When the president. Mrs. Fawcett,
called the meeting of the Ten Thou
sand Club to order Thursday after
noon. there was almost full mem
bership resent Also many visitors.
| One associate member was admitted
and two new applications read. Mrs.
Seymour, president of the County
Federation, urged all members who
could possibly do so to attend the
meeting to be herd at Brawley, Feb
ruary ,. The following delegates
were selected to represent the Ten

mittee and Miss Beeman spoke of the
window display at the Farm Bureau.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Beeman,
this display of wheat substitutes was
arranged and donated by the Globe
Mills, and the cooking was done by
the pupils of the High School under
the direction of Miss Margaret Ran
ldall, home economics chairman of The
County Council of Defense and do
mestic science teacher of the High
School. Mrs. Fawcett then asked the
Iattention of the club for a few min
utes, saying she wanted to bring a
matter of business Importance before
the club. She went back in club his
tory little, telling how in more pros
porous times than now, when every
body had visions of greater Ell Cen
tro, the club by an almost unanimous
vote decided the lots owned by the
club on State street were too near
the business part of the city for a
club house, and bought other lots,
hoping to sci 1.-The first property TO
pay for them. However, soon after
this was done, real estate values de-
preciated and the lots could not be
sold to advantage. In order to carry
the notes on the new property money
had to be borrowed, thereby putting
the club in debt. She said this debt
had been carried in very creditable
manner, there being no time when
the club did not manage to take care
of the interest and taxes, but she said
lat this time the debt was handicap.

Of directors, had outlined plan
which, if it met with the approval
of the members, might pay off the
debt and get rid of this obligation.
The plan was to group the members
into ten committees of twenty men,
bers each, and each committee to raise

 Washington, Sept. 16.-Addi- tional orders effecting the pub fishing of newspapers were an- nounced today by Chairman Bar uch of the war industries board, to bring about further saving of print paper.

Keokuk, Iowa, as Mississip- pi River Crossing Point
 Is Thought Plan.
CONNECTIONS OF
 EXISTING LINES
Giving an Interrupted Pas. sage East to West Thru
 Central Section.

By The Associated Press.
 keokuk, Iowa, Sept. 16.-Establish- ment of direct transcontinental rail. route from eastern ports to the Mis- souri river and western may result from government control of railroads, with Keokuk as the Mississippi river crossing point.
 William G. McAdoo, director gener- al of railroads, has been urged by many cities along the proposed route to affect the necessary connection of existing lines, making possible an uninterrupted passage from Logans- port, Ind, to Omaha or Lincoln, Neb.
 The proposed route would lie about a midway between Chicago and St Louis, passing from Logansport te Peoria and thence to Hamilton, Ill. ever the Mississippi to Keokuk and westward through northern Missouri and southern Iowa into Nebraska.
 Judge Felix T. Hughes of Keokuk counsel for those advocating the new line, has just returned from Washing. ton, where he laid the matter before Director General McAdco.
 "I discovered" he said "that only two roads, the 5. & O., and the Penn sylvania, can bring car through from Washington, Baltimore or Philadel. phia to the Mississippi river, and they must tranship at the Mississippi gate way to get it farther west, for there are no though routes from the east to the Missouri river.
 Our proposed line would carry : car direct from the eastern seaports te Lincoln Neb., and what is more i'm portant, could carry it and troop trains from Lincoln and Omoha direct to tn, seaboard, which is simply impossible now"
 ] The suggested route from Logans port would be over the Pennsylvani; railroad and over the line of the Tole do, Peoria & Western railroad to Peo ria, thence over that line to Hamilton Ill.,, where the mississippi river woult be crossed, on the existing new rail road brides to Keokuk.
 From Koekuk, the Keokuk & West ern division of the Chicago, Burling ton & Quincy railroad would be used through Missouri cities including Koekuk and Memphis, and Iowa citie including Centerville, Humeston, Clar inda and Shenandoah.
 l Two routes would be possible iron Shenandoah, either by the Wabash O Burlington road to Omaha or to Lin coin, Neb., by way of Hamburg, la crossing the Missouri river at Nebras ka City by the Burlington bridge where it was pointed out, ''that cross ing is not so congested as at Omaha.
 At Lincoln or Omaha connection could be effected with lines to tn Pacific coast completing transcon l tinental route of less mileage thai any other now existing, it was declar ed.
 The lines referred to are said to b "in fairly good condition," capable o carrying their capacity in freight an passengers as safely as other road while improvements would, of course enlarge their abilities"

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 16.-J. A. Rountree, secretary of the Bankhead National Highway, after two weeks tour through North Carolina and Virginia inspecting branch routes of the Bankhead National Highway in those states and also visiting Wash ington in the interest of the Bank head Highway, returned home Sat- urday morning full of enthusiasm over the prospects of the highway being taken every by the government as a military road, traversing from Washington to Los Angeles, Cal.

Bennehan Cameron of North Carolina and tra- versed the military branch of the highway from Williamstown, N. C., to Raleigh, Henderson and to Nor folk, Va. They also inspected the naval branch from Norfolk to Peters burg. The pathfinding party was most cordially received and an ova- tion rendered them at various towns and cities through which they pas sed. The pathfinders were delighted with the attentions accorded them and the branch routes which they in- specte.
 After the pathfinding trip Secre- tary Roundtree, accompanied by a strong delegation, composed of lead ing good roads advocates, went to Washington for the purpose of induc- ing the government to pass the tephens-Bankhead military road bill to take over the Bankhead National Highway. which traverses from Washington to Los Angeles as a mil- tary highway. The committee ap- peared before Senator John M. Bank head, chairman postoffice and post post roads committee, Senator F. H. Simmons, chairman committee on ap- propriations, Senator Chamberlain, chairman senate military committee, l Congressman Dent, chairman of the military affairs of the House.
