two members OF the city council, s
Giddings and John Lewis acting az
a committee to judge the various pileG
and award prizes. There was also a
prize Of $40 offered for the cleanest
block in town but the judges felt that
the matter was misunderstood evident
ly by the boys and this amount was
cut into 20 equal cash prizes and add
ed to the awards for largest piles.
There were 1877 boys entered in the
contest and the first prize Of s. was
won by Leon Jennison, Cal Reeves
and William DOwney. The secout
prize 50, went to Elmer and William
Gallon. The third prize Of 81 went to

ed before over 40 loads of trash. The
success OF the movement was so
great that is is probable that the bank
will offer similar prizes again this
fall and that the boys will succeed in
making Great Bend spotleSs town.
The citizens Of the town can GER
tainly offer thanks to the bank for
the way in which the boys were in

THE MAN OF
ACTUAL EXPERIENCE

Victor c. Gnau, candidate for regis
ter OF deeds on the Democratic ticket,
is peculiarly fitted for the duties OF
this most important office.
For twenty years. Mr.. Gnau has
been a close student OF the business
OF the office of register of deeds. Dur
ing that period. he has been the prin
cipal representative OF the Burton Alb
stract Ofrice In the county building
and, as such. has had an excellent op-
portunity to study the innumerable
details OF the business OF the depart
ment TO the head OF which he now
aspires.
Aside from his knowledge OF the
business OF the Office, 1t is pleasure
TO meet Mr.. Gnau. Naturally cour
teous. II seems to be Mr.. Gnau's one
aim to assist those not familiar with
the intricate workings of q registry
Office In securing the information
they desire.
Mr.. Gnau has lived right here In
Detroit all his life. and comes from
a most respected old German family.
His father, the late John Gnau, was
probably one OF the best known citi-
zens Of this city, and the son is indeed
a worthy successor OF the father.

To Provide Tons of Fish and
Fruit Now Thrown Away
at Cost of Handling
WILL SAVE GREAT WASTE

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug IL
Thousands of tons of fish and fruit
go TO waste in California while we are
busy making paupers through means
of organized charity" declared Mrs.
]. Z. Coleman. 1T is time We stopped
this In some wa yand | am organizing
women into a club for the purpose
OF stopping 1t at an early date.
Our object is to put the food that
Is now shamefully wasted into the
hands OF the poor at as low a figure
az the expense of distribution will
permit
The fishermen, the ranchers and
other dealers in perishable products
have agreed enthusiastically TO our
plan, and this week we shall open dis
tribution stations in various places In
the city in easy reach of the citizens
OF the poorer sections.
"Ranchers coming in early will stop
on their way home and leave any
crates or baskets OF fresh fruit or
vegetables that have not been sold.
Il is possible that, in time, We may
have our own market.
However, Just now we are trying
10 stop the leak that is causing star
vation while tons OF perfect food Is
dumped In San Francisco bay to keep
up prices or into trenches near Los
Angeles. This sort OF thing is cry
ing shame. The middle man makes
II impossible for the poor TO be fed
when there Is plenty OF food.
This distribution plan is part OF
the work being done by the Coleman
House association, which is doing, IN
a modest way, such work as the huii
House Of Chicago does on scale that
has won for its workers WORLDWIDE
fame.
Associated with Mrs. Coleman are
a number Of club women and Mrs. T.
r. Brainerd, chairman OF the press
committee.
'It In not our purpose TO pauperize
by giving; but we Will give the 1000
away before we will see 1t spoil. Wor-
thy poor can always be found, to give
TO whom will be boon, says MIS-
Brainerd.
What is paid for the food Will help
paw expenses. Some time thls laii
We shall open tea room in the ousi
ness section. Here we shall serve tea
and light lunches at moderate prices

the Coleman House association and
the proceeds will all go TO the distrib'
uting stations. ~ :

NOT much unless you can help others

mean as much to us as to the poor
They may mean great deal 10 the
