Charles, T. Taylor, vice president
Of the Mankato Commercial club, who
presided over the meeting held last
evening at the city hall, was unani-
r1ouGlv elected president of that or
ganization. He fills the unexpired
part OF the term of A. j. Veigel, who
has gone to ST Paul to accept po-
siticn in the Commercial State bank.
| Mr.. VeigePs re ma t on was
presented and accepted. In his letter
Mr.. Vcigel stated that he never saw
any ether city where there were SO
many public spirited citizens in pro-
portion to the population, men who
were ready to do what they could for
their city Or their friends. Mr. Veigel
expressed his desire to extend any
help he could to the club, in case he
should have an opportunity.
The Alphabet Extension.
One of the most interesting sub
iects taken up at the meeting was
that of the proposed extension of the
Alphabet road to Mankato. j. E.
Reynolds, chairman of the committee
that has that matter in charge, re-
ported what that committee had been
doing. He told how the committee
had been meeting from time to
time and communicating with various
ofs Gals of the Milwaukee road in
regard to getting this extension At
length the committee discovered that
the right man to see in regard to this
matter as Vice President Bush
Mr. Reynolds went on 10 say that
the committee felt that the trip had
not been in vain. Mr.. Bush had
showed vast array of figures to
prove the financial conditions ex-
listing in this country. Mr. Currier
suggested that if the extension were
built and used, it might work up adj
ditional business for the company.
Mr. Bush did not think very favorably
about that.
Mr.. Reynolds suggested that the
people OF Mankato could probably
benefit the city by showing a greater
spirit Of lienency towards the rail-
roads, under existing conditions of
affairs. Mr.. Currier, who lad acted in
manner a2tagonistic to the rail-
roads along certain lines. had come
to the conclusion that the time hal
arrived when care should be taken to
give the railroads fair deal and not
do anything to hinder improvements
that are needed bv the people.
The. report of tho committee was
accepted and the committee was in
structed to continue its work.
Tractor Demonstration.
f. E. Mcclure preached the pro-
jeot of having a great tractor dem
onstration in Mankato. He said he
had attended such demonstrations at
Sioux Falls, s. d., Fremont, Neb..
Hutchinson, Kan, and elsewhere, and
they were a great event every time.
Thousands of people came togeJncr
to see the tractors plow up the
ground. In little while 40 acres
would be plowed and it would be
done we'll.
On motion bv j. E. Reynolds, it was
ordered that the matter of rev.vng

velopment league be made a speci

The right kind of printing
pays. It's a business proposition
and we are willing to prove it to
you. Mrs. Grundys' work is the
right kind; it is the artistic kind
that pleases, and-notice this
fact-it will not cost you any
more to have the right kind of
printing. Let us show you samp-
les of work of beauty and origina-
lily created by our printers. our
output challenges that of any
printing shop anywhere.
By the late Act of the Legisla-
ture all homemade sorghum

Preparing For Heavier Traffic.
N. q. q st. l.. Railway Making
improvements on its Nash
vile Division.

The policy of preparedness
with relation to the conduct of a
railroad is reflected in the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis
Railway. Recently five new
Mikado-type freight locomotives
have been put in service on the
Nashville division to take care
of the increasing traffic as a re-
suit of the opening of, the Pa
ducah & Illinois Railroad, with
which the N. @. q st. L. con
meets at Paducah and over which
road, by reason of its connection
with the Burlington, much bust
ness will be handled from the
Northwest over the new railroad
bridge at Metropolis, ILL.,, which
is now building.
In connection with this bust
ness it is planned to enlarge the
railroad yards at Hollow Rock
Junction, and to greatly increase
the facilities at this point, not
only in handling the freight
traffic but to eliminate as far as
possible any delays in handling
the passenger traffic.
The work of strengthening the
bridges on the Nashville division
has already begun between Nash
vile and Harding, and between
Bellevue and Nawsom. Two
bridges will be replaced with
ballasted deck Orders, and later
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1916-01-06

it is proposed to reduce the gra-
des on this division, the survey
for this work having already
been made.
In other words, the N. @. &
st. L. Railway is exerting it's
best efforts to facilitate the
handling of business not only in
it's own interest but with the
view of pleasing its patrons first.

Prominent Georgia Physician
Gives Master Medicine His
Unqualified Endorsement.

DR.. j. L. Edwards, of Fayette-
vile, Ga, one of the best known
members of the medical protest.
on in the State of Georgia,
makes a statement that will
undoubtedly produce profound
impression throughout the South.
''In my thirty years of active
practice as a licensed Physician
in the state Of Georgia, - says DR..
Edwards, 81 have never seen
anything to equal Tanlac as a
medicine to produce results, |
hear people on all sides telling
of the benefits they have derived
from its use.
"Tanlac is simply the talk of
my town. | have no hestancy
in recommending the medicine;
and as a matter Of fact, | am pre-
scribingit for my patients almost
every day.
"Only a few days ago we'll
known woman Of Fayetteville
came to me and told me about
the remarkable relief her daugh-
ter had gained from the use of
this medicine. She said her
daughter had been confined to
her bed for three years with
what had been pronounced
pellagra, and that after using
Tanlac for a short time
she was able to be about, and
was on the road to recovery.
"But this is only one instance.
People in all walks of life in and
around our little city are giving
similar Endorsements to the
medicine. Seldom a day passes
that someone does not come to
me and say something about the
good results they are getting
from the use of Tanlac.
Several unusual. gains in
weight have been reported by
some of our most prominent peo-
pie, and | have treated some
stubborn cases of Indigestion,
catarrhal conditions, and organic
disorders and secured splendid
results with Tanlac. "

PREPARING FOR
HOLIDAY TRADE
LOCAL MERCHANTS HAVE Or
DERED UNUSUALLY HEAVY
STOCKS FOR XMAS.

While it is a little early to talk
Christmas. it does not keep the News
from mentioning the fact that nearly
every merchant who handles holiday
goods has already started preparing
for the holiday trade and some of
them have started receiving their
goods.
Several have told the News that
they will have larger stocks this sea
son than ever before and the gradual
picking up" in business recently war
rants their heavy purchasing. Then
again the average merchant here en-
joys more out-of-town trade than has
been the case in the past and every
Saturday scores of shoppers from the
interior can be seen with many bun
dies returning to their trains.
There is no doubt whatever that
business with the local retailer is
better than ever. One furniture man
told a News representative that he
had great deal CT trouble in receiv-
ing his orders from the wholesalers
promptly, adding that he had more
trouble in getting the goods than he
had in selling them. 1t seems to be a
general steady increase in practically
every line. Local merchants also
say their collections are breaking the
record.

APPOINTMENT
CONFIRMED BY GOV. HARRIS

1t will be remembered that the
News predicted the appointment of
Col. St. Elmo Massengale as a men,
Der Of the w. and A. commission more
than week ago and his appointment
was confirmed by Governor yester-
day.
1t has been known all along that
the appointment would not go TO a
man from a coast county, as the gov
ernor thought there would be claims
of the defeated counties that it would
give one an advantage over the others
if the state road is ever extended to
the sea and for this reason, if no
other, he decided to appoint man
from the interior and who was abso-
lutely disinterested.
In the meantime Brunswick is sat
isfied that it will get square deal
from the commission. Mr.. Massen-
gale is we'll and favorably known here
and has always been known to do
the right thing

WOMEN CANNOT
HOLD THIS job
GOVERNOR HARRIS SAYS FE-
MALE CANNOT HOLD THE
OFFICE OF ORDINARY.

Women are not eligible to fill the
office Of county ordinary Governor
Harris Thursday issued a statement
in his bulletin to the newspaper men
to the effect that the error discovered
in the law passed last summer was at
ter all only an error in punctation and
did not make women eligible to hold
the office Cf ordinary
The governors statement follows:
'The newspapers have called atten-
ton to the wording of the act making
women eligible as clerks to ordinaries
The confusion arises over the fact
that the printer enormously inserted
4 comma between the word ordinary
and the word and, the provision be-
ng that women could be appointed to
the office of clerk of ordinary and
the court of ordinary, This is further
made clear by another part of the act
which only provides that the words
clerk of ordinary shall be inserted
in code section 2167. The errors there,
fore referred TO have been due en-
tirely to oversight on the part of the
printers of the published acts"
