do not intend TO, preach to the young

whether it be relished or not; and her.
it is: Make your organization entire
ly new. Leave those who fought and
died in the harness of the old institu-
ton out Of the running in the new.
What can those who officiated at the
burial Of the old organization con-
tribute in service To the new? The
shadow Of the shroud still clings about
them. Let new blood rule; let new
blood hold the officers. Let the optI-
mism Of youth have full sway. Moth
ing will more quickly kill the Young
Mems Business League than the hav-
ing of members of the old organiza-
ton debating its policy. Now, then
that's all the advice we have 70 give
We offer the fullest, freest publicity
TO the new organization. We never
withheld space when the Chamber Of
Commerce desired it; we gave freely
We will gladly do the same thing for

go yet further: We are ready to con.
tribute out mite to make it go, and
We shall not attempt to dictate its pol.
icy. The Young Mems Business
League will find The Times a booster
That's our long suit. We will be slow
to criticise and ready to commend. II
there is anything we can do to help
We await your command. We have nc
command to give. We venture this
by way of closing: When the knock.

pany with them, nor aiding them. No
On your life! When faction stand:

Road Ihfor1nition Often
Hard TO ret From States


With the annual expenditure for
roads and streets in the United States
approaching the billion dollar mark,
more accurate Information and better
means for obtaining it seem necessary,
says the Bureau of Public Roads of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. One thing very much
needed is the concentration of all
sorts of information and statistics
concerning the roads of the various
states in the state highway depart
ments.
Engineers of the department are
now gathering complete information
regarding the road mileage and ex-
penditures in the United States. In
many Of the states much of the infor-
nation desired is easily obtainable
from the state highway department.
In the case Of Iowa the figures were
obtained almost Immediately. In 9TH
or eases it has been necessary TO send
cut numerous questionnaires and
sometimes the information has been
obtained only after personal visits.
In one state 1900 missionaries had
to be sent out to bring in the needed
figures, and in some it has been found
that practically no records have been
kept. For some of the counties in
New Mexico questionnaircS rad to be
translated into Spanish before the
road officials could understand them.
Americans use an average of eight
matches each person a day.

Modern Antiques" Being
Produced Wholesale
In Germany

Berlin, Feb. 11.-Modern antiques"
are being purchased wholesale in Ger
many for sale to unwary foreigners
and newly rich Teutons who have been
prompted to seek objects of real art
by the news that a number of princely
families have been compelled to mar
ket family hcirlooms and rare treas
ures, according to investigation of
some clever buyers.
The business of dealing in imita-
tions has been so profitable that hun
dreds of new antique" stores have
been opened, and representative with
choice lists Of things "old families"
have to part with are encountered at
every turn.
One way of attracting the interest
of prospective buyer has become so
common it has almost lost it's value.
The antique" artists manoeuvers for
an introduction and in the course of
conversation mentions an old friend
who once stood high in the favor of
the former emperor, who must now
sell his priceless hcirlooms for mere
song TO buy his breakfast rolls and
Sausagcs.
The mans name, of course, cannot
be divulged, he is so proud, and it
would be such humiliation. Arrange
ments may be made, however, to view
the antiques in the dwelling of an ac-
Guaintance, or they can be transport
cd to the shop Of some antique dealer
This method is more successful with
the newly rich Germans, who appre-
ciate the part pride may play in the
situation, than with foreigners, es-
pecially Americans, who have learned
that pride does not often prevent a
prince or even a former king from
talking business when few hundred
thousand marks are in sight.
Prices for genuine antiques, owing
TO the keen competition among pur-
chasers, have reached staggering pro-
portions and possessors of these treas
ures are marketing now, either under
the press Of necessity or for business
reasons. Some pieces belonging to a
former King of SaXony, whose heir
is said to have disposed of his entire
house furnishings, brought as much
as 100000 marks each.

The Young Mems Business Leag

The Young Mems Business League
comes into being, and the Chamber of
Commerce and Agriculture is now de-
tunct. 1t is customary to funeralize
the dead, and hence we feel called
upon to say few words over the
grave of the deceased Chamber, of
Commerce. 1t had many enemies and
few real friends. Nothing it ever did
was thought worthy of praise from
the lips Of its enemies. It made some
mistakes and I performed, whether
YOU grant 1t or do not grant it, real
service throughout the years of tbs
worthy career. 1t kept open house,
for one thing. II was ready to ex-
tend a welcome to strangers, which
was moro than most of you ever
thought 10 do. 1t provided a meeting
place fire" Of cost to the users, and
isked not what you came for. 1t pro-
vided warmth, light, privacy and
charged you not n cent. That's more
than any individual in Union ever did :,
or evct will do. 1t advertised the town
and proclaimed TO all the world the
fact that Union was not dead. Some
.ow faithful men kept steadily on at
the task of holding open house. Those

supported it had it degenerated into a
collecting agcncy,or protective mer-
chants association, or u money-mak-
ing institution. It died because il was
h:truistlc, not because it was useless
x passed away because the few who
k"pt i going felt that il was unfair

and without one word Of praise. 1t

though many who actually did con.
tribute TO It's support SO regarded it.
Those who benefited most by it's ex-
jst"ncc gave least to its support. There
rever was time when it was nun rs
q closed corporation. The gates were
wide open. Those who really cared
10 might have come in; and, coming,
would have been welcomed. Thosei
who maange the concern made some
mistakes, so it is with all things hu.
man. Nothing under the sun is free
from all blcmiShes. We could enum-
crate number Of things actually done
by the institution. But what is the !
use? 1t is dead: let it rest in peace.
Most people expect too much Of al
Chamber of Commerce. 1t cannot be
felped; they just do, that's all. It!
was never intended to be regulator, !
political machine, dissector of the
