SOUTHERN BOYS
IN CIVIC WORK

New York. Jan. 27.-Possibly not
the first commercial organization in
this country to stand out boldly and
announce that it believes real city
building is possible only through con-
scious and intelligent civic effort, yet
there are few that accentuate this
phase of civic work as does the Win
ston-Salem board of trade. This or
ganization is one of the first in the
South to conduct its work on such a
basis. Maintaining that commercial
organization does not perform its le-
climate functions unless it makes an
effort to advance the social conditions
of the people, the Winston-Salem board
of trade has sought to organize the
boys of the city into militant body

There is a species of very small
monkey found in the Brazilian forests
which is remarkable FOR its gentle
ness, the delicate elegance of its ap-
pearance, and its almost human con
duct. Bounding from branch to branch
or from tree to tree, it has every ap-
pearance of a bird When hanging
from a tree aslep it looks like a black
doll. It's dark, soft eyes are very
large, its coat is like a black velvet

gray beads.

for the improvement of general civic
conditions.
This has been accomplished by the
formation of a department known as
the Juvenile Club of the Winston-Sa-
lem board of trade, in which member
ship is restricted to boys between the
ages of IA and IS years To become
member of this club each boy is re-
quired to memorize the Athenian oath,
which is as follows:
I'VE will never bring disgrace to
this, our city, by any act Of dishonesty
or cowardice, nor ever desert our suf-
fering comrades in the ranks; we will
fight for the ideals and sacred things
of the city, both alone and with many;
we will revere and obey the city's
laws and do our best to incite like
respect and reverence in those above
them at naught; we will strive unceas-
ingly to quicken the public sense Of
civic duty. Thus, in all these ways we
will transmit this city not less, but
greater, better and more beautiful than
it was transmitted to u.s."
After boy has appeared before the
secretary of the board of trade and
recited this oath he is presented with
certificate of membership, which
states that the holder, having memoir
lied and subscribed to the oath Of the
patriotic youth of ancient Athens, has
been enrolled as a member Of the
Juvenile Club of the Winston-Salem
board Of trade and is entitled to all
the privileges thereof so long as he
shall prove true to his obligations.
Regular meetings for the boys are
held under the direction of the secre-
tary of the board of trade where city
problems are explained and debated
Members of the Juvenile Club also
have the privilege of attending all the
regular meetings of the board of
trade and see at first hand how the
work of the organization is carried on.
They are assigned special committee
work, and are encouraged in every way
possible to take an active and intelli-
gent part in the affairs of the city.
The popularity of this new depart
ure in commercial organization work
which is being undertaken by the Win
ston-Salem board of trade is only an
other indication of the economic revo-

GOOD EXCHANGES.

Most everybody has some article
about the house that is no longer of
use to them. Maybe the article is
as good as new, but for some reason
can not be used by the owner.
Now, maybe, the article stored away
in your attic or basement is the very
thing somebody else is wanting. The
chances are that this somebody else
has the thing you want.
Wouldn't it be the simplest matter
in the world for you to put a little ad

would swap it for? Many good trades
have been made in that way. Try it.

FEDERAL AID
GOOD ROADS MEET

Washington, March 6.-The second
Federal Aid Good Roads Convention,
under the auspices of the American
Automobile Association, began a two
day session here today at the Raleigh
Hotel with delegates in attendance
from nearly every State in the Union
All records of last years successful
meet are eclpsed in every way, owing
to the fact that greater interest
has been aroused in the movement
throughout the Nation, also because
there are so many visitors in Wash
ngton who came to attend the inaugu-
ration of President Wilson.
Farmers, business men and road
users will be involved in what I'M
doubtedly will be the most interesting
session of the convention this evening.
The National Grange, the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States and
the American Automobile Association
have supplied their most prominent
highway advocates for tonight's ad-
dresses.
Ex-United States Senator Jonathan
Bourne, who was chairman of the joint
committee of Congress now investigat-
ing the subject of Federal aid, will
preside at the gathering, the conclu-
sion of which will be in the form OF
an illustrated talk by Warden Thomas
]. lyman of the Colorado State peni-
Tertiary. No man in the United States
has accomplished so much as Warden
lyman in the use of prison inmates
in the building of roads, and all this
with methods that embrace an honor
system, an absence of guards and the
wearing of citizens clothing.
The National Grange spokesman will
be c. S. Stetson of Maine, chairman
of its executive committee, one who
has given much thought to the roads
question in its relation to the men
and women living in the country.
President Harry A. Wheeler will speak
for the Chamber of Commerce, and the
interest of his organization in the i'm
of the highways has been
an inevitable development. The auto
mobile industry, the growth of which
has been a business wonder, is well
in the National Chamber
Of Commerce. Prominent examples
are H. A. Medium, former president
Of the Automobile Club of Buffalo and
now president of the Washington
Cd. c. Chamber of Commerce, and
G. c. Hanch, president of the Indian
apolis Chamber of Commerce and iden-
tified with one of the largest motor
car manufacturing concerns.
