The questions We're taken up
and disposed of as follows:
No. 1-How can the farmers
and business men of Missouri
Valley cooperate to get watch
man at the Ninth street crossing
at night until 2 O'clock? 1t was
decided to ask for one and the
president appointed the following
committee, Mr. Deur, Mr.. Bessire
and Mr.. Aldridge, to confer with
the Commercial club and see what
could be done.
No. 2-We believe that the
open kettle method of canning
has proved so effective and so
we'll adapted to home conditions
that no woman we'll vcrsed in
that method can afford to expert
ment with new one.
No. 3-We believe that a mini
mum guarantee of $500 for 1918
Ecrop of wheat is unwise unless
the government makes a corre-
spending guarantee on other &C.
reals. We believe this situation
creates danger of an over-pro-
duction OF wheat at the expense
of other grains, which if great
enough would seriously affect
agriculture by disturbing the
balance of crops.
Program for October:
Roll call to be answered by
humorous quotations.
