ED EARNST RECEIVED INJURY LAST FRIDAY From Friday's Dally Last Friday, Ed Earnest took the Farmers Union Co-operative truck to the William garage to have some work done on it. It was necessary to crank the engine by hand and Ed was doing this when the crank slipp ed out and the end of the same gave him a mean crack in the mouth. His lip was badly cut and his false teeth jarred loose. It was necessary to take several stitches to close the wound on his upper lip and the worst thing was that Ed had to lose his mous tache, so we are wondering now whether he will leave it shaved off or whether he will grow another as soon as the wound on his lip is heal ed. He is getting along nicely and under the doctor's care the wound Is healing nioery. However, he had to lay off for a few days but is now back at work again. Elmwood Leader-Echo.

Particularly in and the Missouri the middle west vallev has nature plated many natural advantages that should appeal to the heads of the great plants of the eastern states to place units of their organizations, many of these already making plans for seperating their great plants in the east into smaller units and placed in the less heavily populated sec tions of the west. There is more contentment among wrokmen. less of the spirit of strife and trouble that marks many of the larger centers of population such as has been shown in the recent troubles in the textile industry in New England. New York City and now at Cleveland. Ohio. In the large centers the workmen find a more strenuous strueele. thev are crowded and congested and deprived of the more attractive things of life that should bring a more contented spirit and the result is that there is al wavs more or less of unrest felt by both the employer and the em ployee.

Officers of the Chamber of Com merce to Remain Those Selected at the Annual Meet ing Withdraw Threat of Resignation Made From Pat ii may's Da'ly The oflie rs selected at the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last week will reman in their ofhees a:-, mimed, aPho most of them have felt that they had devoted all the time that could be asked to ivic affairs and that they should be re lieved, but as the members of the Chamber was so united in their de termination to retain them that they will remain. C. C. Wescott, president, Se,:il s. Davis, vice-president and Fred I Lea, secretary were the officers ih;.t were threatening to ins-urge after two and three years in the of!ice, but they will now remain and in the coming I year serve as faithfully arid well in jthe city's interests as they have in ' the past. ! These jelltleinen have been on the job constantly in looking after the work of the chamber of Commerce and often at a very gr at sacrifice of their own time and buine.s in terests and in consenting to on tinue in the offices, they should have the hearty co-operation of all of the people of the city in their efforts to improve the city in business and industrial lines. The city is the property of eery individual man. woman and child, and as earnestly as they strive to make it more successful, just that soon can this be established. Many refer to the city development as a matter in which ethers and not themselves as well were interested, which is a very wrong viewpoint, as everyone residing in the commun ity should strive to give support and aid to any business or enterprise that will aid in the development or grow th of he c'v. It ii not what are "they" doing? it is what are "we" doing? that counts in the making of a successful citv where industrial life will thrive and business enter prises find success in the surport of their own people and thereby attract the outside world to their door. The Chamber of Commerce repre sents the effort to secure a definite working unit thnt will i-trive for the advancement of the city in a busi ness and industrial way. There are many things that the Chamber of Commerce can accomplish, but to do so they must have the aid and m-iral support of the citizens in putting across measures that would add to the expansion of the city in popu lation and business and industrial life. The Chamber of Commerce is not a closed corporation, anyone in the community that wishes can join, and is urged to do so. Get in the or- tganization if you have any ideas on civic development express inm- neip ' . . : -I put mem across d acute instead of complaining that "they" have not carried out what you might wish for but not laid before the ivi body for their consideration. Every man or woman has some ideas that would be of help let the Chamber of Commerce hear from them you can all be a specialist remember Chick Sale?
