers in the West
River valley asking them to meet at
Townshend Inn, Townshend, today at 2
p. m, to form an association to be known
as the West River Valley Lumbermen's
association.
The chief purpose of this organization
will be to get the lumbermen together for
concentrated action by way of a petition
to the railroad commissioners to improve
the shipping facilities on the West River
railroad, as at present the situation is
such as to make profitable business prac-
tically impossible.
Two of the largest concerns doing bus
mess over this line say that it has been
impossible to make their monthly ship
ments equal their payroll for the past six
months. and that If present conditions
continue much longer they will be prac-
tically driven out of business.
1t is expected that so to rs men inter-
ested in the numbering industry will be
present and the question of prices, meth
DDS, etc, will probably come up for dis
cussion in addition to railroad facilities.

MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION.
1t Aims to Supply Needs in Sickness Not
Covered by Hospital Service or Visit
Ing Nurses.

" -FlSoPlNdN SCINlNG Ut VISIT
Ing Nurses.
At meeting held at the home of Mrs
George w. Tyler on Monday afternoon,
the Brattleboro Mutual Aid association
was organized, with the following mem
bers: Mrs. George w. Tyler, chairman
Mrs. George F. Barber, vice chairman
Mrs. F. a. Wells. treasurer: Miss Faith
Tyler, secretary; Mrs. A. II. Webb Mrs.
f. Q. S. OsgoOd, Mrs. W. f, Banks, Mrs.
NJ. j. Moran, Miss Mary F. Fits, Mrs.
Allan ID. Brown, Mrs. George NJ Thorn
as, Mrs. Clarence Stckney and
Miss Marguerite Tucker, Miss Elsie
McCloskey and Miss Florence Mcdonald
being members ex officio.
Persons wishing information in regard
to the association, or to obtain aid, may
apply to the chairman or secretary at
their home on Tyler street, telephone call,
Si6-12, or to any member Of the associa-
ton.
The object of the association is to do
what is possible to supply those needs in
sickness that are not properly covered
either by hospital service and the visiting
nurses or the limited amount of nursing
that is available without better organiza-
ton.
Only small percentage OF sickness can
or should be treated in the hospital; only
small proportion of families can afford
10 employ skilled trained nurse. There
remains most Of the cases of illness in a
great majority Of the families for which,
when family help falls short, there is
available only such assistance as the visit
ing nurse can supply, such help as can
be procured from the less skilled nurses.
or from casual household workers, or
from friends or relatives. 1t is in these
numerous cases that most OF the great
stress of sickness falls, and it has been
stated by good authority that conditions
in this respect have tended to become
worse instead of better
