A splendidly representative body of
Orange citizenship met at Elks’ club
rooms yesterday afternoon to hear
reports of committees and perfect or
ganization of the Commercial Club.
Chairman Farwell called the meet-
ing to order and stated the purpose
of the meeting, and said the first com-
mittee which should report was the
committee on constitution and by-
laws,
Oscar S. Tam, for the committee
on constitution and by-laws, submit-
ted a draft of the constitution and by-
laws, w hich he read and explained
was the unanimous judgment of the
committee. The law* provide th^t
the president, first, second and third
vice-president*, and secretary, shall
l>e ex-officio members of the execu
tive committee, and that the execu-
tive committee shall consist of eleven
elected member*. A quorum of the
club for the transaction of business
shall be twenty-five. The dues shall
be not less than $1 a month, and
members should subscribe for at least
a year. Corporations and firms may
be eligible to membership for firm or
company and individuals, hut no firm
or company shall be entitled to more
than three votes, regardless of the
number of members or amount of
their subscription.
Before proceeding, however, to
adopt the constitution and by-laws,
the chairman said that it would be
well to pas* the membership list
around and sec if there were not some
present who had not signed, and
would. Thus several new names
were added.
Then followed some discussion of
parts bf the constitution, the only
objections being raised by Mr Ford,
who thought the posting of names of
applicants for membership five days
in the dub room was unnecessary and
objectionable; that where a man was
willing to pay as was required, the
three months dues in advance, he
should be accepted.
Mr Tant explained that the com-
out one thousand 4*
and three acres 4*
of land along the shores of 4*
Caddo Lake. The state won the 4*
case in the trial court and the 4*
t defendants appealed. The litigra- 4*
4* tion involves an endeavor on 4*
4* the part of the state to secure 4*
4* for the school fund all of the 4*
4* land between the “random" 4*
4* boundary of the lake and the 4*
4* actual boundary of the private- 4*
4* ly owned property as shown by 4"

Eye Abuse
Headaches
Your eyes are most obedient
servant*. They may complain,
but will patiently toil on in your
behalf They will stand more
abuse than any organ of the
body; bnt when through con-
stant neglect and rough usage,
their delicate adjustment be-
comes disturbed, how quickly
the servant becomes the mas-
ter.
Neglect and abuse of one’s
eye* results in some form of
eyestrain that necessitate* the
use of glasses the rest of your
life.
Nine headaches out of ten
can be directly or indirectly
traced to eyestrain, besides
many other ailments that seem
incredible.
Our graduate optician will
skillfully measure your eye de-
fects, and where glasses are
needed will fit you perfectly,
and we guarantee you satisfac-
tory result*. *
Consult us todajr about your
eyes, without charge.

Rev. Father Smith Preached His Last
Sermon Here Last Night.
The Catholic mission, which has
been in progress at St. Vitalis church
for about ten days, was brought to
a close last night with a sermon by
the Father on “The Dignity of a
Christian Life.” He took his text
from one of the Psalms and the life
of David, from which he spoke elo-
quently of the beauty, strength and
dignity of the Christian life, closing
with a strong plea to the Christian
people for a search of their hearts
and a closer walk with God.
Prior to the sermon, Father Smith
said he had only one question and
that came to him by mail. "Have you
any record of the Catholic church
prior to 251 ?” He said while that
was a proper question, he had some
doubt as to the purpose, but he would
answer it. He read some references
from printed history, of various Sees,
Bishops of Bishops,’’ and statements
of the head of the church, from the
year 60 to 260. He said that the
church wax, of course, in a formative
state and other conditions were such
that there was not that complete
record that was made, increasing each
year after the date named, He said
that Linus was first after Peter, next
Clebus. then came Clement L, ami of
those coming later he dwelt upon St.
Steplvanus, who was in about 254-7
the head of the church, and these
quotations referred to Rome as the
home of the Sec.
After the sermon the Papal bless-
ing was conferred. This was an im-
pressive ceremony. The Father ex-
pressed his thinks for the many kind-
nesses extended him. and for those
of the members and the pastor in aid
