Plan to Move
is in Court

AS the result of school scrap
in school district No. 40 at Wild
Eice, this county, a writ of man.
damus was issued this morning
by udge Charles A. Pollock, re-
turnable Saturday, at which time
Alfred Brunette, a director of the
school district must show cause
why he shall not turn over to the
other two directors of the school
the keys, books and other school
property.
The school district in question
is inhabited almost exclusively
by French citizens, the contro-
versy arising over the question
of whether the school shall be
moved from its present location
to parochial school mile dis
tant. This matter was brought
up at a recent special election in
the district which the people vot-
ed 21 to 3 to have the school
moved.
tt seems that two of the di-
rectors of the school, Fred Prom
ovost and Brunette, are in favor
of the schol being moved, and
have wanted to follow out the
will of the people of the district,
but Brunette has other ideas and
refuses to relinquish the proper
ty in his possession to the other
two directors, in order that the
move cannot be made. The re-
suit was that the two directors
in favor of the change brought
action against the third member
Of the board.
1t seems that Brunette runs a
store close to the present location
of the school in the town of Wild
Rice and had charge of the school
property.
The question brought out at the
hearing will be most interesting.
One will be whether one direct
or can stand in the way of the
will of the voters of district,
and another will be whether state
school property can be taken to
sectarian school regardless of
the fact that practically every
resident of the district is in favor
of such parochial school. Far
go Forum.

The largest Freshman class in

Very little of the usual homesick-

FLOWER SHOWS IN STATE.

Flower shows are new in North
Dakota, due to the fact that this
state, until late years has been
entirely a grain growing state.
The North Dakota Develop
ment League Press Bureau at
Grand Forks has several articles,
on hand recently, regarding
shows that have been held in diff
ferent towns and cities in the
state.
These shows are held under the
direction of a Flower Club /,
which is formed and operated OIL
the same plan as a good roads
club. or farmers club. The clubs
have, as their main purpose, the
beautifying of the city or town
10 which they belong. Vacant
lots arc planted with flowers Or
q hedge of some simple flower is
planted around it, and people
have private flower beds at their
homes.
About this time of the year, or
late summer, when the flowers
are all in blossom flower show
IS held on much the same plan
rs a vegetable show, and prizes
are awarded for the best exhibit.
If there is some way by which
~,eople can show what experts
they are in growing flowers, they
will take more pride in growing
them and the city in which this
IS done has a different appear
ance in a few years after the an
,,ual flower show has been estab-
llsbed.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY.

Every year North Dakota and
the whole country as we'll suf-
fers severaly by fires, many OF
which might be prevented with
proper care. By reason of this
fire loss the rates of insurance
are high. If we can only educate
the young people in our schools
and the older people upon the
farms, in their homes and in their
business, TO clean up their prop
crty and take care of it, and 10
help to prevent fires, we can save
an enormous amount of money
each year preventing fires.
To the end that the people Of
the stale may cooperate with the
State Fire Marshars Department
in the reduction of loss by fire.
I hereby designate Monday, Oct
ober 9th, 1916 as Fire Prevention
Day in the State of North Dakota.
This day is the anniversary of
the great Chicago fire where great
loss resulted through careless
ness and bad conditions, and
sincerely urge that the citizens of
The state everywhere cooperate

really mean something in North
Dakota.

so we'll were the plans executed,

John Burke
Speaks Here

U. S. Treasurer John Burke
was welcomed by a large audi
cnce at the Beach Opera House
last Fri. eveningwhenhe launched
the opening gun in The Democrat
ic campaign in Golden Valley
county. a large delegation met
him at The depot and amid strains
Of music furnished by the Beach
band, in uniform, he was con-
duclcd to the Opera House, where
y" outlined the platform of the
Democratic party and gave a re-
i view of What had been done by
The National government during
The last four years. He was in
lroduccd by r. +. Gallagher, for
merly Republican States Attor-
ncy of old Billings county, before
county division took place. Mr..
Burke, is a candidate for United
States senator, hoping to succeed
Porter j. McCumber, the present
incumbent. Naturally his address
dealt to some extent with what he
deemed the shortcomings of Mr..
McCumbcr, and while, as usual,
he presented his case in a forci-
full way. we feel safe i'm saying
that the concensus of opinion
among those who heard him is
that Mr.. McCumbcr will not suf-
fer 10 any extent in votes by vir-
'uc of statements made at the
Opera House last Friday even
ing.
Through the efforts of the build
ing committee of the Sunset
Lodge A. +. and A. NJ. SO work is
now being done ON the new Ma
sonic Temple in this city. f. f.
Salzman has the architectural
work and is superintendent of
construction, Henry Walters do
ing the actual construction work.
While the building may not be as
large or pretentious as those
found in cities larger than
this it will be a credit to Beach,
not only to the members of the
local lodge but to the city as we'll.
The building will he 34x8O feet,
one story and basement, and will
be as convenient as is possible
to make it for the purpose for
which it is to be used. 1t is
thought that it will be ready for
occupancy within the next sixty
days.
