MAYOR PROCLAIMS
PEOPLE URGED To REFRAIN

WORKS JULY 4TH.

The state fire marshal at Pierre
has sent out IN appeal to the people
of the state to refrain from the use
of fireworks on the approaching ma
tional holiday, July 4. In his appeal
the fire marshal says:
There is a more appropriate use
for the explosives that would be used
and wasted on the Fourth OF July
and perhaps blow some small boys
hand away or burn a part of your
town
The appeal by the state fire mar
shall is receiving the attention of city
officials of the state and the mayors
of a number of towns have issued
proclamations urging their citizens
to refrain from the use of explosives
on the national holiday. In line with
this action. Mayor James Robertson.
of Madison, has issued the following
proclamation:
ITO the people of Madison. Ina
view Of the warlike condition of the
country whereby il lis necessary TO
conserve all its resources. /. James
Robertson, mayor Of the city OF Mad

TO refrain from the sale or use Of
fireworks on the Fourth of July.
1917. While il ha- been the custom
to use explosives on this national
holiday. equally patriotic methods
may be used in its observance with
fireworks eliminated. There is a city
ordinance prohibiting the use of fire
works within the city limits, but il
has heretofore been enforced in mod
Grafton. permitting citizens reason
able privileges in their patriotic dem
o%nstrations. ! do not wish TO invoke
the provisions OF this ordinance liter

liens to refrain from the use of eN-

Rough stuff" with circuses is
practically a thing of the dim and

vigilance of the arrangements of
travelling amusements, they cannot
prevent rough men from following
them. Last night sneak thieves at
tempted to stage a play in the con-
fectionery store of Henry Koehler,
one Of whom diverted the attention
of the proprietor as the other hunted
for a stray nickel while hidden from

man, from Howard, lost a watch
when two negroes hit him in the face

man paid for two tickets, for the

his tickets, two Is and a SIS bill in
return, leaving him $12 short in the

The funds raised are intended as a

we have been assigned the personal
services of one of these efficient
nurses, Miss Winters. Under her

Persons feeling an interest in the

LIBERTY LOAN
EACH CITY SHOULD SUB
SCRIBE BASED ON POP
UIATION.

Washington, ID. c.. May 23.-Defi-
mite allotments of liberty bonds have
been placed tentatively. il was re-
vealed today, by the treasury depart
ment opposite the names of the chief
cities Of the country, varying from a
few million dollars to approximately
$3.50, 600 600 lin the case Of New
York. These allotments represent
the sums which, in the opinion OF
treasury officials. should be sub
scribed by the population of the vari-
Gus cities. They were obtained by
computations involving the total re
sources of all banks OF the cities. and
make liberal allowances for the fail
ure of any one community to take its
fun quota OF the bonds.
Included i'm the allotments to the
various cities are allowances for u
burban towns and cities and the ter
ritory which is financially tributary
thereto.
Allotments have been computed by
federal reserve districts. as the cen
trail headquarters OF each section OF
the country will be the federal re

of bank resources to this extent, as

will find their way to the federal re

A way was found today at a on
ference among representatives. of the
chief savings banks of the country
and officials of the federal reserve
board and treasury department by
which a portion OF the proceeds may
be ~redeposited i'm savings banks
which are ineligible to membership
