ISSUE ENDORSED
KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA TO BUILD
HOME VALUED AT S2O,000-
SPEAKER LAUDS MOSCOW

The Moscow chamber of commerce,
at the Wednesday luncheon, went on
record as heartily endorsing as an
investment, the bond ISSUE which
will be offered by the Kappa Kappa
! Gamma sorority, for the purpose of
/ securing funds to be used in making
substantial improvements on the So
rority home, on Elm street Mrs.
MacP. Bailey one of the sorority's
alumni members, presented the mat
ter to the chamber OF commerce,
after which Attorney A. H. Oversmith,
representing the sorority, gave more
detailed information, stating that the
group now owns property in which
$4,000 is invested and wishes to float
$4,000 bond issue to enlarge and
improve the property, which will be
worth easily $4,000 when completed
MI. Oversmith explained that the in
Yestment, which is secured by a first
mortgage, is perfectly sound, paying
Z per cent interest and backed not
only by the holdings, but by the in
tegrity of the group. Much of the
money has already been secured
through members of the sorority, but
it is necessary to sell some three or
four thousand dollars worth of bonds
in Moscow to complete the amount.
Mr.. Oversmith moved the appoint
ment of a committee to aid in sell
ing the bonds. Representative c. A.
Hagan, in seconding the motion
stated that he wished to personally
lend his endorsement, as he had done
business for years with the various
sororities and fraternities on the
campus and had never yet lost a
dollar. He said the investment
might well be considered as sound
as any investment which it is pos
sible to secure. The endorsement
was unanimously voted.
Take Band to UniontOwn
j. l.. Naylor, head of the committee
appointed to arrange for the trip to
the Uniontown stock show Thursday,
stated that the Moscow band will be
taken and that cars had already been
arranged for but asked that there be
a large attendance of business men.
The Moscow contingent will leave
from the First National bank corner
at 1 o'clock
H. A Stone, boys and girls club
agent, in behalf of the young people
who attended the junior extension
sort course, and of the university,
thanks the chamber of commerce for
the interest shown last week in the
first annual short course, and espec-
tally for the aid given in transport
ing the boys and girls to and from
the picnic.
Elias Day, head of the Lyceum Arts
Conservatory, Chicago, who is a
guest of Judge Warren Truitt, spoke
on the desirability of cooperation be-
tween the commercial organization
and the farmer, likening the chamber
Of commerce to the hub of a wheel,
and the farming district to the
spokes and the rim. He said that
The chamber of commerce and the
merchants must realize, if the town
and country are both to prosper, that
he farmer must be taken into the
real community life. He said that
he farmer, with good highways, tele-
phones, automobiles, etc, is no
onger isolated, but is a part OF any
;ity which is close enough to be his
rading point.
Mr.. Day spoke of the Moscow city
park which, he said, is the most
beautiful park he has ever seen in a
community of this size. He express
I'd surprise at the marked improve
nent in Moscow in the past seven
ears, and said that the residents of
Moscow and the Palouse country did
lot realize what they possess in
wealth of resources, beauty of seem
ry and climatic advantages.
