EDITOR ADDRESSES CHAMBER Os COMMERCE J. IL Gorrell of Bremen, Outlines Possibilities of What Organization May Accomplish. James R. Gorrell, editor of the Bremen Enquirer, and President of the Bremen Kiwanis club, was the speaker at the first general meeting * of the Walkerton Chamber of Commerce held in the school house, last Thursday evening. While^the attendance was not all that was desired or even rightfully expected, yet the interest was good and those who came felt amply repaid for their time and effort. Mr. Gorrell in a very interesting and forceful manner told of the benefits to be derived from wholehearted cooperation in any organization of forces, working toward a common goal. He said that much could be accomplished for Walkerton and community if each member of the Chamber of Commerce wil{ seriously consider his obligation to the organization, and lend his entire efforts to support it. Mr. Gorrell told of the work being accomplished in Bremen and outlined their mode of operation. At the meeting of the Board of Directors, following the talk, it was decided to make the next general meeting, which will come on Thurs/iay evening, Nov. 12, a feed meeting at which time there will be plenty of fun and excitement for all. More detailed announcement of this meeting will follow later on. The read sign committee, of which C. M. Carter was chairman. ' reported that 96 road signs, painted in gold, black and white, had been made and are ready to put out.* The signs are made of wood, are about 6 inches wide and point the way to Walkerton. The :public is kindly asked to permit these signs to be placed on fences and due care taken to see that they remain in place undamaged. The Board of Directors also decided to hold a Walkerton slogan contest with a free membership in the Chamber of Commerce for one ; year, valued at >5.00, for the person submitting the best slogan for; Walkerton. The slogan should be short and catchy and one adaptable to many uses. The following slogans are given as examples: “Me for Walkerton,’’ “Buy it in Walker-j ton, “Try Walkerton first.” Try i your hand at forming a slogan and mail it, with your name, to Roy Gindelberger, Secy., of the Chamber of Commerce. Contest closes Wednesday noop, Nov. 11, and the winner announce.! at the general meeting on Nov. 12. In case a person, already a member wins the prize, his membership will be extended one year. Any one may submit as many slogans as he cares to. Radio Carnival Proves Bier Success • The Radio Carnival given by the . ladies of the M. E. church on the ' town commons Wednesday afternoon and evening proved to be a big success in suite of the threatening weather which ’persisted in hanging over the tents thru out the day and evening. Several tents were erected to house the various radio stations and j each did a thriving business until I practically everything was sold out. The chop suey station, which had prepared to serve seventy-five people, was forced to sign off broadcasting before six o’clock because the supply had been exhausted. The hot dog and hamburger stations, along with the ice cream and cake booth were able to replenish their supply and continue, broadcasting until the usual signing off ' time. The novelty nooth. with its comfetti, whips, paper hats, balloons, j whistles, and general assortment of noise makers proved very popular among both old and yoyng. Some real fortune teliing was broadcast by real-for-sure-’nuf gypsies. Any-, way they looked like the real article, I thoush it is rumored that both gypsies live in Walkerton. The rummage booth, where used articles of clothing were sold, was ‘ also well patronized. Many fine articles, all in good, clean condition ' were passed on to new owners at low prices, to give much service. A par- . cel post station at which wrapped I packages were sold for 50c also did a good business with many satisfied customers. A farm produce station was well supplied by the farmer ladies with potatoes, squash, eggs, turnips, etc., most of which found a ready market. Credit for the success of the car- i nival is dye to Mrs. C. E. House; ; and Mrs. John Flack, presidents of the ladies class and of the Ladies^ | Aid, together with their energetic ; committees wbo worked hard to make it a success. Oliver Screen Lillian Gish will be seen at the j Oliver theatre. South Bend, next! week in her latest picture,"Romola,” a film version of the famous novel by George Elliot. Dorothy Gish plays one of the leading roles, it being the first pic- । ture in which the two sisters have I appeared together since “Orphans of the Storm.” Others in the cast include Ronald Colman. William H. Powell, Charles Lane and Herbert Grimwood. besides a number of distinguished Italian actors. The picture was made at Florence. Italy, the actual locals of the story under the direction of Henry King. Pome people just hate to see a man enjoy life and prosper at the same time.

Use Your Brakes Propei- care of the brakes is one of the best safety-first habits a motorist can form, says a bulletin issued by the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club. The majority of drivers use tiie footbrake almost entirely, relying upqn the emergency to turn the trick in tight places. There are two things Wrong witn this method; first one becomes accustomed to the foot brake and the emergency is { strange, and in case of danger one , will find it is good motoring sense : to become familiar with the emergency brake. In the second place, it is advisable to save the foot brake by using the emergency. This especially lis desirable on long hills, where . the lining may be worn out in de- ! scending one steep grade. On long i steep grades the driver should • shift into first or second; in this I way if you are driving’ a six cylinder j car you will have six additional i brakes, but even then you will need J to use the hand and foot brakes. Try out your brakes every morning, and have them adjusted about once a month, depending of course on the amount of driving you do. | - Former Liberty Pitcher Going Good At Bend •'Big Jake” Wesolek, former North Liberty Grey’s hurler, who has been pitching for the fast Studebaker team, in South Bend, continues to make good at his chosen position against the fast semi-pro teams that meet the auto makers each Saturday. Next Saturday they meet the South Bend Independents and a big game is expected. The News-Times says, “In Big Jake Wesolek, the Studebaker club has one of the greatest amateur hurlers in the game and a real 'pitchers’ duel should be the result when he faces Davenport on the mound. Wesolek, in a recent game between the M. and A.’s and the House of David, fanned seventeen Isrealites and members of the Studebaker Athletic club are confident that he will be able to baffle the Independent batters.” Want To Be Healthy?

CONDITION IS PLACED ON COUNTY PAVING County Council Mould Kequire North Liberty To Stand Cost Os Pavement Thru Town. North Liberty town clerk, M. L. I ! Clark, has received a letter from I the County Council at South Bend, | suggesting that if, the town of | North Liberty will stand the ex-। i pense of paving thru the center of 1 town, the county will consider exitending the pavement of the Liberty' ’ road from the Riley road north to the Wabash tracks in Nori . Liberty. i This decision cam< follov in.; the I regular meeting of the county Council last veek when sew ral citizens i of North Liberty were present to in- । tercede for the road. The movement on the part of the County council caum as a distinct i surprise to all people in t is section iof the county who are interested in seeing pavement on the Liberty ■ road completed to South Rend, with in the next few' xa us. It would seem that the county council has de cided to cut down the annual expenditures for roads and that the Lib- , erty highway is one of the first roads to suffer under this program. While a cutting of public espendii tures is alwavs welcomed by the tax j j l ayer, it is difficult to understand । why the program should strike such i a severe blow to this particular [road, when it. more than all others I perhaps, is in line for pavement. I A. C. Steele. President of the . North Liberty Chamber of Com- I merce has called a joint meeting of I the Board of Directors of that organization and the Board of Town Trustees, for Friday night at 8 o'clock at the State Bank, to consider the proposal of the County I Council. Is It Fair to Printers The whole principle involved in the subject of government ownership of industry is wraipped up in the government printing and selling stamped envelopes, the only absolutely socialistic movement that the government has gone into. To the everlasting glory of the, American press and particularly the I rural press, ft has stood solidly as ; a matter of principle and without i price against all encroachments of government which would tend to break down or destroy American ideals of freedom and the right of exercising individual initiative and enterprise. It has done this in the face of government competition and government ownership in the printing industry and in spite of the fact that a large percentage of stores, "banks, doctors, lawyers, and manufacturing institutions which would fight such competition in their own line of business, consistently fail to patronize the printing offices of the publishers from whom they expect protection when necessity arises. On orders under 10.000 it is impossible for printers to furnish envelopes with a printed return address at a price to compete with the government. For amounts over 10,000 larger printers can produce printed envelopes far below government figures. It is the smaller publisher and printer who is hurt worst by the government competition. This Is the general rule in all lines of activity W'hen government ownership is established. The more the government gets into the field of business, the more impossible it will become to eliminate the government printing of envelopes. This problem affects not only the printers of this nation, but every individual who ever hopes to do anything besides draw pay in an official position.

PLACE DIKII IS TINALLY COMPLETED LargeM Drainage Project in State Was Started 20 Years Ago By The Late Dixon W- Place. The Dixon W. Place ditch, considered the largest drainage project in Indiana, lias been completed according to an announcement made last Saturday by J. R. Demmary. construction commissioner. The ditch starts in St. Joseph county, mcir Crumstown, and ex(tends southwest, being the boundary line between LaPorte and Starke j counties, mainly along the course of the Kankakee river. it is 72 miles j long, the main artery being 35 miles long. Work on the ditch was begun about the first of January, 1922, and was finished this xveeK with the completion of one of the laterals near Wilders. The ditch has 20 laterals and ! more than two and one-half million [cubic yards of excavation was done. । The Taesberg ditch, also a huge I drain project has about the same I amount of excavation, but the ditch is only approximately 34 miles m j length. ; The Walb company was given the contract tor the work at $363,464. 07. The ditch attracted considerable attention because of the litigation that developed over the replacing of the county bridges. The Walb company removed the spans and left them on the oanks, because it contended its contract did not specify that it replace them. The county sued the Walb company and lost its case. The countx- then entered into an agreement with the contracting company whereby dredgers reset the bridges and the county paid for the work. The movement was started probably 20 years ago by Dixon W. Place, late of South Bend, and formerly of Walkerton, where he held large marsh land interests. ! The object of the drain was to re deem lands along the Kankakee 1 river.
