The Junior Chamber of Commerce

doing now, and when their time comes
they will be better equipped than you
are to solve the Towns problems.
Not lor,: ago Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
found Itself prospecting in many ways,
but changing it's character. and not for
the better, because it's young men
were all going out into the world"
Then one day bright-looking
youngster went to Mr.. Henry T. Hoag,
then secretary Of the Poughkeepsie
Chamber Of Commerce, and telling him
that he had finished high school, ask
ed his advice as to what city he should
make his future in.
why don't you stay right here at
home?" asked Mr.. Hoag.
Why" said the boy, 81 should like to
stay in Poughkeepsie but there doesn't
seem to be anything here for young
fellow to do. l had an opportunity to
take a position but at the last moment
the man for whom hoped to work de-
cided that it would be better for him
to hire a clerk from out of town"
Twill you take a position here if
will find one for you?" inquired Mr..
Hoag.
The boy assured him that he would
be glad to do so, and the deal was
made. Then Mr.. Hoag began to think
about the other boys of POughkeepsie.
The result was the formation of the
Poughkeepsie Junior Chamber of Com
merce, with a membership of bright
young boys, all of them are interested
in their town and who are working for
it all the time. Several of them had
intended to leave Poughkeepsie, but
since formation Of the Junior Cham
Der Of Commerce, have decided to stay
at home. The place now looks good
enough for them. They have aided
their fathers in bringing about cleaner
streets for Poughkeepsie. They have
aided in cleaning up vacant lots, they
have aided materially in raising the
moral standard of the town.
Poughkeepsie is keeping it's best
products at home. It's boys and young
men have better sense Of their own
possibilities than have the boys and
young men Of the average city Of it's
size. 1t has made a wise move.
Why shouldn't this town organize
Junior Chamber of Commerce?

SAN JOSE SCALE
BAD THIS YEAR

San Jose scale Is at its worst this
year and is liable to do great damage
to the fruits. Until this year, few
farmers have made any attempt to
keep their orchard trees free from the
destructive insect. Frost has not
damaged peaches, apples or other
fruit and unless the scale prevents
the maturing of the fruits, the crop
will be good this year.
County Agent Cob bias been hold
Ing horticultural meetings for nstruc.
ton of farmers in spraying and prun
ing trees. He plans extention work
in this line, but because of the ad
vanced season will be able to do little
good this year Concentrated lime
sulphur is the best remedy but this
kills the buds after they have swelled.

1t will be the governor of the finan-

which will control financial affairs alb
solutely.
With this end in view, the organiza-
ton committee divided the country
into districts and the banks in those
districts will keep their reserves in
these banks. This will take away
from New York city, the immense vol
ume of money that flowed into the
metropolis from every section of the
country and distribute it among the
twelve districts that have been
named.
Competition will be maintained be-
tween the different reserve banks for
the discounting- business of the vari-
Gus districts, New York, for instance,
may get the business of Florida ship
pers, but the New Workers will have
to compete with the Atlanta banks by
furnishing lower discount rate. The
organization committee believes that
Atlanta will look after its own inter-
ests SO that the bulk of its business
will not be DETECTED northward.
The scheme Of opening to the bank
ers new system of check clearances
to displace the present system of col
lections which banks outside of the
clearing house cities have to rely
upon, is expected to be a great benefit
to bankers generally.

through the repetition of last years

HUERTA MUST ACT
BY SUNDAY NIGHT
Secretary Bryan Gives Au-
thorized Version of VIII
sons Ultimatum.

WASHINGTON, April 1s-Presiden,
Wilson's ultimatum that President
Huerta fire the salute to the Ameri
can flag means that the Mexican die
tator will have to indicate by six
o'clock tomorrow night that he will
fire the salute. This was the expla.
nation authorized by Secretary of
State Bryan after a conference with
the President this afternoon.
The secretary of state further stated
that the reason for the length of per
Tod fixed by the president was that
there is no Geographic communication
between Mexico City and Tampico
and that it would therefore be practi-
cally impossible for the salute actually
to be fired by six o'clock tonight. The
PresiSent therefore will accept Huer-
ia @fomise to order the salute in ac-
corIance with the American demand
instead of demanding the salute itself
as had been previously intended.
The evidence of trouble with Next
cc~will not prevent President Wilson

ton. Mrs. Wilson is reported to be in
highly nervous state and the presi-
ident is anxious that she receive ev-
cry possible attention on her way
home. He will return with her to
Washington early Monday. During his
absence of thirty-two hours the presi-
dent will be in close touch with the
situation through Secretary Bryan
who will not go to Miami, Fla, to-
night as he intended. For the first
time since the stirring days of the
Spanish American war the "war
room at the White House today was
pressed into service to make the
necessary arrangements for the presi-
dents trip. Reservations were made
