A GYMNASIUM-AUDITORIUM.

| 1t is a fact that cannot be reason
ably disputed that this town, or any
town of like size, needs public build
ing for auditorium purposes. An in
vitation to speak which might be ex-
tended to some public official would
result in the arrangement with the
manager of the local theater for his
house and every one knows that that
would cost money The theater man
ager is in business the same as mer-
chant is in business and it i to be ex-
pected that he charge for the use of
his place.
The Electric was at one time used
for public meetings but that is nc
longer practicable since the rearrang-
ing of the building and the elimina-
ton of the stage. Then where is this
community to have public meetings
addresses Of public welfare, lyceum
courses, high school plays, high school
entertainments commencement exer-
cises and scores of other meetings of
general interest to all citizens? The
only answer to this question is in
public auditorium.
After the public has once enjoyed
the privileges Of this kind of a place
there isn't one tax payer in a hundred
who would be sorry Of such step
Commencement exercises alone in our
school has been costing a large sum
in rental simply becaue the public
has not provided suitable place in
it's school system. The high school
play given only a week ago cost the
school authorities more than hun
ored dollars hall rents simply because
the public has not provided a suitable
place for such things in the school
system. Other instances could be
mentioned but it is not necessary. The
school system wants a gymnasium
auditorium and we believe the tax
payers of the county and district will
consider the cost very small in pro \
portion to the return of future years.
No argument need be advanced for
the benefit to the children of care
fully supervised and we'll regulated
physical training. In fact the neces-
sity for schools may soon become a
federal law. Within the last week in
congress bill has been introduced
making course in physical training
compulsory for boys and girls between
the ages OF and 16 years. Read the
following

ASKS TEN MILLIONS
TO FIGHT PLAGUE
Monterey Wants Mexico to
Adopt Large Program Of
Sanitary Improvement.
by LOUIS T.. KIRBY.

MENICO CITY, Mexico, Nov. GO
The Monterey Chamber of Commerce
wants Mexico to spend S10,000,00O in
sanitary work which will prevent
future danger from yellow fever in
Vera cruz, Tampico, and other places.
Monterey is out of the fever belt,
but the business of that city has been
seriously affected by the yellow fever
scare.
Business men living in Tampico say
that the chief stumbling block in the
way OF proper sanitation and other
improvements is the greed of politi.
clans. Recently the oil companies
proposed to pave certain streets at
ishcd to hear that the politicians
'"ont ID $4,000 for granting this priv
ilege.
There has been talk OF constructing
"A great water system which would
bring pure mountain water to Tam
rico. Such system would be a
blessing to Tampico in ages TO come.
when oil Is forgotten, but politicians
have stood in the way because they
could not sec what they were to- gain
through such a splendid public spirit
ed undertaking.
'"Tampico would do great things
now said one business man. There
Us great wealth there and the men
who hold this wealth are willing TO
spend part OF II in the Improvement

1 companies, IL is said, would be glad
to unite in some undertaking to bring
nm ample supply OF pure water to the
Tampico section
