OF COMMERCE
A NEW ORGANIZATION
First Meeting Held a Little
More Than a Year Ago
Has Done Much.

The Liberal Chamber of Commerce
celebrated its first birthday on April
20 Of this year. Forty business men
met at Griffith & Baughman's office
year ago last April at the sugges-
ton Of A. L. Oliger, secretary of the
Kansas Retailers Association. Mr..
Oliger brought out the main isues
that should be handled by the bust
ness men of the city and country in
the development of the natural re-
sources Of the surrounding country.
The business men were quick to
see the needs of such an organiza-
ton and were Immediately on the
job. E. ]. Thayer was elected tenn
porary chairman. He made a short
talk prtaining to the work. Ten 9TH
er men familiar with this branch Of
city betterment work made voluntary
speeches. AS soon as the purpose
was made clear to everyone, motion
for founding a Chamber of Com
merce was made by H. W. Magruder.
This was carried and Mr.. Magruder
himself was unanimously nominated
and elected as president.
W. E. Wilson moved that a COM
mittee draft constitution and work
out the necessary details and report
at the next meeting. President Ma
gruder named the following: E. J.
Thayer, w. E. Wilson, Frank G.
Boles, A. F. German and Ralph Col
vim. He also appointed these men
to the committee on membership
Mr.. Printz, Mr.. Brown, D. C. Wood
J. W. Baughman, Clyde Atha, C. w
Edison and Chas. D. Taylor.
The board Of directors held theil
first meeting May 2, 1915 anc
authorized the president to order thu
necessary equipment to start the Of
flee.
The organization stands for any
thing that is for the betterment Of
Liberal. Two Of the most important
accomplishments are express and
mail deliveries. Its main work has
been the development Of spirit Of
cooperation. It has succeeded ad-
mirably in this respect as shown by
the successful raising of the Red
Cross fund, the vote for the railroad
bonds, and the work Of getting
and marking the Great Plains and
Kansas California Highways.
1t has much work for the future,
especially after the C. X. & o. rail-
road becomes reality. Among the
things needed worst at present and
which will probably get the first at
tention of the Club are: new audi
torium or public meeting place; d
system Of parks; a camping ground
for tourists; new school buildings
street paving; and more substantial
business buildings. The organiza-
ton is ever on the lookout for new
factories, wholesale houses and the
like.
Meetings are held the second Fri
doy in aaoh ,,,n,tL

When Nancy Dances

Nancy's mother has just finished
making her a dance frock which she
is to wear at the final party Of her
dancing class. 1t is filmy and crisp
enough to make a gauze-winged but
terfly enviOus-if butterflies could har-
Dor envy-and it is exactly suited to
the graceful and slender little maid
and her gently frolicsome dancing.
Long will Nancy remember the glory
of this frock and the painstaking work
and planning that make it such sue
cess.
The frock is made of swiss-organdie
founcing, very sheer, very white and
very wide. The edge Of the flouncing
is scalloped, and each scallop frames a
wreath Of dainty embroidery made of
small leaves and single blossom.
Above this edge there are small, widely
scattered dots and above them n mar
row border of little embroidered bios
SONS and leaves. The scalloped edge
appears only on the skirt, for the dis
eliminating taste of Nancy's mother
caches her that much decoration is out
of place in the dress Of little children.
The skirt is laid in shallow, even
plaits at the top and Joined to a plain
"baby" waist in which the en-
broidered border appears just above
the waistline. The sleeves are merely

ness women, on elevated trains or cars,
going to and from offices, often prefer
iace-making to reading, and proDably
have about as much definite knowledge
of current events as those who devote
themselves everyday to newspapers. At
all events they have something to show
for their time.

USE FOR MEDICAGO FALCATA
Plant Specialists Not Willing to Rec
ommend YelIow-Flowered Alfalfa
for General Planting.

After eight years of experimentation
with yellow-fowered alfalfa, known TO
botanists as Medicago falcata, plant
specialists Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture feel that the plant
cannot yet be recommended for gen.
eral cultivation. They believe, how
ever, that because of certain desirable
characteristics, some strains Of the
species will be valuable for use in plant
breeding, and that from hybrids result
ing from crossing this yellow-flowered
alfalfa with the common alfalfa, hardy
types more valuable than any now Gull
tivated should be developed. With this
end in view, the department specialists
will continue their experiments.
