(IIrR

II Is amusing TO the farmer to note
the interest the city man is taking
in him since, by strict attention to
business. not by beginning work at
$3.50 or o'clock Gas some of our
city brothers do but, by getting at ii
early and staying late as the occasion
requires he has come into a very
comfortable way of living and a way
of getting what he wants. Mr.. Farm
er is. in a way, the central figure just
now.
A farmers club in South Bend is
not necessary TO our happiness. We
have not vet come to the time when
we cannot welcome and entertain our
guests in our homes. and as far -
isolation is concerned, we are past
that long since
our wives will say il is not neces-
sary 10 their happiness TO he able to
chat over the back fence (as per city
wife,.

To the city-well. we get there very
easily when necessary, and you. Mr..
City Man, get just as much Of our ap-
probation and patronage as circum-
stances allow. When il comes 10

can see no benefit therein whatso-

NE " BYLAWS To
EASE WORK Of
COMMERCE BODY
Old Rules Thrown Into Discard
and Entire New Set of
Regulations Will Simplify
Operation of Chamber.

To effect a complete reorganization
of the Chamber OF Commerce new
bylaws are being drawn up and the
old ones have been thrown into the
waste basket.
All the directors having resigned,
this will effect a complete reorgani-
zation. That the present laws govern
ing the body are inefficient is the
opinion of those at the head of the
organization, as in the past il has
been customary 10 go into minute de-
tail as to the objects eligibility, mem
bership, duties of officers, meetings
and the details OF administration
Under the new plan the bylaws will
be stated as terse and succinct as pos
sible, the work of committees and
officers being merely outlined. The
name and object will be stated in
brief. Persons, associations and cor
porations interested in the prosperity
Of South Bend will be eligible to
membership, if the new organization
is effected as planned.
No Free Memberships.
There will be no gratuitOus mem
berships and every member will have
his interest in the organization stimu-
lated by the knowledge that back of
the membership is his money Even
the present members are signing the
for a three years membership fol-
lowing the end of the current half
year. This being done on the we'll
established theory that the chamber,
like any other business. must have
an assured capital in the form of dues
for the experimental period during
which organization is making its
mark.
Members may acquire more than
one membership. Plural member
ships may be assigned TO individuals
thus bringing to the organization a
large number of young men who
would otherwise be unable to join.
No matter how many memberships a
corporation or firm may hold they
will be entitled to only one vote un-
less their memberships are assigned
to individuals in which the individ-
uals vote as regular members.
Will Have Nine Directors.
The government of the chamber
will be vested in a small compact
board of nine directors, where in the
past there were 21. Directors will be
nominated by direct primary ballot
and all nominees will become candi-
dates, their names appearing on the
election ballots in the order of the
number OF votes received in the pri-
mary election.
AT the nrSt election the three nom
inees receiving the highest number
of votes will serve for three years.
and the three next highest two years,
the three next highest one year. Aft
er the first election there will be elect
ed three directors to serve three
years. This gives an overlapping not
possible when an entire directorate is
elected each year.
In the new bylaws the machinery
for calling meetings will be simplified
and stated briefly. The president will
appoint such standing committees as
he may deem necessary. Finally the
bylaws may be amended at any regu-
lar or special meeting OF the entire
chamber
