Why You Are Expected to Join the
Butler Commercial Club.

Butles; like every other American
town that expects to get ahead and
increase in prosperity, can only hope
Ito attain its full growth and to live
up to its fullest opportunities by cx-
tending its commercial activities
through some organization that is
truly representative of its business
men.
The Commercial Club is the organ
ization in Butler that is constructed
along lines that enable it to fulfill
that mission-and that mission is Of
vital importance to every citizen of
the town--wage Garner, property
owner, employer. merchant and pro-
fcssional man alike.
II may be that former Butler COM
mcrcal organizations have not done
all that they might have done for
Butler.
But if they have not, no one is so
keenly aware of the fact that they
haven't as are the old wheel-horses
who have sweat blood and sacrificed
time and money in an effort to do
things.
If organizations of the past have
fallen short of what the good citizens
of Butler expect of them
The fault lies at the door of our
men and brethren who have stood
around and looked on, instead of
jumping in and helping.
You, my brother, must bear the
blame
Butler, to keep its place. on the
map. must have live, up to date
commercial organization It is net net
a luxury-it is necessity to the
towns well-being.
The things which former organza-
tions have not accomplished for But
Ter are chargeable to you. Mr.. Man.
Who Should d-Have- Been-In.
Give the Commercial Club the en-
thnsiasm. the cooperation, the ad-
vice, the energy, the dues and the
moral support that you onlookers are
holding back-and well, the associa-
tion won't exactly set the world afire,
but there will be things doing in
plenty.
The Commercial Club needs your
support; the city needs your thought
and effort in its behalf; but more than
that you need the additional impetus

MARRIED MEN ARE LIARS!-THEY KNOW HOW

East Orange, N. j., Jan. 15.-Mrs.
Anna lSchotield just chuckled and

Mrs. Schof1eld is the East Orange
motheT-in-law who just naturally
knew her daughters husband had
another wife slowed away some
where.
She suspected that of Capt, Sell
wyn Joyce of Boer war fame from
the first; and after he married daugh-
ter Dorothy, Mother Schofeld pooh
poohed his claim to bachelOEhood
and shifted out his other marriage
record in far OFF New Zealand.

annulled and wife Number One is

Marriage brands a man as plain
as hot iron on a cows hip. l saw
wife written on the slick Mr.. Joyce
the first time l ever set eyes on him.
He was too considerate around the
house to be a 39-year-old bachelor.
Like all average married men, he
was an artistic liar in a small way
about things wives like to be lied to |
about. AS to his further accomplish
ments in this respect, l say nothing,
but that he could praise coffee that |
everybody knew was vile in such a
way that tasted good.
Like his brother zbenedicts, he |
knew how to praise his wfe's taste, \
whether good or bad. If a married |
man says something about another |
woman he doesn't neglect to say
something a little nicer about his |

when to shut up.

them, I wouldn't be surprised if
you've been married before.

"NOt long after we got the goods
on him he came in with an empty
poison bottle and said he'd swallowed
poison and was going to die and
would we shake hands and tell him
goodbye.
I'VE said we'd be glad to if he
really had taken the poison. But
when they used the stomach pump

suspected. They didn't find anything
but free lunch.
