OYSTER RESIGNED
TODROP BONDPLAN
Says He Still Believes in 1t,
Personally, But Will Work
in Harmony.

Commissioner Oyster said today that
while he still believes personally in a
bond issue to meet accumulated needs
Of the city, he will work in harmony
with the majority view Of the board
that the question be laid aside for the
time being.
At their regular board meeting yes
terday the city heads discussed the bond
issue proposal from every angle and
concluded not to proceed at this time
with the preparation of a bill to be
sent to Congress.
Capt. oyster reiterated the statement
today that he would not advocate an
issue of bonds if such a measure would
disturb the present 6040 ratio between
the District and federal governments.
The only basis on which I would
advocate a bond issue" said the Com
missioner. would be the 60-40 ratio
He also added that he would not
support a bond issue if it would tend
in any way to injure the District s
chances of getting the use of its
five million dollar surplus now lying
in the United States Treasury.
AS stated yesterday. il is under
feel it would be unwise to ask Con-
gress feg a bond issue, in view of the
increase Of S2,000,00O in District es-
Inmates allowed by the budget bureau
and in view of the apparent divided
sentiment in the community on the
bond question.

BALLOU WANTS SURVEY
OF ADULT ILLITERATES
Would Determine Need of Schools
for These People of
Washington.

A social survey to determine the
definite need of extension schools in
the District for adult illiterates is
urged by Superintendent of School
Frank w. Ballou today in his daily
Education week statement.
DR.. Ballou pointed out that the last
census showed that 10,509 persons
in Washington are illiterate, 640 of
whom are native born, 1,72S foreign
born and S,053 negroes.
The night schools, the Americaniza :
ton schools and field classes are the
weapons which the schools are using
to combat illiteracy, the superintend-
ent said. The schools. however he
said, are handicapped in finding all of
the illiterates and because of their
inability to read the papers they are
not aware that there are schools
where they may learn to read and

from bandit captivity, and arrived in

operates is valley about 40 miles
long by 20 miles wide, with high
mountains on both sides. Most of
our time was spent in these noun

side of the valley to the other, ac-
cording to the way the soldiers were
locking for us. We had horses and
rode horseback. / was glad to be re-
leased from that bunch. as the food
was poor, and the weather was ge!

PIERCE COUNTY BUYS
1890 LBS. OF SODATOL

| An inexpensive war salvage ex-
plosive has given new life to land
| clearing activities in this state during
| the last three months. Pierce county
has been one of the sixty-eight in the
state to avail itself of this cheap ex-
| plosive.
Taking advantage of the low rates
offered on this material by the college
of agriculture Pierce county has i'm
ported 1890 pounds of sodatol al
ready this fall. When this new ex-
plosive was thrown open to the farm
predicted that two million poun,,
would find its way into farmers
hands before the first snow fiurries
appeared. These predictions have
been more than realized.
Mans most vulnerable spot is his
pocketbook. Sodatol's popularity
may be partially attributed to its low
price and the resultan. saving.
Pierce county's share in this saving
was $2,653.25. This represents lie
difference in price between CONNER
cial explosives and the price that
farmers were called upon &c pay for
this war salvaged material.
To prevent spectators from eX-
acting exorbitant profits on sodatol,
individuals have not been allowed to
order more thaa a thousand pounds.
OF the sixty-eight counties placing
orders, thirty-one pooled their orders
and had carload lots shipped to them.

Hudson-The possibilities and the
natural charms of Hudson as a sum

Lynn Ashley, in short talk, sug-
gested that while much interest has
been displayed in providing conven-
fences at the tourist camp scant con-
sideration has been given in attract
ing summer-long resorters to the part
of Lake ST. Croix with its paramount
attractions. He suggested the advis-
ability of securing option for the To-
cations of cottages and of advertising
the attractions of the locality in the
cities and in the south. Acting on this
suggestion the Commercial club voted
to appoint a committee to act.
F. o. Crary advocated the advisa-
bility of starting boat livery with
fishing conveniences.
During the meeting it developed
that a Wisconsin truck hauling mer-
chandise from the Twin Cities to
Wisconsin points, owned by Wiscon-
sin resident and holding a Wiscon-
sn truck license has been compelled
to take out Minnesota license at a
cost of ever 800 in order to truck
ever the state line. This action is in
