Commercial Club was doing. This
fellow never did thing for the
city during his thirty years resi-
dence here except to earn a living
for himself and family, never be
longed to the Commercial Club or
endeavored to aid any of the worthy
projects which the Club has under
taken, yet he was one of the first to
find fault with the institution. We
advised him to join the Club where
he could express his ideas direct to

WINS. }. |. MEETING PROVES GREAT GET-T0GETHER
 SUCCESS

(COntlnued from First Page) enough support is secured. He asks $200 in cash or one hun dred subscriptions for his book at $3.5O per volume.
 MT. James is a writer of na- tional reputation and it would undoubtedly be great adver. tisement for Williams to have a chapter III the book. The matter was left with the Exec utive committee for further consideration, and if they find way of raising the funds or securing the subscriptions, the offer will be accepted.
 The matter of publicity for the advertisement and upbuild- ing of Williams was taken un- der consideration. It was the sense of the meeting that this is one of the most important works that the organization may undertake. Suggestions were made for the placing of large advertising bill board at the depot, for the prepara- ton of booster stationery and the issuing of a pamphlet for the advertisement of the town. The pamphlet could be used to good advantage in an- swering inquiries about the town, and would be more eff fective than letter could be.
 After a general discussion, the matter was brot to a head by the appointment of a pub licity committee to take charge of the matter and see that the advertising is prepared. The appointment of the committee was left in the hands of the Chair. The following commit tee was appointed:
 E. J. Nordyke, Chairman, E. A. Miller, c. w. Elliott, R. c. Wente and Ed Johnson, mem- bers.
 The matter of entertaining the Ell Paso Commercial Clubs special delegation which is to stop here, was disposed of by instructing the Chair to ap- point an entertainment commit tee to have charge of arrange ments for entertaining the wis itors.
 After a general discussion of various other subjects of lesser importance, the meeting ad- iourned.

PEOPLES FORUM
The Collection of Waste Paper

The Collection of Waste Paper
 Owing to the shortage of waste paper and old rags, the paper manufactures have sent out an urgent appeal to the residents of this country, for the paper and old rags that are usually burned or wasted.
 Formerly, the manufacturers depended on the cargoes brot from Europe to supply the de- mand. As this source is not available at present, they must seek assistance elsewhere. There is sufficient waste paper and rags in this country. to sup ply the demand. It is only necessary to collect and send to the nearest market.
 Newspapers should be fold ed in quarter-page size and a pile a foot high securely tied. Magazines are tied in packages of the same height. Other pa pers can be folded and packed in sacks or boxes. When a box is full, empty it and tie the con- tents.
 Our town would be heater if no waste papers were seen up- on the streets or in back yards. It would do much to eliminate the danger of fire, from the ac- cidental meeting of lighted match or cigar, with waste pa per.
 We do not realize all the uses of paper, or the inconvenience of having it's supply curtailed, if it's prices continueto increase. By assisting in this movement we will help to keep the price stationary, if not to reduce it and that will be only one way in which we will be benefited:
 Arrangements are being made for the collection of waste paper and rags and we hope that the residents of Will Hams will save all waste paper and rags until called for.

Sl5O,OOO DONATED BY HAWAII TO
relief WORK since WAR STARTED

out the territory for funds to assist
primarily the American Red Cross.
Methods Employed
Two methods win at present be
used. first the subscription to the War
Relief Committee and, second, joining
directly the American Red Cross as
members at large. Subscriptions made
to the War Relief Committee will be
forwarded to the American Red Cross
in Washington unless some unforeseen
emergency occurs. For instance, when
cur own people from this territory are
In France-and firmly believe that
day is not far distant-it Is quite con-
ceivable that there may be actual suf-
fertng among families here, so that
some relief work may be necessary
at home. But for the present subscrip-
tions go direct to Washington To
actively canvass for members In the
American Red Cross the committee
has wired for 10000 membership ap-
plication blanks. It Is hoped to- carry
| on. this campaign among all nationaIi-
ties. The committee, at the recon-
mendation of General Strong and Col.
Ebert, have written the American RED
Cross asking its advice as to the ad-
visibility of the formation of a local
chapter here, and requesting definite
recommendations as to the best
method for carrying on relief work
here.
Before the reply comes, however
| there is no reason that the good work
should not go on. Subscriptions in
any and all amounts will be gladly re-
| ceived, either to the War Relief Com.
! mittee, by way of membership in the
American Red Cross, or for any other
specific purpose named by the donor
People who can afford only to give 81
or less are Just as welcome as any one
else, and there should not be the slight
est hesitancy In giving a small amount
when the person honestly can not at
ford more. The committee is forward
ing every cent without any expense
all work being voluntary, and neces
sary expenses, such as stationery, etc.
being subscribed by members of the
committee.
The work carried on by the Wa,
Relief Committee should not, and is not
intended to conflict with the work OF
any other organization in the city
Particularly is this so OF the ladies
who are giving so much of their time
and labor in the makinga up of wal
supplies. The active interest showr
by them is splendid and under no cir
cumstances should cease.
But there are many people in the
territory who are doing nothing. The
Canadian War Relief Committee,
think, sends out little cards Serve oil
Pay and that is what Hawaii mus;
come to. This has resulted In the col
lection of some $4,000, 900. II one
can not serve he can at least pay in
what he can afford, by that means MOI
only doing his bit to aTlay suffering
but taking a keener and more active
