INTO THE TWO BIT CLUB
Patriotic Organizations Being Formed

The latest and perhaps the most
unique club organized is the "Two-Bit
Club OF the United States. The slo-
gan OF the "Two-Bit Club is: Have
you done your two bits?9
The two bits" which the members
are pledged to are the saving of 25
cents each day through personal sac
ritice, in order to buy a Thrift Stamp
daily, and the helping Of Uncle Sam
TO win his biggest war
This organization was formed on o
Southern passenger train by passen-
gers en- route to Dallas from New Or
leans. w. G. Funck of Dallas was the
originator and was made secretary
and treasurer by the % charter mem
hers.
The following pledge is necessary
to take in order to become a member:
1--WE, the undersigned, do hereby
pledge ourselves to daily make a per-
sonal sacrifice that will permit rs to
purchase one 25-oent Thrift Stamp
each day, or its equivalent. which we
agree to purchase for a period of one

An initiation zee Of 10 cents is
charged members in order that they
may bc provided with buttons and a

Nights Still.
Lightless In
Grand Forks
State and City Authorities Have Not
Yet Turned on All the Street Lights
OF the City-No Official Order
Given.

Ever since Saturday of last week it
has been publicly announced that the
lightless nights arrangement, in force
here for about a year, was abolished
in consequence Of an order received
from the federal fuel administrator
for North Dakota-and still the
streets have continued to be as dark
as ever.
The Red River Power company had
served notice Upon the city that
everything was in readiness for the
complete illumination of the streets,
but beyond thai nothing seems to
have been done.
r. 3. Griffith. fuel administrator for
Grand Forks district, said yesterday
afternoon:
The order to abolish the arrange
ment is official, and the matter is now
UP to the city"
City Auditor W. H. Alexander said to-
day that the city has not been mott
fed to the effect hat all lights could
be turned on, and that the streets
would remain dark until an official
order was received from the district
fuel administrator from whom the
original order to turn the lights off,
was received last year.
When told about this attitude, Mr..
Griffith today said:
THE order has been published, and
that ought to be enough. The city
officials certainly know OF the ex-
istence Of the new order. However,
shall call the auditor on the telephone
and serve motive upon him."
Shortly after 3 o'clock this after
noon the city was still without official
notification, and there the matter
rests for the time being.

German Gas Mask
Sent To City BY
Maurice GirQrd

A German mask has been sent by
Maurice Girard to his father, Paul
Girard of this city. and may be seen
at the Girard jewelry store on Fourth
street.
The mask is made of flexible hide.
Two large holes for the eyes. pro-
tected on the inside by a metal frame.
are cut in the center Of the mask. AT
the bottom, as at the bottom of a
lantern, is a round fat can. This
contains the carbon and neutral;zer.
When unscrewed, a layer OF material
resembling asbestos lies underneath a
screen protection. Next to this is a
device which when ready for use con-
tains a chemical substance.
Each is shellacked and masks
were said to be examined at intervals
to note the least defect, as the slight
est hole may cause death to the
wearer Of the mask. Heavy rubber
straps fit over the back of the head
and the weight Of the mask is about
three pounds.
A tin can about the size Of an ordi-
nary coffee can is carried by means
Of a long strap and into this the gas
mask is put when not in use. On the
cove of the can are extra glasses
which are to be used when needed.
Mr.. Girard sent a little note on the
Of one of these, telling that a
substance to prevent blurring of the
glasses Is used. Four extra lenses
come with each mask.
On the bottom Of the mask is writ
ten the name "Gef Bourst, ~ K"
h name was also on the outside
box.
1t is probable that the mask was
obtained from a German prisoner.
Maurice Girard is a member of the
intelligence section and left here in
January. He has had many interest
ing experiences while on active serv-

At the regular meeting of the city

The council also decided by a vote

that the uniform vas not purchased

A petition from the Grand Forks
Foundry for permission to build a dis

the intersection of Third street and
International avenue, was turned over

that the city water is meeting the
requirements of the U. S. public

Bills to the amount Of $~5,349.6S

AS it was assumed that the vice
president automatically takes the
place of the president in the case of
the latter going out of office during
