WHOLESALERS HEAR . TALK ON WAR CHEST G. F. Weidinan. campaign manager of the war h"st fund, explained to the representatives of the wholesale hiiieau of th" "hamber of Commerce at a special meeting of that body held Tuesday afternoon what is to he expected of each individual wholesaler in doing hi' I-art to make the war chest fund a success in this country. Th" plans outlined for the wholesalers will be similar to that of the retailers, in that, each employer will be expected to get the name and address if each man that is employed and turn it in fit the city poll hea d; ua iters. Mr. Weidinan in speaking of the reason for the plan adopted whereby the employer is left to pet the names and addresses of the men, stated that it would be a much easier task fo- the employer to j;et the required information than it would for some stranger to ((one in and do the work.

In tr to make clear to the members of the committee how haul it really was to get shipments, he said: "Only recently when I ordered $lo worth of groceries fro:i the Larkin company it took me almost three weeks to g-t the good."

IRE OF CLUBIE! Speaker Delivers Partisan Talk at Oliver Hotel Tuesday Night. 1 Taking the occasion to indirectly score the Wilson administration and making part of his speech a eulogy to the man at Oy.ter Pay. Col. S. McClure, publisher of McClure's Magazine, fatigued an audience of nearly l"o persons at the regular monthly banquet of the Knife and Fork club Tuesday nizht at the Oliver hotel. To um' the expression of a prominent member of the club Tuesday niRht. "McClure was so d n partisan that he ought to be rapped by the press throughout the country-" It required three hours for Mc"Iure t( tell his story which was but a resume of articles and stories published in magazines and the pie-s of the country for the past ear. In fact he read most of his speech from the book, "Conquest and Kultur." published In Th News-Times in installments several weeks a so. Cully a half of his audience left the banquet room before the conclusion of the speech. 'Rehashing the phrase 'Too proud to fiKht, which the copperheads of the country have thrown into the face of every loyal American since the war began, no reference was made by McCiure to Pres't Wilson and the circumstances under which the phrase was given utterance. McClui said that he had visited eleven of the warring countries but devoted an hour of hi talk on Japan and the reaoni why it could neer go to war with a gnat power. (illilan Saves I'cnln. .Strickland Cillilan. a humorist, saved the evening by his sparkling wit. "(live some people n park of flour, a pound of pork sausage and a load of coal and then ask them what Thrift stamps are," said Mr. Oillillan. "and they will tell that they don't know. "There isn't a case in this that when an army stool up you war and fought the (icrman troops that the latter were abr to stop them, and wh'Mi the American troops get starte our boys will not only check them, but will Kive them a certified check. "We are getting a lot of good out of this war, such as lessons In economy, conservation and common sense. We may be paying an awful price for the experience, but we are more than getting our money's worth," the humorist concluded. RED CROSS CAMPAIGN AT FIRST M. E.
