Hero ia organising an amateur ath

vicin ity i t « ig ible i f over 16 years of
age, the purpose of the club being to
promote clean amateur athletics, se
cure neeessry physical exercise under
proper conditions end the upbuilding
o f each m — h en physical condition.
Lists fo r tbs enrollment o f charter
members wure placed in the local
stores last weak w ith the result th at
more then 60 have signed the member
ship ro ll a t this tim e and i t is hoped
to have the number doubled by next
meeting date by having each present
member bring in one new member..
A meeting was bold Tuesday even
ing in the barber shop for the pur
pose of perfecting organization and
election o f officers and a board of d i
rectors.
D r. C. H. Johns was elected
chairman, Tom Fraser secretary, and
they w ith S a ri Dodd. G. E. Mathews,
and 8 . H . Arbutbnot were unanimously
elected to the board of directors.
Among other matters discussed at
the meeting Tuesday and partly ar
ranged fo r were the installation of
shower bathe in the opera house, the
securing o f the opera house for
athletic center, gymnasium apparatus
and holding of smokers.
D r. John* donated a hot water heat
er to the club and Paul M ille r, Shorty
Andersen, Prank H ulery, M cK. E lla-
worth, L . F. Smith and Archie Blue
were appointed an installing commit
tee to place it and connect it w ith
shower attachments. G. E. Mathews
also donated the use of the opera
house for the next meeting and smok
er to be held as soon as the board of
directors are ready to report.
The board of directors ware to meet
December 2d for the purpose of draw
ing up a constitution jipon which the
members o f the club w ill sot nt the
next general meeting.
They w ill
also plan the buying o f equipment,
holding smokers, training o f athletes,
and other things th at may coma up to
help make the organisation Drove
success.
The organisation as yet has no
name, but members are a ll trying to
figure out a suitable name between
now and the next meeting date, which
w ill be held in the opera house a fter
which a lig h t “ work out“ w ill be
held.
Every body interested in clean
amateur athletics and the betterment
of the community ia invited to be
present at this meeting. <*
I t la reported that immediate efforts
w ill be made by congress, during the
ision thia mouth, to secure passage
o f a law placing a duty on imports of
t and flour. I t is considered very
lik e ly that tbs proposed b ilf w ill pass
tbs bouse, but may not pass tbs senate
and i f I t should i t is (bought that
President Wilson w ill k i l l I t w ith the
veto. The present low price o f wheat
io tbs U nited States is largely be-
of tbs democratic Underwood
ta riff law enacted in 1914, shortly be
fore the w a r began. N ot many people
interested in the price of wheat know
that there is s “ reciprocity“ clause
in the Underwood ta r iff law that v ir
tu a lly transfers to the Canadian gov
ernment the rig h t to determine i f the
United States shall levy duty against
wheat coming into this country from
Under this clause of tbs American
ta riff law whan ever Canadiens have
S surplus o f wheat—as this year—the
privy council of Canada can revoke
tb e ir duty against thia country and
that in turn autom atically repeals any
duty this country has or wants to have
against Canadian wheat w ith the i
ault that this foreign wheat flows
freely into tbs U nited States and reg
ulates the price a t which American
farmers must s ell.
When the Canadians have had fu ll
benefit of tbs Underwood ta riff law
and have no surplus to sell they can
reverse tb e ir action and again assess
a duty on American wheat and A m e ri
can farmers are then shut out of sell
ing to Ohnads except in competition
w ith A ustralian
wheat going into
that country under favorable condi
tions because o f membreship in the
B ritish Em pire.
