MUST We DO AS
ENGLAND DID?

Anyone seeking the reason for
the continued decrease in the
number of cattle in this country can
Lind some assistance by contemplat
ing the market for veals which now
range in price in Chicago from
$40 to $11.5O.
The slaughter of yeals is enor-
NOUS, running to the millions year
iy in Chicago alone and in the coun
try at large probably to eight or
ten times that number. Then ton
milk traffic is SO great and the de-
mand SO constant that dairymen can
mot resist the temptation to dispose
of the calves as quickly as possible
and stop their consumption of milk
\ hundred and fifty years ago the
British Parliament took notice of
the scarcity and decreasing numbers
of cattle in England and enacted a
law prohibiting the slaughtering of
any meat animal under three wears
OF age. We may have to resort to
similar restrictive measures and
1T is true that they have been dis
cussed already in several states.

SCHOOL BIDS OPENED
CONTRACT NOT LET

Extra was invaded last Friday by
an army of contractors of various
lines of structural work who were
bent on getting to help Extra build
her new school house as planned
by the architects Proudfoot Bird
and Rawson. The board and a
large numberof those interested
gathered at the Exchange Bank at
the appointed time to see what
was in store. There were large
number of bids in the hands of
the secretary both on the general
contract. There was tensity in
the faces of the men as they
listened intently to see if they were
to be the one to secure the, work.
While there was a great rivalry
~ ti-e part OF tue b.; GERS he
bids were no; as low as was ALI
;.ciZ;,'ed by the architect and the
board. There is an advance in the
bids over last year as reported
by all Informed in this line of busi-
ness. The two low bidders were
announced and the board immediate
ny set to work to see if they could
eliminate enouh to bring the bids
TO the amount of funds voted last
fall. This effort was made until
one O'Clock at night and then an
ad)ournment was made. They had
succeeded IN making some elimi-
naiotns and in getting some conces-
Slons but found it an impossible
task that confronted them.
On Saturday night another long
session was held at which it was
decided to ask the people for more
money that is if the people want
them to go on and put sp a good
building that will be the pride OF
the community and monument to
the public spirit of the town. They
also decided to get an option on
as much of the Engel property as
Mr. Engle would consent to sell.

the issue It special election to
be held during the 'atter parr
of April.
This new ground Is now available
but may not be for any length oi
time. 1t is desired in order that
the new budldiig may be placed a
little to the east of the old sructul,
and that the old building may be
used next fall while the new one
is being completed. 1t is believed
that much more can be realized
from the old building i'm this way
than was allowed by any of the
bidding contractors. Another reason
for acquiring the ground is that
there is not enough room to have
eclool gardens for agricultural
plots. Even the play of the children
rs very crowded at present.
The position of the board is the
only logical one that they could TAX
They believe that the voters ought
TO have a chance to solve the
difficult problem confronting them.
