Langdon's high school will find Its
financial income crippled to the extent
OF something like $500 as a result the
veto by Governor Hanna of the new high
school appropriation bill which carried
with it an appropriation for high
schools Of the state amounting to an
aggregate sum of $4,000. While Cover
nor Hanna by his veto will come in for
the big share of the blame it should be
borne in mind by those inclined to CEN
sure that when an extravagent legisla-
ture in the hurry-up of its haste to ad-
journ passes appropriation bills 100000
in excess of the states expectancy of
revenue for the Forthcoming two years
there is nothing left for the state execu-
tive but to turn down the appropriation
accordingly. 1t is now up to the Lang
don tax payers to "dlg-up' what would
otherwise come through the revenue of
state taxation.

Local Happenings

Sunday was a day to make Easter
millinery look sick.

week.
Langdon public school children had
their one day Easter holiday on Good

work on the farm during the seeding
and harvsting season.
Easter Sunday, March %, 1913, and its
uncongenial weather will for some years
to come be jotted down and have a place
among the recollections of the sold
timers" Tradition says that it is the
earliest Easter in upwards of ninety
years and that it won't occur again until
the year 2OO6. All of which of course
helps some.
Louis Schneider OF Mt. Carmel, re-
turned during the week from his visit of
about a month to Gull Lake, Sask.,
where he visited several relatives and
friends who left Cavalier county to find
new homes in that section of the Cana
dian Northwest. Since about the middle
Of the month Mr.. Schneider states that
farmers around Gull Lake have been
discing and narrowing theic land the
general weather condition being mild
and the snow entirely gone.
There will be many of the DEMOCRATS
readers whose homes we're in Eastern
Ontario before coming to Cavalier county
who will recall George Fox the boy
v;olinist. The following item taken from

sudden death in Toronto on the 18th inst:
apparently in best Of health, Mr. George
Fox, the we'll known vlollnist, walked
into r. A. Greer's drug store at $50
College street, Toronto, on Sunday after
noon to telephone, when he got through
he felt faint and had to sit down. The
clerk noticed his distress and hastily
called a doctor, but Fox expired before
the arrival of the medical man. Deceas-
ed who was a son of of MI. G. A.. Fox.
jeweler, of .Walkerton, was we'll known
and highly respected here. He gave a
program of violin music at the r. G.
concert here last week. Very early in
life it was apparent that Mr.. Fox was 8
genius as a musician, as he displayed 8
natural aptitude as a pianist. When
quite a boy he was sent to the late Pro
fessor Bowman, of Hamilton, and speedi'
ly became his favorlte pupil. His ability
as a violinist was remarkable, and
his reputation in this regard extended
throughout Canada as we'll as il many
of the states.

SIX AND SIX PROPO-
S|II0N FAVORED
Committee of Twenty Will
Work Up Plans For High
School.

A conference of the high school
proposiuun wassheld Monday night
at the high school building DR..

meeting which was attended by
members Of The board, the CON-
mittee appoln'ed by R. c. Anderson
President Of the Retailers AssucIs =
tion AMI by number of cltizeEs
interested in high school.
By tacit consent the discussion
Of the proposition was held prac-
tlcally 10 plans for the six and SIX
idea of high school. One step de
cided on at this meeting was that
committee of twenty, ten from each
side of town should be chosen to
get together on proposition which
they could submit to a vote of the
people. 1t was understood that the
School Board would appoint the
ten from the west side and the ap.
pointment of the other ten would
be left in the hands of J. J. Hurt.
The present school buildings are
ample to take care of the students
of the first, second, third, fourth
and fifth grades only. Otherwise
1t is necessary to use Easements,
annexes and any kind of buildings
available for the purpose. BY the
"six and six proposition" the sixth
grade would be divided according
to the indefinite plans now in the
air, half of them would 60 to the
Junior School and half to the Senior
High School. All of the seventh
and eighth graders as we'll as the
Freshmen would attend the Junior
aud all of the Sophomores, Juniors
and Seniors would attend the Senior
High School.
1t is now talked that about ONE
hundred and ten thousand dollars
would be needed, of which ten
thousand would have to be spent on
a site for the west side building, 1
which may be the Junior school
and planned to cost about SIS, 900,
while the remainder would be spen
on the Senior building. The com

low the plans as they have been
discussed, but they will offer at
least, something which they think is
equally good or better if they make
change.
1t appears to be matter of
general opinion that the divided
proposition is about the only one
that stands much show of success
when tested by vote. The idea is
not an old one but is one that is
growing very fast and there seems
to be very few objections offered
