BOND BUYERS
ROLL OF HONOR
THE PRODUCERS NEWS WILL
PRINT THE NAMES OF ALL
PURCHASERS IN PLENTY
WOOD.

The Producers News expects that
Liberty bonds will be sold in every
home in town. Uncle Sam has aD-
portioned to us the neat little sim Of
$4,000, and We are going to buy
that much and more.
Every person who buys all the
bonds he OF she can is doing a real
"bit" toward defeating the kaiser,
and entitled to the credit Of doing It.
Their names should have a place on
the Plentywood roll of honor, and
The Producers News proposes to put
them there.
While we are confident every home
in this community win be represent
ed by at least one name in this rpl
Of honor, We are in hopes that for
very many Of the homes the name
of each member Of the family will De
included in the list. We should like
to see this roll Of honor contain the
names Of every man and woman, ev-
cry boy and girl in Plentywood.
This roll Of honor will be printed
in The Producers News, and the only
way to get on it is to buy at lea9s
one bond. We do rot. propose to
print the amount Of bonds you buy,
because that would be unfair to thos-
who can buy only a small amount,
and the person who can only affora
and does buy one $50 bond is entitled
to just as much credit as the person
who can afford to and does buy q
much larger amount.
The name Of every real, 100 pc
cent American-and The Producers
News believes all Of the people o.
Plentywood are that-wiu be found
in this Plentywood roll Of honor buy
ers.
Beginning with the first issue al
ter the sale of bonds opens The Pro
ducers News viii begin printing the
names Of purchasers, giving in that
edition all names that have been re.
ported to the sales director up to the
day before the paper is issued Each
following issue Will contain addition
al names Of purchasers, and this win
be continued up to the time the sale
closes and the names Of all purchas-
eIs have been printed.

the city, but if ne had known what
 Members of the union showed a lively interest and asked the coun- cilmen a number of questions, es- pecially about a proposed fishing float and what could be done to re- duce the price of coal One man said that the decision of several hundred working men hung on hair whether they would remain or go elsewhere, owing to increased cost of living conditions, and he thought if price of coal or any other commod- ity, it was a very important matter touching upon the welfare of the town. The chairman said that the trouble with the council seemed to be over appointments and that they ought to be able to come to some agreement and allow the business of the city to proceed. Another mem Der thought since the Mayor had promised to reduce the price of coal he should be given chance by ap- pointing a man as wharfinger in har- mony with him, and then if the man was incompetent, he could be remov- ed by the council, and the blame of not getting cheaper coal would then rest solely upon the shoulders of the Mayor. Another still said that the main purpose of the meeting was | to bring about harmony, if possible, and if there were any personal diff | ferences among the members of the council these should be sacrificed ', for the common good of the city.
 In conclusion the members of the Union gave unanimous vote of thanks to the Mayor and councilmen for attending, and there seemed to i be a general feeling that when the council holds it's next meeting that progress will be made.

The famous leaning Virgin" at the top of the Albert Cathedral, now behind the German lines, was shot down by German artillery, says a despatch from British Headquarters in France to Reuters Limited. When the Huns poured down through France in August, 1914, French cathedrals were the especial objects of their artillery. Before they took Albert their shells had riddIed the ancient cathedral there. One shell bit the base of the statue of the Virgin, which surmounted the spire, and it toppled over. but did not fall from the pedestal. It was carefully guarded by the town resi- dents to prevent any one from sev- ering the supports that held the statue In its odd position, and some even were so devout in their belief that they welcomed the recent ad- vance of the Germans, as they be- lleved the Huns would shoot the Virgin down and thus end the war.

COUNCIL IN SESSION WITH
 LABOR UNION All Express Themselves as Anxious to See the
 Price of Coal
 Reduced Here. QUESTIONS ARE ASKED Members of Union Show a Lively Interest in All
 That Pertains to
 the City.

As the result of the meeting last evening between members of the city council and of the Alaska La bor Union there is reason to believe that progressive action will be taken at the next meeting of the city coun- cil
 E. M. Polly was chairman of the meeting of the Union.
 Present were Mayor Emery Val entine and Councilmen Peter Carl son. J. H. Montgomery, Charles Han sen, Gunnar Blomgren and Nels Sor The Mayor and each councilman ex- pressed himself as being in favor of doing all in his power to reduce the present price of coal and to work for the best interests of the city and for living conditions.
 Owing to the fact that there had been no business meeting of the council save one, since election, the Alaska Labor Union at a previous meeting appointed a committee to confer with the councilmen, invite them to attend a meeting, and see if it was possible to find some solu- tion so that the business of the city would not be longer neglected
 The Mayor recited the history of different administrations in Juneau and claimed that coal could be sold at the city dock for $9 per ton. He declared that he was powerless to on which he was elected unless he could have appointed in office men who would work in harmony with him; that last year he was told by the city wharfinger, for instance, to go to hades, and he wanted a mar there whom he could depend upon to look after the coal business in the interests of the people. He ac- cused Councilman Hansen of going back on his election pledges.
 MT. Hansen replied by saying that so far no meeting had been held for making appointments, at which there was quorum and that no one had a right to say that he would go back on his pledges until he was given chance to vote; that he would vote according to what he thought best for conserving the interests of the city.
 secured prices on coal and that it cost laid down at the dock $9.75 per ton. He said the city ought to | charge enough for handling or else the difference would come out of the people in the shape of taxes. He declared that he had acted always | for what he considered the best in | terests of the city and was willing to continue to do so. He thought | however, when competent men were in office they should be kept on the 1 job.
 Councilman Montgomery said he | was willing to do all in his power 1 to secure cheaper coal for the citi zens or whatever would advance the interests of the city, but that he did not intend to cast his vote on any proposition until he was shown. He declared that he made use of his own mind and had to be convinced that thing was right before he would vote for it, and that when he was so convinced he would stand | for it regardless of what others 1 thought.
 Councilman Carlson said that he consented to run in the hopes that he could prove of some benefit to
