Man “There are two types of towns and | fs one ‘type of community and each is casily distinguished from the other, said Mr. Witherspoon, “The first town is that which has no zation of any kind, and con- ntly makes no progress. The second type of town is that where a few citizens spasmodically get the idea that they want to fdo some- thing, so they organize a chamber of commerce, collect dues, rent some & 4 rooms, put in a few card tables and a then sit down and play rummy the ny valance of the year.

The experience of St. Paul a few) years ago in getting the various or- wanizations together to work for the common good was cited by Mr, Witherspoon, who said that “cooper- ation is nothing more than working together for the common good.” The speaker urged the Ass iat pro- ablishing a playgrond ier children, y La that if the children | are kept bu d off the streets, much of the so-called “depravtiy of youth” will be done away with, He also suggested that the women of the city be put to work on matters of civic improvements, through the lishment of a women's bureau in the associa jon. ‘(Continued on page on pag SESQUI ENDS im = WITH DEFICIT = OOF 5 MILLION Activities Cease Tonight— Plans to Reopen It Next Year Abandoned Philadelphia, Nov. 30.—(#)—Cele- bration of the 150th birthday anni- versary of the nation ends officially: today with a deficit of move than $5,- 200,000 for the sesquicentenni@l ex- position.

Will Not Reopen Plans to reopen the sesqui next) year were abandoned y: day. The directors opposed such a plan, chiefly because of financial reasons. The plans contemplated an outlay of $6,500,000, with federal, state and city government contributing, to- gether with ‘exhibitors, concession- aires, individuals and corporatins. The action of the directors was taken over the protest of Albert M. Greenfield, who insisted the funds could be raised and that the fair would be a great success next year.

Gould, Republi- can, as senator from Maine assures Republican control of the new United States senate. The lineup will be Republicans 48; Democrats 47; Farm- er Labor 1. Maine voters apparently were not greatly worried over the matter, us only two-thirds of those who cast their ballots in the state election in eae turned out to vote yester- jay. Gould’s margin of victory over Ful- ton J. Redman, Democrat, was about 48,000. With 24 precincts missing, representing small and remote towns, the vote was: Gould 79,582; Redman 31,540, The special election was occasioned by the death of Senator Bert M. Fer- nald, who was reelected in 1924. Redman To Press Charges As soon as the result of the election was known Redman reverted to the issue which had caused great excite- thent in the campaign by asserting that he would press at Washington charges that Gould had spent an amount largely in excess of the legal limit ining his nomination, Mr. uld, in thanking his friends ir support, said he regarded his victory as “vindication of my character as a man and my integrity in my business career.” Senator Frederick Hale, Republican, said that a “campaign of abuse” has unquestionably reacted in Gould’s favor.

While Bismarck escaped the bliz- zurd last night. and today, which is ' reported from other North Dakota towns, the temperature has dropped rapidly during today and is expected to drop below zero during tonight— probably to about five below, accord- ing to O. W. Roberts, local weather observer, The lowest temperature during last night was 17 above zero and the mercury stood at that point at 7 o’clock this morning, but it be- gan dropping soon after that. At 11 a. m., it had gone down to four above zero, where it still remained at 3 o'clock. A cold wave is predicted for tonight. with fair weather promised for Wednesday.
