City Report Shows
Good Year
BALANCE OF TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS ONE INTERESTING
ITEM IN FINANCIAL REPORT.

With balance of over ten thousand
dollars in the city treasury the city
officials who will be elected at the
January election will find the city fin
ances in the best shape they have been
for some years. An expert account
ant, brought here by the present adj
ministration to carefully audit the
city records, has made a careful and
fully certified statement showing Just
where and why money has been ex-
pended during the past year, and just
where the balance comes from. This
will given the incoming administra-
tlon most excellent starting place
and also gives to the citizens of the
city very accurate accounting of
city finances. The action of Mayor
w. M. Smith and his council in making
the same business arrangements and
taking the same business precautions
in the city affairs that any business
man would take in his private affairs
is most commendable.
The financial statement as published
in full in the Gazette of December Ia
was a very interesting statement to
taxpayers, showing as it did Just how
publice funds have been expended
Single items worthy of notice are
many, chief among them being. the
fact that only thousand dollars was
required to pay for the extras over
and above the items called for in the
paving contract. Twenty four blocks
were paved and this makes the rating
for extras" per block exceedingly
small, fact which will be readily ap-
preciated by men who have erected
buildings and had other use for con-
tract jobs on which the overcharge is
usually proportionately much larger.
The city is to be congratulated upon
having had such splendid management
of its affairs for the past two years
which, for several reasons have been
most unusual years in the city's his
tory and have called for careful and
keen administration. The combined
salaries of mayor and councilmen is
two hundred twenty dollars! The
men who give without any adequate
payment. unstintedly of their time
and service in so splendidly conducting
the affairs of the city, are to be COM
mended for their super-citizenship.

The Home Missionary Society of
the Methodist church met in the church
parlors Thursday afternoon. The
room had been prettily decorated with
Christmas bells and poinsettia by the
reception committee, Mesdames Par
sons and Cummings. Mrs. Green led
the devotionals and took as her sub
ject, the story of the Christ-child as
found in Math. 2:1-14. During the
business meeting letter was read
from the District Corresponding Sec
retary, asking if this society could not
send some little Christmas remem-
brance to our missionary, Miss Lena
Wilcox, who is stationed at Farming
ton, N. M. This mission station is
known as the most lonely mission sta
tion in our home fields so the society
was glad to send some token in ap-
n7.aciation of the work she was doing
there alone Mrs. Countryman report
ed five barrels Of fruit collected and
sent to our Girls Home in st. Paul.
Mrs. Holly gave very interesting re-
view of the third chapter of the study

harvest, or who are found in construc-

THIRD LECTURE COURSE NUM-

ESTRA DEC. %.

Judging by reports given in neigh
boring newspapers and the copies OF
letters sent the local committee by the
Redpath Vawter Management, which
they have received from their COM
mittees, the DiGiorgio Concert Orch
estra, booked to appear here Thurs
day evening, December %, 1921, is
worthy of a packed house.
They appeared at Newton, Iowa, a
town of 5000, on the evening of Octo-
Der 18th, and the Daily Record
the following day gave them a half
column writeup from which we quote:
The DiGiorgio Orchestra opened the
local Lyceum Course Monday evening.
The six members of the company pre-
sented worthy program which struck
responsive chord in the hearts of the
audience. The company rendered each
number with the greatest ease, wheth-
er it was the latest song hit, or diff
ficult overture. The playing Of the
popular "stuff" added an enjoyable
bit of leven to the splendid classical
loaf which characterized the program.
Their work stands out among music
al companies and it is safe to say that
all present became instant admirers
of the DiGiorgio people, who by their
charming personalities, won their
house. Each member shared equally
in the praise which was Forthcoming
from all over the house, and which
called for encores repeatedly, to which
the company responded most gracious
ly."

Farmers Asked
to Give Corn
PRESIDENT HARDING URGES
FOOD GIFTS TO SAVE STARV-
ING RUSSIA.

The final appeal to the farmers Of
Redwood County to help feed the
thousands who are starving in Russia
is being made this week by N. w.
Cobleigh, the chairman of the Grain
Section of the Redwood County Near
East Relief Board. Appeals are be-
ing made to all members of the Farm
Bureau and, through them, to their
neighbors, to give corn for immediate
shipment overseas in order to save the
lives of this stricken people.
Mr.. Cobleigh's appeal is strengthen
ed by plea recently made by Presi-
dent Harding who speaks as follows.
while we are thinking of promot-
ing the fortunes of our own people l
am sure there is room in the SYM
pathetic thought of America for fell
low human beings who are suffering
and dieing of starvation in Russia.
A severe drought in the Valley Of the
Volga has plunged fifteen million peo-
pie into grievous famine.
''Our voluntary agencies are exert
ing themselves to the utmost to save
the lives of children in this area but
it is now evident that unless relief is
afforded. the loss of life will extend
into many millions.
America cannot be deaf to such a
call as that!"

EVENING.

The children Of the grade schools,
under the leadership of Miss Pickle,
very cleverly presented the Christmas
operetta, The Trial of John and Jane,
at the armory last Friday evening.
Townspeople showed their interest in
the work Of the children by filling the
armory to it's full capacity and the
entertainment was most thoroughly
enjoyed by all attending.
The high school orchestra, under the
direction of Geo. Bittrich, furnished
the music for the operetta and was
especially effective in the accompani
ment for the choruses. All the small
actors took their roles well showing
careful and skillful training on the
part Of their instructor. Stage decor
ations and settings added much to the
attractiveness of the program. The
High School Male Quartet sang sever
al selections at the opening of the en-
tertainment.
The cast included the following
young people.

Mystery Machine.

There was much mystery about q
perpetual motion machine, set up as
a sign and advertisement over a street
In Los Angeles not long ago. II had
the form of huge wheel that re.
volved slowly all day and all night
being driven by a number Of metal
balls which ran along spokes from
the center to the circumference and
hack.
Gravity was supposed to furnish the
power, and thus the machine could 60
on forever without depending upon
any other sources OF energy. Unfor.
tunately, however, there came = day
when the city's electric plant was shut
down for repairs, and the wheel stop
ned turning.-Philadelp Ledger.

make much difference which destina-
ton goods are billed to. And the rail-
road lobbyists do not strive to correct
this idea.
Considerable comment has been
caused, as appears by Nevada letters
coming to Washington, regarding g
bill introduced in the Senate by Sen
ator Pittman "for the relief of Anne
Martini" as correspondents under
stand II. The bill is. as matter of
fact, for relief of Annie H. Martin OF
Carson City, ito enable her to make
payment of liability incurred by he
as acting assayer in charge, United
States Mint, Carson City. Nevada, foi
losses in operating on bullion" The
bill, which was introduced April II
Is Senate bill No. 235. 1t was referred
to the committee on claims. The re
lief asked for is $545.02.
Speaking of Pittman recalls his re
cent somewhat intensive campaign
the Sagebrush State, which apparently
was preliminary to campaign fol
reelection next year. Perhaps 1t Is
unnecessary to remark that the Demo
cratic Senator and his friends are
claiming for themselves all the goo6
things that occur at Washington, an6
ascribing all the bad ones to the Re
publicans. That is part of the old
fashioned game. What the politica
talk does recall, however, is a story
told recently by lady who resides II
the northwestern section of Washing
ton, and it has to do with the mooi
question of Democratic candidates for
Senator from Nevada next year
throws new light on the aspirations
of certain Ray Baker, which have
been much discussed by the Nevada
press. Permission is given political
prognosticators to make whatever
they like of the yarn.
This lady said she has frequent oc-
casion TO notice Mr.. Bakers automo-
bile around the executive depart
ments. She says it is very large
and apparently expensive machine
bright green in color, and with
hood. The green she
had taken to indicate a sympathy for
the Irish (for vote-getting purposes)
and the nickeled hood she believed
to be tribute to the Silver State flor
like practical purposes, perhaps). But
again we are beside the question.
The really remarkable thing about
the Baker machine, as observed by the
fair politician, was that in the first
place 1t bore a California tag. Ther
when certain newspapers began to
announce that Mrs. Baker planned On
buying a Senate seat for her distin-
guished husband, Nevada tag APP
peared on the car. Later, about tie
time a letter was published sta iae
that Pittman would seek reaonina
ton, and that all was harmony n
Democratic ranks, the California tag
reappeared. Now Ray Bakers auto
mobile again bears a Nevada number
plate.
