T3E COMMERCIAL CLUB
it is gratifying to learn that
our Commercial Club is to be
re-organized — for as the spring
advances, matters will arise
which require public attention.
As our town is not yet in
corporated we h ive no mayor
ami city council to rely upon,
therefore it is an absolute nec
esssity to have a public body
which devotes its activities to
matters of benefit to the com
munity .
The present cl 10 in its in
fancy did much good publicity
work and brought McCarthy
well forward. Unfortunately
some of those who were the
foremast workers, are at present
away for the winter, and those
left behind do not seem to re
member that this club is to for
ward the growth and improve
ment of the town and ihcidentally
help the business man.

THE LESS E SAY
THE MORE V E HEAR
England and France have furn
idled a good example of “ Wise
saws ami modem instances*’.
•t might indeed he taken al
most as a case of exchange of
international courtesies.
Fi ance early in the war be
came aware of the spy Peril,
and posted a notice, which
when translated »\vads; ” Hold
your tongue! Use caution!
England followed suit, and
America nia} well learn e irlj
the folly of indiscriminate talk

A French officen sends to Le
Figaro a quartrain til it ne found
posted up in large letters at a
great railway station. He offers
it as an illustration of the simple

ht-ard.
Soldiers should imitate that old
