C. OF C. SECOND ANNI-
VERSARY DINNER
President B. NJ. Little Made Re
port For The Year.

The second anniversary din
ner of the Lexington Chamber
of Commerce was held last night
in the Sunday School room Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The menu committee of which
John Chamberlain was chair
man, had provided amply for
the inner man and woman; the
eats being served by The Vic
tory. The music committee, Ir-
win Morris chairman, had a
player piano from McCall's Mu-
sic Store, and the Missouri Gas
& Electric Service Co., donated
the use of its radio set. So there
was nothing lacking for enter
tainment. The decorations were
in good taste and made a pleas
ing setting for the event. Mrs.
Cannon was chairman of this
committee. There were 119
present.
The event of the evening and
the most vital to all inter
ested in the work of the Cham
Der of Commerce, was the re-
sumo of the accomplishments
of the Chamber of Commerce
for the past year. Mr.. Little
was listened to with rapt atten-
tion and every one present was
forciably impressed with the Sc
riousness in which the Board of
Directors and the Officers had
entered into their work and
what it had accomplished. Mr.,
Little spoke of the criticism that
had been made in respect to the
employment of paid Office
force. In part, he said: "The
paid secretary marked the diff.
ference between the success OF
the Chamber of Commerce anc
the failure of associations that
had been born and flickered out
in a few short months, because
these associations had had nc
one to do the work" And he
was absolutely right. A Cham
Der of Commerce is a clearing
house for civic activities and nc
one is so foolish to think that
it will survive and accomplish
anything without direction and
without constant surveillance
on the part Of trained secre-
tary. Those present surely
must have endorsed Mr.. Lit.
ties defense of the board in this
particular.
The report of the treasurer,
VIM. L. Groves, was read. This
report showed a balance in the
treasury of $18.17. The books
had been audited by Jas. R
Moorehead, Jr., and Joe Mann
and found correct.
Roy S. Rausehklob from the
st. Louis Chamber Of Com.
merce, was present and made a
short talk along the line of co
operation between the various
forces of a community.
The result of the recent elec-
tion for members to the board
was read, and the following
were declared elected; E. ]. Nc.
Grew, Edward Aull, Karl Wink
Ter, John Chamberlain, ano

COACHING sTAFFs REMAIN

/ COACHING STAFFS REMAIN
New York, Nov. 28.-Even though
many eastern records might be lit
tie bit better looking at the end of
the 1922 football season, few changes
are expected among the prominent
coaches.
Because the Yale eleven turned out
: to be fine fizzle instead of the great
! machine that was expected last Sep
TENDER it was expected outside of Yale
circles that Tad Jones, the Eli mentor
would lose his Job.
Jones not only will not lose his job
but he will be given a vote Of conf
dence this winter, according TO re-
liable information. Those on the in
! side claim that Yale Numbered and
floundered AROUND this season through
no fault O fthe coach.
Losing to Princeton and Brown,
Harvard had bad season but no one
of Crimson following had a thought
Of holding Bob Fisher or the Houghton
system responsible. The Haughton
system is mighty influence at Har-
ward.
There were rumors that Fisher
would leave and that Percy Haugh-
ton the guiding genius Of Harvard
football would return to Cambridge
next fall TO try his hand at develop
ing non losing team. The stories
were believed most every place but
at Harvard where they drew the
laugh.
Bill Roper may not return to Prince
ton because he is now laboring under
the pressure of outside business and
it is understood that he may be named
for a responsible government posi-
ton. Roper is now prominent in Phil
adelphia politics and has good law
practice.
The Tiger coach has established
system at princeton that has shown
results as good as those of Haughton
at Harvard and if he leaves Princeton
will have huge task finding some one
to step into his shoes.
Johnny ffeisman is sure Of his job at
Pennsylvania University but Hugo
Bezdek may step out Of the athletic
chair at Penn State and get back into
professional baseball as the manager
of the Philadelphia Nationals.
Gil Dobie has done so much for Cor
nell that he is sure of his job and Bob
Fowell is regarded as fixture at the
Naval academy as long as he wants to
stay there. Major DAILY may be re-
lieved as the West Point coach be-
cause he is due for other duty.

Dry Norway Bad
Business, Says Quest

San Francisco, Nov. 28.-Norway
is having the same trouble with its
prohibition law as the United States,
according to DR.. Ernest Ely. of Var
doe. Norway, who is touring the Unit
ed States.
"Norway's prohibition law was n
most stupid political blunder," declar-
ed DR. Ely. "Unless it is soon repealed
it will soon lead to the ruination of
the country.
Our law is not as drastic as that
Of the United States. in that it pro-
hihits only strong liquors. We can
still have light wines and beers. But
the people of my district-my town
is the most northerly city in the world
need stronger liquors to save fats,
"Not being able to buy the LIQUOR
nearly every family now has private
still.
"The worst part Of it is that the
liquor they make is of such poor quail
ity and so much more Of it is more or
less poisonous that the death rate in
Norway has increased greatly since
prohibition
In addition prohibition is having 4
very bad effect on the morals OF the
people. It is comparatively easv TO
evade the law, and. losing respect for
one law, they are losing respect for all
tho laws. 49,, .
ain addition. it is impossible to
nroperlv police the country and arrest
prohibition violators. Then too: the
prohibition police are very nearslght-
cd when it is a question Of arrestlng
boo+leqpers. &C Won call them in thi3
country provided they have been paid
sufficient amount of money IN adj
vanre. $3.50.
trv in large quantities and gin Is cas-
;lv obtainable. Of course the prices
for such LIQUORS have advanced great
" For this reason moct families
distill their own brandy from the
light wines which they obtain legitl-
matelv.
"Furthermore. Spain. Portugal and
France have all placed very high
+ariff on Norwegian fish because we
cut off their wine imports. AS re-
suit Of this Iceland has become a
very dangerous competitor Of Norway
in the fishing industry.
az do not think it will be long before
we will again pass law allowing I'M
nortstion of mort. madeira and sherry
from Spain, France and Portugal"
