SALEM COMMERCIAL CLUB
By Ella McMunn.

Some of us farmers have forgotten
! that the Salem Commercial club once

! that were of no use to them whatever
/ that they made hitching posts for us,
I built us a public market, and on sew
eral occasions invited us to dinner and
waited upon us just as nicely as if we
didn t have cow nairs on our coats and
manure on our boots. Yet, we have
| forgotten all that because we are pret.
! ty mad just now to think that they
sent away for a manager for the club.
instead of coming out here to Lake
Labish and selecting a leading citizen,
| if they could not find one in Salem.
Of course il is quite probable that if
they had selected home product, he
would have had nis own axes to grind,
sell his own real estate or loganberry
juice or whatever else he might have
owned, through the influence of the
club, while a new man would at least
have no such temptations, and it is al
50 quite probable that a new man
would have brought some "new
thought" with him.
That IS it! New thought We got
along hundred years without any in
