Charge of Retail Affairs.

Appointment OF members OF standing
committees for 1914 and 1915 were
confirmed at meeting of the board of
directors of the Moline Commercial
club last evening. For the first time
appointments were made on the retail
committee, which was provided for
last year, but never filled. This com
mittee will have charge of all affairs
affecting the interests of the retail
trade and will have as an especial duty
the encouragement of trade by Molin-
ers in Moline.
The proposal thtat a soda fountain
be installed at the club rooms where
soft drinks can be secured came up
for discussion, but was rejected. The
amendment to the bylaws providing
for temporary membership in the club
was approved, as follows:
The New Clause.

the privileges of the club extended

plication to the committee for the
granting of such privilege. The appli-
cation must be in writing and signed
by the party for whom such is requir-
ed, and must be accompanied by the
sum of So, this being the amount fixed
for the special monthly dues for such
privileges in such cases. The app1i-
cation must also be endorsed by two

mittee may grant such application as
it sees fit and renew same from month
to month upon payment of the special

fit.''
