Use Time to ADVANTAGE

Time, which never stands still itself,
Will not allow any one Of US to stand
still. 1t delivers into cur hands sixty
minutes every hour and compels Us to
dispose Of them in some way. Whether
we Will or not, a constant accounting
has to be rendered. one who falls into
the habit Of dissipating time disslpates
not only opportunity but happiness for
the spendthrift of time becomes a
spendthrift of the other things which

The Musk Fat,

The musk rat, as its name would in
dictate, Is species of rat. It is found
nowhere but in America. Its body Is
shaped like that of the ordinary rat,
but instead of the short, close hair
of the land species, it is covered by
thick reddish-brown fur, and because
it lives much in the water it has
webbed toes. Although very awkward
on land, it is lively and playful in
water, and is a great swimmer and
diver. ~

Committees Are Selected.


President Bane has spent consider
able time in the selecting of the most
important committees and he said he
hoped these committees would wori
hard and zealously in getting results,
and he felt he had chosen the right
men and only asked them to give a lit
tie OF their time in cooperating and
working together, as this would be the
banner year, and that no time was il
more vital for all the people of this
community to work in harmony and
pull together, which is certain to re
suit in great good for this city.
He spoke of the membership com
mittee, and he asked that special eff
fort he made to have every repre-
entative man and woman in this city
enrolled as members of the Chamber
of Commerce He said he believed
it to be their duty TO boost instead Of
tnock, and he had no doubt but that
2a0 members could be added to the
roll within the coming year.
President Bane selected four com
mittees last evening which were ap-
proved by the directors. The eXecu-
tive committee was chosen at the las
meeting, and the complete list is as
follows:
