COMMITTEE is NAMED
SOON GET IN ACTION
Need of the Organization
Shown By Its Labors
GET ONTHE BIG LIST
No Outside Experts Will Be
En- ployed In the
Solicitation

Three years ago when the Civic
and Commerce association was or
ganized, those who joined, signed
membership contracts for period Of
three years. These membership con :,
tracts expire on April 80. which
marks the close of the current fiscal
year. Therefore. if the organization
is to be continued, it will be neces-
sary to have the memberships re-
newed. Steps are now being taken
to have this done. A committee con-
sisting of J. g. Covington, chairman,
Harry X. Cain. M. H. Chesbrough,
Fred w. kruse, G. X. Mayer. George
M. Palmer, Fl. A. Patterson, ]. N.
Tompkins and e. w. Willard and the
board of directors will have this
work in charge.
The intensive and rather spectac-
ular features that characterized the
organization campaign three years
ago will be lacking In the present
work Of membership renewals, but
according to present plans it viii be
just as thorough. The American City
Bureau of New York and Chicago at
a substantial cost to the organiza
ton, supervised the reorganization
work at that time with corps OF
memberships at this time will be
done without the aid of professional
organizers, SO the cost of such sery
ice will be saved for community
work.
Not Necessary To Employ Experts.
1t Is the belief of the COMMITTEES
that the Civic and Commerce asso
citation, by the type of service that
1t has rendered, has fully justified
it's existance, and that 1t is therefore
unnecessary for the organization to
employ experts to help make the as
sociation a permanent factor in the
life, progress and development of
this community. Mankato has had.
some sort of a civic commercial or
ganization continuously since 1863,
when the old Board of Trade was
perfected. The need for such an or :
ganization Is just as apparent now
as ever before and very little diff

new membership contracts will b.

will be invited to renew their meir

That II will be possible within a
few years TO cross the deserts on a
trip 10 California by never getting
off concrete highway, is the opin-
ion expressed by 6. A. Lewis, pro
prietor of the Minneopa garage, who
returned few days ago with his
wife from a trip to the Golden State,
having passed through thirteen diff
ferent states on the journey. The
trip by MIR. and Mrs Lewis was
made with REQ house car, contain
ing all the conveniences for road
travel.
Every year the trip to the west
coast is becoming easier TO make,
said Mr.. Lewis. IN few years
time concrete will stretch across
the entire state of California. The
mountain roads we travelled on our
trip Were especially good. Crossing
the desert We were on many good
roads although in some places they
are still very sandy.
"It was wonderful trip. and gets
more wonderful every year. The
roads, were far better this year IN
when we made the trip a year ago.
The country we passed through was
indeed wonderful. II is revelation

natives in the manner OF living. con

Blind Man InUents
Handy DumpWagon
M. J. Barney, Lake Crystal,
Has Been Awarded Valu-
able Patent

NJ. J. Barney of Lake Crystal has
invented and obtained patents on
what is known as the Leader dump
box for wagons and trucks.
The Barney wagon bed has been
particularly invented and designed
for use by farmers, but will find ad-
vantageous application when used
by contractors and others In connec-
ton with dump wagons Mr.. Bar
ney's invention has a special device
for the operation of the bottom
boards, which are operated by a
rocking lever, which throws the bot
tom boards into a verticle position
thus permitting the contents OF the
wagon to discharge through: After
the load has been dumped, the bot
tom boards can be restored to their
original closed position by moving
the lever to its initial position.
Mr.. Barney has had some very
fiattering offers for the patent from
firms who offer to manufacture the
wagon bed.
There Is a movement now on foot
to manufacture the wagon beds in
Mankato by the st. James Cab and
Body company.
Mr.. Barney has been blind for a
number of years, and was blind
when he planned the invention.
which has every indication of be-
coming very popular with contrac
tors and road builders. The inven-
ton is especially useful and desir-
able In road maintenance work. The
wagon bed is SO arranged that one
or all of the bottom boards can be
placed in a verticle position. This
permits of the gravel In road work
being spread as thickly or thinly as
one desires on the, surface Of the
