The meeting OF the Commercial club
held last Friday evening was we'll at.
tended, there being some two hundred
members present. The fact that the
club had as its guests a number of
business men who were here in con-
nection with the demonstration at the
Denison bottling works made the &C.
casion, a pleasant one.
Considerable business came up be-
fore the club at this meeting and prob
ably the most important was the fu.
ture of the Denison band. For some
time there has been considerable dis
satisfaction manifested with the pres
ent band leader among the business
men and of late it has been taken up
by members of the band until it came
to a point that unless a new leader
was secured the organization would
break up. The Commercial club has
been backing the new band and it
was through them that Mr.. Gibler, the
present leader, was secured. His sal

cial club and in addition to this the
club advanced the funds for the new
uniforms and several band instru-
nents. After a discussion Of the af-
fairs OF the band motion was made
that the club cancel the contract with
the present leader, which passed with
out a dissenting vote. Mr.. w. f..
Kahler spoke for the members of the
band and stated that they appreciated
what the Commercial club had done
towards helping to organize the band
and that with a new leader the organ-
ization would grow and be better than
ever. He stated that there was no
chance of the band breaking up and
that already they had prospects of fill
ing the vacancies in the organization
caused by some of the members join
ing the national guard.
Il. K. Mote, secretary Of the club.
made the report of the band carnival
held at the gymnasium recently and

>eral weeks ago.

The president of the club stated that
Mr.. Winans, of Deloit. had spoken to
him of bringing the reunion OF his or
,,aniZation to fDenison this summer.

comprising twenty counties, and

hundred people would be in attend
ancc. The encampment would last
ten days. The club authorized the
secretary to extend an invitation to
the Latter Day Saints to hold their
reunion in Denison and offered them
the free use of the city park together
with free lights and water 1t is
hoped that they will accept the invi'
tation extended them.
The matter of establishing an EN-.
ployment bureau came up for discus
sion and the secretary was authorized
to establish such bureau. The pur.
pose of this bureau will be to supply
farmers with help whenever it is de-
sired. Those who desire to secure
work on farms should hand in their
names to Mr.. r. E. Mote at the Craw.
ford County State bank and farmers
who are in need of help can apply to
him there. A bureau of this kind will
prove OF great benefit to both farm
hands and farmers and will be appre-
ciated by ALL

the sale pavilion and tie barn and stat.
cd that although some $500 in stock
had been subscribed there was feel

IS too big a project to undertake at
this time. 1t is now proposed to build
a Y. NJ. G. A. building on the site OF
the Laub livery barn. which could be
used by both boys and girls. The
building would be 100x112 feet and
considerable space could be devoted
to a gymnasium. Mr.. Naeye impress
ed on all present there was need
of such a building in Denison and that
it would be move in the right d.
rection.
. Supt. c. Il. Humphrey told OF the adj
vantages to be obtained with such an
institution and stated that it was not
only for the benefit of the boys and
girls, but the grownups as well could
derive much benefit from it. He spoke
of having visited the Y. M. c. A. at
Council Bluffs recently and there saw
a class of business men, many ofNthem
gray haired, at work in the gymnasium
playing volley ball Professor Hum
phrey said that every business man in
