TEAMS OF CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE READY
"Why Should Anyone Belong to the

and Answered.

members during the past two years,
and it is expected they will cheer
fully resubscribe as the Chamber has
done splendid work during that time
under the direction of E. P. Wharton

boards of directors made up of the
most progressive business men This
year the Chamber under the direction
Of President Chas. w. Gold, and All
equally efficient board of directors, ex-
poets to accomplish even more, and
appeals to the citizens for support,
with confidence that it will be cheer
fully given.
The question, 'Why should any one
belong to the Chamber of Commerce"
was asked of one citizen yesterday
His reply was, because a real worth
while Chamber stands for every phase
of community building on platform
so broad that every citizen can stand
on it, and city without an organi-
zation to look after the many public
affairs, that do not naturally fall to
the lot of city officials, and which in
dIyiduals have not the time or ability

city in fact, but only in name. Such
Organizations cost money, and every
citizen who has any pride or ambition
Tor his home city should cheerfully
contribute his share, and then if the
Chamber is not conducted to his lik-
ing, agdtate for a change of policy
until he converts the majority to his
way of thinking Majority rule is the
fairs, and every one owes both time,
thought and money, other than the
amounts paid in taxes to the city which
he calls home.
cause our best citizens think it worth
while to the extent of contributing not
only money, but much valuable time.
is distinctly worth while for any cit
izen to be associated with such men
in any undertaking.
Every citizen should be member
from a dollars and cents standpoint.
An aggressive Chamber attracts peo
pie to city, which results in every
citizen finding a wider market for
what he has to sell, be it labor or
capital, real estate or roses, groceries
or automobiles, or personal service,
such as docaors, lawyers, dentists,
musicians Or what not.
""The citizen who does not belong, is
not a good citizen, notwithstanding
may be kind to his family, and
liends, pay his bills promptly, and
help to support his church, and club,
ecause he is sinking his share of =

Incendiarism Suspected But No
 Clew Discovered

Piggott, Jan. 16.-Three child. ren were burned to death near Piggott last night. Incendiarism is suspected but no definite evil dence was brought before the cor oner's jury.

At II o'clock the oldest, a ffteen-year- old girl, was awakened to find her bed in flames and escaped with one of the younger children. She at tempted to wake another child who was sleeping in another bed but was unsuccessful. Two boys sleeping in another room with the doors locked perished also. Blood hounds were taken to the scene but could find no trail.

 The three members of the board would have to be more than 25 years old and only one could be elected from any one congression- al district.
 All contracts for supplies for the state institutions, educational charitable and penal, would be let by the board and all bills for pro- visions or labor would be allowed or refused by the board.
 The bill provides that the board shall report to the general assemb- ly before each session of the legis- lature an estimate of the available revenue of the State, including all sums received or to be received during the next two years from all sources and an estimate of the amount necessary to operate all state institutions and the State government; to erect any neces- sary buildings and make any nec- essary repairs for the next two years and file a duplicate with the auditor of the state.
 Should Representative Dowdy's bill become a law 1t will be the most far-reaching measure ever enacted by the general assembly, in so far as state government is concerned, according to members of the legislature. When the bill comes up for final reading and passage, there no doubt will be an interesting and vital debate on the floor of the House. The bill has been referred to the committee on ways and means for consideration.

 Mr. Thomas had been working late at the bank for several nights, and Wednesday night Mrs. Thomas became uneasy about his unusual lateness when he had failed to return at II o'clock, and she telephoned the bank. She got no answer and some time later Mrs. Thomas telephoned the residence of H. M. Kennerly, assistant cashier of the bank, and asked him see why MT. Thomas had not come home.
 Mr. Kennerly and c. H. Van Beek, a Df0tnef-ln-laW or MT. Thomas, went to the bank to in- vestigate.. They found Thomas dead body in the bank vault. A pistol lying near, powder burns on Thomas face and right hand were the mute witnesses that told the story. Thomas had shot himself in the mouth, the ball passing near the base of the brain and producing instant death.
