vass for new members during the
present month. He said his heart
vas set on Increasing the member
ship TO double It's present size and
that he knew II II was not done
within the next three weeks the
business men Of the town wonld not
have time to devote to Il. because
there was but little doubt IN his
mind but that beginning with Oeto-
Der busy times would be nad in
Waxahachic. He Was so earnest In his
prophecy OF good times that the
members present gave him hand
that echoed through the hotel build
ing. Following the presidents talk
a motion prevailed that general
meeting OF the membership be called
for Thursday night TO perfect the
plans for canvass of the town for
new members. IL is therefore ursed
that each and every nse.lbeg of the
association bo on hand at Chamber cI
Commerce rooms on that date TO
participate in the forming a. plans
that will bring the Cha.abcs of com
merce To the attention o. ayccy busi-
ness and professional man in Waxa-
hachie. These members are not viii
ling to believe that majority of
the business and professional men
|are moss-backs' and confidently ex-
pect those who are not now members
OF the Chamber of Commerce to join
with them in the common purpose of
boosting for Waxahaehie when the
natter has once been presented 10
them. As IL now stands about one
I. .rd of the business men of the town
are carrying the load OF the Chamber
OF Commerce work while others reap
equal benefits from their labors and
money expended. What they want
now is 10 get each and every BUSH
aess man In the town interested in
the Chamber of Commerce work.
A communication was read from
President Navin of the Detroit Tig-
ers baseball club, which ackDowl-
edged receipt of letter with refer
enee to that ball club training here
next spring, and said it was under
stood that the club would come
here, but yet there were matters 10
be considered. 1t said that two
towns had offered cash bonuses,
but that these were not as advan-
tageousiy located as Waxahachie,
however. President Navin gave
Waxahachie chance to make cash
donation If she so desired. The
club discussed the proposition lit
| tie but did not take definite action
either way. The idea prevailed
that in furnishing the grounds and
mineral water bathing privileges
the town was doing full share to-
| wards the team. The letter an
nounced that Manager Hughie Jen-
nIngs OF the Tigers would visit
here at an early date and go over
the proposition with the Chamber
OF Commerce in an effort to decide
on what the club will do with re-
gard to the proposition.
With the work Of the club com
pIeted visitors present were intro
duced and invited TO say few
words. Those responding were
Thos. Fletcher OF State University
who discussed the relations be-
tween business men and educators,
saying it was the source OF much
qualification to him to note that
business men were linking their in
terests more With the educational
interests OF the town or commun-
| fty He said, too, there had been
marked change in the teachers
that instead OF the eccentric indi-
yidual of yesterday men We're be-
ing employed now who combined
business with education in teaching
the young people OF the town or
community.
