BUSINESS men BAN
AGAINST ADV. HUNTERS

To safeguard members of the Cham
Der OF Commerce from solicitors for
program advertising and others who So
licit for so called charitable publica-
tions, the chamber has created a censor
board which will have TO approve such
requests before members of the cham
ber can place their advertisements in
them. Such a plan was formed some
time ago by the Chamber OF Com
merce but they had no way Of enforcing
the rule. At a recent meeting the Cham
Der officials decided to impose a fine
on all members who violate this agree
ment
Large printed cards Will be printed
by the Chamber and hung in a con-
spicuous place by the merchant OF
professional man. This card will read
about as follows:
NOTICE TO SOLICITORS
No subscription, advertise
ment in souvenir program dOna-
tion or other contribution will be
made by us until we have refer
red it to the Chamber of Com
merce censorship committee, and
received a report relative 10 your
application. which must be made
in writing on blanks to be obtain
ed at that office"
This card is displayed prominently,
and experience in other cities has
shown that a large number of solicit
tors upon seeing the card will prompt
ly depart without making their de-
sires known. Such people do not
court an honest investigation of their
claims.
Should they, however. have suffi-
cient courage or confidence in their
proposition to ask the merchant to
investigate, they will then be con-
fronted by the application blank, sup
piled by the chamber.
Purposes Of the System.
The purposes of the system are
threefold:
First-To protect the chamber
member from annoyance by driving
away the Indeserving solicitor at the
outset
Second--To secure readily the facts
necessary for intelligent considera-
I ton of the adyisability of contribut-
ing. Many men do not object to Civ
ing where they believe it is a deserv-
ing cause.
Third-To obtain record OF posi-
tive statements made by the solicitor
for possible use in case of prosecution.
I This prevents collection where the agent
has failed to carry out his promises.
In almost every city where this sys-
/ tenn has been used, members say tina
it not only saved them more than their
annual dues. but has given the the salts
! faction that they were not giving their
hard-eaned money to takers.
This service will be free in Whining
] ton TO all members of the chamber 1t
is one of the many things to be put into
effect for the mutual benefit of mem
bcrs.

last year had trouble with one of the
Handy boys and he refused to return
to school this term. Ten days ago
Professor Cross went to the school
and as he approached the building he
heard a scream, and upon looking in
the window he saw the Handy boy
kicking the teacher By the time
Professor Cross reached the back door

Mrs. Handy came to the school later
and met Professor Cross. A stormy
scene followed. That evening, it is
alleged Mr.. Handy went to the teach

teacher to task for the treatment ac-
corded the boy. The next Friday the
teacher gave up her position. Pro-
fessor Cross subsequently called on
the members of the district school

and while with them Mr.. Handy ap-
peared and is said to have used
threats towards Professor Cross. Pro-
fessor Cross then swore out warrants
for the arrest of Mr.. and Mrs. Handy,
charging them with breach of the
peace. The case has been continued
until Wednesday, but in all probable
ity the trouble will not come to trial.

field considerably. Stories innumerable
have been written; but this interesting
