COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS.
Regular Monthly Meeting Well At
tended and Several Matters
Discussed.

The regular meeting of the De-
corah Commercial Club was held at
the city hall Friday with a good at
tendance. The business men of the
city were we'll represented, but ev-
cry one of them ought to be men,
Der of the club and attend the meet
ings, for certainly the club has DEM
onstrated in the past year what a
great advantage it may be to a city.
The meeting opened with the
reading of correspondence by the
secretary, embracing several matters
of interest to Iowa cities, after which
Mr.. Ben Bear read his annual report
as treasurer, showing a balance on
hand of $24S.26. Mr.. Severt Larsen
then reported upon the preliminary
work done by the park commission
in the new city park, and upon mo-
ton of l.. l.. Caldwell he was given Il
vote of thanks for his services in this
connection.
Hon. l.. NJ. Enger then presented
the matter of the agricultural short
course, expressing the hope that it
might be taken up by the club, and
explaining the requirements. Vari-
Gus members of the club spoke upon
this matter, all agreeing in the splen-
did results to be obtained from a
short course, and on motion the
president was authorized to appoint
a committee to carefully investigate
the matter and report at the next
meeting of the club.
On motion it was decided to hold
an annual banquet again this year,
and Ben Bear, H. A. Warner and II.
j. Green were appointed a commit
tee to make arrangements for the
same.
The same committee as last year
was appointed upon program, and a
suggestion that future meetings be
held in the small court room of the
court house was agreed upon. After
report by Mr.. Bear upon what the
club has accomplished in road work,
the meeting adjourned.

And still you call your girl a peach
Though sad experience should teach
Most of its life the peach is hard
And green and bitter and debarred
From all mems love; that is sweet
For days both few and incomplete,
And even then, although not tart,
1t is stormy at it's heart;
And think how all its charm is flown
When quickly it DER ripe has grown
So is it proper, i beseech,
For you to call your girl peach

Steers produce greater flesh
