1 strictly a business organization, fur nishng grind stone on which every l body may sharpen his aX. meanwhile having no favorite aX of it's own to grind, he came in and rendered his membership and his support. And il was appreciated more than single membership could be from almost any
 other quarter
 Fearing that others may be laboring under the same misapprehension it is therefore stated that all in the world candidate has to do is to ask the l secretary to enroll his name. and pay his dues. It is the purpose of the board to foster every legitimate indus try and enterprise in the valley and it can do this successfully. only with the cooperation of a large membership. Every man of business who is operat- ing for himself, should be d member whether he owns a city block. a sky scraper. a garden patch or a COW ranch. The fact of the enrolment of his name and the ten dollars a year, is of wonderful influence. It is still bet ter if he can attend the meetings and every member is welcome to every one of them. Whenever the member has an idea that may be worth acting upon,
 the thing to do is to come to the next directors meeting and present it. IL may be discarded, or it may be the very thing the directors are looking for. These meetings are usually short
 and are devoted entirely to business. There is no dress suit or drawing room attachment. Ovcralls are just as vel come aS a Prince, Aibert
 The board has accomplished more in
 the last six or eight years than could
 be related in several columns but it
 would have done twice as much if il had had the cooperation of all business men. And that means farmers too for
 successful farmer is necessarily a
 business man. If 200 farmers and an other 100 townsmen, each the head of
 his own business, were added to the 200 and over members the board now has there would be four times as much
 accomplished in a year. There would
 be twice as many suggestions as now
 and twice as many people to make ef-
 fective everything undertaken and each
 project could be accomplished there
 fore with about one half the effort that
 is now expended The farmers need
 not fear that they will be considered
 as intruders for business is business
 and intrusion only makes more busi-
 ness.

ing both for the farmer and for the town and has hoped that it's influence
 might become even greater and more
 beneficial But until he read last Sun days Republican he had the idea tha' { the board was more of a silk stocking affair, a sort of a business mans club
 as it were, that required more or less red tape both in securing and in re- Jaining membership. He thought the candidate for membership had to apply
 with formality, be investigated. report ed upon as to his social or business standing and perhaps be voted on. as
 would be the case in club membership. Then too he thought it was an organ . iZation somewhat social in its nature. no doubt gaining the idea through a knowledge that the board has often acted as host on the occasion of dis tinguished individuals or parties visit
 ing the city.
 The essence of it all is that he
 thought it was not the place for the
 horny handed farmer, who was shy a
 long tailed black coat and a silk hat and who might be called upon to leave his blow and climb into an automobile along side of a railroad magnate, with out an opportunity to change his over alls. He always intends to do-his part but he thought that the board of trade was the bunch that attended to the drawing room features of building up country while the farmer's place was ankle deep in an irrigating ditch, doing the real work.
 But just as soon as it became clear to him that the board of trade is

ONE MORE FARMER
 SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
And at Least Two Hundred of His Fellow Asricuiturists Should Follow

The remarks in The Republican Of Sunday morning. on the apathy of the farmers of this valley, who should be lending at least the support of their membership to the board of trade, has had the result of adding at least one more member to the board Of trade. It is sincerely hoped other lar mers will follow the example of the one who came in yesterday, joined the board and paid a years dues. His name is not mentioned only because he gave no permission to use it, though it is very probable that he would had he been asked. Reference to the incl dent is made now merely because of some things this gentleman did say, showing that he had been laboring un der a wrong impression. and there may be many others who feel just as he did.
 The new member when he came in told the secretary that since he got better understanding of the board and and its membership. he felt that he could not afford not to belong to it. He has been grateful all the time for the good work the board has been do-

II. S. McLain made things fly at the
receiving hospital early yesterday morn
ing when Dan O'Neil a trusty, entered
the ward and began to clean the room.
McLain was arrested Monday at mid
night at Seventh and Gladys avenue by
Patrolman Morgan, who saw the fellow
acting in a strange manner and took
him to the station on charge OF in
sanity.
AS the man was not violent he was fas-
tened to the cot with only a leg iron
around his right ankle. On hearing the
trusty enter the room McLain jumped
up and succeeded in getting his left foot
on the floor. When the trusty attempted
to put him back In bed he grappled with
him and fought like a wild beast
In the struggle large quantity of plas-
tering was knocked from the wall. The
maniac soon flung the trusty aside and
jumped for the window. He succeeded in
tearing the screen down before he was
pulled away.
He then grasped a cuspidor. and threw
it with all his strength The noise at
tracted attendants, who, after terrific
struggle with the crazed man, fastened
irons on his wrists and put him back to

ONE DOLLAR ALLOWED
TO MRS. MARION MARVIN
Suit Charging SANDER Against Mrs.
Lulu Fouits Ends with Verdict
for Small Amount to
Plaintiff

Being called upon to pay out $4,000 of
good money during this period of finan-
cial stress was evidently regarded by a
jury yesterday in Judge Charles Monroe 5
court as altogether too extravagant for
one family, and so the amount was cut
down to so small sum that the plain
tiff's hopes fell correspondingly, which
was quite a drop, while the spirits of the
defendant just as correspondingly rose.
The jury brought in a verdict for 81 after
being out but short time, and its de-
cision was greeted with smiles or frowns.
according to the way the recipients
looked at the question and to what ex-
tent they were benefited.
The suit was that of Marion X. Mar
vim against Mrs. Lulu Foults, charging
the latter with making slanderous state
ments to other women regarding the
plaintiffs character. Three instances in
which Mrs. Foults was alleged to have
made these statements were named and
$4,000 was asked for each offense.
The original trouble appears to have re-
suited from a dispute over the election of
a president and other officers of the John
III. Reagan chapter, Daughters of the
Confederacy, and the testimony was filled
with recital of what one of the attor-
neys in his argument to the jury termed
ENVY, hate, ambition, malice and SLAM

retaliation he knocked both men down

with him, and Patrolman Crow brought
him to stop by firing shot over his
