KLEMME NOT ASKED
TO LEAVE POSITION
Members Of School Board Say They
Know of No Action to be Taken
Along This Line-Educator Is
Popular Here.

Although rumor is to the effect that
Principal e. j. Klemme of the local
high school, who has held that position
for the past three years, is to be de-
posed at the meeting of the board of
school directors to be held tomorrow
night, no credelce is given this story
by those who are familiar with the
work that Mr. Klemme has accom-
plished during his term of office. Vari-
Gus members of the board, when asked
concerning this matter state thai the
rumor is unfounded as nothing has been
done along this line of work w H.
Kirkman, in speaking of the matter
said:
"At the meeting tomorrow night we
will elect teachers for the coming year
but nothing has been done regarding
this as yet l don't see where the re-
port concerning Mr.. Klemme originat-
ed for no action has been taken in this

A great deal of agitation has been
started since this subject was first
preached, as those who know Mr..
Klemme and are familiar with the ex-
cellent work he has been doing in con-
nection with the school can find no
fault with him or his style of teaching.
In speaking for himself Mr.. Klemme
said:
II can see only one reason why this
report should have been started and
that is because there are a number of
parents, whose children attend the high
school. who have become disgruntled.
They consider me too strict and my dis
cipline too rigid and for this reason are
grurmbling. The pupils all esem to
like me, but if there is anyone who
thinks that shall make a fight to stay
where I am not wanted, they are mis-

question of effecting a consolidation
Of them so that there will be perhaps
only three, has been agitated at diff
ferent times in the past few years.
At the last meeting of the presidents
of the UNCONVENTIONAL colleges in Ore
gon last March the plan of consolidat-
ing the schools in some manner so that
a stronger plea for endowment might
be made, was preached, but no action
taken. The reported plan to hold an
other meeting of the college heads in
the near future to further discuss the
subject, | have not been informed of as

work does not suit. l do not wish to
say anything in this matter but would
rather that the school board decide
for everybody tomorrow night l can
only say, however, that l have worked
hard and have placed the institution
in very firm position at the present
time"
From all appearances it is apparent
that there is some one seeking the po-
sitiOn that Mr.. Klemme now holds.
for from all sources, comes nothing
but the highest praise for both him
and his work The greatest compli-
ment that could be paid him was given
this morning by one of the Whitman
college educators who stated that
nothing could be more blatant than
the difference in high school pupils at
the present time and before Mr..
Klemme assumed the principalship.
There is no comparison" saio this
instructor, land 1 can not see why
anyone should wish to see a man like
him deposed. He has done wonders
with the school and has built it up in
a marvellous fashion"
This is the opinion of nearly every
one interviewed, and with the excellent
recommendations that have been given
Mr. Klemme, it is very doubtful if he
will leave his present position.

For Dyspepsia and INDIGESTION
If you Suffer from Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas on
the Stomach, Belching, Sour Stomach, heartburn.
ETC., a little kodol will Relieve you almost Instantly

Kodol supplies the same digestive
.fh}ces that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being a liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
Out helps you enjoyevery mouthful
you eat.
You need a sufficient amount of
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be digested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannotdo its
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will give the tom
ach complete rest.
Why? Because Kodol does the
same work as a strong stomach, and
does it in a natural way.

WORKING ON The SEWER
The Work on the New Sewer is Be-
ing Carried Forward at the Out

leC-SOme Blasting Done.
For the past month the work on
the lower extremity of the new sewer
has been carried on by Foreman Har-
ris CT the firm of Fanebust & Son,
the contractors, and now results can
be seen in a tangible form along the
Milwaukee right of way on the farm
CT j. c. Hamlet and the property re-
Gently acquired by the city from j.
4. A-crrow. The trench is on the
south side of the railroad track and
fc'iovs closely the edge of the fiat
land bordering on the small stream
which is being used for drainage pur-
poses at present. The lower end of
tire system is being installed first as
C. i?nd there is the most difficult to
dig, being irregular and in many
Places of a rocky formation. When
the fitches are constructed inside
the city limits it is the intention of
he contractors to use a ditching ma
chine which will save much time and
Oh late the necessity of hiring a con-
siderable number Of laborers.
After leaving the septic tank the
course of the sewer lies in an easter
ly direction. crossing the Milwaukee
track running soutt. to section 26,
on the farm property of j. G. Hamiel.
The W then follows the base of
the hills which border the fiat land
lying along the Milwaukee right of
way going east. After skirting the
last of these small hills the sewer
will empty into the creek which runs
for a mile besides the track over the
land which formerly belonged to j.
I. Morrow. On this last mentioned
strip of land over which the creek
runs will be laid the beds of gravel
and sand which will act as a purify
ing agent.
In two places it has been found
necessary to cuts draws, one of "a
feet in depth and the other of IS
feet. These cuts were in the sides
of the hills close to the line between
sections %, 26. The formation over
the flats and at the base of the hills
is mostly q chalk rock and heavy
clay, which has made it necessary
to blast the way through.
At few places in the lower end
can the ditch be dug entirely by hand.
The greatest difficulty so far has
been the lack of men available to do
the work. The great demand for
labor in this vicinity this sumni%r
has made it almost Impossible to Sc
cure sufficient help. At present
there are about 20 men working on
the job. Much of the trouble incident
al to the securing of labor VIII be
done away with when the ditching
machine is put to work. This will run
day and night.

GROWING piece on that tower is the
prosperity design of 1909, which is
placed on a shield of red, white and
blue corn, and which is surmounted
by an American eagle Of large pro-
portions, the bird being done in red
corn, with it's wings tipped in white,
making a very striking and original
picture. Surrounding this design is
a large circle of yellow with three
bands of yellow and red corn leading
up to it. The whole is placed on a
field of calico corn, which makes a
background with good effect.
John Michels has had charge of
the decorations and has handled the
work in a very capable manner. He
has looked very carefully after the
details, which is no small matter in
making the purchases and looking
after the great number of men who
haNe worked at various times on the
strJ cture. He is entitled to much
credit for the time he has devoted
10 tie work and the judgment used
T. lc expenditure in the matter of
decoration.
The designs were drawn on the
building by Glenn Rowley and Paul
Sheets and were worked in blending
effects by -4ott Davis, Will Spence,
Lawrence Smith and Leo Aspinwall,
the nest work being entrusted to
their care. Mr.. ellis paid the young
men = fine compliment when he said
that It was to their efforts as much
rs anything that the decorations have
llecn accomplished.
Nearly 1000 bushels of corn was
used N the decorating of the build
ing and it is a long and tedious job

is taken from the field before it has

buttons are made by saving the corn
cfosswise and many pretty effects are
obtained with these.
Strangers are a little skeptical at
times that the corr is colored, but
S CHI is not the case. All the corn is
grown right here in Dawson county,
the various grains being planted in
the spring in order to have sufficient
variety. Were this not done it would
be impossible to secure anything of
a difference in colors, and the build
ins would thus lack it's strong colors.
Mitchell people are proud of this
enterprise, which has stood the test
OF years for it's popularity. Its great
advertising feature of the state and

 Well, where in thunderation would you expect me to be, sir?' he exclaim- ed "Behind them? got my wound there Laid me up for three months; like to have killed me"
