Want $500 for Exhibit

Dayton, Wasn.--A committee
from the Boosters club waited on
the county commissioners recently
in the interests OF an appropriation
for an exhibit at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition. While the board
could not act officially, the commit
tee was assured that any expense
that might be incurred in collecting
material, ETC., until the next meet
ing would be met, and the matter of
special tax would be taken up. A
half-mill tax will create a fund OF
about $500, which is deemed none
too large. II

THE United States Navy Afoat and
Ashore" an illustrated lecture which
has been given so many times by John
r. Cox, Of the enlistment bureau. that
the films are worn out, has been re-
tired after a farewell presentation at
the Navy Yard. More than 200 per
sons heard the last lecture and ap-
plauded the lecturer and pictures.
This lecture was used 10 get enlist
ments in the navy. 1t was given with
the aid Of 1900 feet of moving pictures
taken aboard ships, in barracks. and
elsewhere, and moro than 100 cOlored
stereoptiCOn views. The lecture has
covered a wide circuit, and has been
delivered in most of the central States,
where the navy and its dOings are not
so we'll known.
The gunbOat Wasp was taken up the
Mississippi and other navigable rivers
OF the West for inspection of the good
folks who paw taxes for a navy, but
know of il only chiefly by hearsay and a

They never thought the day would
come when they would cry, nay, beg

all OF a sudden a nickel has taken on
the proportions OF the almighty dollar
