They might even march as far as_the Mississippi river. But may the Lord pity them when they started to march back. There would not be one left to reach the coast.’ “That is the exact view I take of the possibility of the Germans landing on American soil today.” DIED SUDDENLY.

It s pointed out that several assoclations such as this have made their greatest success based on exchange of credit information and collection of bad debts as an associa- tion doing this work at cost and backed by the whole body of business interests can collect more cheaply and surely and insure against heavy loss tht careless and professional bad debts can cause. Notice is glven of a motion to amend the constitution by changing the name to the Putnam Chamber of Commerce. This name is the most common today and the state and na- tional bodies use it also. It suggests the scope of an organization that will deal with broad general questions of city improvement and not business alone. It is also a shorter and more convenient name. Some people feel that one who is not in business for himself has no place in a business man's association, but would of course be welcome In a chamber of commerce. The directors, made up of the offic- ers and the executive committee, will meet this (Thursday) evening at six o'clock at the Putnam Inn. They have asked the merchants’ committee, and a few other members to join them there to discuss soliciting members. The members who attend will take supper together, each paying for his own score. The merchants’ committee is form- ulating plans for Thursday afternoon closing during July and August, begin- ning July 8th.
