BOOST HARD NOW
Il Is to Your Interest TO Help
Push On The Commercial
Club Organization.
FRIDAY NIGHT IS THE TIME.
Club viii Start With Large Member.
ship. Meeting TO Organize Is
Open to Everybody.


One OF The most enthusiastic move
mentsin public way for the benefit
of.the town that has ever been wit
messed in Western Kansas has been
started in Dodge City in the prelim
mary work Of organizing perman-
ant, husting, boosting commercial
club. The initial meeting for the
start on organization will be held at The
Phenix club on next Friday night.
While the movement is wholly apart
from the Phenix club, the first meet
ing will be held tb 10. because there
is warmth and SCI ang capacity there
and because tho Stub has always been
willing to furnish room for any meet
ing for the public good Of the town.
When the club is organized it will
promptly rent headquarters where its
secretary will have an Office and
where its meetings can be held. II
will be strictly a business club and
will be prepared to fight Dodge City
and Ford county battles early and
late.
At the meeting held on Friday
night to talk over making this start
the sentiment was strong for organic
ing q club that would take in the
young men Of the town, and there are
q lot Of active energetic young bust
ness men here who will make things
thum, when organized and in the
field. This idea was brought strongly
'out by Lieutenant Governor Fitzser
aid, who on the spur Of the momen
outlined an excellent plan by which
the club could be organized so that
the young man who could not afford
to put up q big sum as =, itiation
fee and dues could still be as strong
member as any one and bring bis en-.
ergy, bis ideas and personal help into
the work. Aud il is upon the young
business men that the success Of the
club viii depend. The idea, carried
out, will result in locating things
that will benefit the town and county,
roping them. and then in every one
old and young getting hold Of the
rope and dragging them in.
II is especially hoped that the
young men Of the town will not un-
derestimate their importance in join
ing this club. II is time for them to
look upon this as their town, their
county, and their club. The older
ones have fought the battles OF early
settlement, have hung on nobly and
accomplished much, and it is time for
the younger ones TO give lift, not in
large sums OF money, but in work
and ideas, and enthusiasm.
A committee was selected. last Fri
day night to formulate q plan by
which club can be organized to give
all an equal show as members, and
making the expense equitable. 1t is
understood that the committee will
submit plan on the line suggested
by Mr.. Fitzgerald, and that will be
fair andacceptable.to all. The meeting
Friday night will be an open meet
ing. No one should need an invita-
ton to attend. Ifyou live In Dodge
City and would like to see the best
possible conditions here, ifyou would
like 70 see the place grow, II You
would like to see Ford !county grow
