11REE HENS AND GOBBlEE

Jess Wagner, Surrey farmer, raised
60 fine turkeys this year from three
hens and one gobbler. He marked 40
of these turkeys in Minot, Tuesday.
selling them all dressed and ready for
the oven for 40 cents a pound: The 40
turkeys brot him $135. He has Is tur-.
keys left which he will sell around
Christmas time. The turkeys cost him
very little money as he fed them only
two weeks prior to marketing them.
They lived during the summer mainly
on grasshoppers. He estimates that the
original four turkeys will have brot him
fully 5000 in the one season by the time
he markets the entire flock. Mr. Wag-
ner said he made more money from the
original four turkeys than he did from

Association Of Commerce and Rotary
Club Committees to Confer With
Police Commissioner Bowker
Suggest Salary of $3.50
Month.

A committee of a dozen business
and professional men, representing
the Association of Commerce and Nthe
Rotary club, headed by Henry M. Will
son, president of the Association Of
Commerce and DR.. Archie d. McCan-
mel, president of the Minot Rotary
club, met with the Minot City Com
mission Monday afternoon and offered
their assistance in the selection Of q
chief of police to take the place of
Chief Lano whose resignation was ac-
c0pted that day. The committee ex-
planned that inasmuch as Minot has
received some very unfavorable pub
licity thru the press dispatches, they
desired to be of whatever assistance
they could in removing any reason for
such reports that cannot help but
prove harmful to our city. They are
even more anxious to be of assistance
in removing from the city any ele-
ments of lawlessness and suggested
that in selecting new chief OF police,
care should be taken in getting the
very best man available even tho ii
might be necessary to pay more
money. The present salary for the
chief of police is $3.50 per month. The
committee suggested that it might be
we'll to increase this salary to $3.50 a
month if necessary to get just the
Kind of a man needed. The committee
advocates more pay
Commissioner Malm stated that he
appreciated the interest the commit
tee took in the matter and he was
glad of their support. Police Commis-
sioner Bowker stated that he welcomed
the assistance of these organizations.
Commissioner Shaft also said he was
heartily in favor of accepting their
help and President Shaw suggested
that some member of the board make
a motion that the Association of Com
merce and Rotary club appoint COM
mittees to work in conjunction with
the Police Commissioner in selecting
a new chief Of police. This was done
and all members of the board voted
for it. The Commission then gave the
committee vote Of thanks for the
interest shown.
CITY Attorney Wooledge stated that
it might. be necessary for the business
men to assist in paying the additional
salary suggested, inasmuch as that
day he had learned that the city OF
Minot had received notice from the
county auditor that it's levy for the
coming year had been cut 100000.

DISBURSEMENTS
COMMUNITY CHEST
1919-192O

and to make it possible for the as
sociations engaged in relief work to
continue doing good, the drive for
the Community Chest has been launch
ed. If we cannot devote our time
to visiting the sick or administering
to those in need, let us all take a
hand that those who are willing and
able to do so may more effectually
carry on the good work.
Organized Charity Work
The drive for the Community Chest
is really a combined drive for the
benefit Of various worthy organiza-
tions, and it is a step towards put
ting charity work on scientific basis.
1t is not to be expected that all local
charity work for the year shall be
combined in this drive, nor that after
this drive is over everybody shall be
done with charity" for at least
twelve months. This is not the Oh
ject, but there are certain advantages
in the method we have adopted and
these | wish to explain briefly.
Whatever accumulates in the Com
munty Chest as a result Of this drive
will be divided among several organic
ations, namely: the Associated Char
Iities of Minot, and the local branches
of the Salvation Army and the Y. w.
C. A. To these goes the major portion
of the contents of the chest, but part
to the State Orphans Home and the
Crittendcn Home, both located in Far
go. The Y. w. c. A. is not wholly
supported by charity, but it is gen
orally recognized that this organiza
ton fills real want in modern city
life and has in itself possibilities for
valuable service, and has therefore
been made one Of the beneficiaries. 1t
is not necessary to dwell upon the
merits Of any of the organiza tons to
receive benefit as these are already
web known to everyone.
Y It should be plain to all that there
are advantages in this method OF a
combined drive for the benefit Of these
organiza tions Of assistance and relief
1t does not require much Of a business
mind to comprehend the advantages
of one big, combined drive over a
number of minor drives. 1t is plain
ly matter Of convenience, efficiency
and economy, and there can be no OPP
position to any of the organizations

method should appeal to every citizen
Of Minot, as it will dispose Of the bulk
Of charity donations for year. Each
donator, whenever approached for a
"hand- out" can conscientiously de-
cline, having done his share. Those
in need of help who are here or may
come to the city should be referred
to the committee in charge of the
! Associated Charities. and the case
decided upon it's merits, "to every
worthy cause according to its need .
If the applicant is found to be de-
serving and the Association is in posi-
ton to render financial assistance, an
allotment will be made, and if found
unworthy he will be refused. Each
case will be decided upon it's merits
the right way. In no case will beg
gng on the streets, at private houses
or in business places in Minot be JUS
tilted.
Another feature ! might mention is
the common way Of circulating sub
scription lists for an endless variety
of purposes, varying to great extent

en-. Manager Will Dodds was in the

tive of the Independent stated that a
couple Of suspicious parties were OBJ
served about the Foxholm pool hall on
the day prior to the robbery and this
taken in connection with the fact chat
a screw driver belonging to the light
ing plant at the pool hall would lend
color to the theory that these parties
had something to do with the robbery
but as yet they have nothing but this
bit of circum stantial evidence that
these men were implicated.

SOUTHERN COLLEGE WAS
ALLOTTED $500, 900 BY GER
ERAL EDUCATION BOARD
President Alderman Successful In
Securing Twice the Amount Origt-
nally Intended.
(By Sarah Peek.)

Sutherland, March 11.--President
r. H. Alderman Of Southern College
has Just returned from the annual
session of the General Education
Board Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, which met in Nash
Vile, with the gratifying announce
ment that the educational allotment
for Southern College under the gem
eral campaign that is being inaugu-
rated by the Board Is to be 100000.
The pledging Of this allotment serves
not only to insure an endowment for
the college, but also to raise It to the
h-class, or first class, Of colleges OF
the kind under the control Of the
board.
In accordance with the original al
lotment of the board, the college was
to receive only $250,00O. When Pres
ident Alderman learned this after his
arrival in Nashville, he at once took
advantage of the opportunity offered
at the session for each OF the col
leges to be heard. So powerful and
so convincing were the arguments hs
presented to the board, that the al
lotment arranged for Southern Col
lege was doubled, making It q hal
million instead of quarter-milliol
f., dollars.
1t Is planned for the States Il
which the colleges that are beneftte'
by the fund are situated to raise tn
sums allotted = by the board. Thi
means that the Methodists Of Florid
are expected In the next five years I
raise this amount for the purpose q
clearing all Indebtedness from South
ern College. to secure all necessar
repairs and additions to the colleg
buildings, and to provide for pen
manent endowment. 1t Is the beli'
:, OF President Alderman that this ca
be done, for this is a time when tt
church Is interested in and Is r.
spending to the demands OF I
schools as never before.
