ency makes it more reasonable that
there be a change. He stated that
under the manager plan the legislative
power and that of levying taxes was
separated from that of executive
power or that part which. spends, and
that there is one man for efficiency
and ten men for counsel and delibera-
ton. The manager is appointed and
not elected and is an expert, according
to Mr.. Adams. He said that what the
local papers had said about the salary
of the director of industrial research
not being fixed nor the amount of
money that he could spend stipulated
given as an argument against this
plan of government was 'the veriest
buk.'
C. B. Greene, director of industrial
research for Dayton was the next
speaker. He said he was there to
answer an individual who had written
a number of articles in the news
papers, signing himself, "Fairplay." He
said that he had answered the writer
by asking him to be present last night
but that he replied that he regretted
he would be out of town.
Mr.. Greene stated again that he had
never been appointed or held any
government position, the only thing
in that line was being private in the
U. S. army In the Spanish American
war and in the air service during the
recent war.

He states that he had not come to
Pueblo unfortified and read parts of
a number of letters from people in
Dayton recommending him and prais-
ing him in his work with the city
manager plan, and was not as some
one termed him, "a bootlegger in the
city manager plan"
He read many statistics regarding
what had been accomplished in Day.
ton under the manager plan, compar-
ing them with other reports under the
old plan. He said he had not come to
Pueblo to betray its people but, as he
had stated before. he came as a teach
er. He again stated that the city
manager plan of government was
merely the system that prevailed in
private enterprises and asked. ''if the
system is good for private business.
why is it not good for public busi-
ness?"
He quoted and read at length from
the local papers in one instance add
ing, "that 1t was no use to burden you
with those things" and threw the
newspaper on the table. He said he
had been in newspaper work long
time and some of these communica-
tions he would write across them the

ter of Staging Another of
Their Popular Charity Balls.

The Railroad boys of the city, to
whom is due the credit for the sue
cess of their charity balls given dur
ing the past three years, are being
urged to give another of their popu-
lar events in the near future.
The Railroad boys staged a Charity
Ball during, the past three years
and they proved to be the biggest
events of the kind ever held in this
city, and the one to be given this
season will in all probability sur
pass the other two events.
These boys use the funds from
these balls to help out needy people
in the city and the good that they
have done is hard to be realized, for
they have made their funds go a
great way toward relieving distress
where it has come 70 their attention.
These boys know how to stage a
ball and they know how to handle
the funds and many people Of the
city look forward to the coming
event.

HORSE A RARITY IN HAWAII

Horses will soon be strange animals
in the land of the ukelele. They are
rapidly being displaced by motor
driven machinery.
For transportation purposes auto
mobiles and trucks have almost en-
tirely superseded the horse, and on
the big sugar and pineapple planta-
tions the work is done almost ex-
clusively by tractors and motor driven
plows. This development has reduc-
ed operating expenses considerably,
at the same time accomplishing in
creased and more satisfactory results.
Several plantations are now manu-
featuring their own motor fuel from
sugar refinery waste.
A big factor in the change that has
been brought is the wonderful roads
which are being developed in the
islands. Splendid automobile roads
lead to every point of interest, and
each of the four larger islands is en-
circled by splendidly constructed belt
roads, from which branch out other
highways. forming veritable net
work Of good roads.

ASK FOR new
RURAL ROUTE
PETITIONS HAVE GONE IN
TO WASHINGTON
Would Lengthen the Present
Route Running Out of Wash
burn and Make Two Routes
Out of This City.

Petitions have gone to Washing
ton asking the Postal Department to
establish another rural route running
out of this city and survey of the
new route will in all probability be
made in the near future.
The plan is to extend the route
running out Of this city in order to
take in the country lying east of the
city and to make two circuits, one
of which will be made in the morning
and the other in the afternoon.
For some time there has been a
demand for another route or an ex-
tension of the present route and to
this end the town roads have been
constructed to bring this about.
With the additional circuit large
number of additional rural families
would be Accommodated.

XMAS CHEER
KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS TO
AID NEEDY PEOPLE
Ask CO. Operation of all Persons
OF the City to Assist Them
in Spreading Good Cheer at
Xmas Time.

The Knights of Pythias lodge of
this city, in cooperation with other
people and organizations, are going
to play the parttof the Good Fellow

in view, at their. meeting held on

pointed committee of nine members
to solicit funds and articles of food
and this will be distributed at Christ
mas time in order that the children
who might not otherwise be provided
with Christmas will not feel that
they have been slighted.
The unemployment situation of the
present year has left many bread
winners without work with which
to provide their families and many
of the children of these people would
have to see Christmas go by without
the usual cheer unless the same was
provided for them, and this the
Knights of Pythias, expect to accom-
plish with the aid of all people.
There are many good fellows in
Washburn who are able to spare a
dollar or so for this worthy cause,
and would willingly give and now
they will have an opportunity of do
ing so with the knowledge that what
ever they may give will be distri-
buted where it will do the most good.
William Arntson is chairman of
the committee of the Knights of
Pythias and the other members of
the committee are A. /. Lien, Carl
Holman, Ike Berman, Nels Myhre,
Albert Garberg, Victor Bergquist,
Roy Markham and Frank Skuhra.
These boys will solicit funds and ar
ticles of food and will see to it that
the same reaches {the persons most
needy.
When they come around for funds
dig down deep in your pockets and
give what your heart says you should
give, knowing that by doing so you
are making some one else happy at
this Christmas time.
Join the Goodfellows Club. 1t
cost just dollar but you can give
more.

CHRISTMAS OFFERING FOR
THE SANITORIUM

The Superintendent of the Tri-
County Sanitorium at Bayfield,, in
forms us that they are sadly in need
of a piano for social and musical
entertainment. The trustees are
anxious to obtain all equipment of
this kind, but the costs of establish
ing and maintaining the sanitorium
have proved to be so great that
there are no public funds from which
musical or social equipment can be
provided at the present time.
This appeal is being sent out
through the counties of Ashland,
Bayfield, and Iron, in the hope that
the citizens, both individually and
through their societies and organiza-
tions will assist in obtaining funds
with which to purchase good piano,
as Christmas offering for the sani-
torium and its patients. 1t is hop
ed that all persons interested in the
welfare of the patients will contribute
at least Fifty Cents piece. Your
contributions may be handed to your
local Bank Cashier, or sent to First
National Bank of Bayfield,, with in
structions to be forwarded to the
committee having this matter in
charge.
Will you not one and all remember
the patients at the Sanitorium at this
Christmas season and send them "a
small gift to be used as suggested
above?
