the ikutliern Pacific in getting the
bank in front of the depot graded; also
la getting the owners of the buildings
to (in i m up the backs of the.buIIdui.Ks
rear the depot; "however," he stated,
"uiMne of that painting work is not
paid for as yet, according to the con
tractor who did the work." He stated
that the Chamber of Commerce also
did a great service to the entire peo
ple of the county by defeating the
proposition to raise the electric llcrhf
rates in a hearing before the state
public utilities commission.
Calls Members to Task.
Secretary Frederick ended his re
port by calling the members of the or
ganization to task for their seeming
lack of interest in the activities of the
Chamber of Commerce. He related his
experience in attempting to collect
dues from various members and state
fI thut it was impossible to do so ana
that lie had' made a great many enem
ies be runse of this fact. He road two
appeals. In the form of circular let
ters, that were mailed at intervals
nrginp the payment of dues. "Not one
cent fame in as a result of theao and
the Climber had gone to several dol
lars expense to get them out," he stal
ed . "The Chamber is powerless to ac
complish anything for the good of the
community',' ho stated, "unless the
inembers will take enough interest to
at least pay dues."
Committees Fall Down.
"During the past year," Mr. Fred-ferU-k
stated, "Upwards of 100 com
mitters have been appointed to per-j
form important duties and out of this
number only three ever accomplished ;
anything. These committees were,
me constating of ladies to look after
fho teachers who were here to attend
lie institute, another appointed to or-1
gTMnize a volunteer fire department and
one appointed for paint-up and clean
up work. Such lack of interest on
the pnrt of nny organization is enough
to disrupt it."
Industries Need Boosting.
Following Mr. Frederick's .talk Mr.
MeOluskny called upon the audience to
ofrer suggestions as .a what they
thought should be accomplished by the
Ctirmbor of Commerce during the com
ing year.
lieutenant W. K. Patterson made a
lengthy talk upon what had bpen ac
complished In the dairy inislntM r
(Ms. county and why the Chairber of
Commerre cheuM iret nr-hlml thi In
dustry wholeheartedly as, according to
bis Htatrroent, "The dairy ImikImrhs is
the coming industry of Llnoo'n coun
ty." Ho stated that In h'a nst'rmttnti
She people of the town and country
vnn itv-iv to the dnlrv cow for a great
mo-" profits than they .'m thru
the development of the lumber indus
try. C. E. Hawkins also talked on the
value of the dairy cow to Lincoln coun
ty making the statement that the Ileal
banks went through the deflation per
iod without having to borrow a sent
of outside monoy and that this ac
complishment was entirely due to the
cream check. E. L. Scott told of the
Importance of continuous light ana
power service and urged the Chamber
to moke this a campaign Issue for the
coming year Several spoke on the
same subject.
Need of Cannery.
One subject that created consider
able discussion was the need of a
cannery to accommodate the tons of
berries that go to waste in Lincoln
county every year because of lack
of a wav to care for the crop. It is
very probable that definite action will
be had to get a cannery located here
! to take care of the next crop.
' R. S. VanCleve urged that the Cham
ber do something in regards to build
ing a hitch rack ln order that farmers
can have a decent place to leave teams
while In town.
Many other subjects were discussed
and, if the sense of the meeting de
velops Into action on tho part of the
new board, it is likely that the people
of this section will realize that the
Chamber of Commerce is a grea'. asset
to a community and get behind it td a
man and at least pay dues into the or
ganization. County Agent Bedc Soeaka.
County Agent Heck was called upon
and he responded with a very spicy
talk bringing out the importance of
trade relations between town and
country and, he stated'what has been
said here tonight In regards to the
dairy and berry Industries gives me
murh encouragement ln the work that
is before me."
He urged the Chamber of Commerce
to take active part in every project
of Interest to the farmer and also
urged that a rporesentative delegation
from the organization attend all rural
"dolnirp" t" a mean of getting ac
quainted and helning create a 100 per
cent co onerative spirit between town
and country.

There seems to be ' a disposition
among our public school teachers to
take the education and training of the
children entirely out of the home thus
undermining the very' foundation of
home life. The association! Bhould

teachers should cooperate with the
parents to get the best results. The
teachers should know the parents to
get their good will and confidence,
so as to have more Influence in the
school work as well as to be more
helpful to the children.

"Kvea at Christmas, when all the
world fi guy and glnd," said the grey
bearded philosopher, "there come to
a raaa sad and solemn thoughts."
"Tea," agreed the young man who
had m mMi on the end of his chain,

are those that come to a fellow when
he reads of the marriage of a girl to
whom last Christmas he gave a dia
mond ring on which he is still paying
Installments."
