TO ADVERTISE DRIVE Posters Will nind That Effort Is Made to Make Organization a Virile and Progressive One. Thursday morning practically every business man and woman in Albany who is not now a member of the chamber of commerce, will have an opportunity- to enroll.

A committee of 20 men met at Hotel Albany this noon and divided up the names of the prospects. Simultaneously came the decision to have cards printed for members to display in windows of business houses. The members will exhibit them, which will show customers and clients of the participation in the civic body. The drive for members follows the realization of the potentialities of the commerce group as the result of the part taken for the passage of the bridge bonds. The members feel that the organization performed a service to the community and the county and wish to extend possibilities for future service.

This idea was outlined to the committeemen by Pres. F. E. Callister at the luncheeon today. The membership of the chamber is just sufficient to pay the operating expenses of the organization, pointed out Mr.

Callister. tie predicted that additional funds realized from dues from new members will be clear and will go toward community extension and benefit. More than 100 names were discussed at the meeting as possible members of the chamber and it is thought that a large proportion will enroll upon solicitation. The directors feel that there should bo at least 75 new members and have as their aim an enrollment of practically every business man in town. An alternative to the membership drive, a proposal to raise the annual dues, met with disfavor at the luncheon.

It is the opinion of the committeemen that the fees should be as small as possible in order to enroll a large membership. The men who will start out for a one-day campaign Thursday morning are: F. E. Callister, Waldo Anderson, Roy Dowd, A. M.

Hammer, W. V. Merrill, Morris Senders, C. H. Murphy, G.

Plans are to have a big supply of the 'animals" on hand for those who are too excited over the game to eat a hearty Thanksgiving dinner. GHOSTBALLNOW OUTOFPRACTICE Albany football fans may see the famous "ghost" ball in operation every evening between now and Thanksgiving. The appearance of the "ghost" ball was made last night when the college squad went the rounds long after the regular ball was invisible. Coach Greene sent the team through a stiff workont last night and says that moonlight practice will be the order every night for the next week, and a half, whethere these is any moon or not. The passing game of the collegians is to be improved before going against the heavy Linfield outfit and all of the college supporters are hoping for a dry day so that the locals can cope on an equal with the Baptists.

A wet day would give all of the advantage to the visiting eleven. With Snyder and Cooley back on the squad the backfield is strengthened considerably. Cooley, however, is right at home on end and may be used there so that Looney can fill in the line someplace and give added weight there. Barring possible injuries in the Monmouth game Thursday, the Pirates will be in the best of condition to go against the Linfield college heavies. It is reported that Linfield has a heavy agregation and as heavy teams go is slow and strictly line plunging outfit.

On the Albany side there is little beef but plenty of speed and fight, opn playing and a nearly perfected aerial game. Linfield weighs in as heavy as many conference teams. The Baptists outweighed the Willamette University about five pounds to the man but the sreed fthe Bearcats bewildered the slow moving acquarians. Mc-Minnville's only score came OS a result of a blocked punt. Mrs.Emiline Hassler, Pioneer of Santiam Forks, Knew Auto Before Railroad.

Many people get provoked if their grandiose schemes are not attended to promptly. An Englishman wrote an indignant letter complaining that the council had not yet given due consideration to his unfailing scheme to determine the weather in all parts of the world months in advance.

Cranks the world over flood the League with wierd projects. EXACT WEIGHT OF STEER IS GUESSED BY R.F.D. NO. 2 MAN O. H.
