the Commercial club has given finan

summer concerts given by that organ

mony with other organizations work.
ing for civic and commercial better
ments. Entire accord exists between
the club and the city council and the
Woman S club.
The Dallas Commercial club was
organized March 81, 1911. A. B. Muir
was the first president and W. L.
Tooze, Jr., the first secretary. U. S.
Loughary was first vice-president. In
the following year Eugene Foster,
then publisher of The Observer, was
elected president, and with his cleo
ton came the adoption of new con-
stitution and bylaws, providing for
board of directors, whose duty
would be to elect the president, vice
president and secretary. In 1913 w.
V. Fuller was elected secretary and
W. l.. Tooze, Jr., was continued as
secretary. From that time until the
present the president has not been
changed, although in 1914 E. W.
Miles was selected as secretary, and
this year U. S. Loughary holds Of
flee. AT the present time, in addi-
ton to the president, the officers of
the club are N. L. Guy, vice-presi-
dent; U. S. Loughary, secretary and
Eugene Hayter, treasurer. The board
of directors include j. R. Craven,
Henry Serr, w. L. Soehren, A. C.
Peterson, Lew A. Gates. M. L. Boyd,
A. B. Muir, A. L. Martin and w. G.
Vassall.
The most apparent need of the
Commercial club, if it is to continue
on its successful career, is an addi-
ton to its membership. Many mem
bers could be added from the business
and commercial representatives in the
city. The attendance at club meeting
it not all that it should be; members
do not take quite the proper interest
in the activities of the organization,
and the merchants, that class which
should be better represented than any
other, are not holding up their end Of
the interest or of the work. The club
should by all means have permanent
home, where its meetings could be
held and where the products of the
city and county could be properly
displayed to the public. Another fea-
ture Of such permanent home would
be its usefulness in entertaining Wis
itors to Dallas. There is no place
now that would be even a resting
place for visitors and the proper club
home would be the solution of this
perplexing problem. These are a few
of the things in which the Dallas
Comercial club will interest itself in
the coming year. And that it will |
continue to broaden in scope and val
lie to the city is the club s chief am
bition at the beginning of a brighter
and better year.

The Edison is the GREATEST as well as the
LATEST TONE REPRODUCING machine. The
NEW EDISON DIAMOND DISC IS THE ONLY
Tone Reproducing Machine that absolutely salts
fes the love for real music, and the only instru-
ment in existence that reproduces tone naturally,
with all the tone color preserved.
Before you invest your money in Talking
Machine you owe it to yourself to hear the Edison
Disc. In perfecting this machine, Mr. Edison has
proved that Man only advances as he overcomes
the obstructions of Nature, and this is done only
by labor and thought" He has spared no ex-
pense and devoted years of his life as well.
The sole object was to produce Musical In
strument that was perfection. The result was

Shape Of the Earth.

On the earth and on Mars the
oceans dominate the austral bemis-
phere. This fact may be attributed
to the translation of these two plan
cts in a south-north direction across
the primitive nebula. The rotation
so set up would result in the produc-
ton of cold currents which might
cause the temperature to become in
ferior to 364 degrees, the critical
temperature of water, and the cur
rents would be such as to cause the
condensation of the oceans to be pro-
duced round the south pole, and to
determine that the direction of the
currents should be toward the equa-
tor, which explains the pointed form
of the austral continents. The theo-
retical calculation of the velocities of
these currents and the amount Of
solid matter transported by them is
verified by direct measurement. Thus,
1000 meters beneath the surface of
the sea the magnitude of the oceans
is constant on the parallels of the
austral hemisphere, and the magni-
tude of the continents is constant on
the parallel of the boreal hemisphere.

MADE THE TRIP TO LIBERIA.
Joe Cannon, Who Went With Colony
to Africa, Dead.

Anderson. Jan. 15.-In the sud-
den death here today in a black
smith shop of Joe Cannon, for the
past thirty years a weil-known char
acter about the city, there passed
away probably the last survivor in
the country of the memorable exodus
of negroes to Liberia which went out
of Charleston some thirty-five years
ago on the good ship Azores, the voy-
age of which was made all the more
famous by reason of the fact that A.
B. Williams, then on the staff of the
News and Courier, and later editor
Of the Greenville News, accompanied
the expedition across the Atlantic,
and through articles sent back to his
paper kept the public Informed of
the adventurous voyage of the Az
ores. Joe Cannon made the trip to
Liberia with an uncle, who had con-
siderable money. The two were liv-
ing in Newberry at the time. Soon
after reaching Liberia the uncle's
money gave out and he and his
nephew set about getting money
from home for the return voyage.
After some eight months they re-
turned to America, and soon after
Joe Cannon took up his residence in
Anderson, where he followed the
trade of brick mason.

Nitrogen, Ammonia and Protein.

A reader sends us tags taken from
cottonseed meal, which he says was
sold him as IS per cent. meal" and
asks if cottonseed meal with such a
tag on it is 1.-The best meal?" The
tag contains in plain terms, guar
anteed analysis: nitrogen 6.1S per
cent"
When meal is described as 8 per
cent. meal the meaning is that IT
contains s per cent. of ammonia. Inc
term ammonia" should no longer be
used. but since the mill men and
many others still continue the use OF
the term, the buyer must learn what
II means. If our reader had known
that to find out whether this meal
contained s per cent. Of ammonia ne
only had to multiply the guaranteed
per cent. of nitrogen by II and di-
vide the product by IA, he coulo
easiIy have found out that the meal
sold him was not IS per cent. meal,
hut only Z 1-2 per cent meal. That
is. meal guaranteed to contain SIS
per cent of nitrogen only contains
as much nitrogen as there is in meal
containing 7 1-2 per cent ammonia
When meal containing SIS per cent.
of nitrogen, equivalent to 10 per
cent. of ammonia, equivalent to 1876
per cent. of protein, sells for s24 a
ton. meal containing 6.59 per cent.
of nitrogen, equivalent to per cent
of ammonia, equivalent to Ally per
cent of protein, is worth about $25.-
so a ton.
Meal guaranteed to contain 6.ls
per cent. of nitrogen, equivalent 10
E75 per cent. of ammonia is not the
best meal, for there is meal on the
market containing more nitrogen
which is the basis on which cotton
seed meal should be bought and solo,
To change nitrogen to an equlva-
lent of ammonia, multiply by II and
divide by IA.
To change ammonia to an equlVa-
lent of nitrogen multiply by IA ana
