Will Have Rally Night.
In reporting for the agricultural COM
mittee A. M. Hoffman started dis
cussion of considerable Importance,
During the discussion that followed, in
which Jean Riley and others took a
prominent part, it was unanimously
decided by the club that the club
should hold meeting in November
at which the farmers of the district
should be invited to be guests of the
club Mr. Riley said the commercial
club should be interested in developing
the agricultural interests because
. everything that helps the farmers tends
to help the city and that most every
thing that helps the city reacts to the
benefit of the farmers. E. J. Barkee
of the membership committee suggested
that his committee get busy in mem
bership drive and that sort of rally
night be held in November for the
new members and the farmers. That
was considered a good suggestion.
Finally E. E. Jaqueth moved that a
special committee be appointed to pre-
pare for such meeting in November.
L. S. WEIGH suggested that some good
speaker be obtained for that night who
could discuss farm problems intelli-
gently with the farmers. The motion
was passed and President Joughin an
pointed on that committee A. M Hoff-
man, r. E, Russell and E. J. Barkee.
E, M Boyes gave an Interesting re-

closed season on birds but said this
district surely did not want an open

did not give the state commission
power to change the dates Of the open
season on native pheasants, that the
season was stipulated by law, and that
the game commission was helpless ir
that matter.
