those OF means can have" But why
limit it to "those OF means"

The Colorado Springs, Colo, Cham
Der of Commerce believed in keeping
the interest members up to the work
ing point, and to this end has adopted
some very definite plans to prevent
essening Of activity on, the part OF
individuals. The LIST Of Feb. every
mem Der Of the organization received a
little desk calendar for that month
On the margin OF the calendar were
printed dates and hours OF the various
meetings and luncheons for the entire
membership and for different groups
Each member was asked TO keen this
calendar before him during the month.
In addition TO this there has been or.
ganized an acquaintance Committee OF
fifty members whose duty is to keep in
personal touch with all members and
To stimulate closer interest in the
work and larger attendance at the
meetings and luncheous.
"The community interest in the new
basis Of American liberty" The in.
dividuafs relations to his rights in the
community are vital questions which
must be finally settled in the future,
but it is certain that the citizen who in
this day performs his duty to the com.
munity must eventually secure to him
self and family larger rights in it,
Woodrow Wilson
Except as the people are willing To
pay enough to secure competent men
IN important administrative jobs, the
competent man will continue to be
hired by private enterprise, and the
dear public will be served by incom.
petent money wasters.
You are waiting to do some great
thing: you are all waiting to pull down
some great evil. Perform the smrll
things that are unseen land they will
bring other and greater things for you
10 perform, You could bleed and die
for your country. Citizenship does not
demand any such act OF heroism. DO
the small things and the first one that
comes to you, and the second will
Immediately come.
John Bright
Energy and determination have dore
wonders many time.
Every great achievement In the
annals Of history has resulted from the
enthusiasm OF few.
