creational program jointly with the
city council and to delegate the opera
ton of the program to recreational
board.
The proposal received an affirma-
tive vote Of 1890, 1876 votes more than
the necessary majority of the total vote
cast. Every precinct gave the propo-
sal majority vote, counting blank
ballots as negative votes.
There were SIG negative votes and
176 blank ballots, as compared with
1890 affirmative votes.
Total vote for the election was 1851
as compared with 2,458 cast last year.
Total vote on the recreational proposal
was 1852, 5 less than the total for the
directors. Difference in the two was
because five White Iron people refused
to vote on the recreational question and
were not given ballots for it.
Stember will take Office July l. Date
for the organization meeting, at which
board officers are chosen and commit
tees appointed is the first Saturday
in July. or July 5. Since this meeting
comes on the July Fourth weekend it
is probable that it will be postponed.

The last weeks issue of The Miner
was sold out early. The law supple
ments circulated with the paper &C
counted for much of the demand.
However, along with this came call
for thirty copies from a Chicago
bureau to be given out to tourists
intending to make a trip here this
summer Tourists ask for the paper
for just one reason. They want to
see the advertising of local merchants
in order to get a line on where to
buy their supplies and what they are
expected to pay for them If your ad
does not appear in the printed pages
it is your hard luck when the party
hits town and buy their supplies fol-
a trip. Many also bring everything
needed with them, feeling that those
not advertising what they have to sell
only desire local trade. Many de-
pend on the Quitting companies tc
equip them with everything needed
which they do most efficiently but
others who do not get tied up with thu
outftters. trust to luck to get theil
supplies here or bring them along il
their car.

Birds, Traffic Signals
And Early Risers

Some people here in Washington
have been living dangerously before
you and I start our day.
They are up and doing before the
traffic signals begin their rhythmic
cycle of red, yellow and green. 1t
is a period of comparative freedom,
the lights flash yellow-a warning
to be careful, not a command to
stop. To some of the mad, pre-.
dawn motorists the f1ashers are not
warnings at all. They are simply
lures for the needless autos dashing
at the intersections like moths at a
candle fame.
That makes it stimulatingly dan
gerous for early folk whose reveille
has sounded long before our bacon
sizzles. They have to be wide
awake. Except the birds-one OF
the few forms of life, feathered,
furred, or pajamaed, whose waking
is pleasant to hear-the plaintive
peep that gradually sWells in a soft
crescendo to a cheerful chatter.
And the birds are about the only
living creatures who can risk an
early start for they can cross the
street without regard for the traf.
fc lights.

purpose. One is a horn of famine,

of famine is pointed today at Japan

is a peaceful promise. Its purpose

We do moi realize how much of a
"have-not'' nation the United States

Of Carter R. Bryan of the depart

of his visit to a country store.
Mr.. Bryan looked over the goods
on the shelves and counters and
hanging on hooks against the walls
and then began to trace them to
their origin. I haven't the space
to mention more than a few but the

Bryan named at least 100 other arti-

all or a part of each shipped in

with its wide range of climate and

foreign countries for these products

to see how dependent all nations
