The social life of the town is organized in a hundred directions and each organization has its purpose and its place to function. They all look to the Chamber of Commerce in an emergency. THEY ALL LOOK TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN AN EMERGENCY. The other evening we dropped in at a meeting of the directors of the C. of C.

Co, the Community iiouse. ment made last week as to the nature oL community work to be supported reached a good many people. They also see further and other work to be done, but they are willing to boost for this line of work. A good many, too, think that the combination of the city business and the Chamber of Commerce work in the Community House is a good and workable plan.

It may as well be admitted right here that this suggestion does not come in any way from the Chamber of Commerce. It may be also admit the Odd Fellow dedication; one to help out College athletics, and one to boost the High School athletics. Now our plan is this to tie all these organizations up with the C. of C. Let every one of them buy a membership.

The C. of C. in town has to supported morally and financially, the Odd Fellows are asking for its services now, many of the others have in times past not only work but money. $25 a year to help maintain a place where women can go -and take care of their babies even if they have to go down in the individual purses to get the money as it is my duty and I am not afraid to tell them so either at long range. It is just as much the duty of the Why should they not have a membership and now be contributing their influence and their cash to this community work of Manhattan that goes on from day to day? The Chamber of Commerce needs Corn and cattle are both going down the scale, wheat never went so very high anyway, hogs are down halfway from the peak, and still the lagor unions are talking about a big strike.

If half of their advance had been taken away, they might be allowed a chance to squeal. Cattle are selling down where they did years ago and cattlemen are going broke. But the packer and the retailer are not suffering any. In fact the profits are just as long if not longer than before the marge went to pieces. There will be less cattle and hogs in Kansas next year than for many years.

It is just as much the business of the Grange and Farmers Union and the Labor Union to have membership in a body that acts as a free employment agency, as it is mine. I don't know where I am going to get my money back but I am willing to have $25 spent along these lines every year.

I don't know that any of these organizations will get their money back but I think they ought to kick in anyway. ted that at the meeting of directors of the Chamber of Commerce every one present objected to moving the office of the Chamber of Commerce to the Community Building. But the fact remains that the kind of community work that the Chamber of Commerce is doing is the kind that should be done at the Community House. If it can be done there and is done there, then there will be no reason to spend several thousand dollars a year to maintain a Chamber of Commerce on the outside. If this work cannot be done from the Community House, and that seems to be the fear of the C.

of C. directors, then the Community House should be abandoned for Community work and turned over to the Board of Education for educational work or to the National Guard for military, reserving the right to the use of the auditorium for occasions where such a hall is needed. ought to do, it also needs the close personal co-operation of more people, a lot more people. A few score of us are paying $25 or more each to keep it going to do the work that is as much yours as mine. Now let us put this organization or some other to do this work, into the Community House, and in addition to the support that it gets now, get all the organizations possible to take membership to give it power to bear the added duties that will come with the Community House.
