 gar for Danielson. Since the first O
 the month it has been easier for deal. , CTS to get sugar. Some has been re ; ceived here and much more is ordered and will soon be on the way Church choirs here will engage dur,

WAR CONVENTION
HELD IN SPOKANE
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN I'M
/. PORTANT MEETING TO DIS
CUSS WAR MEASURES

SPOKANE-Extend discussions,
embracing every variety of war ac-
tivity, in which every community is
interested, featured the two-days con-
ference held in Spokane this week,
and known as the "War Workers
Council" The sessions began early
Monday morning and required two
days and big mass meeting at night
to conclude. There was large rep
resentation of outside communities.
Each sectional gathering and mass
assembly was addressed by speakers
of international prominence, includ-
ing Lieut.. Paul Perogord of the
French army, George B. Chandler Of
the National Council of Defense, and
Guy S. Ford representing the nat
ional committee on public informa-
tion.
The keynote of the convention was
the earnestness evidenced on all sides.
The men and women who assembled
to discuss war problems of mutual
interest were sincere, thoughtful peo-
pie who apparently had but one big
idea in mind, to give and receive all
of the information possible during
the two days and to carry home les
sons which should be Of value to the
communities represented. Similar
meetings will be held as often as is
deemed advisable. All of the dele
gates expressed the hops that the
conventions would be continued be-
cause of their practical usefulness.
