There will o* no compromise
with "Old Man Fogy" in the
future. He has been beheaded,
as it were, by the people if this
city, and from now on nothing
but a vigorous campaign for a
greater and bigger Crescent will
be the slogan.
Crescent is in possession of a
real live Commercial Club No
moss will be found dangl ng
from the backs of any of its
mi tubers. It is a live-wire bunch,
fellows who do things An or
ganization of this kind can only
ti jurish in a town where grave-
yard ideas and poiicies have
been banished, and this is the
main reason why this body will
thrive in Crescent. Ttie town is
honey com bed1 with boosters. Are
y .u one?
The Commercial Club, in line
with its go-aheadiveness, has
Hsurd a call for a mass meetirg
on Friday night, December 8tl
Will you be there? This will bt
in important meeting. It in-
volves improvements that aie
necessary to Crescent's growth
and prosperity, v z A light and
water system for this city, if
our town ever expects to out-
grow it* present garb it will be
compe led to make these im-
provements sooner or lit t, and
why not now?
Now is the time and oppor-
tunity for the citiz?nship of
Crescent to shew its colors If
y iu are a booster get behind the
Commercial Club in their effort
to make a better town in which
to live aud do business, lui
provements of this kind are es
sential to the growth of any town

SWISS MERCHANT MARINE.
But if Switzerland is doomed never
to have a nav\ she may nevertheless
nequire a merchant marine. The
public lots been granted the use of the
small French port of C'ettc on the Meil
Iterriinean, and from tills place
ships hearing the white cross of
Helvetia may adventure on as many
of the seven seas as they may deem
idvisabh'. says ('lev. land PI: in I>ealer.
It is not apparent just why a land-
locked nation entertains maritime am-
bition*, but the French generosity
does not inquire too closely as to mo-
tives. Certainly the herdsmen and
hamois hunters of the Alps will never
ispire to be commercial rivals of the
French republic. There is something
ncongruous in the thought of a Swiss
sailor. The niounfhincers are excel-
lent and efllcient men In many ways,
Suit people Who never even smelled
(lie sea cannot be expected to ]troduc6
a crop of tars on short notice. Doubt-
less the ships under the Swiss this
will be commanded and manned by
navigators of other nationalities, and
will be interesting ehletly because of
lh«' strange ilag.uader which they will
sail.
There is a French fab'e whteh re-
counts that when animals talked, a
bat which had been pounced upon
by n cat screamed "Spare inc. I am a
lud!" but the cut proceeded to make
a meal of the creature, observing,
••You Will notice that 1 take you for a
rat." Evidently the object of the saga-
i..us feline gourmand was to escape
rlticism from the Audubon societies,
If sue 11 organizations existed at that •
time. Out in California measures have j
been ndopted which place the bat un-
der proteetion. The state fish and
game commission has issued notice
that bats are of great use in checking
the Increase of injurious insects. Tbey
hunt by sound and spend the night in
capturing bti s California lias >11
speries of birds and -s of bats. If
the conn, —ion can effect its object,
bats her-after will be Immune from
