To Work Street Corners

The regular working teams of the pot
latch button campaign, augmented by
the members of the chamber board of
directors. will work the streets of the
downtown section of the city today. -Four
committees will be stationed at the most
prominent street crossings, one on each
corner, and the only way for any man
to get by them without buying a button
will be to take down the middle of the
street.
The greatest handicap which the teams
have had to work under is the surpris-
ing ignorance of many prominent people
as to what, when and where the pot
latch festival is, and the pail which hangs
over almost everyone on account of the
terrible suffering of the victims of the
northern floods. The board of directors
wished it distinctly understood that they
were not endeavoring to aid the sale of
the potlatch buttons by coupling it with
the plea for aid to the flood sufferers:
instead they want everyone to feel that

protest swept over the large crowd. Many

liquors. Writing in 1859, shortly after
its introduction into England, Howell

apprentices, ETC., used to take their
