 The school board met on Tuesday evening and discussed and formulated plans for the new school year. Ar engagements were made for the cleaning up Of the building and grounds, the re- pairing of windows, furniture and locks, the inauguration of system of records and for a number of other de- tails. The board also decided to hold regular monthly meetings in order to keep in close touch with the progress of the school.
 Pupils from outside territory who contemplate attending the school here for any part of the term are requested to meet the new principal as soon as pos sible in order that work may be planned to meet as closely as possible their needs.

however, the roads are almost impassa.

! The law creating the eComptroller' office
I requires the Comptroller to audit the
books and accounts Of the County Treas
/ urer, Receiver Of Taxes and Collectors OF
Taxes, at least once in every month. and
report the result Of such audit to the
Levy Court Commissioners; so far as we
can learn, this has never been done by
any Comptroller Of this County. This
audit should be required, as the informa-
tion obtained from same would place be-
fore the Levy Court, at every regular
monthly meeting, a financial statement,
showing the assets and liabilities OF the
County, which should, and no doubt
would, be a great help to the Levy Court
The books and accounts Of the Comp
troller are, In our opinion, entirely insuffi-
cient to serve the purpose for which the
office was created, and II seems to US
that the office has always been liability
to the County, but could very easily be
made. at a very small expense, a very
valuable asset to the County.
We wish to say In conclusion, that, in
our opinion. the system now in vogue IN
the Comptroller's office, while II Is prac-
tically the same system which has been In
use since the office was established. Is
grossly Inadequate to meet the require
the office WAS created But we desire to
say also. however, that the system has
been somewhat improved by the present
incumbent, and we are OF the opinion
that II will be further improved during
the year, TO such an extent that the office
will be a credit to the Comptroller. and
will be the means OF efficiently safe
guarding the finances Of the County.
Until II does reach such a state Of afficl-
ency. we do not think the office will meet
the ends for which Il was designed TO
meet when 1t was created

PAUL PRY'g GLENDALE
LETTER.

The discussion as to where the new
! church shall be built has brought forth
many suggestions from the different
citizens of the town, so why should not
we set forth our views on this same sub
| ject? The idea that it must be put on
the old site is absurd. The thing to do
is to go with the popular progress which
extends westward, and is the only
available place for new buildings, and in
the direction Of the new du Pont boule-
ward. Here there are a number of nice
available lots, that would be appropriate
for the purpose, and if those in aHthori-
ty would lay aside their selfish motives
and get together there would be no DELAY
in erecting d handsome new edifice
There are those who advocate begging
the money from the public In our
opinion this is wrong. There should be
a business view taken of the matter. and
the situation handled in a business-like
manner Start the building with the in
surance money. then issue church bonds
to complete the structure and let the
coming generation help shoulder the
burden and pay for the property and
they enjoy. In this day of
great achievements there is but little
accomplished without indebtedness.
Don let it be said of our church, as it
is of so many Methodist Churches, that |
one never enters the edifice without |
hearing the cry for money until the re- /
ligiOn has no value but money and YOU /
are measured in the religious balance by |
the amount you can be begged to give |

Little Giants Coming Into Ward Co.

Little Giants Coming Into Ward Co
A tractor of quality that promises
to satisfy a great many of our Ward
county farmers, is the four cylinder
Little Giant, manufactured by Meyers
Brothers Company, Mankato, MINI.
and handled for the Northwest by S,
J. Taber & Co., of Fargo.
The manufacturers are more than
elated over the fact that recently,
when the French government sent a
commission to this country for the
purpose of buying tractors to be used
after the close of the war, the Little
Giant Tractors were selected by the
French engineers, and an order was
placed for 100 machines to be deliv-
cred at regular intervals soon after
peace is declared.
In France, on account of the scar
city of labor, which is bound to grow
worse as the war goes on, the gov
eminent has taken hold of the tractor
proposition with much interest; and
every farmer who buys a tractor that
is approved by the government re-
ceives rs per cent of the purchase
price from the French treasury to help
pay for the tractor. --
Field Manager w. w. McDermott,
representing S. J. Taber & Company
of Fargo, is now at the Leland hotel,
and will be glad to see or hear from
any farmers interested in this high
grade tractor. 1
