SAFEGUARD AGAINST RAD
lcAL FOUNDATIONS.

At the meeting of the board o.
trade last Monday the report Of tn,
committee of 20, which was submit
ed two weeks ago. was discussed. This
committee was appointed to devise
ways and means of promoting the
prosperity of the city and district
giving special attention to inducing
men with families to seek employ
ment in the mines. This committee
made three specific recommendations
The first was to make an intensive
campaign to increase the membership
of the board of trade or a similar or
ganization in order to secure the as
sistance of all who are interested in
accomplishing the purpose for which
the committee was appointed The
second was the appointment of a con-
fidential committee to estimate the
cost of an advertising campaign such
as the committee outlined and to feel
out public sentiment with respect to
undertaking it. The third recon-
mendation was the appointment of an
industrial secretary who would give
all his time to publicity and the bust
ness Improvement of the city and
district
Confidential Committee.
II. J. Huh thought that it would be
necessary to act upon the second re- |
commentator before the first and |
third could be formally considered |
since the campaign proposed would /
have to await a report of the commit /
tee appointed to make a survey of the |
field and sound out public sentiment /
This view was accepted, and upon
motion of Mr. Hull the chairman was
authorized to appoint a confidential
committee to make the investigation
and report at the next meeting
Support American Legion.
At meeting several weeks ago the
board of trade assumed the obliga-
ton to pay the rent for the American
Legion club rooms for a year and 9th
err expenses. the aggregate sum not to
exceed $3.50 per month A special
committee was appointed to raise this
fund II developed at the meeting that
while the club rooms had been occu-
pied for more than a month. no rent
had been paid and that nothing had
been done toward raising the money
The chairman urged the committee to
proceed at once to secure funds to
discharge this obligation The com
nittee consists of jerome j. Day

Value of American Legion.
In the course of the discussion re-
,arding the club rooms. John IT, Nc
ivers. commander of Herschel V.
edwards post, impressed upon the
oard the Importance of getting be C
ind" the American Legion. He called a
ttention to the effort now being $
lade to establish local posts in this a
ounty of an eN-soldier organization n
lade up exclusively of privates and C
hat the sole aim of that organization n
to further the selfish interest of its Il
lembers. 1t demands an exorbitant p
ash bonus for soldiers of the world p
ar allotment of improved land. and v
her demands socialistic in their ma f,
ire and inimical TO the welfare of the p
'untry. Mr. McEvers pointed ont OF
lat the American Legion is unqual- b
edly opposed to such radcalsm "
nd can usecessfully combat it if Civ rC
J the support Of the people. For this lie
ason he felt that the people of Wal pi

ade should he made to realize the III
lportance of encouraging and sup ie
'rting the American Legion. TO
