In the High School.
In All Schools.

In these five years there has been
an increase of 1919 in all the schools
and 121 in the High school. How do
we account for this? In the first
place, we have in the High school SO
pupils from outside the district
These we do not have to take unless
there is room. They pay tuition, but
they do not help to build school
houses, and besides, they may not be
here another year as so many con
solidated schools are being built.
Again, there has been a class finish
ing the High school at Christmas. Had
this occurred this year it wound nave
reduced the number in school by 70
Or 80. Outside of the increase aris-
ing from these two sources. we seem
to have less than so more pupils
| than in 1911.
Now we have a good High school
and a COOL building in which to mouse
II. and we never heard anything to
the contrary until the last of 1915.
Is the population of Oskaloosa in
creas'rg fast enough to warrant an
expenditure of $175,O00.00 for the
small increase at present and the
prospect of a few more in the future?
The district is already in debt $75,
900 90. Do we want to add another
S176.OnG 90 making a mortgage oil
$250,O00.0O on our property?
Now suppose we say we should dc
something, what does the situation
REQUIRE? A few extra rooms. | notrce
that when colleges out grow one
building or when the different de
Ipartments increas1 so as to require
separate buildings, the students at
tend classes in a grouD of buildings
sometimes quite a distance apart
WHY would not sometime on thf
same plan meet the situation here
Suppose we build on the same lo
adjoining the High school, about
twenty feet to the east so as to give
light to both buildings, an annex
say 60x100 it, The basement abou
half above ground would make a fine
place for manual training and = heat
ing plant for both buildings. The
first story would make three or foul
class rooms and the whole seHon'
floor could he pade into an auditor
ium. The assembly room in the build
ing we now have could be divided In
to two or three class rooms. Thu
there would he plenty of room to ac
commodate the present High schoo
and to provide for the Increase TO
years. All this for about ss5.O00.OO.

FARMERS DUMP MILK
FOUR STRIKERS HURT IN FIGHT
WITH GUARD. }t
Farmers Of Indiana, Illinois and Wis
consln Are involved In
Strike.


Chicago, April 3.-Violence marked
the first farmers strike in the history
of the middle West. Many Of the TO-
600 milk producers in northern Illinois
and Indiana and southern Wisconsin
even carried out their threats to dump
milk into the bitches rather than per-
NIT it to reach Chicago dealers who
have refused their demand for an in
crease of % cents hundred pounds in
price.
Regular oldfashioned labor tactics
were employed. Hundreds of farmers
and their hands went on picket duty
around the bottling plants to prevent
the delivery of milk by seeding mem
bers of the Milk Producers associa'
ton or independent producers. Hun
dreds more blocked the highways with
their teams as a precautionary meas
ure.
Clashes occurred at several points,
| Drivers of wagons loaded with milk
were egged and their produce dumped
in the roads or on railroad tracks. At
Mokena, ILL.,, four strikers" were in
jred when they attempted to mob a
deputy sheriff armed with revolver
and hickory club.
The dealers admitted the situation
is serious, but declared they have
plenty of milk to take care Of their
trade today and possibly tomorrow.
The most serious clash occurred near
the station of the Bowman Dairy com
pany at Mokena. The plant was picket
ed early in the morning, but two wag
ons succeeded in running the block
ade. A third wagon was approaching
the station when a crowd of farmers
surrounded 1t and threatened to dunn
the milk. The guard drew a revolver
but six men leaped on the wagon
shouting they would kill him if hf
didn't put up his gun He put the
gun back in his pocket but began be
laboring the crowd with a thicl
hickory cudgel.

State Suffrage Board.

Interest in the Iowa suffrage cam
paign Is growing by leaps and bounds
among the women of the state, and
apparently all that is necessary to
arouse the women Of u community Is
to induce them to stop and give the
matter some thought and considera-
ton. When once they have faced the
situation squarely they are ready to go
to work and do what they can to bring
victory In June.
Suffrage sentiment in Iowa Is strong
and self confident, many men and wo.
men complacently thinking and expect
ing it to carry next June. The trouble
IS, as Mrs. Gait puts 1t, "a great many
people stand for suffrage, but they
have stood for it so long that it is diff
ticult for them TO travel for it," anu
that is what must be done for the next
four months. We must carry the cam
