pose Of building a modern central
school building in order to give all OF

method of offering the children of any

BE READY TO SIGN Up

The committees selected to secure
the necessary amount to build oui
community auditorium hope to fin
ish the work in the next three o,
four weeks. The work has been delay
ed on account of the wave of influenza
in The community, but with the i'm
provements of the health conditions
the committees desire to finish the
work of canvassing soon.
1t is very important that the
amount be raised soon. The building
should be available for use next fall
The sooner the amount is raised the
sooner plans for the erection of the
building can be begun.
Be ready with your subscription for
shares when called upon. The men,
bers Of the committees are busy men
and have business of their own to look
after, and they are not getting any
money for devoting their time to Sc
curing the subscriptions. If you be-
lieve such building is needed in this
community, if you believe in the fu-
ture of this community, if you arc
willing to have part in the progress
and upbuilding of this community,
and are able to help you should do so.
When the building is built, and when
you see the great service it will give
to this community you can say that
helped to make such a building pos
sible.
Such a building will make Monet a
center for meetings and gatherings
for this part of the country and will
benefit the country for twenty miles OF
more in every direction. Conventions,
associations, shows, and sales of all
kinds can be held in it. We can have
tho best speakers, and the best enter
tainments in the country. We need
such a place to hold stock shows and
sales. 1t will do more to promote the
production of high grade stock than
will any other agency.
Remember when you are signing for
shares that we must build building
that will be a credit to our commun-
ity for many years. A similar
Building built in Holdrege, Nebraska,
has paid five (5) per cent dividends
each year. Each stockholder will have
one vote, not more than six (6) per
cent dividend will be paid any one
year, and the stock shall be retired as
rapidly as the profits permit and the
building will revert to the community
as a gift. 1t has been suggested to
make the building a memorial build
ing, and this can be decided by the
stockholders.
