ings in the community.
 Now if you owe this debt and we do not think you will dispute it-isn't it up to you to discharge it when called upon to do so?
 How many times has your community called upon you in vain when plans for it's better ment were being made?A road was to be built for which funds were not available. Did you contribute? A school house was to be repaired and the grounds beautified. How much did you help? Your church was old and out of date, and the membership wanted to rebuild. Did you chip in?
 In short, you are paying your debt to the world and to your community in the only logical way-assisting to"the extent of your ability to make it better community for your children and your children's children to live in?
 Now you will admit that you owe to your parents a debt you can never repay-to them. The only way you can possibly pay is to pass it on to another gen. eration. That is natures eter- nal plan.
 Just so you can pass on to the community of the future what the community of the past has done for you.

EARLY PRIMARY
FAVORED HERE
COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
WILL PROBABLY MEET IN
A FEW WEEKS.

Now that politics are in the air,
with various rumors afloat, the ques-
tion Of primary is being discussed,
and the general consensus of opinion
throughout the county is for an early
primary.
II was stated sometime ago that the
local executive committee would not
meet until after the state committee
had fixed a date for the state pri-
mary, and thM more than likely the
same date would be decided upon, but
1t has been discovered that under the
law the state primary cannot be held
before August and with this informa-
ton at hand, it seems to be generally
thought that the local election should
be called for as early date as pos
sibe.
1t was stated by one of the mem
bers of the county executive commit
tee Yesterday that the committee,
elected two years ago, had nS~s~pr-
ganized. and this member thinks a
meeting should be held at once, with
in the next week or ten days, when
the committee should be organized
and steps taken looking to the pri-
mary. In the past the local primary
has been held along in April or May
and II is likely that one of these
months will be decided upon for the
election this year

EARL OF DERBY TO BE
NEW SECRETARY OF WAR
The Latter Has Just Returned to
London From Flanders, and
Is Likely to Be Given the War
Post in England.

LONDON, Feb. S.-The Weekly
World says it hears that Field Marshal
Lord Kitchener is likely to take over
the command of the British forces in
Egypt, and that the Earl of Derby,
the director of recruiting, will be the
new secretary of state for war, with
a seat in the cabinet.
The World gives no authority for the
report, but says it is gossip in line
with recent intimations that Earl
Kitchener might withdraw from this
war ministry to assume more active
duties.
Lord Derby has just returned to
London from visit to the British
forces in Flanders.
Except for the continuation of the
intensive bombardment along the
Franco-BelgiaE FONT, there are few
reports of actiV3y from the mapor
fields of military operations. Whether
the notable play of the German,
French and British guns on hostile po-
sitions is preparatory to important in
fantry operations or is for minor pur-
poses is not apparent.
The current official statements, as
we'll as Independent reports, indicate
the continuation of a state of quietude
along the broad front where Russian
and Teutons have been facing each
other for months past.
Only in the Caucasus, apparently
are the Russian armies active. The
Petrograd war office reports contin-
used advances there against the Turks
both north and south of Erzerum, the
Russian forces having pressed further
westward along the Black sea coast
and along the northern shores of
Lake Van.
General Polivanoff, Russian minis
ter of war, is quoted today as declar-
ing that the Russian munitions crisis
is now thing of the past, and that
the system of handling recruits is
such that the units of the Russian
army can be kept up to their full
strength with full trained mens

DIRECTORS MET
BUT DIDN'T AGREE
ON A SECRETARY
SEVERAL NAMES ARE ELIMINAT-
ED AND ELECTION WILL BE
HELD AT MEETING PROBABLY
TO BE HELD NEXT WEEK.

The directors of the Brunswick
Board of Trade held a two-hour SEES
sion at the city hall yesterday after
noon for the purpose of taking up the
question of a new secretary for that
commercial body. AS has been an
nounced in The News the meeting was
not to elect a secretary, but rather to
discuss all of the applicants.
In all there were about ten names
considered, most of them applicants
and the others suggested by various
directors. After discussing the can
didates for some time, some of the
directors favored an election, and at
one time it appeared that the board
would 60 into an -election. However.
some of the other directors thought
that the better plan would be a post
ponement of several days in order
that some of the out-of-town appI-
cants could be Investigated.
The directors then went carefully
over all of the names, and it is under
stood that all with tfle exception of
about four or five of the applicants
have been eliminated. and the new
secretary will more than likely be
selected from among this number.
One or two of these are focal men,
while the others come from various
sections Of the state.
The directors, it appears, are en-
deavoring to secure the best available
man for the place, and it is believed
that from among the number discuss
ed they will be able to employ man
who is well qualified for the position
1t was not stated definitely yester-
day when the meeting will be held for
the purpose of finally electing the sec
retary, but it is understood that it
will more than likely be called for
next Monday evening.
