 AND HELP IN WORK.
Announcement from Tabernacle Last Night and Rotary Club Win Ad- 1ourn Early Today to Help in Movement.


 every person may assist in the task of removing the snow and ice from entral avenue and other important business streets, and to get the side walks cleared, was asked of the peo- pie yesterday after a conference be- tween business men who regarded it as essential Co the success of the sea son that this be done
 An announcement to this effect was made from the tabernacle last night and today the Rotary Club will have its Wednesday luncheon early in or der that the members will be able to take part in the work.
 Every business man is asked not alone 10 close his place. but also to get shovel or a rake or hatchet or some other instrument and help in the work was the announcement made yesterday An interesting phase of the situation was that several of the practical ministers of the city took an enthusiastic part in the meet ing, and declared that they would help arouse interest in the movement and contribute their part to the work.
 Central avenue is so filled with snow now that it would perhaps be weeks before il passed away under normal conditions Other side streets as essential to business, are also in .a Rs s,g q ice Tine sidewalks are dangerous for visitors 10 get out on and particularly those who must get to their baths every mornine, and who are not physically able to cope with icy side walks
 It was for these reasons particu- lally and that the effect of the ice and snow here would have a retardine effect on the season. that the half holiday was declared and the people of all walks asked 10 help with their teams, their employees, and themselves in ridding Hot Springs of the worst snow storm it has eyer had in history.
