At tho short business meeting which was held following tho dinner President Mooney presided. Tho roport of Ira li. Bare, secretary of tho Chamber, was tho principal topic of tho program. It has been carefully proparofl and was read so that all could understand. It was warmly applauded. Short talks were made by John B. Edwards, J. Q. Wilcox and Harry Dixon, after which subscriptions were taken for tho 1923 budget and .the meeting ad journed. Tho voting for four now directors took place during tho din ner and tho result was announced during tho business meeting. L. B. Dick, Henry Hansen, W. H. McDonald and 0. H. Thoelecko were elected. Tho retiring members of tho board of directors were W. B. Starr, W. J. O'Connor, Carl Simon and S. M. Sou dor. North Platte owes these men a debt for tho service they havo so will ingly given. If tho follows who crltl- ciso the Chamber of Commerce were to givo ono-tenth as much timo and effort to the public good as these men have given during tho past year, North Platte would not need a Cham ber of Commerce at all. Everything would be dono before they could get to it. Tho niombors of tho Domino or-1 chestra leavo Monday on a ono week tour playing at several different towns throughout tho state. Their schedule for tho week is as follows: Jan 1, Paxton, Jan 2, Sutherland, Jan 3, Gothenburg, Jan. 4, Lexington, Jan. 5, Kearney and Jan G, Ogallala.
