Club Held Tuesday Night.
GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED

Hooking, Vice President and
r. NJ. Young Treasurer.


The annual meeting of the Com
mercial club was held Tuesday even
ing in the club rooms and despite
the extremely cold weather, the at
tendance was very good, and repre-
sented the various business interests
of the city.
The report of the secretary on the
work of the club during 1915 and
the election of officers for the ensu
ing year, occupied the greater part
OF the evening.
The secretary's report was we'll re-
ceived by all the members and was
approved. The report, briefly con-
densed, shows that the club, while
losing some members, this was coun-
ter balanced by the new members
taken in during the year, so that at
the end of the year the club was in
very good financial circumstances.
The assets and liabilities showed a
balance in favor of the club of $1O2.73.
The report showed that there were
BOT memberships on the roll and that
the club is in position to do good
work the ensuing year and its MEM
bership can be considerably augment
ed by bringing in those men in the
city who are not members now. The
secretary recommended an immediate
whirlwind campaign for memberships,
which will, no doubt, be Immediately
taken up by the new board of direct
ors and the membership of the club
greatly increased at once. The work
to be done the coming year was out
lined by the secretary, and among
the important matters toward which
the club will devote its attention are.
the securing of a sugar beet factory
at Glasgow, creamery, a foundry, q
produce exchange, cold storage plant
and many other industries Of this ma
jure.
Over $500 people had called at the
club rooms the past year, according
to the report and 5,000 pieces of mail
had been sent out, not including the
notices to local members of meetings
or other communications within the
county. Advertising literature was
sent to the immigration and railroad
offices in eastern cities and articles
have appeared in many of the eastern
daily, weekly and monthly magazines
covering the resources and develop
ment of Glasgow and Valley county.
After hearing the report, the elec-
tion of officers was held and j. w
Wedum was elected president, T. J.
Hooking, vice president, and R. NJ.
Young, treasurer. All the officers
were unanimously elected by acclama-
ton. The board of Directors will be
appointed by the new President.
Following the election of officers,
the retiring president, J. L. Truscott.
was rendered vote of thanks and ap-
probation for the time and labor that
he had given to the work of the club
during the past two years that he has
been president and the members all
recognized the fact that much of the
success of the club work was largely
due to his untiring efforts and his
activity and they likewise realized
that he has sacrificed a great deal of
his own personal time and greatly
inconvenienced himself in order to
carry on the labor of the club.
The members of the board of direc-
tors were also given a hearty vote of
thanks for their work in behalf of the
club and their willingness to devote
a certain portion of their time to the
duties which their office required of
them, shows that not only the Presi-
dent, but every official of the Com
mercial club has always stood ready
to spend not only time but money, if
necessary to promote the welfare and
assist in developing the city of Glas-
gov.
A vote of thanks was also extended
to Secretary S. c. Moore for his ad-
mirable work in that position during
the past year. A large portion of the
success Of the club is due to his un-
firing efforts, and the members all
seemed to feel that he is the right
man in the right place.
