TRAIN TO BE HoNoRED
There Is a movement in Scotland for
the erection of a memorial in Newton
Stewart 10 Joseph Train. the antiquary.
Trains chief claim TO fame rests on
his association with Sir Walter Scott.
He was born IN Ayrshire and from 1913
TO 1920 was engaged as surveyor Of
excise at Newton Stewart. There he
gathered. together a great number OF
Galloway stories, legends and tradi-
lions, which he placed from time to
time at the disposal Of the wizard OF
the north who used them in some OF
his poems and novels. The acquaint-
ance of the two was due In the first
instance to an act Of kindness on the
part OF Scott. At Ballantrae's printing
works Scott happened to see some Of
the proof sheets Of "A volume Of poetry
Train was publishing.
AIDED SCOTT GREATLY.
Scott not only commended the poems,
hut wrote 20 the author asking him to
place his name on the subscription list
for copies. Thereafter "a correspondence
was begun which continued for many
years-indeed, almost tin SCOTS death.
Sir Walter made generous Acknowledge
ment Of his Indebtedness 10 Train, and
urged the latter TO publish collection
OF stories himself But the antlquary
was a Scott worshiper, and preferred
to give him all the Legendary and ira
ditional material he gathered. For-
tons Of Guy Mannering' and 'Old
EortaIity" are directly traCeable % as
Sistance received from Train. and tho
same may be said In lesser degree o.
some OF the other novels. Train also
presented Scott with a number OF ar
ticles of antiquarian Interest lnclud-
ing "the Wallace Chair

of poems. "a wen-knowu History OF

THE HUMANE ELKS.

Among the multiplying signs that fhe world Is getting better in spite os the pessimists and political dema- Rogues of all parties was the action of the grand lodge of Elks in relegat- ing the elks tooth as an emblem of the order.
 At the time of the adoption of the emblem conditions were different and future conditions were unforeseen or unthought of. The extent to which the membership of the order has grown in thirty-nine years is far be- yOnd the expectation of the founders. It could then be easily imagined that an adequate supply of eIks' teeth could be derived from the animals slain in the ordinary course of sport nor per haps did itooccur to the youthful brotherhood that within a little more than a generation the ,elk would be brought to the verge of extinction.
 But in recent years the demand for teeth became the chief incentive to the slaughter of elk. Their teeth yield ed much more than their flesh. their skins and their spreading antlers. They have in fact become worth many times their weight in gold.
 The action of the B. P. O. E.. in shutting of this demand for elks' teeth will go farther toward the preservation Of this noble and vanishing animal than all the game protecting laws of all the states.
 Now. if there could be a humane organization, formed of all the wo- then in this country who wear head gear, and such barbaric ornaments as birds bodies and birds wings were in-

GLOBES CHAMBER oF
 COMMERCE

There is a healthfully wild enthus- ias1, in Globe over g chamber or com nerce movement and meetings are oe- ing freouently held to cut out work for that body. It is proposed 10 ara" the membership of the body from pus- mess men. professional men and from all classes of property owners Ac- cording to the Silver Belt, an agsres- sive campaign of publicity for Giope and it's mining field will be commence ed early this fall and the quarters or ,he chamber will include bureau or information from which mining infor- mation will be disseminated.
 Though this is the season of the wear when our own board of trade feels that it has earned a vacation. the members will wish the Globe chamber the greatest success in its efforts to make Globe bigger and better, and We may say, it is already big and good.
 Ii is interesting in this connection to observe the spread of municipal ad- KerllSlnR liAC Ce-SeNN'- N%--
 dle states. The movement had us origin in the west, or rather. It was Tn inc west that commercial bodies were formed exclusively for the purpose of drawing attention to the resources or their communities.
 There is received at this office al least once a week communications from a half dozen cities and towns Of the south and east, setting forth Tn some way their growth and industrial importance. The south is especially awakening to the value of this kind Of publicity. Among the cities in which this movement is especially active are Montgomery. Alabama and Atlanta Georgia.
 The west from such centers as Den ..Y. Salt Lake Los Angeles and the cities about Puget Sound. owes much os its rapid development to the infor- nation thus spread abroad throughout the land. The new advertising is of a different character from the earlier. It is less roseate, less exaggerated and general, but is altogether more busi- nesslike and will probably prove more effective.
 Each week the attention of the world is called to some phase of the development of a single enterprise. The story is told briefly in catchy manner impressive of the much that lies behind il.
 These efforts are worth while. The American business man, individually and in the mass, is arousing to the value of advertising. Cities as well ax citizens, are realizing that the mu- nicIpality which does not indulge. .aneIy and discriminatory in publicity, writes its name among the dead ones
