ally too busy looking after their own
affairs or indulging in a period of
play after years of strenuous effort,
or, having made their pile, take no in
terest in the progress of their town.
Consequently, it is up to the younger
business men-those fellows who once
a week take luncheon together. Many
a good plan for civic advancement has
been launched during this little period
when the man who has worked hard
all week has a chance to relax for a

bone of the community.
In all progressive moves money, of

Many of the appointments of the
President are made by and with the

seem to be necessary.
Of course, few of these things are
in Oakland, but we are only three
minutes away, and with the commu-
nifty of interest spirit developed, we
will soon be joined.
Ninety-siX per cent Of US are only
one-half of one per cent, and without
the essential kick.
Let the four per cent fellows come
