Fourth of July Committee Throws Up Job for Lack of Aid.

C. G.- Spitler, as chairman of the finance committee of the 4th of July celebration, has conferred with the other members of the committee afid it has been decided by them to throw up the job, owing to a lack of cooperation from the business men. President Worland took this position before the meeting was called for last Friday night and so announced through the paper. He made a visit to almost every store in town and urged the business men to come out to the meeting, but they were not there and it seems that they are not taking much Interest in the proposed celebration. The committee appointed was willing tp go ahead with the work if they were sure of having the assistance of the business men but they were unwilling to go ahead with it when they, were going to have to beg for the aid that is required. If the business men want a celebration now it is up to them to say so.
