dress, temporary organization was eff
fected by the selection of Mr.. James w.
Van Cleve of st. Louis. president of the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers, as
temporary chairman and of Frank 8. Gard
ner Of New York as temporary secretary.
Mr. Van Cleve appealed to the convention
not to permit itself to be -stampeded on any
issue without mature elaboration and sug-
gested that. as business men, the assem-
bled delegates should waste no time but
prepare for active proceedings by effecting
immediate permanent organization. On
motion, committees of fifteen members
each were appointed on credentials and on
permanent organization and rules.
Gen. John M. Wilson was the only local
member Of the committee on credentials
and B. H. Warner of the committee on
organization and rules.
Adjournment was taken shortly after
noon, the chair announcing that the COM
mittee reports would be received at 800

RalIlna q Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house Of
rats is to catch one and fasten a bell
about its neck. A boy In Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tlnkling Of that bell
would have great results. II did have.
In the FIRST place, the rat who wore It
was constantly on the move all night,
and the unkling bell kept the family
awake. and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead OF being afraid Of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu'
sic. Had the boy tied a harmonica
TO another rats tail. the rodents would
have had dance every night
