Woodrow Wilson Foundation.

The committee of Ellsworth for
the Woodrow Wilson Foundation
began a canvass of the city January
80. 1t will continue for ten days.
The campaign is non-political, as
many republicans are among it's
heaviest contributors throughout the
country.
The money raised will go to estab-
fish permanent trust for public
awards, and none to Mr.. Wilson.
This drive is being made all over the
country, and so far as possible by
voluntary. subscriptions.
You can make your contribution
to the member of the committee
from your ward, or, if more con-
venient, to any one of the general
committee who will see that your
ward gets the credit for the same.
The amount of the contribution is
left entirely with the contributor.
Each contributor gets from the ma
tional committee receipt, with the
picture of Mr.. Wilson upon it,. no
matter how large or small the con-
tribution. Men and women alike are
contributors to the fund, and are
taking an active part in raising the
fund regardless of party affiliations.
The committee for Ellsworth is
Charles H. Leland, chairman; Frank
M. Gaynor, ward 1; George c. Pier
son, ward 2; Charles A. Joy, ward 8;
H. F. Maddocks, ward 4; Frank j.
Dunleavy, ward 5-Advt.

The father and son" banquet, to
take place at Odd Fellows hall ban
quet room next Monday evening.
will be the first event of this kind in
Ellsworth. 1t is under the auspices
OF the Boy Scouts of Ellsworth, and
all the Protestant churches are unit
ing in the work of preparing for it,

boys twelve years old and upward.
Tickets are being sold at SO cents
FOR men and rs cents for boys, the
proceeds to go toward the purchase
or uniforms for the Scouts.
This getting together of the men
and boys of Ellsworth holds posi-
bilities of splendid results. AS a.
general rule, the relations of father
and son are usually confined to the
home. Outside the home, the father
loses touch with the boy in his COM
partnerships, his amusements. his
work. The prime object of this ban
quet is to bring the fathers in
with their own sons and other sons
in their group work in the com
munity, and especially with the Bow
Scouts.
The evening should be one of in
spiration as well as pleasure. Post
master c. H. Leland will preside as
postmaster. The principal speaker
OF the evening will be Justice l.. B.
Deasy. Ten-minute speeches will be
made as follows: what the Com
munity Owes the Boy" Superin-
tendent of Schools Henry; What

First Place at the
New York and
Chicago Shows

For the fourth consecutive year
Buick has been awarded first
choice of space at the National
Automobile Shows. This honor is
conferred each year by the auto
mobile manufacturers who are
members of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce,
upon the member having done
the greatest volume of business
during the previous year.
That Buick has retained this
position year after year reflects
convincingly the high regard in
which Buick is held by the Amer
lean public. Such regard is a
logical outgrowth of Buick policy
which has been rigidly main
tanned for twenty years---that
every car which leaves the Buick
factory must first, last and all
the time give that thoroughly
dependable and trustworthy SER
vice which will make every Buick
owner a Buick enthusiast.
