members; now you lads line vi

me and Captain that; now lads, meho
tel bill is due, all NV you, hustle, and
make me dollar or two; the thran.
scenlnt beauty of this campaign is
that the harder you work, the more
money | make; now drill, we tar
rlerS drill. And did they hustle
Larry? Sure Mike; one of the
team captains in the mad attack,
that made Pershings boys foot race
alter Hlndinbug, look like the dead
march in Saul, lost his sword and
got his epylets so far down on his
shoulder that when he reported to
Mac that night, Mac thought he was
only a top sargent: another captain
lost his belt and run out of SubScrip-
ton blanks and | hear had to write 3
applications on the tail of his I'M
dershlrt; were they SO ardent Larry?
and for what? Why to keep from
getting the leather medal for the
least number of new members. This
Mac lad was a very ingenious boy;
we see he had a contract with some
officials of the Board of Trade by
which he gets a per sent on all dues
and members for the next three
years and by hivinS, the members
ofthe Board got them their ourselves,
and by ST Patrick the Board has to
pay him $4,000. -Four thousand two
hundred dollars to let 60 his con-
tract; $160000 more than was col
lected, and had to be borrowed from
the bank; for about two months of
HIS time and THEIR work;
Superfine, ell lad?
Larry me boy, I'm a credulus
kuSS, but do you mean to tell me
that the Board of Thrade made a
contract like that? says Mike.
Says Larry, well Mike, just ak
them.
Now of course when the lads in
control of the Board of Trade won
such victory be forcing Mac to &C
cept 81 10000 in surrinder of his
contarct, they imnejeetly thought
much better of themselves, and like
Alexander they turned to other
worlds to conquer" as the historian
says, and directed they powerful
brain energy to commission govern
ment.
But Larry dear, isn't this group of
heavy weight feenanciers and bust
ness men, the same lads who not so
long ago told the Council lads that
1t was necessary for to have their
advice and assistance to make the
bond issue and paving projeck 90
throu? Yes; the self same lads, me
boy.
What did council think of that?
Well, | hear they wasn't as proud
to have such able advisers as the
Board lads thought they would be
ye know the Council lads are not all
quite ready for Millidgevil yet, Mike
And what did they do? On | hear
they felt rather sore, and that it was
rather a reflection, but in the inter-
est OF harmony, they agreed to the
appointment of committee; three
very estimable gintlemin consented
to serve. but they we're not the ones
the Board lads figured would get the
jobs, The stepmother symptoms had
begun to break out then Mike; thry-
to boss things etc, though the coun-
Gil lads didn't suspect things would
come to the pass they have, where
the Board lads are trying to turn
the Council lads out of house and
home, and take entire possession.
Then Larry, you haven't the ex-
allied opinion of the Board of Thrade
management they lavish upop
themselves? You have asked rne a
troublesome question. Upon the
Board of Thrade as whole. yes
Mike: they have done some good
work; valuable work for the city.
the Board embraces some of our
best business brains, and properly
handled. it is factor of unlimited
value, but upon the management of
the Board, in faith NO. When |
notice their antics, their wasting

charming young ladies though they
be; paying Albert Smith $3,60O.OO
year salary and his expenses trot-
ting around the country as secre-
tary and the result of their 1919
work, so far as we can see a mere
accumulation Of literature on a COM

Workers, and dreaming about how
