CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
DINNER

The annual dinner of the Newark
Chamber of Commerce at Masonic
hall Thursday evening of last week
was attended by upwards of two hun
dred members and guests, including
a number of visitors from out of
town. Superintendent o. j. Barnes
acted as POSTMASTER and introduced
the speakers, the principal of whom
was James Schermerhorn, of Detroit,
whose topic was 'The Soul of City
He emphasized the fact that aloof-
ness and coldness was the universal
failing of most cities, especially the
large ones, and urged more friend
ly attitude toward strangers and
visitors, as the extending of the glad
hand aided much in the growth and
prosperity of any community. In con-
clusion Mr.. Schermerhorn compli-
mented Newark on the great number
of homecoming citizens. He said
from seventy to eighty per cent of
the people owned their own dwellings,,
which was an assurance of content
ment and prosperity.

HOW ABOUT THIS, BLACKIE?

The following story, whose truth
fulness is not vouched for, is told on
E. L. Blackwell, the veteran Inter
urban conductor.
Ote day last summer, a man
somewhat under the influence of j
Barley Corn, boarded his cor at
GAINESVILLE. He held ticket for New
ark, and when Bro. Blackwell took ii
up he asked:
"Say conductor, how far is it from
GAINESVILLE to Newark ?"
"TWenty-siX miles," says Blackie
Soon after he came back through
the car the man agian asked:
"Shay, Mr.. conductor, how far is
it from Newark to Zanesville?"
81 told you once" replied Blackie
"that it was twenty-six miles from
GAINESVILLE to Newark, and if it's
twenty-six miles from GAINESVILLE tc
Newark, it must be twenty-six miles
from Newark to GAINESVILLE"
"No, shir," he answered, "that
doesn't always w-w-work. You see
it is just a week from Christmas tc
New Years, but it's a d-site
farther from New Years tc
Christmas"

PRINTERS UNION

The regular meeting of Typograph-
ical Union No. 50 Monday afternoon
was opened and presided over by Vice
President S. o. Riggs, who put
through the business in record time,
as nothing of special Importance came
up for action.
After roll call, reading of the min
utes and financial reports, Edgar AL
bright and J. C. Gilcrist, delegates to
the recent State Typographical Con-
ference at Portsmouth, made de-
tailed report of the meeting which
showed among other things that the
movement for the forty-four hour
week is practically won, and the
number on the strike list is rapidly
diminishing. The report was re-
ceived and the delegates rendered a
vote of thanks.
A notice from international head
quarters was read stating that the
strike assessment which started with
ten per cent, had again been re-
duced and after May 20 would be but
two per cent.

TRADES AND LABOR ASSEMBLY Y

Regular meeting of the Trades and
Labor Assembly was called to order
at half past seven Wednesday even
ing by Vice President E. H. Frank
lin and was opened in regular form.
The minutes of the two previous
meetings were approved as read.
The credentials of Bros. K. G. Kel-
ly, Milo Sutton and Neal Litten, rep
resenting Plumbers Union No. 271,
were received and on motion Bros.
Sutton and Litten were obligated.
The report of the Legislative Com
mittee was accepted.
A communication from the Essex
Trades Council of Newark, n. j., adj
vising the Assembly that the trouble
between organized labor and the
Whitehead Hoag Co. is still unsettled
was received. Local unions contem-
plating purchasing badges or buttons
can secure them from Bastian Bros,
Rochester, N. Y; National Badge Co.,
Jersey City n. j. and Pettibone Bros.
Mfg. Co., Cincinnati, 0.
The war now in progress against
the chiropractors was discussed, many
of the delegates being of the opinion
that the law requiring them to be
examined before a medical board was
unfair, and on motion committee
was appointed to thoroughly investi-
gate the matter and report at next
meeting.
Quite a few other questions were
discussed and we hope much good will
result from the same.
The meeting was we'll attended and
all brothers felt that it was good that
they were there.
The next meeting will be held or
Sunday, May 9th, at nine o'clock

Dor and the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, and rejected by the late legis-
lature, will be carried to the voters

Won't Reduce Street Car Fare

The Columbus, Newark and Zanes-
vile Electric Railway Co. has noti-
fed Clerk of Council Hess that it can
not accept the recent ordinance re-
ducing the fare on city cars to five
cents, and asks that the ordinance be
repealed. The company gives as a
reason for such action that many im-
provcments in the service are con-
templated which will be utterly i'm
possible should the revenue be re-
duced.

e"El promedio de las gentes tienen

El hecho de que uno posee un billete

en- la imagination, bien que como el

No hay motive para que Sc divide

el billete de 5 es generalmente limpio

blemente sucio y gastado, por 10

Pero 10 que predomina en- ell des-

el hecho de que cada tres personas

WINTHROP
LEGION MINISTRIES
TAKE H 0 USE BY
STORM FIRST NIGHT

The American Legion boys Of the
Winthrop Post showed a large audi
ence last evening that they can shoot
hot Jokes across as well as they used
to shoot Huns in the war days, when
they put on their Minstrel show at
! the Town hall.
The performance lasted from s
O'Clock until 1910 and every moment
OF the time was brimming full Of
lively songs and snappy new jokes.
Lee WOOdman took the audience
by storm with his ballard, Tommy
Lad and the quartet composed Of
Don Titman, Bill Loon, Joe Blue
berry and +. G. Coffin were recalled
time upon time to repeat their roll
licking southland selections.
The end men seemed to have an
unlimited number of jokes and when
the program died down slightly they
filed in with these, keeping the
house in the heighth of excitement
and making the hours seem more like
minutes. and very short ones at that.
To tell more about the show would
spoil it for those who are yet antici-
pating the pleasure Of seeing it. One
is not. however, the least out Of the
way in saying the Legion Minstrels
compare most favorably with many,
and surpass some professional shows.
1t is expected that, in case the
Winthrop car line is opened today. q

Weather Guessing
FaVOrite Sport

Guessing the date when the Ken
nebec ice will leave has always been
a favorite indoor sport with the
older Gardiner residents. 1t is true
that that time appears to be some
what distant, when one considers the
present weather.
rom data on hand at this office
1t appears that only once in the
past 100 years has the ice left as
early as the present date. On March
second, 1896. Not only did the ice
leave on that date but it had plenty
of company on it's sail down river
Thesmajor portion on the covered
bridge which connected Gardiner and
Randolph, and several million feet
of logs accompanied it. The next
earliest date was on March IL. on
which date it left in 1871 and 1915.
In the last one hundred and five
years the river has opened in April
S5 times. The latest date for the ice
to leave was in 1854 and 1887 when
