It is not believed that it will be
necessary to assess any dues against
the members. The Commercial club
plans an arrangement by which the
Junior chamber may defray its ex-
penses through premiums upon new
members procured for the parent
club, and commissions on collecting
delinquent dues. This plan is follow
ed successfully in other large cities
where Junior chambers have been
formed.
The only obligation upon Joining
will be the obligation OF the youth
Of ancient Athens. to which all mem

this, our city, by any act of dishon-
esty or cowardice, nor ever desert our

city's laws, and do our best to incite
