A Board of Trade
■ a Town Builder.
Honor Roll for January
Lois Mill School
No town that aspires to DO
THINGS can afford to be jyith-
out a good live board of trade or
some similar organization.
The board of trade is to the town
what theaggressiveadvertisomet
is to the business man — it puts
all of the telling points before
the prospective custemor.
Alive board n 2ver sleeps. 11 is
alwavialne to the possibality of
of adding another citizen and
another enterpi ise tothe commu
nity. And that is what builds
your town--the adding, one by
one, of people and enterprises.
Men who DO THINGS—live
wires do not locate in a t >wnun
less there are inducements
That is the one great work of
your board of trade—to create
inducements* to bring about con
ditions that will attract desirable
enterpris.vs and desirable citizens
Mar ufactureres, dealers, buisi
ness men are constantly on the
.alert for LIVE towns in which
to locate their enterprises.
In the great majori y Of cases
these entriprises are largly de
pendent on the ccoperation and
encouragement of the citizenship
of the town and surrounding
country for support. If that is
given, the town adds the pro.
posed enterprise to its list. If it
is withheld, the enterprise
PASSES BY and goes to the
town that DOES co-operate and
support.
But just getting together and
organizing a hoard of trade and
then becoming absorbed in our
OA'n affairs is not going to turn
the trick.
No board can put a town on
the map w t'lmil; the hearty co
operation cf t e citizenship of
th ! town and ount.ryside.
NofrvS ly should every enter
prising man be an actiye^inem-
bec, but each should coi.s'der
hr sH-f ‘.personally p'elged to
uphold the organization in every
way.

Napoleon's Brother.
An interview with Napoleon’s broth
er Joseph, from a hitherto unpub
lished manuscript, appeared in Har
per’s Magazine. It throws an interest
ing sidelight on Napoleon’s directness
of speech. Joseph was sent for by the
emperor. “On my arrival," says the
narrative ”... being a man of
few words and little ceremony, he
abruptly said: 'I have sent for you,
Joseph, to make von king of Srnin!”’

The Fight to tho Death That Ended the
Live, of Crockett and Bowie,
Since 1822, when Mexico threw
off the yoke of Spain, the lew
American colonists in Texas had
endured much at the hands of tho
new government. A climax was
reached when Santa Anna seized
Mexico City, overthrew the Consti
tutionalists and made himself dic
tator. lie was Lite particular enemy
of the Americans and ordered the
arrest of some of thej»08t promi
nent niuotig them.
This brought clashes between
them and the Mexican soldiers.
Friends came from Missouri and
Louisiana to help, until dually they
organized a little army, and with
Ben Milam at their head marched
upon San Antonio. After u stub
born house to house fight they took
the town on Dec. 7, 1835.
Here they were joined by Davy
Crockett and others, und here they
Rwaited the coming of the enraged
dictator, fortfying themselves as
best they might in the old mission
church and its outbuildings.
When Santa Anna arrived at tho
head of his 5,000 men he summoned
the 200 Americans shut up in the
Alumo to surrender. Their only
reply was a shot fired from the can
non that William Travis command
ed. The Mexicans immediately laid
siege to the old church, and for ten
days pressed it with vigor. lts de
fenders, hopelessly outnumbered
and with no chance of re-enforce
ment, prepared to fight to the
death. On March G, to the sound
of the “dcguillo” (no quarter), the
Mexicans advanced for the final.as
sault.
Their ammunition exhausted, but
fighting with their clubbed mus
kets or anything else that they
could find the heroic band of
Americans fought on until, little by
little, they were killed to a man,
Travis athwart his cannon, Crockett
upon a heap of Mexican soldiers in
front of the main church door,
Bowie, sick upon his cot, defending
himself with his famous knife. So
“Remember the Alamo” became the
watchword of Texan freedom.—Er

Why Bread Causes Fat.
White bread is fattening because
we rarely digest it completely.
Starchy foods are quite unaffected
by tho gastric juices which digest
the meats. Their digestive fer
ments are obtained cbielly from the
saliva in tho mouth, which there
fore should bo thoroughly mixed
with each mouthful before swallow
ing. But white bread is fi soft and
lacking in substance the. we un
consciously swallow it loi.g before
it haB had a fair chance t> become
sufficiently perme.. A with the di
gestive saliva, j :e . lit is de
