COMBINE TWO COMMITTEES
Alma Chautauqua and Lyceum Com
mittees Now One

At called meeting of those I'M
terested, held in the directors room
OF the First State Bank on Tuesday
evening last an organization was eff
ected' whose object is TO unite and
make permanent the interests of the
summer and winter courses hitherto
carried on separately in this city.
Charles f. Brown took the chair and
X. IL. Wilcox was appointed secrc-
tary of the meeting. After some dis
cussion of the questions involved, il
was decided to form an active organ
ization under the name of the alma
i.yceum and Chautauqua Association"
The following men were elected as
officers of the association for the en-
suing year: President, Hira c.
Moore; vice president, Rev. ]. Frank
Jackson; secretary, John T. Ewing;
treasurer, John s. Knoertzer. The
matter of the drafting OF suitable
form of constitution and bylaws was
put in the hands Of a committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Ewing, Jackson
and Moore. The selection of three
men to form, together with the Off
GERS, Board of Directors was refer
red to the officers, who at subse-
ouent meeting designated ID. l.. john
son, f. c. Crandell and A. F. Schultz
to serve in this capacity. The ques-
ton of incorporation was referred to
the committee on constitution and by
laws. The meeting was then adjourn
ed to Wednesday, August 10th, at the
same place, when the organization will
be perfected by the adoption of
constitution apd bylaws, the appoint
ment of permanent committees and
the decision of any other matters that
may be brought up.
The Importance of this timely move
ment can hardly be questioned by any
one who gives it little thought.
What community does with its lei
sure hours is a good index of its
moral and intellectual quality and it
is the part of wisdom to pre-empt the
field with the best obtainable in the
way of good and wholesome enter
tainment. A strong and well sup
ported organization will be able to
maintain the year>round steady in
huence in behalf of the best in COM
munity life and in this way help to
stem the tide of low-class shows" by
which a perfectly natural desire for
entertainment on the part of the pub
lie will otherwise have to be met

has instilled into the brains and hearts
OF men the betting instinct" So when
the mail order houses came into exist
ence they at once opened up an avenue
for the development Of humanitys
wen known weakness-a desire for
gambling
AS the catalogue houses passed from
the elementary and experimental stages
70 that of a permanent and pronounced
reality the gambling instinct of the
consumer kept pace with the humbug's
progress.
The consumers read the bewitching
circulars describing The many wonder
ful bargains; they fumbled the pages
OF the huge catalogue in bewildering
amazement. The angel Of doubt hover
ing near whispered warnings to the
fascinated buyer bit the god Of chance
was beckoning from the distance. and

DOUGHTY COMMENTS.
ON REORGANIZATION
Praises E. d. Levy's Efforts
ais General Manager of
the Frisco

A reorganization of the Frisco lines
with w. B. Nixon as president and W.
B. Biddle as first vice president was
announced yesterday. The Frisco lines
went into bankruptcy in the spring Of
1913. At that time Mr.. Nixon took
charge of the affairs of the railroad
as receiver. 1t was through his man.
agement that the Frisco lines were
able to be reorganized and placed on
a stable basis.
e. D. Levy has been appointed gen.
eral manager and second vice presi-
dent N. M. Rice and c. w. Hilliard
have been appointed third and fourth
vice presidents, respectively.
]. II. Doughty. local general agent
of the Frisco lines, in commenting on
the reorganization, said: Everyone OF
the men who handled the affairs of
the Frisco during its receivership de-
serves a great deal of credit. Mr.. Levy,
who was general manager during this
time and who has been appointed gem
eral manager under the new organiza-
ton, is one of the brainiest railroad
executives in the United States. His
keen insight regarding railroad affairs
from all angles is really remarkable.
The Frisco has spent vast amount
of money recently on their lines and
at the present time 1t Is considered
one of the finest pieces of railroad
property in the United States. Ninety.
pound rail has been replaced on all
parts of the road which formerly had
the lighter rails. The roadbed is in
excellent shape and all the physical
property of the Frisco is in the finest
shape possible. The maintenance OF
this property will be kept up to the
high standard"
