VOTE THIS WEEK ON
LARGEST BOND ISSUE

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Great interest
is being taken in a special election
which is to be held here Tuesday of
this week, at which the proposition
of issuing bonds in the sum OF $175,-
900 for the erection of new school
buildings, and bonds in the addition
al sum of $1,000 for the purchase of
grounds to be used for athletic and
other school purposes, will be sub
mitted to the voters. This is the
greatest proposed issue of bonds for
school purposes ever submitted to the
voters of any South Dakota commun-
ity. The proposed bonds are to be-
come due and payable in twenty
years from the date of their issuance
and will draw interest at a rate not
exceeding five per cent. 1t is planned
with the money thus raised to erect
two new public school buildings and
a large addition to one of the pres
ent structures. The increase in the
number of children of school age has
been so rapid that the present school
facilities of the city have become in
adequate. atdaA

BOARD REJECTS
co. AGENT PLAN
RESOLUTION ADOPTED DECLAR-
ING THERE Is NO NECESSITY
FOR ENPERT.

BY a vote OF three to two, the
board of commissioners of Dawson
county voted late Saturday after
moor to reject the petition for the
establishment OF Il county agricul-
tural expert. Commissioners Martin
Gleeson and Nels Jensen supported
the plan and Commissioners j. C..
Lehman. A. j. Curtis and c. H. Grady
were against it.
Commissioner Gleeson sought to
have the board take action TO use the
county poor farm for demonstration
purposes, levying the money for the
work at the session on September /,
when all taxes are levied. Mr.. Glee-
son pointed out that the money
would not be available until eleven
months. but the only other supporter
of the motion was Mr.. Jensen.
My notion said MIR. Gleason, sis
really STAYING off the matter for an
other year, AS the taX would not
be levied until September nor col
lected before January. 1915. BY its
passage we would not be committed
to make a half mill levy. or even a
fourth-mill levy" Commissioner Jen-
sen also spoke i'll favor of the motion,
declaring that as one of the heavy
taxpayers of the county he was an
Nious to try the plan which had been
used with so much success elsewhere.
With the failure OF the Gleason
motion. the motion made by Chair
man Lehman passed with the sup
port of Commissioners Curtis and
Grady. However, the rejection OF
the petition will not prevent another
being presented to the board for fur
ther consideration before the Septem-
Der session, supporters of the Leh-
man motion declared.
In the discussion OF the merits OF
the plan preceding the action of the
board. about three hours We're de
voted to hearing arguments upon the
matter. Those favoring the plans
were w. A Wheeler, of Mitchell
James Tobin, of Mitchell, JOSEPH

First Attempt Failure

1t was this doubtless that led to the
report coming from northern France
that the Germans had retired having
given up their attempt to reach the
channel ports.
The fact is that the two armies have
fought themselves out temporarily and
that the Germans first effort to break
through the Allies lines has failed.
Neither side could continue any long
er, the men having been without sleep
or rest for the ten days that the bat
tie has been in progress over ground
which at best is morass.
The Germans succeeded last Satur-
day in getting some men across the
User canal and they put more men
across Sunday. But the force facing
them was too formidable and now the
opposing armies are taking a long
needed rest.
There is every evidence, however,
that the Germans intend to renew their
attempt to force their way through to
Dunkirk. They are bringing up fresh
men and more ammunition and guns.
but at the same time are taking the
precaution to prepare a second line OF
defence, should their forward move
ment again meet with defeat.
The new attempt it is believed will
be made further inland. for the fall
ure Of the first one was largely due
to the bombardment that the troops
and artillery had to undergo from
the British and French warships off
the coast of Belgium.
This cessation of heavy fighting
seems to have extended all along the
line as far as Arras, and the result
of it all is that the Germans while
they have suffered heavy losses and
have inflicted similar punishment on
the Allies, are farther away from the
French coast than they were at the
beginning of the battle.
