A LARGER ARMORY
co. HI. MAY INCREASE ORIGINAL
SIZE TO GIVE ADEQUATE
AUDITORIUM

AAASSSAA46
tors of Co. H. 1st Reg. N. D. N. c.,
training school, the corporation or
ganized to build the jamestown ar
mory was held Monday night, men,
hers, Dana Wright, J. D. Gray and r.
G. Mcfarland attending. The meet
ing was called to consider the ad-
visibility OF increasing the size of the
new Co. H. armory which is now as
sured from 6Ox1O0 feet to 60x14O,
the full length oft he lot. The addi-
tional size would give Jamestown an
auditorium seating over 1900 people
comfortably, and be large enough to
accommodate any convention in the
state or city for many years to come.
The original plans as prepared by
Architects Haxby & Gillespie of Far
co. we're for an armory 60x100, seat
ing about 1000, but little better
than the opera house.
Z. The company will receive the $5,-
900 appropriation from the state, the
$1,000 loan from S. F. Corwin, have
raised about $4,000 themselves, and
own their lots on Fourth avenue
south. The excavation for the orig
inal basement is in, about $500 hav-
ing been expended already. The
plans call for $4,000 brick armory
and the 40 foot addition will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, total of
approximately $4,000. There will
be a IA foot basement and main floor,
with IA foot walls and 20 foot CELL
ing at the arched middle. Every
thing will be suitable for armory pur-
poses and public gatherings.
! The militia boys state it will be
necessary to raise about $4,000 in the
city. They plan to issue and sell
stock, paying. interest and taking up
the stock as fast as possible. They
figure. that net income from rent
ing the building will amount to over
$2000.and the state pays in addition
$500 annually for aarmory purposes
so they feel that the stock can be
handled with little difficulty. The
boys will solicit subscriptions to the
stock and hope to find that with the
big advantage the large hall will
give the town, their lists will be pat
ronized by all who can afford to sub
scribe to the armory cause, which is
a matter of civic Importance and will
give Jamestown one of the largest
and best auditoriums in North Da-
kota.

THE SPEED MANIA.
Sensations That Come With Ride In
RACING Motor.

Imagine yourself in big racing ma
chine plunging over cous (; eighty
miles an hour. For the age man
the sensation is awful. but the speed
kings reyel in it. Down the road
streaks the car. Lashed into
typhoon by the appalling speed, the
still air roars in your ears. You think
you will never regain your hearing
The resistance of the atmosphere is
fearful. The slightest forward move
ment is an effort. Distant objects
loom UP suddenly before you and jump
by. The landscape is a streaky line
of green. biotched here and there as s
house is passed. The gale seems to
cut your face. and you feel yourself
being gradually fattened out against
the back of the seat. It seems that
the glass in your auto goggles is on
the point Of breaking Particles OF
dust are driven back in your eyes. You
may become blinded. The vibration
of the engine is terrific Mysterious
indicators flucfuate ainrmiEglr. II
may mean that the engine is on the
point Of exploding. What makes the
floor tremble SO: Surely something
vii. happen now.
And then you hear explosions boom
ing from the exhausts as the driver,
shut Off a sharp turn is ahead
The noise is deafeaing. The terrific
speed does rot seem to have been
checked. The outline of the turn
grows more distinct. 1t is sheer folly
maybe death-to rush at it at such
pace. You dare not breathe as tho
car tears into the bend 1t skids ana
wall of Girt is thrown up alongside
you as the driver. with sharp twist
OF the wheel. sends the car once more
back in the middle of the road. You
are safe-until another turn is encoun.

DIR. S j. CRUMBINE estimates
that the pure food department
saved the people about a million
dollars this year by checking
frauds in the sale of foodstuffs.
This saving was made, Dr. Crum-
bine says, by preventing the wat
ering of oysters, the short weighs
on flour and butter, the selling of
dirt in potatoes and the enforc-
ing of honest weights on various
commodities and drugs. Last
year Dr. CrumDine says he
squeezed 1925, 900 of water out of
Kansas butter Since then the
creameries have been limiting
the amount of water in butter to
to Is per cent, as the law prov
ides- But after they stopped
watering their butter many of
them put in a short weight sys-
TEN. He is now after several
creameries for shortweighing
and expects to break up that
practice entirely.
