Tuesday morning G.. j. Funk, elect
ed president of the Chamber of Com
mcrce Il couple Of months ago. handed
in his resignation. The cause of the
resignation is due primarily TO the
fact that the members Of the Chamber
fail to give the officers of the a>socia-
ton the support which they should.
The matter Of a street fair and farm
ers' institute for this fall had been un-
utI discussion IDF some Jlint ana tnc
executive board of the farmers organ
iZation have been interested and will
ing participants. On three different
occasions meetings Of the executive
committee Of the chamber has been
called to meet with the representatives
Of agriculture and take definite action
to have the exhibition, but on each
occasion the members of the executive
committee of the cha ambcr have failed
to put in an appearance and the meet
| ing could not be held. Weary Of such
| inactivity Mr.. Funk resigned. Apro-
! pos Of this SeStic condition one is
/ tempted to say great deal, but tbso-
| lutte silence and withheld criticism per
| haps will be the most impressive.
| Some of these days a loud clap OF
| thunder Will wake US up with start,
| and we will have cause to be thankful
| if it does not prove fatal.-Stcrling
