ASSURED-THE VOTE

The result of the water bond cleo
tion held last Saturday was quite de-
cisive. While the registration for
the election was light, about IS per
cent of those registered voted.
When the bonds were first propos-
ed and the special election called,

ed, but after the matter had been
talked over, and discussed in the To-
cal papers, opposition almost ceased,
and the figures of the election show

MRS. BRUNER AGAIN HEADS
ORGANIZATION-MANY
PLANS DISCUSSED

Mrs. j. S. Bruner was unanimous
ly elected president of the Woman's
Civic League at the annual election
of officers held at the school house
last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Bruner
has been at the head of the league
for the past year and her reelection
is fitting recognition of the faith
full work she has done. Other Off
GERS elected were: Mrs. Ole Dahl,
vice president; Mrs. w. H. Belideau,
treasurer; Mrs. C. L. Marshall, secre-
tary; and the following department
vice presidents: Mrs. j. F. Cook,
study; Mrs. J. P. West, athletic; i;

New Plan
Under the new constitution re-
Gently adopted by the league the
work of the various departments will
be carried on more Independently
than they have been in the past, each
department having its own officers
and arranging its own plan of work.
To be an active member of the league
a woman must associate herself with
the work of some one of the FIVE de-
partments. Regular business meet
ings will be held the second Tuesday
of each month instead of the second
and fourth Tuesdays, and any busi-
ness requiring attention at other
times, will be handled by the execu-
tive committee, composed of the Of
ficers and department heads, who
meet at the call of the president.
E. Y. Poore, representing the
Legion, appeared before
the league and presented the matter
Of forming a woman's auxiliary to
The Legion, suggesting that such an
was desirable from
many standpoints, and that it could
easier be effected if sponsored by
he league than in any other way.
No definite action on the matter was
aiken at the meeting, but it is ex-
,ected that steps will be taken in
he very near future to bring about
he organization of an auxiliary. 1t
vas found that two-thirds of the
members of the league al the meet
ng were eligible to membership in
he auxiliary, and there are a great
many more in the city and surround
ng country who are eligible.

When a community is short of
food because of severe weather
and lack of transportation, there
is but one thought-to get it
quickly. Urbana, Ohio. recently
suffered scarcity of meat and
when motor trucks equipped
with solid tires end chains were
sent to the Westville station to
unload many carloads of hogs
they were stalled by heavy snow
and icy roads. No progress could
be made. At this juncture, E. I.
Taylor, a proprietor of the Mad
River Stock Farm, was called in
with his pneumatically equipped
truck. Even without chains, his
Goodyear all-weather tread gave
ample traction so that he un-
loaded the hogs for Urbanian
consumption without any trouble
