GRIMSLEY RESIGNS
Secretary Of the Chamber Of Com.
merce VIII Accept Commission
In Indiana National Guards.

Mr.. H. c. Grimsley, secretary-man-
ager Of the Maysville Chamber OF
Commerce, rendered hi s resignation
to the Board of Directors Of the or
ganization yesterday afternoon at S
o'clock, which was accepted.
Several days ago, Mr.. Grimsley was
rendered a commission of first lieu
tenant in the Indiana National Guards.
He held a commission in the Port
land company during the recent trou-
BILE In Mexico, and was offered the
same position.
His resignation was as follows.
Maysville, KY, May 1S, 1917.
To the Board Of Directors Of Mays
vile Chamber of Commerce:
Gentlemen: You are quite familiar
with our national affairs at this time
and the urgent calls which have been
issued by our government for men for
all branches of the military service
In order to successfully prosecute the
war upon which we have entered.
On account of my qualifications
health, youth and previous military
training-I believe that the service
which l can render in the army at
this time will be greater than that
which l am able to assist the Cham
Der of Commerce, that someone who is
not qualified for the army can carry
on the work of the secretary-manager
Of this organization. believe that II
Is the maximum service to our coun-
try that we all desire to render at q
time of national need such as this, and
feel that should again apply for
admittance to my regiment.
Therefore, l ask that you give care.
full consideration to my request that
you waive that provision in my con-
tract with you which calls for a notice
Of sixty days on my part and that
be allowed to leave Immediately and
enter the military service
It is with no small amount of re-
gret that l seek to severe relations
which have been so pleasant to me
The assistance and cooperation OF
my employers, whose representatives
you are, has given me inspiration and
zest for my work, and the success
which has crowned the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce in each of Its
undertakings during my employment
is due to the broadminded, progress
sive spirit Of the members of this Or
ganization and the citizens of Mays
vile.
The Chamber of Commerce is in
good condition as will be shown when
you instruct the aduiting committee
to 60 over the books of the organiza-
tion which are always up to date.
Respectfully,
HARRY C. GRIMSLEY,
Secretary and Manager
LATER-Mr. Grimsley informed us
at press time that he would not leay,

have tested luscious cake icing with

even more accusing were the little
lines Of cracks running outward from

Awful figure for a cake, i know.
But try 1t; see how true 1t Is.
Whence we come to glass. How
