kow to Give So
That Help Will Do
Good to the Needy
"Much time and money are wasted by
good people who try to give relief to
needy persons they know little about,
said Charles T. Kountse, a director of
the Associated Charities. "It sometimes
happens that several are helping the same
person, ' who Is surfeited with provision
for a few days. Then the benefactors
forget all about It. ' '
"However, the public Is coming to see
the importance of reporting destitute
cases to the Associated Charities and hav
lug them Investigated by experts who get
II the facts and make a permanent of
fice record. Other charity organisations
consult these reCorJy and thus prevent
duplications of relief supplies. Men and
I women are awaured by the director of
. the Associated Charities that all moneya
and supplies Intrusted to Its care will
be given only to deserving persons.
"The cold weather of course has In
tensified (he need of unfortunate de
pendent, and the Associated Charities
solicit contribution from all those who
feel it a pleawinl duty to help allevlato
dltree. Every dollar so contributed will
be carefully administered. Money and
supplies should bo sent to the office In

"Right now there la a plsn being

If this Is done It means that commis
sioners of the character tit the present
ones will be perpetuated In office, for
they and the Interests will have the
voles.
Steps for aciilring the gas plant as
soon as the franchise expires were
urged and the speaker ajiserted that he
would Introduce in the legislature a bill
looking to this end.
The purchase of another park was ad
vocated, Mr. Dodge saying:
"One of tho bills that I will offer will
he a measure looking to the acquirement
of the Douglas county poor farm and the
grounds now occupied by the Field club
and held under lease.
"If I get the backing, I will Introduce
and attempt to secure the passage of a
