MAYOR APPEARS
ATCOhI|MERCIM
CLUB MEETING C
Directors Decide to Aid City
in Circulating Tractor
Petitions. !.

A special meeting OF the board Of
directors Of the Commercial club was
called, saturday morning for the .pur-
pose OF placing before the club tho
of purchasing a tractor by. tho
city cou1cil for the purpose of taking
care Of the streets OF the city. 4
The council requested the Com
merc1al club to take charge Of the
circulation Of petitions to ascertain
the sentiment of the people Of the
city relative to such purchase. 1t
was pointed out that this would be
the most democratic way of getting
the view of the citizens as to the ne
cessity and advisability of the ex-
penditure of approximately $4,000 at
this time.
Mayor Wheeler for the council set
forth the condition of traffic after
the recent storm, stating, that II
would have been almost impossible to
have given any adequate protection
to the resident or business section OF
the city in case Of a serious fire. The
mayor also. set forth the ACCESSIBILITY
of an additional tractor for spring
and summer use, at present there be-
ing but one tractor to care for the
streets of the city. The mayor also
been anticipated at the time of the
levy and the making Of the city
budget and therefore there are not
funds on hand for this emergency
and that the only legal way to pro.
coed is by the petition method. u. .
Considerable discussion took place
relative to the economy that should
be practiced at this time and some
opposition to the immediate purchase
was manifest. However it was finally
agreed and a motion to thai efec'
passed by the board of directors o.
the Commercial club that the petition
be sent by the council to each lega
voter in the city requesting him tt
vote either for or against the propo'
sition and to return that vote at thu
earliest possible moment and further
that the Commercial club would un
dertake the circulation of a simila'
petition in case a sufficient numbe'
of signatures were not obtained b!
mail to determine the attitude of tn
voters. n4.
This method was deemed the mos
democratic and most feasible to OBJ
tain an unbiased expression and boil
the council and club urg that eacl
voter make some study of the propo
sition and express himself as soon a
the petition reaches him.

Andrew's4day at a typical Scotch din
,ner, followed by an oratorical, music
al and literary program in which the
Scotch note was dominant and the
scotch "hurr'' was ever present. The
occasion was the annual meeting and
dinner of the st. Andrews society OF
the Red River valley, and the attend
ance was drawn from all parts of the
state.
The dinner was served in the great
dining room of the temple, and the
spread was in every way worthy Of
the occasion. The menu was printed IN
terms Of the broadcast Scotch. and
even some Of those of Scotch origin
required the aid of an interpreter
until the viands themselves made
their appearance, when Interpretation
became an easy and pleasant task. II
was found that roast turkey under the
name of "bubblyjock" tasted just as
good, If not better. but not a few OF
the company tasted real 6 1or

"There is a sort Of q hiatus ir
the thrift campaign, says the
Saturday Evening Post. But
there osght not to be. That cam
paign ought TO 60 right on with
the posters, advertisements,
snappy speeches, and all the in
struments Of appeal to public at
tention. If the nation had 100
to gain by thrift during the war
it has at least Is to gain now.
The appeal should not drop
from 100 to 5 or to 0.

ment became almost the sole APP
plicant for the public 5 savings.

of immense value. The pupils

Other agencies should go on
with the lesson, too. There
ought to be no blank in the con
tinuous, intensive campaign for
thrift. "
The Saturday Evening Post
was founded by Benjamin
Franklin, and voices the senti-
ment of its originator, whose
portrait appears on the face of
the 1919 war savings stamps.
According to the figures made
public at Washington on ex-
penditures in the treasury de-
partment towards raising the
war savings loan, it cost 4,459,-
900 to raise 1884, ,25S,213 in war
savings stamps; so for every
dollar expended to promote the
sales of war savings stamps,
$210 came in.

HOW RELIEF FUND WILL
BE SPENT.

How will the $30,O0O,0O0 col
lected in the Armenian-Sy-
rian Relief campaign be spent
How much of this will go
toward collection and distribu-
ton expenses
In answer to these questions
which have been received con-
cerning the administration of
near eastern relief funds, the
southwestern district office OF
the American committee for re-
lief in the near east has issued
the following statement based
on estimates received from ma
tional committee headquarters
in New York:
''The $30,000,000 asked by the
committee is simply a reduction
to round numbers of a $36,S00,-
600 budget-the lowest possible
sum for carrying on relief and
rehabilitation work for the next
six months. This, in turn, has
been the estimate obtained by
cutting down the original bud
get of $11S,500,OO0, which was
the sum actually needed to do
justice by the stricken peoples
under Turkish rule.
Here is how the $36S 100000
will be spent:
"For feeding 100000 needy
people at $500 per capita for six
months, $14.50O,00O; for repa-
triation of 1.77O,0OO refugees.
