Put your best foot forward, =

+ shirt +
+ + + + . + + + + 4. + I. + +
That Larned E. Meacham, the new
publicity manager of the commercial
club, is a live wire of the real type, is
being proven in the manner in which
he is taking hold of the work mapped
out by w. G. Strouther, who resigned
short time ago. Mr.. Meacham is
unassuming enough to make his efforts
the more noticeable, and those who
are interested in seeing the campaign
made a bowling success are patting
themselves on the back with the
knowledge that a man has been Sc
cured who can pilot the movement
through to what it was originally in
tended. In response to a question yes
terGay as to his Office hours, Mr..
Meacham, to a Statesman reporter,
said:
Il work from the time l get up in
the morning until bedtime III the even
ing. Then frequently 1 dream of my
duties, and am assisted in that way
sometimes My wife sometimes scolds
me for giving too much of my time to
the work l have in hand, but to a man
that is really interested in work,
hours have no bearing with him, and
he looks for but one thing-ultimate
success of the undertaking. 1t is the
only way"
Quaint Sayings.
Mr.. Meacham, who has had muck
experience in the line of publicity has
a full complement of quaint pointed
sayings, which he uses as Illustrations
for tight situations, and when con-
fronted with some unusual develop
ment, he is ready with some trite AK
iom that will fit the case.
