bers on the rolls Of the San Jose
Chamber of Commerce. Following this
came the removal of that body to
handsomely fitted up new quarters
and following that came the voting of
this city to annex the Gardner and
Crandalyille districts. Then came the
voting of $4,000 in bonds for city
Improvement in many ways. Then
East San Jose walked into the city
and broke the line Of boundaries that
had stood as a bar between that clean
little city and San Jose for years.
Now The Alameda, Hester and Cottage
Grove are knocking at the doors of
this progressive community, big can
manufacturing plant has sought To-
cation here, subdivision after subdi-
vision, both in city and valley have
been opened up and buyers have come
to take their alottments quickly.
GOD helps those who help them
selves. An inert, lifeless San Jose
and Santa Clara Valley, touched by the
spirit of benevolent charity, have
shown citizenship that could stand
in solid phalanx for progress, for
home and for native land and the end
lis not yet. The building committee
of the Y. NJ. G. A. was among the most
active workers who brought about this
great change in this community. The
members Of that committee are: G. d.
Blaney, chairman; Hiram A. Blanch
ard, president of the Y. NJ. G. A.;
Professor j. E. Hancock, E. n. Rich
mond, president of the Chamber of
Commerce; and George G. Wilson, the
never happy.unless-busy secretary of
Y. M. c. A. To these men San Jose
oes a lot and, San Jose awakened,
owes a lot and, San Jose awakened
C. A. for the upbuilding of mankind
and the establishment of home for
those who do not know where to go
than to aught else. This debt the
citizenship Of this city and this valley
may only repay by a neyer-ending
support of this institution that is soon
to be housed in new and magnificent
home, better than which no city the
size of San Jose may boast, through
out the world. Hail to the new, the
modern home Of the Young Men s
christian Association! May it be in

The campaign for funds for the
above building was launched at the
st. James Hotel Of San Jose, May 5.
1911. The goal was 100000 to be Sc
cured IN ten days. The campaign
closed on the tenth day with $141, 900
in hand and subscribed
How the campaign was accomplish
ed and the effect it had on the civic
life of San Jose is told by Ira B.
McMahill in the Morning Times Of
that city:
son the corner Of Santa Clara and
Third streets in this city for the last
few days there has been a scene lof
activity and one Of destruction. An
old landmark, in the business portion
of San Jose, has been torn down. The
lot on which these old structures stood
has frontage on East Santa Clara
street Of 57h fees. It extends back
in Third street SO feet and there joins
with another lot with frontage Of
6S1a feet which runs easterly into the
block for 1915 feet. This is the
property Of the Young Men 5 Christian
Association Of San Jose and on it is
to be built Immediately a four, OF per-
haps, five story block of modern ar
chitecture and finish throughout for
the San Jose Y NJ G. A. The lot fac
ing Third street mas been the property
of the association for some time, but
the corner property was purchased but
few months ago. All this improve
ment has been made possible by the
fact that San Joseans and their fell
low citizens of Santa Clara Valley
have shown their liberality and enter
prise by raising by subscription over
$4,000 for the corner lot and a new
Y. M G. A. building. The campaign
that was started last spring for the
building of a Y. NJ G. A. structure
such as this city needed and such as
would be a credit to it, was one that
gave impetus to other things. The ac-
complishment of the project for raising
this sum of money, which was put
through in ten days, created an ~
believe in San Jose and Santa Clara
Valley sentiment that would not
down. AS a result of this much
needed awakening there followed a
campaign that placed over 1000 mem

If that attempt to hold boxing
show Monday evening was intended
as a feeler out for the sheriff it sery-
cd it's purpose. 1t was demonstrated
that the sheriff's orders against box
ing mean exactly what they say and
that there was no exception to the
rules laid down by him. The show
which was stopped was a local affair
in every way and was of the kind
that it was expected would be held in
this city when revival of the box
ing game was first permitted in Keno
sha and the action taken by the
sheriff should show the sports that
everything is "off" now in Kenosha.

WANT MORE PROTECTION.
Men Who Pay Game Licenses Want
Money Used by Department.


1t is practically certain that the
next legislature viii be asked to re-
peal that section Of the game laws
which transfers the unused portion OF
the income of the state fish and game
department to the general fund Last
year this excess was 1928, 255.62.
Sportsmen from many parts Of the
state have written State Game War
den John A. Shots expressing their
disapproval Of this law. They wait
all such receipts Of the department
most Of which are hunting licenses
fees, to be used in securing better ana
more efficient supervision.
Resolutions concurring IN this opia-
ion were passed BY the Wisconsin
farmers institute at Neenah last
week, the text OF which follows:
I'VE ask larger place for nature
study in the courses Of study offered
in the agricultural college Of the uni
versity, and that the subject of the
economic value Of birds and their
protection have place in all in
stitute work
"That we heartily approve of the
educational work recently started by
the fish and game warden department.
calculated to show the Importance of
protection Of song birds, as well as
our fish and game, and that all money
collected for hunting licenses should
be expended by this department in the
extension Of information Of the
economic value of mammals, fish and
birds Of the. state.
The only portion Of the depart
ment IS income which is not required
to turn into the general fund is a
sum given to the state fish commits
sion with which to gather minnows
left in the sloughs of the Mississippi
river which the commission distributes
for propagation purposes in various
parts of the state.
Because the cost of maintenance of
the fish and game department is borne
by persons desiring the privilege to
hunt Of fish in the state, and is not
incident from direct tax levy upon
the people, the opinion is growing
that all such money should be. used
for The protection Of fish and game

much the same as today.
But if the good housewife of today
was obliged to prepare the thanksgiv-
ing feast with the utensils and incon-
veniences of the kitchen Of three CEN
lures ago she probably would throw
up her hands in hopeless despair. The
kitchen with it's great glowing fire
place was the housewives domain and
the general living room Of the entire
family. The walls and the floor were
bare and the furniture meager and
comfortless, while the kitchen furnish
ings were odd and strange. 1t was In
this great cavernous chimney that the
Pilgrim wife cooked her Thanksgiving
dinner. Placed high up in the yawn-
ing chimney was the heavy backbar,
or lug-hole, of green wood. afterwards
displaced by the great iron crane. 1t
was beyond reach of the flames, and
from it hung motley collection OF
hooks of various lengths and weights.
They had many different names, such
as pot-hooks, pot-hangles. pot-claws,
pot-cleps, trammels. crooks, hakes,
gallow-balke, words that would puz-
zle a housewife of today to define.
From these were suspended the pots
and kettles in which the food was
cooked. At both sides of the fire

One of the most interesting fea-
Connecticut was the experimental en-
ployment, on an extensive scale. OF

tons of freight were handled through
the bases Of supply during the eight
days of mimic war, says the Phlla-
delphia Press Some of the trucks
were geared to run as fast as 80
miles an hour, and it was in the Work
OF conveying expeditiously the bag
gage from the bases of supplies to
the secondary bases that these trucks,
according to expert opinion, con-
clusively demonstrated that they had
displaced the male-train In this field.

All efforts of physicians and others
realizing sense of the Importance of
wearing correctly shaped, properly fit
ting shoes appear to have been lost
on some people. The New York state
retail shoe dealers, in convention at
Utica, found it advisable to adopt a
resolution asking manufacturers to
freak shoes. says the Washington
Union. The retail shoe dealers assert
that their loss. on freaks and changes
in styles is one of the prime causes
for the increasing prices of shoes.
In brief the losses on those accounts
must needs be made up in some way,
and the consumer pays the freight.
incidentally, it may be noted that the
New York state retail shoe dealers
adopted another resolution which
tends to offset testimony given in
court and contained in sundry circu-
lar letters and other literature with
which most newspaper offices are ac-
quainted; for this resolution asks the
national organization to move in the
effort to dissolve the monopoly held
in some of the machines used in the
