Washington will never be taken down
from the door until the war is over.

After that had been done it was pos

When the war broke out and Ger
many was thrown almost entirely on
her own resources for food, the junkers
had their hour of triumph. For the
first year Germany did very well in
the way of feeding her own people.
The junkers claimed that this was all
due to the high state of development to
which they had brought the agricul
ture of the country. Even now, when
the German people feel how imperative
1T is to obtain food from abroad, the
junkers are not discontented, because,
as the class which controls agricultural
production, they are able to supply
themselves reasonably well.

system. This is a most complicated one,
but since it's basis is property it is SO
manipulated as to give the landed
classes representation in the reichstag

industrial communities.
The reichstag itself is not much of a
parliamentary body. but it is all that
Germany has In this line. There is
nothing that corresponds to the Con-

Rent is Reduced

President Joseph Albert said there
had been considerable complaint as to
the present quarters. Fred Steusloff
said he had been asked to submit fig
ures and drawing for the new quarters
and regardless of how the members
voted, he expected to stand by the
club as he had in the past. H. A. John
son moved that the whole matter be
referred to the directors with power
to act, but it seemed that the directors
had called the meeting to give the
members that privilege. Rollin K. Page
wanted information as to what the new
quarters involved and whether the new
quarters would have to be re-furnished.
Benjamin Brick was in favor of laying
all the motions-of which there were
several-on the table and starting all
over again.
A. N. Moores thought the whole mat
ter should be referred to a special COM
mittee and John H. Albert favored
throwing the whole proposition of NOV
ing back on the directors President
Joseph H. Albert couldn' t see it that
way.
C. S. Hamilton finally helped in
solving the problem by calling for a
vote by ballot and the vote stood 30 in
favor of the new quarters and 40
against Right here Fred Steusloff saw
ed the day and withdrew his offer.
As the matter now stands, the Steus-
loft proposition is turned down, Catlin
& Linn and Eugene Eckerlin each
agree to come down $40 month on
rent and the directors of the club will
enter into a new lease or seek quar-
ters elsewhere.

COMMERCIALICLUB
TO STICK TO OLD HOME
Voted by One Majority to
Move But SteusIOf With
draws Offer

Mysterious forces were at work last
evening at the Commercial club to such
an extent that when President Joseph
H. Albert called for a yes OF no vote
on the proposition whether the club
should accept the Steusloff offer of
new quarters, there WASH t man who
favored the move that had the nerve
to speak right out loud in meeting and
| say eyes. -
But when the same motion was made
and a vote taken by written ballot so
registered themselves in favor of NOV
ing and 49 against. At this stage of the
proceedings Fred H. Steusloff an.
nounced that in the interest of har-
mony and for the good of the organi.
zation, Steusloft Bros would withdraw
their proposition for new quarters in
the building they will erect on Liberty
street opposite the Elks Temple. And
by so doing Mr.. Steusloff earned the
good will, of the members of the club
and received the thanks of President
Albert for solving a problem that for
a time endangered the working spirit
of the club
Orators Are Scarce
The meeting last evening was called
to give the members a chance to vote
on the proposition of Steusloff Bros.
to construct the second and third stor-
les of building on Liberty street for
the Commercial club according to plans
drawn by George NJ. Post. The rent
Figured out about the same that the
club is now paying, but in the new
bulltlng. there would be much addi-
tlonal room and more eonvenienees.
One of the advantages of the new quar-
ters as stated by Manager McDaniels
was that of an auditorium suitable for
a Commercial club.
Although 200 representative business
men of the city were present to en-
gage in a general discussion, the Gus
tomary orators were a triflc backward
about expressing q yes or no opinion
and half of the evening was spent in
trying to get motion before the
house In such a form that the voters
would know what they were voting
about There was also some uncertain

as TO payments of rent, and as to
whether the club should vote for new

l. IL Is absolutely the only Appliance
Of the kind on the market today, and in
II are embodied the principles that inven-
tors have sought after for years.
,. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out Of position.
3. Being an air cushion Of soft rubber
II clings closely to the body, yet never
blisters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads,
used In other trusses, 1t is not cumbersome
or ungalnly.
>. 1t is small, soft and pliable. and
positively cannot be detected through the
clothing
g. The soft, pliable bands holding the
Appliance do not give one the unpleasant
sensation of wearing harness.
T. There is nothing about il to get
foul, and when il becomes soiled 1t can
be washed without lnjuring it in the
least
8. There are no metal springs in the
Appliance to torture one by cutting and
bruising the flesh.
.. All Of the material of which the
Appliances are made is of the very best
that money can buy. making it a durable
and safe APPLIANCE to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is so thoroughly established
by an experience of over thirty years of
dealing with the public and my prices are
so reasonable, my terms so fair that there
should be no hesitancy in send
