The local organization early in Mrch asked its finance committee to provide $1000 to purchase supplies, and within ten days after the rousing mass meeting held in the Gayety Theatre Sunday evening, March 17, openng the drive to secure this sum, the committee is pleased to report that through the patriotic efforts of the representative men and tvomen of the canvassing committee announced at the meeting, and the loyal and generous spirit, of support of our citizens, that has been collected and $1,287 placed in the treasury, assuring funds to purchase material for our energetic lady workers in the two Red Cross work rooms for some time to come. While several of our sister cities have introduced what to them seemed novel and unusual methods to secure funds through much advertised bazaars, auctions, entertainments etc., our organizations have appealed directly to the loyalty of our citizens and in this manner have with an assignment of the work and the means to be secured as nearly as could be among the people, have been successful in securing a considerably larger sum than that secured . by other similar , sized cities. Surely our citizens are again worthy of great "commendation. To secure this fund the city was divided into twenty districts, each comprising one .tier of blocks extending east or west from Main street, and to be visited by ladies, with a committee of two gentlemen appointed to visit especially prepared lists of citizens, at large, each committee being supplied with a list of the names to be visited and the amount desired to be received from each person. .

In order for the government to raise the proposed two billions of dollars from the sale of stamps Payson must do her part, as she has in all past calls. The Baby bond maturing at the early date of 1923 makes a very attractive investment for young and old. It is not a proposition for children only, it is intended for all old and young.

While the above ' applies to those who have assisted, the committee is grieved and very much regrets that we have a number of citizens (and the pleasant part about it is that the number is small) who are above the average and some among the foremost of our financial leaders who have not yet apparently awoke to the responsibility of their doing their part in this great work, and in helping to support the government and our brave soldier boys who have given up their all and gone to help make the world safe for democracy and to protect the future .rights and property of these selfsame unappreciative slackers.

It is hoped that the first of the coming month will see actual construction under way and while our streets will undoubtedly be torn up for two or three weeks the result will justify this slight inconvenience. The feet that there is now in use throughout- the United States over oie hundred million yards of this material and the fact also that it is taking preference over all other types of paving due to its enduring properties and economic construction, in all those places wherein' these qualities are sought, should be satisfactory and ample assurance that our city councilman have an eye single to the purpoee of Mooring for our city, the best service in this respect obtainable. They are surely worthy of the congratulations which undoubtedly'', will be bestowed upon them. It will be necessary at epurse that this work have careful inspection, but insomuch as this type of material is an open book to such an extent that almost any ordinary layman can readily acquaint himself with its various properties and usages, there need be no fear in this Erection. The Paysonian predicts that upon the completion of this work, our city will take on, not only a greatly improved appearance but a renewed business activity as well, and that the people as a whole will be proud of their efforts toward municipal development to the extent that it will not be long ere some other streets of the city will be receiving the same attention. There is already a well defined rumor that an effort will be made before the completion of the present proposed work, to add 'also the blocks extending east and west from the intersection of D and Main streets. This district could be created and put over while the work was progressing on those streets already authorized and would add greatly to the appearance of things generally. wide-awak- - TIPTON DISPOSES 07 HARDWARE 8T00K H.

In selling his stock Mr. Tipton felt that he had too many irons in the fire, and in order to attend to his repair business properly realized that he could not ' successfully keep up the two sep- arate lines of business. Mr. Tipton has recently installed some new devices in his repair shop jn the way of power machinery, and says he will make still further improvements in the very near future in the endeavor to have one of the best equipped and most modem blacksmith and repair shops in this section of the country, |
