TIE work is estimated to cost $S05.
The otter ordinance provides f)r
an 8-inch sewer on the west side of
Fourth street from Fifth avenue
200 feet north. The estimated cost
is placed at $3.50.
Accept Land Deed.
The commissioners accepted a
deed from the Victor Storage Bat
terry company for certain pieces and
parcels Of land west of the C. B. &
@. railroad tracks and between
Fourth and Sixth avenues in ex-
change for the city's grant to the
company of certain vacations of
parts of streets and avenue in that
vicinity. The need was presented
by Attorney Elmer Stafford, rep
resenting the company.
The exchange of land means that
thc company will obtain certain
small tracts in the neighborhood of
Fifth avenue to add to its plant
site and the city will get land in
return to open up for street pu--
poses that will more closely align
with Sixth avenue.

DECIDE LEGION
MORE ENTITLED
TO old ARM0RY
Commissioners Ask Community
Club With LOO Members to
Vacate Building in 30 Days..

The city commissioner In regu-
lar session yesterday afternoon DE-
cided to let the Rock Island post Of
tn. American Legion have that part
Of the city hall building, generally
known as the old Armory hail. for
post headquarters and the Com
munity club was notified to vacate
the building within 80 days, if pos
sible.
A week ago the legion sent the
commissioners letter stating that
the legion executive board had de-
cided that it would not be possible
for the two organizations to use
the building jointly.
Yesterday Paul Preston, conf
mander Of the post; Ed Dunavin,
c. Dudley Marshall and d. B. Berg
quist, all officials Of the legion, ap-
peared before the commissioners 10
renew the request for the building.
w. N. Ralston, secretary Of the
Community club, presented tie
clubs case He said that the cluo
had expended $4,000 on permanent
improvements to the building since
entering it July /, 1918, and would
lose this if compelled to move.
This money was spent in painting
and redecorating both the exterior
and interior of the building, con-
structing stage in the big hall on
the first floor and making other i'm
provements. In addition the cluD
has about $1,000 worth of furni-
ture in the building, mostly on the
second floor where various club
rooms are located.
He said that the club has 1.1Jo
members and gives 30 day free
membership cards to all returned
soldiers. He asserted that he did
not know where other quarters
could be obtained and that col-
munity service work is just begin
ming. although the war is ended.
1.-THE club furnishes fine op-
portunity for working men and
some business men to find recre1-
tion.' he said. I'VE need such a
club in Rock Island. The bigger
business men have the Rock Islahd
club to so to, and the working men
should have the community club.
Mr.. Ralston said that the club
does not intend to oppose re
American Legion, but wanted ~
do all possible to aid the legion.
He said that the legion had been
offered use of the big meeting hail
free Of charge and use Of the club
rooms for 50 cents a month dues
for each member, the same as
charged club members. while the
legion members would not be
charged the initiation fee.
Not Desirable.
Mr.. Preston. speaking for the
legion. said that the executive
board had thoroughly discussed the
matter and had decided that II
would not be desirable for two or.
lanizatiors to occupy the club
rooms jointly, but the legion woull

be glad to let the Community club
usa the big hall for dances or SINH
lar purposes in case the club coull
not find full quarters elsewhere.
The legion now has approximate
ly 325 members and the committee
stated that 1t desires to get quar-
tiers as soon as possible.

Treasury Recommends.

Washington:- Payment of sal
aries or wages in part in Thrift
Stamps or War Savings Stamps
is not approved by the Treasury
Department. While those in
charge Of selling Stamps will do
everything possible to encourage
individuals to purchase them, the
Treasury wants the purchase to
be a free will action on the part
of the individual because he is
convinced of it's benefit to him.
The Treasury officials point out
that where employers have paid
their help in part in Thrift
Stamps, many of the workers re-
garded it as an actual reduction
in wages. Still others, although
they wished the Stamps, never
theless regarded payment of
wages in other than money as an
unwarranted interference with
their rights and the wage scale.
Others resented the practice, did

That War Work Pledge.

With peace terms about to be made,
boys in the camps in this country being
discharged at the rate of $4,000 a day,
war contracts being cancelled and ship
loads of wounded and sick men with a
springling of artillery and aviation units
returning from lover there" the average
person is prone to believe that the war
is over as far as they are concerned and
that it is now possible to get back into
the old way of living. This is mistake
and if followed out by Americas citizenry
would result disastrously to many meas.
ures that are as necessary today and the
days to come as they were during the
time of actual fighting. The government
is going to have another bond sale; War
Savings Stamps will be continued to be
sold. Taxes will remain high for num-
Der of years to come. 1t costs money to
get the boys home, to finish the ship
building program, to get back to a peace
time basis.
And the work of the seven welfare or.
CARNATIONS who cooperated in the recent
United War Work drive has become
greatly emphasized with the cessation Of
fighting ard has had to be expanded to
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1919-01-16

meet the new requirements and condi-
tons which peace, cause of anxiety and
impatience of the boys for home, cause
of the relaxation of discipline leaving the
boys with time hanging heavy on their
hands, cause of the natural tendency to
'1et go" after the months of tension. To
meet the expansion in the educational,
social and physical program planned and
now under way these organizations need
money. They not only need the support
you have promised them on your pledge
cards but they need the actual cash now
to carry on their arged program.
Richmond county people did well in the
United War Work Campaign. Of the
amount subscribed $500 was in cash
and $500 in pledges. All of those who
possibly can do so at this time are urged
to pay up on the pledges made. The
boys need your money now.

"Food Saving and Sharing"

Raleigh Jan. 18th. In cooperation with
the office of the State Superintendent of
Education, the Food Administration has
begun the distribution of 10000 text
books. FOOD SAVING AND SHARING, J"
to the teachers in North Carolina under
High School grades. The new book,
which was prepared by Food Admins
tration experts at Washington, has tie
hearty approval of retiring Superintend-
ent ]. Y. Joyner, and State Superintend-
ent E. c. Brooks. In addition to teachers
the new book is being sent to all Home
Demonstration Agents, Farm Demonstra-
ton Agents and County Food Admins
traitors.
The new text book is expected to pro-
mote and perpetuate the gospel of thrift,
the intelligent balancing of the human
diet the knowledge of the composition
of and comparative value of different
food stuffs, and the economical and eff
Gent preservation and utilization of per-
ishable food products.

not save the Stamps and simply
resold them, so that no lesson of
thrift was taught and the govern
ment was not benefited.
The Treasury Department is
recommending to employers that
the best method of teaching thrift
and inducing their employees to
buy is to make Stamps readily
accessible for purchase at their
works on pay day. In many
concerns where the sales of War
Savings Stamps have been large
and regular, supplies of Stamps
have been furnished to foremen
or others who at lunch time sold
to those who wished to buy. The
most effective of all measures,
however, have been the Savings
Societies established in some
$4,000 places by the employees
themselves. Each Society ap-
points one of its number as Sec
rotary. One of his functions is
to get supplies of Stamps and
have them ready for sale.
