Meeting Last Night Brought Out the Most Representative Citizens to Gather in Response to Public Call Here in Many Months.

It is doubtful if there has ever been public meeting in the history of Hot Springs that resulted in such open and frank discussion of questions affect ing this community and which later materialized into a decided benefit Tor this resort, as was the case last night, when representative citizens as- sembled in the Business Mems League to discuss the question of winters advertising campaign for Hot Springs.
 feature of the meeting was the fact that the men of this city, prop erty holders, business and profession- al men, men who do things for the
 city, responded to the call, and there
 was assembled large delegation that was good to look upon.
 The keynote or the meeting was ad-
 vertising-the placing of Hot Springs before the people of the United States
 in most beneficial manner and mak- ing those who are wont to do their sightseeing realize that in the Arkan-
 sas Hot Springs there is to be found the greatest health giving waters in
 the world. The question was fully and freely discussed, and the result of the meeting was the appointment of committee by Martin A. Eisele, president of the Business Mems League. who was elected chairman of the meeting, consisting of George A. Callahan, chairman; George R. Bead- ing, Dr. T. E. Holland, Frank Walker, Col. w. J. Little, Gus Strauss and John c. Higgins. whose duty it will 3e to seiect an assessment committee, who will levy upon every business and professional man, going into "all ave- nues of local industry" as it was put, an assessment towards one of the greatest advertising funds this city has ever raised.
 The assessment committee will be selected with much care. There will be doctors on the committee to visit their colleagues and make assess ments in that respect. Grocery men will look after the members of their organization; the same will hold good with the druggists, so that every in- dustry. business and professional, will be assessed by a member of their al- lied interests, and the work of raising the money will start.
 In calling the meeting to order Chairman Eisele stated the object of the session, saying that now was ths time for Hot Springs to take advan- tage of the golden opportunity that presented itself to advertise Hot Springs. He referred to the fact that would have to be selected to preside, and he was unanimously made chair man, with John c. Higgins named as secretary. Chairman Eisele asked for a full and frank discussion of the question" and Dr. c. Travers Dren- nen was the first speaker.
 Dr. Drennen stated that when he was asked to attend the meeting he had replied that Hot Springs had come to that state where it was necessary to put up or shut up' and said he believed it would be better to put up than to smut up. lie sald that While every one in Hot Springs desired har- mony, it, after all, was hominy-some- thing to eat-that was most needed. that what should be done would be to have a resolution adopted or some similar action taken, whereby 't would be possible for a committee from all organizations and interests in Hot Springs to endorse Se proposi- tion and let the committees get to- gether. He claimed that there was q feeling among the medical fraternity that their interests were not being properly protected, and that the doc tors of the city would not be inclined. under present conditions, to contri- butte as generously in the future as --------------------
