Good Thing Along.

Good Thing Along.
1t takes something more than an
obstruction in the cogs to keep the
wheels Of the indefatigable Ex-Old
Home Week committee from going
around. 1t is trying to reorganize
itself into BUSINESS mems and citizens
commercial, civic or industrial associ-
ation,-whatever you will that means
booming the town-and got far enough
on In the movement to elect officers
and appoint committee to draft con.
stitution and bylaws. Legally it would
be hardly possible to do business until
this matter Is settled and organization
completed. But the chairman OF that
committee didn't get his trsiaing with
the Old Home Week bunch and to the
chagrin of the veterans, failed to rush
his work through In time to have II
acted on at the meeting Thursday
night. Delay Of that kind at the
start might have caused the death Of
the infant association. 1t is difficult
to arouse interest in a movement OF
this kind and still harder to maintain
that interest when there is nothing
DOING
Realizing this, the gentlemen pres.
ent, a goodly number and among them
many not at the first meeting, decided
to go right on with other business and
discuss it at least, even If they could
not take official action.
Joe Williams, Charles Milliren and
Thomas Nolan were appointed to look
after suitable location for association
rooms. All these gentlemen belonged
to the "Old Guard" and were right
on deck with report Of half dozen
propositions. A lively discussion was
precipitated and the various rooms,
offered all the way from sl.00 per
meeting night to s24 90 per month,
received attention fsttering and other
wise. This matter will be settled later
on.
The matter Of organizing the trustees
was discussed by Messrs Emig and
Breakey but this is dependent upon
the constitution and bylaws which
failed to get there.
At this juncture the chair man waved
his wand, the secretary shifted his
writing pad and the association was
transformed into the Halloween
Club" charged with hsmmering out
carnival and masquerade for the
night OF October 3lst.
Jarvis Williams, for the arrange
ment, Joe Williams, for the finance,
and W. W. Higgins, for the advertis-
ing committees submitted their reports
and arrangements were made to start
off the campaign for the success OF the
masque this week. All the committees
received the familiar old instruction
from the chairman to get busy"
Once more Chairman Gillespie done
his copjuring feat and the gentlemen
found themselves board of trade
considering an industrial proposition.
Secretary Lord, in behalf OF E. A.
Reitz, presented the proposition OF the
inventor of the adjustable window
screen. Briefly, it was TO assist Mr..
Reitz to get his patent on the market,
either by organizing a local company
manufacturing the screen on royalty
basis, or by any other method they
could devise. The matter was given
a thorough discussion and while 1t was
not possible to take any official action,
the individual sentiment expressed was
distinctly favorable to helping the in
ventor in some way.
The next meeting will be held in the
Old Home Week rooms Thursday even.
