ONE HUNDRED
At LUNCHEON
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT BEGIN
MING IN JANUARY THERE WILL
BE Bl-MONTHLY LUNCHEONS.
WILSON TALKS ON development

The business mems luncheon, held
yesterday at the Fergus hotel, was at
tended by one hundred men of the
city and several out-of-town guests.
A very interesting talk, along COM
nonsense ways of developing and
boosting town or country was given
by Rufus Wilson, formerly secretary
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
and himself apparently practical man
in this line of endeavor. An import
ant announcement was made just prior
to the address by Mr.. Wilson, when
Chairman Frankie of the luncheon
committee, stated that it had been de-
cided to have similar luncheon on
every second and fourth Tuesday in
each month, beginning next January
and continuing through May.
Mr.. Wilson's Talk.
Mr.. Wilson made no attempt at ora
tory or flowery rhetoric, but in plain
manner drove home a number of truths
| in city development, which he had
learned by experience and observa.
tion. He talked along general lines
Mr.. Wilson said that five questions
arise at the outset for consideration
by a chamber of commerce, intent on
developing a community or country
They are: First, Is your town or com
munity good place in which to live
and to do business, with high stand
ard of business honesty? Second: Has
your town anything of special merit
to advertise. Third: What has your
town to offer that should be adver
| tised in competition with other towns
Fourth: What are it's particular clans
to equality Or superiority to rival cen
ters? and lastly: What exclusive ad
.yantages has your community that are
worth advertising in order to attract
those things desired in it's upbuilding
Team Work Required.
To carry out any program mapped
out, money is required and united team
work among the men of the city
To support chamber of commerce
he said, was a civic duty and mar
should make payments with the same
idea that he pays his insurance oil
other necessary expenses-that it is
for his own benefit, as we'll as for the
good of the entire town. Mr.. Wilson
gave number of examples of what
other cities are doing and how all pu
their shoulders to the wheel in Ia
coma, Los Angeles, Portland and Ger
tain smaller towns. These towns alst
act as the big brother of the smaller
ones in their locality. thus bindint
town and country together. Many o
the suggestions that Mr. Wilson hat
to offer, he found were already adopt
ed in Lewistown, and he complimentet
the progressiyeness of the club.

Orange Jeliy.-A recipe for orange
jelly comes from the domestic science
department of the University of Cali
fornia, that land of oranges. It should
be of interest to many women. Try 1t:
1. To one dozen small oranges. take
two lemons. For large oranges take
three lemons. If the oranges are sour.
no lemons will be necessary. Oranges
are not so apt to be bitter after the
middle part. of the season as those
taken at the first part of the season.
Slice the oranges and lemons without
peeling.
2. Place the sliced fruit in a stew
pan and add barely enough water to
cover.
8. Bring to boiling and boil very
slowly for 40 to 50 minutes.
4. Press the heated juice through a
heavy cloth to get rid of most of the
particles.
s. Heat the juice to boiling and as
soon as it reaches boiling, take it off
! the fire and let 1t stand in quiet
place over night.
6. Decant off the clear liquid and
filter and strain the sediment left in
the vessel through a heavy flannel.
Z. Place the filtered liquid and the
decanted liquid together and to each
pint Of liquid add one and one-fourth
to one and one.half pints of sugar.
Most juice will make jelly with the
smaller amount of sugar, while some
