MORE GINGER
IN CHAMBER
Of COMMERCE
NEW LIFE, OR BUSINESS WILL
SLIP AWAY FROM THIS CITY, is
STATEMENT OF SECRETARY,
MADE THIS MORNING.

Inject a little ginger into the
chamber of commerce" is the slogan
of the secretary who in a statement
this morning remarked that unless
the business men Of the city got busy
and assisted him in doing the work he
was trying to do, the chamber OF com
merce would blow up shortly.
His remarks were occasioned by a
statement from prominent oil man
of the city who remarked that since
his advent in the local field he had
been persistently solicited by Ringing
citizens to invest near that place,
while he had never been informed
that there was such a thing as a
chamber of commerce in existence
Mr.. West stated that for the past
two years he had been serving not
only as secretary of the chamber OF
commerce, but also secretary OF the
retailers association as well, beside
gathering county farm exhibits for dis
play at the state fair and other places,
and all that while had very little as
sistance from the members at large
He stated further that within the past
two years several committees mad
been appointed for various purposes,
but if any had ever reported, he could
not recall the fact. For that reason he
stated that unless the chamber OF
commerce took on new life, it might
as well go out of business as to exist.
The retailers association has prac-
ticaIly made arrangements to hire a
secretary of their town who will work
with the secretary of the chamber Of
commerce. If this is done, it will in a
manner relieve the secretary and give
him more time to devote to the work
of the club.
A campaign must be begun and
prosecuted for new members and the
old ones informed that merely belong
| ing to the club and paying dues was
not sufficient. They must put their
shoulder to the wheel, help carry the
load, attend meetings at stated inter
walls. and take an interest in the
growth of the city, or other towns will
grasp some of the business that right
! ly belongs here.
Mr. West stated that he was going
to have the president call meeting
of the chamber of commerce within
a few days and discuss this matter
thoroughly and see what future action
will be taken.

Military Portable Wireless.

Quick and effective communication between the tremendous forces of combatants with battle fronts of fifty to two hundred and fifty, miles is no longer possible by scouts, cour- iers and photographic devices. The long-range combat with terrible en- zines of destruction means radio or wireless communication, and everyone of the powers now at war is employ ing portable wireless telegraph plants carried on motor-truck chassis geared for speeds of twenty-five to thirty-five miles per hour. The truck motor drives an electrical dynamo which generates the primary current of the high-tension transformer necessary in radio transmission, and the complete paraphernalia of condensers, inter- rupters collapsible antennae, etc., are carried on the truck which is gen. erally fitted with a protecting shield for the driver and special convert ible body with sliding papeled sides which can be tightly closed in stormy weather. These motor-truck wireless outfits having an effective land range of two hundred to three hundred miles, have enabled the armies of the dual alliance" and the triple entente" to keep in communication with their base, wings and re-enforcements-a task impossible in modern warfare without the radio telegraph and most important-the motor truck on which to move swiftly the instru- ments and their relatively large space requiring auxiliaries from position to position.-Engineeri Magazine.

COWS DIE FROM STRANGE
 DISEASE.

Recently six milch cows have died in Forest Park from a strange dis ease. The animals, seem to be affect ed with congestion and they die in from eight to ten days after taking sick. On account of the general prev elance of the ailment the disease Is thought. to be contagious. Those who have lost cows are Messrs Hunt, Abeles, Goss, Webster, Marlow and Mathews.
 The state veterinarian, Dr. R. M Cow, has been notified and post mortem examination will be made of the carcas of the next animal that dies. AS soon as the nature of the disease is ascertained it is believed the epedemic can be checked.
 The systems of the affected cattle do not indicate that there is the fatal foot and mouth disease now prevail ing in some of the Northern states.
 The number of deaths can be check ed by owners keeping up their cows until the disease and it's cause can be investigated.

FAMOUS SOLDIER A SERvlAN
Alexander the Great Formed His In- vincible Army of Natives of
 That Country.

The student of ancient history, Feveling in the triumphs of Alexander the Great, never thinks of linking his mighty name with that of the little kingdom of Servia, the fires of whose internal troubles have set all the world ablaze. Yet it was from that small but explosive land that there once marched forth to the conquest of the world a little army of 10000 men; and, having completed that conquest on schedule time, so to speak, their leader sighed because there were no more worlds to conquer.
 Alexander the Great was a Servian- that is, he was a native of the country that is now Servia. His army was made up almost entirely of ancient Servians. His mothers family came from the region up around that turbu- lent but much-coveted district of Novi- Bazaar, and it was from the mountains lying between the Mediterranean and the middle Danube, and the valleys on their northern slopes, that he drew the flower of that 10000 who marched to the barbicans of China and the sources of the Indus.
 It is a stern, rock-bound country, this Servia, better fitted for growing soldiers than cereals. There has al- ways remained just enough of the bar barian about the mountaineers of the country to make them ideal warriors. Philip of Macedon brought them down to the Mediterranean coast and routed the polished Greeks with them-in- cluding the eloquent but timid Demos thenes-and then, instilling just enough of Greek culture beneath their Berserk bosoms to make them fully appreciate what the conquest of the world meant, prepared the way for his son, Alexander.
 That was the Servian of old. alike in many respects to his modern broth CT. The Servian of today few years ago took up the sword against the might and millions of the Moslem em- pire as jauntily as his forefathers formed their phalanx and marched across the Hellesaont to conquer the uAhaOWA duQ uulOiu llliI1OuS LII. cl sia and the Indies, and more recently he took up his rife against the Aus trian Goliath, moved his government back into the hills out of range of fire, and went whistling to battle, never asking whether the odds were twenty or fifty to one.
 The name Servia denotes that it's people were sprung from slaves. Their broader name, Slav, denotes the same origin. But, when applied to a people who for countless centuries have fought against tremendous odds for their liberty, the term takes on a new and honorable meaning, just as the term "whig" was first applied as nickname of derision, but later be- came mark of esteem and honor.

Department, but one of the main oO- jects we are keeping constantly in mind is that every child is an intelli- gent member of the church proper. On Communion Sunday, the church goes in body to the church proper for the closing, taking communion with their fathers and mothers.
 Occasionally, perhaps once a year, the Junior Church has entire charge of the adult church service, the Junior congregation occupying front seats, the Junior order of worship being used, the Junior pastor, usher, pianist and musicians being in charge. This gives the elders of the church an op- portunity to view the work of the young people, and also serve to tie the children closer to the church pro- per, so that when they have reached the age when the adult service will suit their tastes, they will naturally take their places in the adult church.
 Since the installation of the Junior Church at the Pulaski Heights Meth odist Church, the problem of church. attendance among the Sunday School members is solved. We believe that our youths are being trained and edu- cated for the responsibilities of the church, and that the Junior Church is worth the effort. The children take great interest in their work. A better day is at hand for the child, and therefore for the church and the world.

Look Ahead!

There are some persons who ride all through the journey of life with their backs to the horses head They are always looking into the past. They are forever talking about the good old times, and how different things were when they were young. There is no romance in the world now, and no heroism. The very winters and summers are nothing to what they used to be; in fact, life is altogether on small, commonplace scale Now, that is miserable sort of thing It brings a kind of paralyzing chill over life, and petrifies the natural spring of joy that should be forever leaping up to meet the fresh new raercies ths. the day keeps bringing.

HER SILVER SHOWER
HOW GIRL GAVE FRIEND A LES
 SON IN ECONOMY.
Stopping of the Little Financial Leaks Accomplished What Seemed to the Careless One to Border on
 the Marvellous.

Tt is the finest idea I ever heard of" said Lucinda Grey, as she looked compassionately at her pale little friend just out of the hospital. I'm tired to death of restaurant fare, and 1 haven't forgotten your cooking, Alice Benton! But are you sure you are strong enough to do it?"
 "For two of us-in this place?" The pale girl laughed derisively. "It will be like play, and the best possible occupation for me-"
 Very we'll, it is settled, if you are certain it's not too much for you. You'll find my purse in the bottom bu- reau drawer in little tin box; use what you need for supplies and things"
 All right, but I am going to bear my half of the expense, remember"
 And do the work besides? I call that an unequal arrangement" pro- tested Lucinda She knew what must be the condition of her friends purse after her long illness.
 My month in the hospital made quite hole in my savings" Alice ad- mitted, but I need not be a burden to my friends
 "You mean you have money saved from your salary?' asked Lucinda, in astonishment. "Will you kindly tell me how you have done it, O wise young person? I've never been able to save a cent, and it worries me more than I can tell. I'm sure I try hard enough to be economical"
 Perhaps we shall find some of the little leaks later," said her friend, with a smile.
 Two weeks had passed when, as Lucinda was dressing one morning, she called across to the little kitchen, "Now, Alice, you've mended this old corset cover. I told you it was not worth"
 Her voice died away into astonished silence. From the folded garment something fell with thud to the floor. 1t was a silver half-dollar wrapped in piece of paper on which were writ ten the two words, Five Minutes"
 Lucinda slipped the silver into an empty box in her bureau drawer, and put on the mended garment thought fully. As she was leaving for the office she paused to call back, Do you mind telling me what Five Min utes' means?"
 That was the time it took to mend it." said Alice quietly.
 A1opcf doilu aftar fbot coy, ofhinc was added to the contents of the box; silver half-dollars for each pair of neatly mended stockings that Alice had found discarded in rag bag in the bathroom, and varying amounts for the undergarments and waists and neckpieces that she freshened and re- stored to usefulness.
 s'Id like to know what she will do with pinned-out collar" said Lu- cinda, little vindictively, one day, as she put three of them into the rag bag. When the laundry was returned Lucinda found the three collars on her dressing table. A jaunty bow pinned on the front of each completely con. cealcd the devastation the heavy brooch had made.
 "You are certainly hard to circum- vent, Alice" she said, with a laugh. You needn't do any more, if you please. I've counted the money in my box, and I've learned my lesson. I'll never again see a partly worn gar ment without seeing also the money it would cost to replace it, thanks to your silver shower Youths Com panion.
