IT lacks ono day of being three weeks the proposition bring

To put the bunty the Famon business who will be the
first beneaes and the only who upon bene

they declare their future business dpendarg population

But for thing would be tempted compare the of the
local business with the condition of who prefers die by
slow starvation rather than exert himself enough reach for noung
food plain sight which might be obtained by merely putting
hand But prefer believe that the popular indifference toward
this vitality important proposition is due the fact ha, they not

driven home to their business consciousness.
When they understand fully feel they will agree with The
West Vgian that Famon afford let this American Valve
and Tank fail endorsed by competent
business and to let fall to the ground would give black eye
the movement to make Famon larger prosperous and
auenha community which starting with such brilliant prospects, and
would play into the hands of the doubers and the pubac who
are never so happy when they rejoicing individual failure
knocking the town in which they live
Butt the to be crowned with it must be given the
support of the business men-a Of them who expect bu
ness here and with the growth of the community The way
of the who familiar with the details of the Valve and Tank
deal but not much the dark regarding the mental

But they have turning point If they to increase their

BIN A. BEGINS BIG
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Much Enthusiasm Behind
Campaign Begun This
Morning.

With double barreled brand of en-.
tlusiasm and real punch to back it
up, the Business Mems Association
started this morning on its three days
campaign that is to get hundred new
members. At loon the six teams that
are canvassing the elieibles, met at
the Roush House for lunch and be.
tween bites reviewed the results of
the morning and mapped out an at.
tack for this afternoon
The big thing that is expected to
bring in the new members is that a
membership in the association is not
thing that a man has TO be talked
into. Its benefits are Sc obvious and
necessary that It is on!Y necessary to
present 1t to the laggards every once
IL, while to have tho entire city's
professional and business men lined
up in it.
With the addition ot the new mem.
Eers, the Credit Rating Bureau of the
association will be augmented and
made even more valuable than 1t is
at present.

by Sherman L. W. Whipple, counsel
for the committee, to detail the work
ings of the stock exchange and TO aid
in determining the possibility under
It's rules of engineering deals for large
profits.
In brief opening statement of the
purpose of the leak" inquiry Mr..
Whipple made 1t plain that -eXtraneous
matters, such as a general investigation
of the stock exchange, will have no
place in the inquiry at present. The
investigation, according to the plans
Mr.. Whipple outlined, will seek to de-
tcrmine first of all three things:
What were the activities on the ex
change during the week Of December
Is, when the leak ON President VIII
sons peace note is. said to have &C.
cured and the possibility for causing
losses who are the brokers re-
sponsible for the transactions during
this period?' "Wlio made 'profits?'
The second inquiry, Whipple said,
should extend both to profits and loss
es. After that" he said, the COM
mittee may feel that 1t is i'll posi-
tiou where it may intelligently inquire
about those who profited and 1t seems
likely that those &ho. profited may be
those who obtained advance informa-
tion."
