DIR. STANLEY KREBS
LECTURES TONIGHT
Comes Here Under Auspices
Of the Business Mems
Association.

Manners That Win in Business" is
the subject of lecture which will be
delivered this evening at O'Clock in
the Grand Opera House under the aus
pieces of the Business Mems Associa-
ton of Fairmont. The speaker will
be DR.. Stanley L. Krebs. OF Philadel-
phia. an able man who has a national
reputation as a lecturer on business
subjects. This is the first of a series
OF educational discussions of business
subjects which will be conducted by
Mr.. krebs.
Besides that actively engaged in in
dustrial and mercantile pursuits,
large number of students from the
state normal school and Union Bust
Woodley. president of the normal
school. has heard DR.. Krebs and it is
upon his recommendation that the
students are buying tickets in such
large numbers.
Mr.. Trevy Nutter. secretary of the
Business Mems Association, which or
ganization has arranged these lee
lures. states that everything is in
readiness for the first lecture, and
that the sale of course tickets has
been large, and if the sales Of today
equal those of yesterday the five hun
dred course tickets provided will be
exhausted. Nearly all the business
houses and offices are providing tick
cts for their whole force of clerks,
stenographers. bookkeepers, solicitors
and other employees
II any are hesitating about going to
these lectures they should remember
that John Wanamaker thought so
much of him that he had him lecture
TO his big family of more than 5000
employees at stated hours each bust
ness day for three years; and believe
us, John Wanamaker knows he
wouldn't have had these lectures TAX
ing up his employees time II he hadn't
been mighty certain they were valua-
BILE.
Many have asked if these lectures
are for women. Most certainly. AS
many tickets have been sold to and
for women as to men. Course tickets
may still be secured at the offices of
the Business Mems Association and
at Martins book store. or of any mem
Der OF the lecture committee.

ton. is in the city in the interest of
that institution. This home is doing

are now employed in positions.
The institution is dependent for its

meeting of taxpayers held last satur-
day evening.
Il did not come here to accuse any
one OF being thief or OF stealing any
money from any person or OF doing
anything else that is dishonest" said
Mr.. Thorne. We simply came up
here at the request OF the taxpayers
of the district to learn at first hand
from the county court why the wide
road We hoped for and to which we
believe we are entitled is not being
built"
Mr. Glover. of the county court, ex-
planned that according to the provi-
sions of the bond issue they had $780,
900 provided by the sales Of the bonds
for building a specified number of
miles of road, and that in order TO
build the required number of miles
with the money available II was neces-
sary to use cheaper materials and to
build part OF the roads narrower than
was satisfactory to many persons.
Mr.. Glover declared that the bonds
had been sold at face value and the
money was being we'll taken care of
and expended honestly as was shown
by the audit conducted by state Off
Gals and by the accounts IN posses
sion of the sheriff
The delegation seemed to be salts
fed with the explanations made by
Mr.. Glover and the figures presented
by Engineer J. r. Wilson. In order
to solve the problem OF paving the
Buffalo Creek road with the limited
funds in manner satisfactory to the
taxpayers who live in that vicinity ar.
rangements were made for a confer
ence between Mr.. Thorne and a spe-
c1al road committee of the Manning
ton district. consisting of C. c. Martin.
Simon Moore and Lee Mitchaels. The
men interested were advised by Mr.
Glover to work out plan satisfactory
to the people In the district and then
to appear before the county court and
submit his plan. There will be an
other mass meeting Of the taxpayers
of the Warrington district next Sat.
urday evening TO pass upSh such
plan.
