turning point in its history. Three 9TH
err strong men will be heard In the same
cause from the platform Of the Metho-

too good to present this subject. There
was a meeting Of the special solicitors
of the city at the office of the Grinneli
Electric and Heating company Thurs

more work of that nature. Today began
a house to house canvass OF the city
seeking to enlist the aid of those who
have so far given nothing and to m.
crease the amount each one has al
ready pledged il that be found to be
within the bounds of reason. Emerg-
ency pledges are being placed in the
hands of solicitors and people who are
able and willing will be asked to sign
these to act as an anchor to W1ndWard
in case the ship is likely to be blown
upon the rocks on the last day of the

ency notes will not need to be used or.
if used at all, will be but for small
amounts, but they will be the final eff

the imposed conditions. Everybody is
hopeful atho fully recognizing the
