caused much express business to be

FUNDS NOT AVAILABLE FOR
BUILDING TO COST MORE
THAN 100000.
COUNCIL UNDECIDED As
TO NEXT STEP IN PROJECT
Suggested That One Story Building
Be Erected for Present Needs, to
Be Enlarged A. Funds Become
Available - No Definite Action
Taken Concerning Club House.

The city council today abandoned
efforts to erect a municipal hall on
the bids recently submitted and at
the regular weekly meeting rejected
all bids and directed the city clerk
TO return all checks guaranteeing
compliance with the contract to the
several contractors. A bond issue OF
$4,000 was voted for city hall pur-
poses and this sum was found TO be
about half the amount needed when
the bids were opened.
In order to go thru with the plans
the council considered submitting to
the voters an increased bond issue
to obtain s55, 900 or $4,000 additional
but It was found that the legal levy
for city hall bond purposes would
give the city only enough money an
nually to pay the interest on the
bonds and provide nothing for retir-
ing bonds as they matured.
City Hall Question Rests.
At the city hall members of the
as to the next step in the building
project The city has authorization
for a $4,000 bond issue, voted for
the erection of a city building, which
can not be used for any other pur-
pose
It has been suggested by one Of the
members of the council that bids be
asked for one-story building. which
will meet present needs. and which
may be enlarged when the city is in
a position to secure more funds. Such
a building, 1t is believed, could be
built at a cost of $50 1000. The plan,
however, has not been favored by the
council as a whole and undoubtedly
would not meet with public favor.
Apparently the city hall project is
dead for this year at least.
Club Offer Not Favored.
The council also Is disposed to re-
ject the proposal of the Rotary Club
to buy the buildings at the country
club for use at Riverview Park. Es-
Inmates have been obtained on the
cost of removal and the council did
not feel that It should pay the price
asked and add $500 or $500 for NOV
ing and then not have buildings such
as It is said It desires for park pur-
poses.
Final action has not been taken,
however, and John I. Bell superin-
tendent of parks, said the council
would await a proposal to be made
by citizens interested in a municipal
golf course.
Propose Municipal Course.
James McNally has proposed TO
the council that the old country CLUB
e, ounds be maintained as munic-
ipal golf course and the buildings be
left on the present site.
McNally asked the city to pay the
cost Of maintenance only and said he
thought a group of business men IN
terested in the project would arrange
for the purchase of the grounds and
take care of the lease. The council
awaits further word from McNaily,
az to his success in financing the
project before giving the Rotary
| Club a final answer.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION

The heavy vote cast against district school bonds to the amount of $50,000 to improve and enlarge the Emerson school building, by no means indicates that the people are not for more and better school facilities. The voters believed that it was too much money to spend on the old building when the city is in need of ward schools to accommodate the rapidly increasing number of children. The people believe that larger and more comprehensive plan of school building should be entered into, one that would cover the needs of the present and permit of being added to as required. The city has grown too large to center all in one place and it was thought now was good time to make a start in the right di- rection. The money voted at the election would of necessity be spent on the Emerson school and could not be used for ward school.
 The general sentiment of the people seemed to be that ward school could be built and used for high school, thus saving the extensive re- pairs and improvements contemplated on the Emerson school building
 With all the sites for the high school, what is known as the Clark site was overwhelmingly fa' vored by the voters, though fifty or more indi- ,cated the North Leroux street site, showing con- cusively that north site was preferred and that there was little sentiment in favor of the city park site
 A "get-together' meeting now would clear the atmosphere and get all interested on the big ger and better school plans for there is need of immediate action.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Of course all businesses have their special troubles. Sometimes they are avoidable and sometimes not One of the big troubles The Sun has to contend with is the last-hour fellows who want an advertisement or an article printed in the paper Sometimes this is unavoidable and The Sun wants to accommodate all, but there seems to be an impression that all the work of getting out weekly paper Friday morning, is done Thursday afternoon As matter of fact all pages but the last four are printed by Thurs day, leaving the last four to go the first thing Friday morning, with everything closed up by 5 o'clock Thursday night. The Sun does not run a night shift, consequently has to pay time and a half for overtime, or 50 per cent more for any work done after o'clock. That's one big item. Another is that rush" job is hardly ever sat isfactory Another is that it is physical i'm possibility to get only so much work done and get out on time; the people want their paper on time and with The Sun only an accident pre- vents it. Another is that the whole paper can not be re-arranged at the last moment Another is that it is impossible to get extra help in rush. The additional cents per inch for late adv copy is not profiteering and we hope never to have to charge it, but would much prefer having copy in time in order to increase the attractiv- ness of the paper. The extra charge is made in hopes of making The Sun better and more at tractive, rather than making the additional money.
 The good advertiser plans his advertising ahead just the same as he does his buying. The reasonable advertiser does not expect us to pay 50 per cent more to do his work just because he was negligent. Large papers and magazines re- quire copy all the way from two days to months in advance.
 A good way to help boost The Sun is to get your copy in early.

THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA

Lincoln knew. The expressions which fell from his lips long ago are living and everlasting inspiration to the spirit of America and to all mankind. Read and read again these words spoken to the Workmens Association in 1864:
 Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may be- come rich and hence is just encouragement to in dustry and enterprise. Let not him who is house less pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus, by example, assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built"

LOOKING AHEAD BACKWARDS

It will only be few years when people will
 look back on this great strike era and wonder how such things could happen. How one element of society could bring misery and suffering on others who were helpless and in no way to blame for any wrongs the strikers may have been sub- jected to. The question will be, "Why couldn't sensible, reasonable beings have thought of the peaceful plan now in operation, to settle their differences" for there will be such plan evolved for the future. There is no question but the old fashioned corporations showed the laboring ele- ment that might was right" for good many years and when the middle class took up the cud- gels along with the laboring element, there was a change in their methods. The average Ameri- can wants square deal from all elements of so- ciety and neither extreme can carry out their ex- tremes any length of time without losing the fight. The great majority are always right even though it takes time for the majority to form and express themselves The same thing may be said of war, so long as people are unable to settle their individual differences without fight, there is little hope that nations will not do the same thing.

SOME EXPERT KISS OPINIONS

Kisses are but mans whim," assert the girl students of Carnegie Tech.
 Kissing is not whim at all; it is part of our daily life" replied Mrs. Edward F. Buchner, wife of Dr. Buchner, of John Hopkins Univers- ity
 If you would be sanitary, kiss your girl in the evening or afternoon. Disease germs turk in the morning kisses, because the sun and fresh air have not had chance to sterilize her sweet lips So said Dr. Brown, of Saranac Lake, N. Y., at a tuberculosis convention. ~- Afternoon and evening kissing is as danger ous as morning kissing" declares Dr. John G.. Frey Ohio tuberculosis expert
 Aside from all that, the only mistake made in kissing is in sometimes selecting the wrong kisses

Now it is claimed by some that the "over- alls clubs" was conspiracy, by others as fad. Neither idea is correct for, as matter of fact; it was an expression of revolt against the ex- cessively high cost of clothing. The wearing of overalls in itself could in no way materially af- feet the price of clothing, but the protest thus made manifest gave the profteers an inklmg of
