Day and Perry Buckley. A ballot
was taken resulting in the election
of Fuest, Light Ravenscroft, Rindom
and Wellman.
The Democrat is of the opinion that
the Chamber of Commerce is in good
hands for the coming year, and that
the record of the past year, enviable
though it is, will be equalled. Under
the direction of President Cooper and
his able assistants the organization
has accomplished much good, and
there are many who will say that it
has been the best in the history of
the Chamber. With the earnest CO.
operation of the members and com
mittees, it is expected that 1923 will
be fully its equal
Mr.. Hobble made brief speech of
acceptance pledged his best efforts
and solicited the help of the people
of Liberal.
Mr.. Hobble, at the request of Mr..
Cooper, took up the matter of the
Goodfellows Club. HE explained
that the club was not charitable
institution, that the fellows who gave
money or time did it for the pleasure
they got out of it, All who wished
to contribute were invited to do so
and Judge Campbell collected a
handful of checks for the fund.
This completing the business of
the meeting, Mr. ]. W. Griest, of the
Retail Merchants Institute, was in
troduced. Mr.. Griest spoke for an
hour and gave one of the best bust
ness talks ever made in Liberal
Travelling all over the United States,
studying conditions and meeting with
business mems organizations, Mr.
Griest is well versed in the matter of
business management and co-opera-
ton, and he gave some valuable sug-
gestions.

At the close of his talk he took up
the matter of holding a Merchants
Institute in Liberal. This is some
thing along the same line as the
Farmers Institute, and deals with
the subjects of craftsmanship, serv-
ice, cooperation between merchants,
town and community building good
roads and kindred subjects. One
man comes for five days and there
are day and night meetings. The
might meetings are of interest to en-
ployes, hints on giving service to
patrons, as well as their advance
ment, are some of the subjects that
are touched on.
The writer was in Anthony, Kan
sas, couple of years ago. when Mr..
Griest was there and an Institute in
session. We met and talked with
several merchants and all were en-
thusiastic over the proposition, and
we also had the pleasure of attend
ing one of the MONDAY meetings.
Anthony has live bunch of business
men and they agreed that they had
profited by the Institute. If this is
true in Anthony and other towns it
certainly will pay Liberal to have
one here.

The Rotary Club

Rev. D. H. Mergler and Mrs. Earl
Rodgers were guests at Tuesday
luncheon. Ami German was chair
man. Earl Rodgers sang to Mrs.
Rodgers accompaniment, both be-
ing enjoyed. Henry Tucker an
.nounced that the Twelfth Div sion
had won the attendance contest, and
that Ardmore would have to make
public announcement and award at
the coming meeting.
The chairman stated that Eli Wal
ker would tell us what happened for
ty-nine years ago. He said the most
important event was his own entry
into the world. He reviewed some
of the events of the passing years,
their inventions and improvements.
Taking up the motto of Rotary, "He
profits most who serves best" he
called attention to the outstanding
benefits wrought by business men.
They build railroads, they manage
factories; better towns grow up
around their establishments. They
create newspapers, make education
al institutions possible Doctors den
lists and lawyers get together where
business makes good towns. Churches,
schools and hospitals multiply where
business succeeds.
Yes, but men go into business for
profit! Certainly, and so do doctors
and dentists and lawyers and every
other man who hopes to save little
or much at his trade or calling
Where does the money come from to
build churches, schools, fire depart
ments, water works? From the &C
cumulated profits, the amounts saved
or made above neceS sary expendi-
lures. If no one made profit on
his business or labor there could be
none of the things that we now deem
necessary to rational living.
Next week each member will or
der the number of pilates" required
for the Christmas meeting.
