new PARKING
PLAN TALKED
CITY Commission Discusses
Ordinance Change; To
Investigate Question

The question of amending the or
dinance pertaining to the parking of
automobiles in the streets was dis
cussed at the regular weekly meeting
today of the city commission, but no
definite action was taken pending a
thorough investigation of the. ques-
ion. The plan a. presented is to
amend the ordinance so as to provide
'or the parking of cars parallel to the
:urb. This plan is in vogue in Min
leapolis, and is said to be very sue
;essful. Under this plan cars would
,e parked not nearer than a foot
rom the curb and with five or six
set between cars.
This would mean, of course, that
sarking space would be greatly les
ned and the plan might not be &C.
rptable to merchants 1t also would
a that cars would have to be
.rked on the side streets. thus in
Easing the danger from auto thieves.
this is done, it would mean an
in the police force.
The commission decided to get
Unions from business men and auto
IS before taking action.
Bids for hauling garbage were
pcned today. Seven bids were re-
eived but no contract was let today
he question was referred to the
ealth department for investigation.

Certain Advantages
OF Partial Payment Investing

VX E DO NOT KNOW Of any other partial payment plan
w for investing that equals ours in convenience, fairness
and financial returns to the investor. x
AN INVESTOR ON OUR PLAN undertakes to purchase a
definite number of shares of Northern, States Power Company
Preferred Stock at the rate of $500 Cor more) per share per month.
He obtains the stock for the same price as the cash investor. He
makes a first payment and receives an ownership certificate upon
which his subsequent payments are endorsed.
DURING THE AYMEN PERIOD each deposit as made
earns interest for the investor at the rate Of SO per annum from
the day til paid in. When the payments are completed the own
ership certificate is exchanged for a permanent Preferred Stock
certificate, paying a return (t the present price of the stock of
$40 a year, divided into four dividend checks, received every
80 days.
IF AN INVESTOR CANNOT or decides not to complete his
payments. he has the privilege of withdrawing his funds, in which
case he receives them back in full with go interest added for the
time the Company has had the use of his money. There is no
forfeiture or loss.
The steady accumulation of wealth by means Of this method will
beat Get Rich Quick schemes 500 times out of 1000.

1t was done. The next day at noon not
bit Of shining gold was left in any house
or store in Kitaigrod.
That afternoon the streets were filled
with dust clouds. They were caused by
another company Of soldiers that had rid
den over from the garrison Of Kamenez-
Rodolsk They rode up to the home of the
Widow Rosenthal.
They filed the street in front Of her
house. A few went in and brought out
clothes and gold watches and chains and
rings, and rubles. downstairs and dis
tributed them. When these soldiers had
gotten their allotment OF the booty they
laughed and sang. When they rode back
oward Kamenez-Rodolsk they shouted
through the open doors "Kis" This is
term Of derision; as "Sheeney."
We tried to eat our dinner that day, but
none Of us could. There was somethin"
horrible hanging over us. My father said
that the other soldiers had not come over
from the garrison for the purpose Of get
ting their share OF the tribute only. He
said that this had been ordered, as the
officers wanted to show the citizens that
the movement was organized. They
wanted to let us know that the army wa!
behind whatever they had done and what
ever they might be planning to do, and
that the Rolshevist Government had or
dered It. This was to make us see clearly
our helplessness, he said
"But that means a pogrom!" sobbed my
mother. What will the end be? Alas!
They will STAY us and our babes"
BE brave!" answered my father "1f
we give them all they ask they may not
murder us. Once there was a pogrom at
Kiev in which they only robbed and de-
stroyed property. They did not kill"
The next day the soldiers sent for the
committee to call and wait upon them at
the home OF the Widow Rosenthal

On the evening of June IS my father
looked about the nearly empty room and
his bare store

said. What more can they ask? There
is nothing left. Tomorrow they will go
away"
Let US pray" said my mother; but her
eyes were wide and were filed with an
unspoken fear.
1t was two o'clock that morning that
we were awakened by shots and screams.
A womans cry rang down the street. Then

The climax of the pogrom had arrived.
Commandant Waschinsky began 1t. He
went to the door of the Widow Rosentha!
He knocked loudly upon 1t. She came
shivering to the door and opened it little
and peered out
"Ge, me a glass of milk" he said.

and shrank past him and went to the
