If we cannot push these faster is because we have to use more tact than usual, if, however, we can collect . 60 - per. cent of them, we will have sufficient funds to wind out the fiscal year, closing In .Feb, 1st 1915. We have a -prqUt of about $400.00 tn next year's Chautauqua, based on present sale of tickets, which might be used as collateral for aay deficit we may sustain because of poor collec tions th h. fiscal year.

We do not believe it wise to give the matter pub licity at th's time. j "We also shall take up rural tele ? phone mattor with Mr. Spier next week when he ls here, having ar ranged conference. Recommendation. I "The secretary believes that it will be best during the next few months to concentrate all energies on secur ing a grain elevator and a county fair ?for Anderson. It we can do both ot these things, it. will necessarily mean a great deal ot time and attention and , hard work.- On the elevator proposi tion, we have - several sets of plana on hand now and our committee ls -expected ?o push the matter. It will depend entirely on tho farmers wheth er or not we can put it over. We do not underestimate tue problem. The secretary also recommends that plana i be put in motion as Boon aa possible [for a County fair, along modern and up-to-date lines, for next year. This can be done on the right baals, and made to pay. even it we have to lease lund. These two things, both Of which are badly needed and will be of great good, might well be the basia of sev eral months work. In addition, to these we have to put on a campaign shortly- probably in December, for tho first night tickets to the Opera House, also handle the 1615 chautauqua The secretary recommends that a general meeting of this body be held -ei4tlon because that will re- ! iieve over ?400,000,000 that ls hov? tied up In banking reserves, but will then bo available as loanable funds to keep ! thc- wheels of business and factories turning. "Tho balance ot foreign trade com menced .running In our favor In Sep tember, moro strongly in October, and will continue to gai? for months to come. When the railroads got the ad vance In fr eal ght rates they are justly j entitled to, ?hat will bring them tack Into the markets as buyers of all kinds of supplies, especially' Iron and steel products. They are by far the biggest buyers of faotory-mado arth pies, and the largest employers of labor ot any single interest' in this Cohntry. When the railroads prosper the steel mills are busy, and when the iron and steel business booms we all make money.-' ? - .< ' "Thu rid anther gentleman, I asked t /oar business!' - J utomobtle wanfoctur?r^ ? says; I will forget /or*re In business.* i be Bu '< Is Advertising-, and th? in the Trade Insurance business.
