THE c. & C.. ASSOCIATION

THE c. & c. ASSOCIATION
Giving the old mare a few feeds of malt
mash, a little oiling up of hide and hoof and a
shingling, may bring on a new color,-add a
new name and perhaps the old girl will step q
few fancy PAGES to get in for an extra killing
in the race. But:-she can't stand up, the frater-
nifty will get next and the gig blows.
The Commercial club of Devils Lake, if in
its change of name to the Civic & Commercial
association, has not instilled in it, new life, new
vigor and a real intent to actually develop the
community, then it, like the old mare, will blow.
But:-we find:
! The new organization with fresh blood instil-
led, live wires on the directorate, and giving
every indication of having %relegated the history
of the business mems organization of the past
few years to the archives of memories that shall
ever stand a monument to the lack of co-opera-
ton and to the selfshness of individuals who
wouldn't, and didn't want to see Devils Lake a
bigger, better and greater city.
New things seem in store for the community
If the organization means anything. To begin
with will it yank politics out of it's affairs?
They have no place in a commercial boosters
activities. The omission of that from it's list of
oSt4V1L4cS anu oil uOucSl, COISClcuLlOuS ellOTL OH
the part of it's president and directors to wipe
partisan relationship in business life from it's
slate will tend greatly towards annealing the
disrupted public spirit in Ramsey county. The
public will Judge, and judge rightly, the true
purpose of the organization, as months go by.
The president, Archie Miller, has a real mans
job cut out for him. It will be he whom the
public will hold responsible for the success or
failure of the newly revived and heretofore
practically nonentious Commercial club. Mr..
Miller was director of the Devils Lake Auto
club-so called here a year ago and which fiz-
zled, it didn't get by with the public, and in
tackling the businessmen's major effort now,
he will have an opportunity to wipe off the
soils of the auto happenstance-but the public
will have to join hands.
What will the association records show, six
months or a year from now? Will the county
fair have grown greater thru the C. & C. A.?
Will there be as a result of it's efforts, any road
improvements on the approaches to the city
will there be a community building in process
of erection-so long demanded by the public
will there be play grounds for the Riddles; will
there be road signs pointing to Devils Lake; will
there be a feeling of hospitality so general that
farmers and citizens alike will feel welcome in
the club rooms; will building have received an
impetus; will there be any new business institu-
lions in Devils Lake? But why go on, there are
scores and scores of things for a Commercial
association to do.
Just what will the new body do?-a pertinent
question. Is Devils Lake at last to step out of the
shadow of itself and really become a metropolis
tan city which it's farming community, it's rail
road facilities, it's summer vacation sites and its
people so richly commend to the outsider,

The Esch-Cummins act undid four great
steps taken by the government during the war
which are indispensable to fair railroad serv-
ice in this country.
Competition between roads was eliminated
and the lines were operated as a unit. Goods
Travelled in a straight line.
Unnatural congestion of export business in
a few ports was also eliminated.
The government used it's better credit for

One trouble with business today is the fact
that Christianity is not considered as an essen
tial element in its conduct. The war did not
help it, but on the contrary, separated it still
further from the Divine principle Of humanity
and justice. Profteering is the work of the
devil and consequently the public suffers. Infuse
a few homeopathic doses of Christianity into
the business life Of the nation, and the entire
world for that matter, and all will be richer

You'll Get Rid of
 Blackheads Sure

There is one simple, safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackhcads and that is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store-sprinkie little on hot, wet sponge--rub over the blackheads briskly--wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads, little black heads, no matter where they are. simply dis solve and disappear, leaving the parts with out any mark whatever. Blackheads are simply mixture of dust and dirt and secre- tions from the body that form in the pores of the skin. Pinching and squeezing only cause irritation, make large pores, and do not get the blackheads out after they become hard. The calonite powder and the water simply dissolve the blackheads so they wash right out, leaving the pores free and clean md in their natural condition. Anyone troubled with these unsightly blemishes should certainly try this simple method.

t1ToHE Birmingham Music study clul


 win present Percy Grainger,
 pianist and composer, tomorrow evening at s:3O o'clock at the Jeffer- son in concert.
 Of MT. Grainger Musical America says:
 The career of Percy Gralnger in America has been a constant crescendo the present season, being by far the most extraordinary one he has as yet put to his credit. Beginning in the early fall of the season, he has con certized through the country and mas made new admirers for his art where ever he has appeared.
 MT. Grainger has taken very definite position, as he has stated in a number of articles which have appeared in tnis journal namely, the position of champion of the music of the Anglo saxon composer. By this he means the British and American composer. whose music he feels has not had the chance 1t deserves. In his New York recital on Tuesday afternoon, December ', at Carnegie hall he devoted a good part of his programme to British and Amer ican compositions.
 ''On November 2S he played the Con certino" for piano and orchestra by John Alden Carpenter, with the New York symphony, at Aeolan hall, New York, and scored a noteworthy success in 1t. In this work he revealed himself once more the enthusiastic champion of the new in music. He Is being heard as soloist with leading orchestras again this year, and leaves this month for a series of recitals in Cuba, new field for him, where his art will doubtless exert strong appeal.
 His compositions have again been widely heard, the London String quar- tet in its final New York concert, win hing one of it's biggest successes with his Molly on the Shore,' which the audience insisted on hearing twice, de- spite the fact that encores are scarcely customary at chamber music concerts" Paul Morris of the New York Tele- gram speaks of MT. Grainger in the following high terms:
 Far from the beaten path of pianists generally is Percy Grainger, who gave his first recital of the season yesterday y afternoon in Carnegie hall. His differ ence lies not only in his playing, but in the type of music which he presents. There is refreshing buoyancy to his style of presenting music that cannot be duplicated. There is nothing senti- mental or faltering in his touch. He is muscular and he is rhythmical. Every thing is played right out in the open, as clearly and directly as possible He exhumes the spirit of outdoors, if such I comparison can be drawn in contrast to the conventional drawing room plan ist who deals out fine sounding triviali- ties. He is particularly skillful in playing the music of Bach, and trans- cription of that composers 'Toccata' and 'Fugue' for organ in D opened the programme"
