THEY Want BONDS
CITY SCHOOLS PARADE IN IN.
TEREST OF NEW BUILDING

At 8 o'clock this afternoon the
teachers and pupils of the Madison
city schools paraded the streets in
the interest of the school bond cleo
ton to be held next Tuesday. The
band played at the corner of Egan
venue and Fifth street and the pu-
pills paraded in two lines, passing
north and south simultaneously in
Egan n The marching bril-
gades carried banners expressing
their wishes at the election, and in
addition to the band music the pu-
pills were provided with toy horns of
various tone. The demonstration
was attractive and after looking into
the bright faces of the pupils it
would be a ~hard-hearted voter who
would decline to cast his ballot to
give them what they want in the
shape of a new building.

present assessed valuation of Madi-
son is S2,203,971. A levy of IL
mills per year would be sufficient to
pay off the principal in twenty years.
This would be $1.25 per year per
$1,000 assessment. A house that is
valued at $1,000 would have to pay
$1.25 taxes per year. There are very
few houses in Madison that are as
sessed for more than $4,000 and
probably not more than one-third of
them are assessed for more than
$1,000. Probably two-thirds of all
the houses in Madison are assessed
for less than $1,000, and this would
mean a payment Of less than $1.25
per year for a majority of the home
owners in Madison to pay for the
principal on the bonds. AT first the
interest on the bonds would be APP
proximately the same as required to
pay the principal, but this would be
decreased as the bonds were paid off
The extra expense for fuel and jani-
tor work would be more than made
good by what would be saved by not
having to hire outside rooms hereto
fore mentioned. In contemplation of
building, the board made an extra
levy this year, no higher levy need
to be made next year and probably a
somewhat lower levy thereafter will
be sufficient.

$1,000 is being expended on the Mas
festival to be given at Vermillion by
the University of South Dakota, in CO
operation with the townspeople, on
May %, "a and 90. At present the
prospects for the "Pagliacci' per

are for the other concerts of the fes-
tival. For the symphony concert the
local orchestra will be augmented TO
the number of forty pieces by addi-
tons from several Sioux City organic
ations. f.. w. Grabill, dean of the

Gently returned from Chicago. where
he went in the interests OF the fes-

the purpose of examining the scenery
and properties of the Chicago Grand

ception of his music and action, so
that it may fit into the local pro-
duction.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, April Especial:
Germany has come strongly to the
aid of Austria in the Carpathians.
particularly in the region of Uzsok
pass, the key to Hungary, and. as a
consequence, the Russian advance
has been checked.
In the western war zone, while
there is little of interest in the land
campaign, the tension among the
British people has been maintained
by the visit of a Zeppelin, which
swept over Blyth, in the district of
Northumberland. The Zeppelin
crossed the North sea and dropped
bombs on a number of small towns
and villages, but no report has been
received as to the extent of the dam
g done, If any.
An official report from Field Mar
shall Sir John French, in command
of the British forces on the continent.
places the British losses in the fight
ing which ended in the occupation of
Neuvre Chapelle at 1851, of whom
2.527 officers and men were killed
and $3.50 officers and men were
wounded.

BOND ISSUE
THE COST OF THE PROPOSED
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.

The board is asking for $4,000
for the new building and for $4,000
to purchase additional land. This
amount may seem high to many, but
it is the least possible amount that
would be adequate to build what Is
needed and to construct 1t in a per-
manent form. The cost OF buildings
has Just about doubled in the last
twenty years. 1t would cost about
twice as much to construct the Cen
trail building at the present time as IL
cost when it was built. The new
building will now cost about double
what ii would have cost fifteen tc
twenty years ago. This important
fact should be kept in mind in con
sidering this question.
The district is in good shape finan'
cially. There is a bonded indebted.
ness of $500 drawing Az per cen'

vided for in the sinking fund. draw

bulletin of the department of agricul-
ture announces. Vegetation, several

much advanced, except in a few local
tiles where the soil continues too
wet.
I'm the corr and winter wheat dis
tricts,' says the bulletin, wheat,
rye and grass responded promptly to
improved weather, and these crops
are reported in good condition, espe-
cially in the states west of the Mis-

while in the more eastern states,
where rain has been greatly needed,
showers during the last few days have
much relieved the situation.
Preparations for corr planting
have progressed satisfactorily in the
central, eastern and southern crop
growing states. but from Oklahoma
northward there has been much de-

Mrs. Anna NJ. Palmer Dies at Home
of Niece i'm Washington Springs.

Washington Springs. April 16.-
For years an intimate associate of
Frances f. Willard as a c%o-worker,
and herself one of the first crusaders
for the cause of temperance in the
United States. were features of the
career of Mrs. Anna M. Palmer, who
died at the home of her niece, Mrs.
w. r. Mcconnell, in this city, aged
10. For a period of more than fifty
years she was an active and promi-
nent worker in the national w. G..
+. t.. She was both a state and a
national evangelist, and i'm that ca
pacity travelled and spoke in practic-
ally every state of the union. She
represented the United States during
the worlds w. G. T. Z. convention
at Edinburgh, Scotland.
Mrs. Palmer was born in Hinckley
Medina county, Ohio, July s, 1885,
and her long life was devoted to eff
cient work in behalf of the temper
anee cause. In 1864 she was mar
ried to Rev. George w. Palmer, a
Congregational clergyman, and soon
after the marriage they moved from
Ohio to Iowa to engage in missionary
work. Her husband died some years
ago while they resided at ogden, Ia.
The body was taken TO that place for
interment.

BASE BALL
CORN BELT CIRCUIT WILL BE
THE ONLY LEAGUE-SCORES
OF INDEPENDENTS.

Aberdeen, April 16.-Within less
than two weeks, baseball in South
Dakota will be well under way. New
er before in the history of the state
has so much baseball enthusiasm
been manifested, as this spring. In
nearly every city and town %organiZa-
tons have either been perfected or
plans are being formulated for sup
porting fast teams this season. Even
towns that heretofore have not been
represented by teams have become aft
tlicted with that growing baseball
spirit and will indulge in the pleas
ures Of the national pastime for the
first time this year.
The Corn Belt Amateur league will
be the only circuit in the state. This
league will consist of seven towns in
the southern part of the state: Alex
andria, Bridgewater, Canastota, EN-
cry, Montrose, Salem and Spencer.
According to the rules adopted at the
last meeting, every one of those
towns has completed its registration
Of players. A schedule will be adopt
ed at the next meeting and ii is like
~ that the initial contests will take
place the forepart of May.
Lennon plans to represent the
city this summer with a formidable
team and will waste neither time,
money nor efforts in doing so. At a
recent meeting of the fans of that
place. various committees were APP
pointed to begin active preparation.
Fans of Bowman have secured an
early start for the organization of a
team there and have already sue
ceeded in raising over $500 for the
support of a fast nine. DIR. F. Byrne
was selected to pilot the team.
Enthused over the record of last
years aggregation, Selby is again to
be represented by a strong team. C.
A. Potter has been reelected manager
and will devote most of his time de
veloping a strong combination.
Plans for supporting a well balanc-
ed aggregation at Ipswich have been
perfected and May Is has been chos-
en- as the date for the opening of the
season. The business affairs of the
club will be conducted by a commit
tee composed of Messrs. Briggs. Her
TICK anu EnEiti WnilS GldHh bidIh
was selected TO manage the team.
The enterprising town of Bryant is
the latest town to complete details
for an organization this season. A
very enthusiastic meeting was held
there Friday and officers of the club
elected as follows: Fred Earle, man
ager; Don Leach, captain, and Robert
Buckler, secretary and treasurer. The
team expects to begin training al
once.
Although they will play a few
games before June, Ashton will not
put full strength into the field until
that time owing to the fact that
most of the team will be composed of
local college boys, who will not re-
turn from school until the %forepart
of June. At that time Ashton expects
to take on all corners and is inclined
to believe that the team will more
than hold it's own
Many other towns are pushing the
proposition and as the agitation is
very strong, Webster, Groton, Lang
ford, Bristol, Herreid, Pollock and
Claremont will be in the front row
with their aggregations when the
playing season opens.
