REVISE PROGRAM
But Local Relief Associations
Are Expected to Continue
Operations
From Judge D. F. Thompson this
morning ft is learned that the change
in relief operation, due to the month-
-Aly receipt of >12,036 a month for
three months from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, is not intended
to eliminate the local relief associa
tion which has functioned so efficient
ly here for the past few months, with
“Penny" Sturdivant as investigator
and contact man. While the relief
funds are to be distributed through
County Treasurer Chas. Stauff, as
disbursing officer, Judge Thompson
says that the committees already
functioning, in eaeh community will
bs expected to investigate all relief
applications in their locality, make
recomemndations as formerly and re
port to the court. The court will be
guided by those recommendations in
most esses, the judge said.
More than that the matter of itin
erant cases must come before local
communities as the county oannot
■( legally give relief until the applicant
has been a resident of the county .for
90 days.
It has not been decided by the
Committee of Eight whether cash or
supplies shall be contributed.
At
their meeting last evening a majority
waa in favor of issuing supplies, but
decision waa deferred until Judge
Thompson bad investigated opera
tions in other counties.
But the giving of the county’s sup
ply of canned goods to those in need
will continue, no matter which . pro
gram is adopted.
The county will not handle the Red
Crore flour which is to be handled by
local relief associations as heretofore.
When the >18,088 relief fund for
Core was decided upon the state
committee added >500 for administra
tion fxpense, an item not in the Coos
r ■
county’s
_• I
supervision, will bo A. T. Morrison,
far indigent«, W. D. Teaman, for un
employment, and Miss Blythe Cousins
for office and clerical work.
To relieve Coo« county of >188
salary expense per month, it has been
decided that >40 a month to each Mr.
out of the >500 arbitarily included in
month to Mr. Leaman, shall be paid
the Coos quota for the quarter.
There are many details of the re
lief and unemployed problem« yet to
be worked out, but with the co-oper
ation of the local relief associations
in.each community it is expected
that the work can be handled in just
as satisfactory a manner as ft has
been up to this time.
N ot should the communities feel
that the R. F. C. funds will relieve
them of all further contributions.
There will be local application« for
help for months yet
Dunham’s to Move Sunday
The remodelling of the McKeown
building at the corner of Hall and
First streets, has been completed and
la ready for occupancy by Dunham’s,
Inc. Dob Abrahams, the manager of
Dunham’s here, aays that it is the
intention to move Sunday and open

day morning.
With their moveable show win
dows,
vegetable
racks,
freshly
decorated walls and convenience of
arrangement, Dunham’s will have one
of the finest store room interiors to
be found in southwest Oregon.
Corn Show Directors to Meet
It is not known yet just how the
Corn Show resulted financially, ex
cept that there is a balance in the
treasury after aS expenses have been
paid. The director« will meet at the
hotel next Monday evening at 730, to
pass on bills and finish cleaning up ail
details of laat week’« celebration.
Anyone who has not yet presented his
bill should do so before Monday eve
ning, handing ft to K. D. Webb.
Two Conebroa Move
Z. G. Pause this sreek moved the
Western Mercantile Agency from the
First National to the Farmers A
d Merchants Bank building.
N. C.
KeUey has disposed of nearly all his
interest in the agency, retaining the
insurance business which he will con
tinue at his old location.
The Title Guarantee A Abstract Co.
is to be moved from its present lo

building, sharing ft With the Kelley
Boxing Card Next Thursday
Harry Hunt, matchmaker for the
Coquille boxing commiaaion, announc
es low prices for the five-bout card to
be presented in the Community Build
ing next Thursday evening: 75c for
the lower flower, Indies 50c, and stu
dent« two bits in the gallery.
The main event between Joe Coff
man, of Coquille, and Billy Breedlove,
of Myrtle Creek, fighting at 145
pounds, will bring together two of the
cleverest welter weights in Oregon.
Both boys havs a punch and have had
lots of experience.
Kermit Shaw and Chief Thomas are
two Coos county boys who have show,,
here before and all fans know they
are scrappers.

Another six-round go, as are the
main event and semi-windup, will be
between Babe Riddle, of Myrtle Point,
and Harold Breedlove, of Indianapo
lis. The latter has not heretofore
been seen in action here, but if he

good fight. The boy« atrip at 185.
There will also be two fast 4-round
preliminaries.

TWO GOOD
VAUDEVILLES
The vaudeville shows at the Com

urday evenings furnished very pleas
ing entertainment to the crowds
which assembled each night The re
ceipts for the two evenings were
slightly under >300.
The Coquille Band, which contri
buted so much in the way of
the Com Show the success {
gave a half hour’s program of music
each evening to start the shows, and
they were a fine treat It fa a real
band that represents this city now
with very few superiors in the North

direction of Mrs. E. A. Woodyard,

To Bo Furnished by Won
Club Committee in the
Future
For the past fifteen years or more,
the Woman’s Club of dur town has
had an educational committee, whose
function has been to assist in any
way possible the public schools. This
has been one of^the most active and
useful departments of the club. Many
improvements and features of our
schools and grounds have first been
proposed, sponsored, or financed by
this committee.
The outstanding
achievement, of course, wss the cam
paign which resulted in the high
school- building, itself. Some of the
later activities of ths committee have
been the planting of rose« and grass,
the Mary Sherman tree, and the build
ing of the playehed in the yard of the
Washington school; ths graveling of
the high school grounds, the purchase
of an educational picture machine and
numerous slides, and last year, the
grading and beautifying with «hruba,
ivy. and grass of the grounds of the
high school and Lincoln buildings.
This year the committee proposes
to co-operate with the administration
to develop a publicity program, which
has been made poaiible by the gen
erous granting of newspaper space by
our editors. We hope to keep the
problem«, achievements, and need« of
the school« before the W
the parents, and the
lieving that auch publicity
benefit all around..

weeks they had been busy making
fancy head bands, sewing on their

Corn Show.
