Firemen will Dance.

Members of the Missouri
Valley Firemen's Association
met last evening at their hall
to make arrangements for
their annual dance on Feb. %.
The meeting was called to ord
err by President James, who on
motion, appointed a committee
of three to make arrangements
for the ball, this committee to
appoint other committees to as
sist in the work. This dance
has become a part of the regul-
ar organization, the one this
season being the thirty fourth
annual ball.
1t is the intention to have
the hall decorated in fine shape
and good music will be Irocur-
ed for the occasion. There
will be dances for the elder
members Of the organization
and their friends and quadrilles
will be interpreted with
waltzes, two steps, five steps,
etc. The solicitors for tickets
will call on the business men
and citizens in general within
a few days.
The firemen's organization is
certainly worthy the support of
the people of Missouri Valley
for the excellent services renc-
cred in the past. Help the
boys along.

tive of an organization like
this and be moderator of the

within the last year. The ad-
ministrative work for the wear
just closed was marked Ky en-
ergy, by great care and pains
taking by thoroughness, by
terness, by the best judgment,
by pleasantness, by introduce
ing many new and interesting
parts to the program, by estab-
fishing the class in geography
and by representing the club
with honor as delegate to Mon
DAMN, that far famed city. So
| can safely say that 1907 has
been the greatest. We lbavc
gained much that is Of bene fit
to us in natural things, ard
profited in intellectual value,
nave gained in thought and
added much to the apartments
in the palace of knowledges so
with this history of improve
mcnt ard advancement lust
written, just fresh from the
hands of its builders, do you
wonder that it is with misgiv-
ings that | approach the golden
chair? | do not covet the place
but do sincerely appreciate the
benefaction and | promise you
that SO far as within me lies
that | will make the session of
the club for the ensuing year
both pleasant ard profitable vet
to accomplish this in any unlim-
tied degree the president should
have the hearty cooperation of
the entire membership this l
think is an axiom.
At each meeting the member

to the firing line should supply
him or herself with an abund-
ance of ammunition and be on
the firing line at 10a. M, sharp.
The success or achievement
of anyone depends mostly upon
the movements of it's sub-divi-
sions, of their being at a GER
tain place at a specified time of
every officer, messenger and
private being on time. The
successful business house is al

time with his plans, his plant

marketing. The visiting man
must be on time or 60 by way
freight and then quite often
walk from the station to the
end of his journey. The cook
must be on time with breakfast,
dinner and supper or the work
of the day greatly inconven-
fenced; so it is in a degree
when many members of the

There. are numberless, good

active members are aware OF
why this work of organization
should be made aggressive. l
believe that the most import.
ant question to the farmer;
hence to the club is the cost
price of farm products and at
what price they should be sold
to insure a reasonable profit
or a profit that is equal to that
obtained by other business men.
A persistent study of this ques-
ton, might evolve some high
financiering by the farmer, as
we'll as that accomplished by
the captains of manufacturing
industries, in financiering such
fancy and fixed prices upon i'm
plements, manufactured goods
ETC., which he, the farmer must
buy. Is it possible that the
farmers must remain a mega
tive quantity, in the forces,
that fix prices for him both
ways?

He writes that these organizs.
tions are nerve centers of

bers out of the old into the new
and better ways. They set
their members, young and old
alike to studying their own bust

the daily work, a love for tie

This means a useful and
