Commercial Club DOingS.

At the regular noon meeting
of the club at the Phoenix hotel
Monday the following business
was transacted that is of public
interest:
The Lyceum committee re-
ported that ticket sales to date
gave assurance that there would
be no deficit on account of the
winter Lyceum course.
The Commercial Club voted
to assist in the floating Of the
second Liberty Loan, and COM

personal work and give portion
of their time this week securing
subscriptions to the Liberty Loan.
The following gentlemen were
appointed as delegates from the
Cottonwood Commercial Club at
the joint meeting of the Ever
green Highway Association and
the Interstate Highway Associa-
ton in Lewiston Nov. 7th and
9th: E. L. Parker, w. W. Flint,
R. A. Minis, Frank Kelsey and
R. V. Wright.
The club has set aside $1OO
to be used in bringing the
Central Idaho country to the at
tention of auto tourists when the
state highway is completed.
When this road is opened it will
offer one of the grandest scenic
routes to be found on the North
American continent. And it is
the desire of the club that this
matter should be brought to the
attention of tourists and all who
have occasion to come into the
northwest by automobile. This
road will be a great advertise.

Bean Crop Brings $25,OOO.

Claud Craig had 375 acres of
land in beans this season from
which he harvested 1850 sacks.
The number does not seem so
large until transposed into the
value of the crop in dollars and
cents. Each sack is worth some
thing like sixteen or eighteen
dollars rather a tidy sum. His
entire crop of grain and beans
brought him over $25,000. Next
year he expects to farm $50
acres and will plant about 300
acres of this to beans.
The above from the Kendrick
Gazette proves that beans are
almost worth their weight in
gold.
The wonder is that the farmers
of Camas Prairie do not take
more kindly to the growing of
beans, as our soil perhaps is as
we'll adapted to the production of
this most toothsome and health
ful product as the land around
Kendrick is.
The farmers around Kendrick
make speciality of growing
beans, and as evidence that
nothing taken from the ground
pays better Except perhaps gold
nuggets) the two banks of that
small town have on deposit about
$500, ,O00-nearly all of it bear
money owned by the farmers ot
that locality for this season:

On and the program was carried thru
to the end, only a few people leaving

In n theatre where an American
play was being presented the audience
applauded the actors enthusiastically
and the company responded by giving
a cheerful round of applause on the
stage for the audience.
Another theatre lowered the fire
proof curtain after the first act! The
manager came to the front and said
the interval would be longer than u.s.

into the passageways where it would
be safer than in the auditorium. They
returned to their seats after half an
hour.

There were unusual scenes in the
underground railway stations. Women
in evening clothes rubbed shoulders
with workmen homeward bound
carrying kits of tools. Many persons
sat down on the stairways and read
newspapers while waiting for the sig
nal that all was clear. Others sang
and some danced.
But there was another side to the
picture. Mothers unable to get home
were distressed about the safety Of
their children and wounded soldiers
hohbled to places of safety on crutches
attended by their nurses.
After the raiders had gone thu
streets where bombs had fallen were
crowded with many thousand sight

PETITIONS FOR
CITY CITY OFFICERS
in CIRCULATION
Nearly all Officials Want
neutrality-suspicious.
Party Rumored.

Nominating petitions are being cir
culated In East Grand Forks for the
members of the entire present admin
istration for reelection, with the ex-
ception of the aldermen in the First
and Third wards and it is probable
that petitions for these positions will
be put in circulation within a few
days.
The economical way in which the
city has been run during the past two
years is one Of the main arguments
of the candidates for the nominations
for reelection. When the county OPP
ton came into effect a couple Of years
ago the city lost an annual revenue
Of $4,000 and expenses in the admin
~istration of the city had to be cut
down accordingly. The saalries Of all
city officials were reduced and the city
is now in good financial condition.
Petitions are being circulated for
Mayor Cornelius j.. Kelleher, Alder
men-at-Large Fred j.. Craig and En-
gebret Arneson; alderman for Second
and Fourth wards. John Vossler and
Fred Fogle, respectively.
1t Is rumored that a strong oppo-
sition party is in the field and nomina-
tons for members of the party may
be placed in circulation within a very

AS EARLY AS 1918

Berlin. Sept. "a (yia London. Sept.
acknowledgements here make it evil
dent that the Pan-German campaign
has not been without effect on the
German people. a great mass Of whom
Is still convinced that the Teutonie
military power cannot be defeated by
any combination of powers. After
having made such enormous sacrifices
for three years, this element would
not hesitate to continue the wal for
another year, within which Pan-Ger-
man victory is prophesied as abso-
|lUtely certain. 4
Regarding the question of Belgium,
It'll s safe to say that the view ex-
dressed in official circles here is, to
use plain words, that Germany is in
possession Of Belgium, and it is the
business of her opponents to make 1t
worth Germany's while to %evacuate 1t
Therefore the question of Belgium will
not be considered separately, but only
in connection with all other factors
that may form a basis for peace
negotiations. q

of spectacular fireworks. The scream
of the t%orpedoes used by the Ger
mans was distinguishable easily from
the explosions of guns or bombs.

\ Don'ts For Mothers.

A writer In a recent issue of Mothers
Magazine gives some very pertinent
advice to mothers i'm regard to their at
titude with their children. She says I'm
part: Don't think that the moment
you are alone with your boy or girl
you must find fault or endeavor to i'm
prove the occasion by little moraliz-
Ing, no matter I'm how loving n spirit.
This Is hard don't, for no one Is SO
anxious to help child toward perfec-
ton as Is the parent, yet 1t surely leads
to an avoidance of the moments alone
together, which should be times of
happy condolences.
Neither should parent correct the
child before others Never mind II a
well meaning relative does say, My
dear, l ann surprised that you do not
show more force OF character; your
children are suffering from a lack OF
discipline Pass the matter over till
you and the small offender can have IL
out alone. IL the circumstances are
such that It cannot be passed over take
him out OF the room"
