ASK CHANGE
OF site FOR
POST0FFICE
Petition Signers Seek
New Location for
Building
FIGHT NOW CERTAIN
Opponents of Change
Allege Arguments
Are Selfish

A petition is being circulated asking
for a change in the site purchased in
1910 for a Federal building, on the
southeast corner of Second and G
streets, on the ground that it is not
centrally located and not adapted to
the purpose. The petitions are report
ed to have been started by Frank
Stencil, of Raymond, who owns some
valuable corner properties on Broad
way, here. The petitions convey the
impression that the site now owned
by the government is not satisfactory
to the department of tie treasury.
Opponents of change contend that
the petitions purpose is to delay the
erection of the building, for which the
department is now ready to award the
contract, in order to extend the occu-
pancy of the present postoffice, which
was erected for the purpose year
ago. In support of the site now own
ed, it is claimed that the location
is as central as could possibly be Sc
cured, and that it is but $50 feet north
of the old postoffice, which was en-
tirely satisfactory, so far as location
was concerned, for fifteen years; that
on the city map, in which the city cov-
ers 46 inches east and west and 32
inches north and south, the site at Sec
ond and G streets is IA inches from the
north line, 18 inches from the south,
"a inches from the east and % inches
from the west line.
To the allegation of the advocates of
the change, that the site is too far
from the business center, opponents
say that business and professional
men patronize the postoffice, by per.
sonal visits, very slightly; that they
buy stamps and stamped envelopes in
large quantities, and send clerk for
personal visits. They say, also, that
postoffice being in the business
section is not so much an object with
the postal service as it's being central
ly located geographically; that the
postal authorities consider the ideal
location one that resembles the hub
Of a wheel, from which radiate as
spokes the different carrier routes, it
being the desire of the department to
deliver all letters by carrier when pos
sible.
Opponents to the petition express
indignation at this action of a non
resident speculator in Aberdeen real
ty, fearing possible delay in the erec-
tion of a building costing $157,500,
which would go forward this spring
unless the petitions should cause delay
by holding up the awarding of the
contract until an inspector is sent
here to probe the matter.

The Socialists will center their

BREAD FOR THE LIVING
SHR0UDS FOR THE DEAD

want to say word or two to my fellow-citizens of
Aberdeen in regard to the appeal that is now before us
all to send relief to the destitute Jews in the war
AS has been stated already, this is the first time that
the Jews to Christians to ask for bread for the needy
in their ranks AS a people we are not given to
begging and the world knows that We would rather
not make this appeal but the crush Of calamity leaves
no other way out The number of Jews suffering is so
great the Jews alone cannot make adequate provisions
And when say Jews suffering it not only men
and women, but also children and babies, who to
have been brought into the world to die from hunger and
exhaustion, while your and my babies cuddled and
taken of with the best the world affords pierce
my heart to think that such nnocents should be crying
for milk bread and there able to the call
Think Of mothers seeing their babies wilt away like
flower and imagine the untold agony of mothers heart
It is true other nationates also have been made to
suffer- But their suffering, sad it u.s. has not been
aggravated by an unjust discrimination at the hands
of their own government, such as has been ac-
corded to the Jews in Russia 1t is their so-caled
accorded to the Jews in Russia. 1t is their socalled
government that has caused their homes to be burned
and ordered them at moments notice to become wan1
derers the face of the earth wanderers unfrend
country where their best friends seemed to be the grave
AS said before the distress has been aggravated by the
fact that the Jew is considered unfit to be citizen al
though he is considered fit to lay down his life the
battlefield for the sake of preserving the very govern
met that treats him and his aliens and outcasts
at the time when 900 Jews in the thick of BATTLE show
themselves equal in bravery and patriotic zeal with any
engaged in the terrible slaughter The cry of distress
is great that Jews at wits end to know
what to do The number of distressed is great
there is way of answering it unless fellow Amer
ican citizens will come to assistance.
therefore, appeal to my felow-ctzens of Aberdeen,
to do their share in this matter We do not wish to speak
of the ready response have gven giving and hope
to give in the future have in the past any appeal
of distress. We proud of what we do in such
matters and since the tables have been turned since
compelled to appeal to you for the Jewish
people in the zone, confident that you will open
your hearts and gve each in accordance with his
her ability to give Large SMALL every donation will
be appreciated and help to cement that feowfeeling
