CHAMBER or COMMERCE The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Cham of Commerce was organized yesday with about 45 present and a y lively interest. Mrs. F. M. Farr 8 elected president, Mrs. J. M.

There is no doubt as to Union ring a magnificent body of most ellent men interested in anything it will bring success to Union and ion county, but it would be as imtsible to run a Chamber of Comrce without ladies as it would for old bachelor to do up to date housejping. The ladies are certainly ened to take part in the affairs of town and county, they have clear ion and excellent ideas, and when comes to gettin gtliings done, the e, wide awake woman cannot be Iten. Our hats are off to the ladies 1 we do not want them to feel that can work for the very best inests involved without their help, j want them to maintain a lively erest and work with us for the nmon good and to feed assured that >ir cooperation will be duly appre ted. rhe Housewives' Copoerative ague of the Chamber, a unit of the ixiliary has been in existence just month, yet great good has come, r merchants notice the difference deliveries of goods, and the setment of bills, and to these ladies no doubt due the credit for having delivery system. The Auxiliary as body will be expected to give moral support and coordinate lamfKything which stands for the ft- ?teresta of our people. These Gun.tbe directly in charge of the wratar?(en8. They will take conthe clean-up and paint-up tterment. Investigate families Tn id, dissemiate information, in short mulate every vital interest of the amber. The results of the efforts ng made would fall short of the rpose if the people themselves stood and permitted some servant of the blic to perform every duty. Cernly as results come those who ve so unselfishly contributed their lin, time and energy will be hap\r than if they had taken no part latever. The Union Chamber of mmerce is not out for celebrations, it air," fire works and big noises, t service, and as their newly adopted iblem implies, there is service for in which the ladies can be of inimable benefit.

Here is Bad News fur The Tattooed Men Enlisted men who have had their hands, arms and chests elaborately tattooed must now have the tattoo marks removed, which may be an even more painful process thar the first. The following bulletin was issued yesterday: "It is reported that soldiers have had the infantry insignia tattooed on their arms, with names of regiments and companies, and their own names. It is obvious that the men thus tattooed are valueless for patrol duty and their capture would furnish the enemy with information. The practice is prohibited. Commanding officers will so inform their commands and take the necessary steps for the effacemcnt of these marks wherever they appar.
