the two big independents have com

Another important feature in con-

ENTERTAINMENT COURSE

The people of Williston are to be
congratulated on the Enterprise of
the Commercial Club in securing for
Willistor an excellent entertainment
course for the coming winter. By a
special arrangement they were able
to secure one of the best entertain
ment courses in the country at very
low price, for such high class artists.
The prices fixed for the five enter
tainments, in a season tisket in only
$3.50 or so cents number, which
is an exceptionally low price COM
pared with the prices charged in 9TH
er CITIES. On account of the low price
charged for such a good course
large sale of tickets is predicted. The
admission for single number will
be IS cents. The Commercial Club
has secured a guarantee from the en-
tertainment company, that the num-
bers as advertised will be here, SO
the people purchasing tickets for the
course are assured that they will have
an opportunity to see what they ex-
pect to. The success of the course
given last year under the auspices
of the Commercial Club, encouraged
them to get a much higher price
course for this year, and the people
of Williston are to be charged only
the same price that was charged last
season. Tickets and reserved seats
at Kather's.

MEAT FAMINE
SAY PACKERS
RECOMMEND PARCELlNG BIG
RANCHES INTO SMALL FARMS
WITH LIVE STOCK

The American meat packers see a
shortage of beef cattle in the near fu-
ture. At meeting of the packers in
Chicago last week this condition was
one of the principal matters under
discussion. Cattle raising is thing
| of vital Importance to the farmers Of
North Dakota.
The report of the executive COM
| mittee declared the conditions "the
most precarious that the country has
faced at any time in our history"
A dozen speakers at the convention
agreed that unless drastic measures
were taken the United States would
be in the grip of meat famine in a
short length Of time
The horrors of meat and bread
riots were pictured by the packers.
They disavowed their own RESPONSE
bility for the present high cost of
meat declaring that they themselves
were unable to get enough beef to
supply the demand.
They emphasized the immense de-
crease in the meat supply during the
last ten years. Big ranches of the
west they declared no longer raise
enough beef cattle to supply the de-
mand for meat. For years farmers
and ranchers have sold their calves
! for veal till there is total dearth of
beef cattle.
Conditions bad as they are now
I can only grow worse declared the
packers unless farmers can be per-
suaded to start raising beef cattle
and stop Immediately selling off their
calves.
Speakers suggested as a preventive
measure that the big Western ranches
| are cut into small farms and each
farmer pledged to raise at least two
beef cattle each year for market
Only by the strictest economy de-
clared the packers would they be
able to avert famine within the year
with the supply of meat on hand. A
fresh supply of beef must be on hand
they stated or actual want will exist
next fall.

REMODELING
OLD BUILDING
OLD FIRST NATIONAL BUILDING
BEING REMODELED FOR
STORE

E. B. Link, who some time ago pur-
chased the old First National Bank
building, has been busy for the past
few days remodeling the same for a
store room. The building will be wild
ened and a new front will be put in,
and by the time Mr.. Link is through
with it it will be almost an entirely
new structure. A new wall is being
constructed on the south side close up
to the wall of the Hub Clothing store.
This will make the new room few
feet wider than the old bank build
ing. 1t is understood that, when the
building is completed, Mr.. Link in
tends to open a confectionery store
and ice cream factory in the building.

FIRST NATL. IN
NEW QUARTERS
BANK MOVES BACK INTO RE-
MODLED BUILDING--FINEST
IN ENTIRE STATE

The First National Bank has moved
into the permanent banking rooms on
the corned on Main and second street,
from the old First National stand
further up the street, where the bank
had been conducting business while
the new quarters we're being put in
shape and extensive repairs were be-
ing made.
AS a result of this move Williston
now boasts of one Of the finest banks
in the entire state. Although the new
banking rooms of the First National
are not as large as some others in the
state, they are, nevertheless, better
equipped, both from an artistic and
convenience standpoint. The room,
which was occupied by the Citizens
National Bank before the consolida-
ton, has been entirely remodeled in
the interior and an addition built on
the rear. The room has been finished
throughout in Italian marble, and all
of the woodwork structure about the
windows and grills is of solid mohog-
any, as we'll as all the counters, desks
and chairs in the cashiers and direc-
tors room. Each Of the department
heads is provided with separate
cage, counter and desk for their work.
A new vault with the latest improved
electrical time lock in another fea-
ture. A customers vault, accessible
from the main lobby, has also been
provided Safety deposit boxes to
keep valuable papers are available
for patrons. The floor of the
room is made of a combination
cement and Clipped marble, polished
to fine surface. The entrance to the
bank has been improved with sold
slabs of marble covering the entire
vestibule. In the basement of the
building a fire proof store room has
been built, where all the bank sta
tionery and extra books will be stored.
Also in the basement wash rooms and
toilets have been provided.
Perhaps the most notable feature in
new equipment is that there is moth
ing elaborate about it in the way of
decorations, yet there is an appear
ance of neatness and stability in har-
mony throughout.
The electric lighting equipment is
of the latest Two large ceiling lights
furnish illumination for the room
generally, while there are many indi
vidual outlets where lights are placed
at the convenience Of the various
clerks.
The improvements were made at an
expense of several thousand dollars,
and they will serve the purpose of the
bank for many years to come.

CONSOLIDATED
RURAL SCHOOLS
BULLETIN ISSUED BY BUREAU
OF EDUCATION ADVOCATES
GENERALIZATION

Abolishing the crossroads one-room
school and establishing consolidated
or centralized schools is advocated
in a bulletin just issued by the Uni
ted States bureau of education. The
bureau recommends this wherever it
can be done without too great expense
and without breaking up or disin-
tegrating existing communities. The
bulletin is an educational survey Of
Montgomery county, Maryland, where
conditions are fairly typical of the
rural-chool problem in general. 1t
is hoped that by a close view of one
rural district, other rural communi-
ties may be encouraged to investi-
gate their school systems and make
them more efficient
That sentiment in the country dis
tricts is not everywhere ready for
the consolidated-school idea is free
ly admitted by the authors of the
bulletin. In Montgomery county a
majority of the school patrons ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to
the idea. They realized fully the
deficiencies of their rural schools, but
they were not yet willing to accept
consolidation as the remedy. The
writer's of the bulletin endeavor to
show that most of the defects COM
planned of by the school patrons-poor
teaching, low salaries, lack of thor
oughness in the common branches,
few special subjects; work not ad-
vanced enough-are inherent in a
system of one-room country schools,
and that the way to remedy the stu
alton is to have fewer and better
schools, with transportation furnished
to pupils living at distance.
It is pointed out that the rural
school conditions found in his Mary
land county are by no means pecu
liar to it, but are typical of what is
found in country districts elsewhere.
In several respects Montgomery coun-
ty is superior to other rural localities
in it's educational facilities. It has,
for instance, school year of 18O
days, as compared to terms as low
as 49 days in parts of some states;
and like every other Maryland county,
it has county supervision Of schools,
which educators consider the most
effective means of building up rural
education.
To make the one-room rural schools
as efficient as possible, but to do
away with them by consolidation
wherever practicable, is the motto the
rural-school improvers have adopted.
Constant Improvement is reported in
the facilities offered by the one-room
rural s,hool, particularly III relating
school work to farm needs, but side
by side with this improvement has
gone the movement for consolidation,
until there are now severa! thousand
consolidated schools in the United
States.
