vent Meetings However.

A meeting of the committee appoint
ed two years ago to call mass meet
ling OF citizens for the purpose of nam
ling candidates for school director. was
held this morning in the office Of Ma.
Tor w. B. Collins. A motion was made
by Major Collins and seconded by
John r. Dimond, to the effect that in
view of the new law, there seems 70
be no reason for calling meeting.
The Collins resolution which was in
dorsed by the committee reads as fol
lows:
81 move that it is the Judgment OF
the committee that no meeting to
nominate candidates for school direc-
tor be called because of the change
Of law since, the committee was ap-
pointed.
wv. B. COLLINS"
This motion was seconded by John
r. Dimond.
This action Of this committee, how
ever, does not mean that meetings can
not be called. However. the new law
provides that any one may become a
candidate by filing his petition of
nomination with ten names attached,
with the secretary. These petitions
of nominations must be filed seven
DAYS before the election which is on
March 8.

better than turn his attention to the

offices in the state are still awaiting
the decision of the big guns at Wash

United Charities Comes TO Aid Of
~ Family Of Nine Where Man Has

II is, no little matter when one is
the head of large family to be laid
up sick for thirty days. There Is a
family who are just passing through
similar trials and are finding 1t i'm
possible to keep the wolf from the
door without some outside assistance
There are nine in the family and the
income has never been more than
sufficient to buy the barest neces
stiles and at times not ample for that
The United Charities has through
some Of its friends, been able to make
up the deficiency. There are several
instances very like this and there is
a good opportunity for several to help
out through this organization.
