men have signed the roll and they are
arranging for a mass meeting of men
between p and 40 to meet at the
rooms of the chamber Of commerce at
; o'clock next Tuesday evening to
perfect this organization. The young
men, regardless of occupation or 9TH
sr affiliations are going to take an
active part in boosting Guthrie
While many of them are among
the new members of the chamber of
commerce, yet they think that as a
separate organization they can work
better in many of the efforts for adj
Yancing the general and material in
terests Of the city They win in re-
ility be sort OF young mems auxl-
.iary TO the chamber Of commerce.
This is good, timely movement. II
shows that the younger men of the
city are ready to assume littlc more
responsibility in the affairs of the
city. While many of them might no.
care to meet regularly with the older
and deeply interested business men
Of Guthrie, yet they are ready to-
lend all possible assistance in the
furtherance OF all movements which
have the betterment of the city as
the primary object There should be.
a large attendance at the meeting en-
Tuesday evening. 1t is certainly al
movement to be encouraged by all
good citizens Of Guthrie.

Islands form the one vulnerable spot
in your vast invulnerable territory
Because of this vulnerability 1t is
easy for jingoist politicians or yell

as tool for the prosecution of their
Interior objects as pawns in their
game Of politics.
s;It is well for the American people
to kill once for all this green mon

Mason died at 1Haileyville recently
and it was decided to hold = Kadosn
funeral over the remains. The min
lister in charge, who was not j
Mason, was not informed a. to the
Masonic funeral nor was ne inform
ed as to the hour of the services he
was engaged to conduct. He Went
to the local undertaken to get this
information. The undertaken said:
r'The funeral will be held Friday
afternoon. You know we have 10
hold the Kadosh funeral first
The minister looked at the under
taker surprised and exclaimed:
"Why, when did he die"
On being told what Kadosh
funeral is the minister explained that
there were so many Italians in Hai-
leyyille with peculiar names that he
supposed some Haileyville citizen had
died and that he had not heard Of IT.
Secretary Sexson is showing
letter he has just rereived from f. b..
Henderson, dated December l3. 1911,
at Yenangyaung, Berna, India. The
letter shows that it has been opened

merely writing TO Mr. Sexson to let
him know where he was and stated
that any news from the United

Sunday MoOies
For Peachtree

ATLANTA, Ga, June 24.-Another
movement will apparently be made
this summer to get the motion pic
ture theatres open on Sundays. AS in
the past, the first development is the
opening of several of the theatres
where benefit performances will be
given. No admission will be charged,
but persons who see the show will
be expected to drop something into
the basket at the door.
Two summers ago the opening of
the Peachtree and Whitehall theatres
on Sundays was brought about in
much the same way, until for couple
of Sundays nearly every theatre in
Atlanta was operating for some bene-
fit or other. But the preachers in
tervened and the lid was put on
tight again.

WILL
DECORA7E:STORES
FOR CELEBRATION

While a great many merchants have
signed up to decorate their stores
and other places of business, still
there are a great number of them that
have not expressed a desire to decor
ate for this great occasion.
1t would be very poor advertising
for any merchant in this city, not to
have his house decorated, when all
his brother merchants have agreed
and signed contracts to do so, and
thus to help the enthusiasm of the
event. =.
A great many merchants do not un
derstand that work done by pro-
fessional decorator is far superior to
that done by amateurs and is very ar
tistic in appearance. 1t costs money
to travel around and carry several
thousand pounds of decorations, which
in nearly all cases have to be ship
ped by express.
The laborer is worthy of his hire
the decorator is doing work in Amer
icus at the very lowest prices that
this same grade of work has ever been
done on any similar occasion. Also
he has agreed (and the committee is
very thankful for his offer) that he
will decorate the streets of Americus
free of any cost

has been employed to do decorating
