the club should have q larger member

fessional man in town should be an
active member Of the club. There il
vet much to be done If the city OF
Grants Pass shall enjoy the full
fruition of her splendid possibilities
The matter of good roads is ever a
pertinent topic the club even
though the pubic roads may be outside
the city. The club can do much in
the way of encouragement for better
roads into the outside settlements and
thus brings increased trade to Grants
Pass. When all the business meu get

the town or country, improvement is
bound to be the result. Every bust
ness man should consider membership

Though 1t handles some thousand
million dollars a year, the United
States government is not unapprecia'
tive Of the value OF small things, such.
for example. as a piece OF secondhand
Irvine. Perhaps the ordinary ragpick'
er wouldn't regard it as a good bust
ness principle to stoop for discarded
twelve inch string when he is hurry
ing through the city at dawn In keen
competition with all classes OF rag
pickers for what there Is OF CONNER
cial value In the ash barrels and scrap
heaps. But that may be due wholly
to his inability TO fOresee some Of the
future possibilities in the practice Of
noticing such trivial things. Similarly
IT may be that a certain government
employee who attached himself to the
New England division Of the United
States railway mail service six or
seven years ago did not pin much faith
In little dingy string pieces, for he was
some grades above the trained rag
picker In the social scale. Yet he
stopped to pick up such string pieces as
came under his observation in the or
binary routine of his business, and it
resulted in the bestowal upon him of
distinction which has not come to his
companions of less economical tenden-
cies. How much II counts toward his
promotion in the service Is problemat-
Ical, but it has carried his name and
fame with favorable comments to the
attention of the United States postof-
fee authorities, says the Boston Tran
script
When this man reaches the next step
up and his salary is increased accord
ingly, he will have some difficulty in
dissociating his luck from the little
string pieces he has picked up in his
years Of service, and his mind may be
coached by a little justified pride in the

A Eiaht For MoonIiaht.

Under the headline "a Fight For
Moonlight" the MorgenpOst Of Berlin
says: Artists and all lovers Of the
beautiful are arrayed against the mu-
nicipal authorities Of Venice, by whom
It has been proposed to illuminate the
Grand canal with gas. The canal has
never been brilliantly lighted except
on festival occasions. but W. eaFUsi
The moonlight has been sumcient
Modernism in all its forms has been at
work along the waterways, and now
the moon Is to be eclipsed, probably
because It frowns upon the motor boat
The charm Of the Venetian night, the
Undesirable light and shadow effects,
the mystery, romance and imagination
lurking in the dark corners Of the pal
ace walls, all these will vanish before
the loud. shrill, poetry destroying
light" The protest movement has
taken the form OF a monster petition
to the city authorities, and the artists,
authors and lovers Of the beautiful
who have signed It say that this is q
fight for Venetian moonlight"

To know how to use the forest he
