A deal was made this week between
Baker Bros. of this city and Martin
T. Lee of Maddox, N. d., whereby
the latter takes over the Baker mer-
camille establishment opposite the N
P. depot. In response to an advertise
ment Mr.. Lee came here Tuesday to
look over the business Enlistment
and within a short time made up his
mind that Dickinson was the proper
place for his future home. He has
rented property. and expects to move
his family here as soon as he can
straighten up his business affairs at
Maddox. He returned home Wednes-
day and expects to get back to Dick
inson some time during the coming
week to commence taking inventory.
The Bakers started in business here
last January, purchasing the grocery
stock Of the Dickinson Mercantile
company, which had been in business
here for the past quarter of century.
A few weeks ago they added an up-to-
date meat equipment and have built
up very satisfactory business. How
ever, circumstances over, which they
had no control, compelled them to sac
riice their business interests here in
order to take over the general mer-
chandise business at Emerson, which
they formerly owned.
S, Mr.. Lee comes well recommended
as a business man, having been en-
gagged in the mercantile business at
Maddox for the past fifteen years.
He sold out his interests there last
January.

SCHOOL BOARD WINS THE
FIRST ROUND OF BATTLE

In District court before Judge
Crawford on Wednesday and Thurs
day an action brought against the
board Of Fischer district No. Is by
residents Of the district, was up for
trial. The school board let the con-
tract for building three-room brick
consolidated school building and some
disgruntled residents Of the district
sought legal methods of stopping
building operations. Action was
brought on the grounds that the con-
tract was let illegally and that the
cost of the building would exceed the
debt limit.
In rendering a partial decision in
the matter at the close of the case,
Judge Crawford held that all other
allegations set forth We're legal and
that the only question on which a
final decision now rests is whether
or not the debt limit would be ex'
ceeded. Arguments in this matter
will be heard next Tuesday.
Attorney L. A. Simpson represent
ed the school board and Attorney j.
P. Cain appeared for the plaintiffs
in the action.

URGENT. need
OF BUILDING
FOR SCHOOLS
ADDITIONAL ROOM ABSOLUTE
NECESSITY FOR EFFICIENCY
IN LOCAL SCHOOLS.
Every Room in the City Will Be
Overcrowded is Report of
Board and Faculty.

The Dickinson School Board is
3'strictly up against it" for want of
room to efficiently care for the large
school enrolment which will be made
next week. Two new buildings, a
grade building and a ward building in
the east end of the city, are an abso-
lutte necessity before the beginning of
the fall term next year, and the soon
er the efficiency of the Dickinson
school system will be brought up to
its proper standard.
The minimum enrolment figures fol
the beginning Of the term this veal
will be as follows: Second grade, r.
third grade, 10; fourth grade, 80;
fifth grade, 66; sixth grade, 62; sew
enth grade, 81; eighth grade, 81
These are the minimum figures, basel
on last years enrolment, and doe:
not take into consideration the new
pupils that will enroll during the
year.
No teacher can do justice in modern
school work to larger class thar
from 20 to 25 pupils. In the Dicki,:.
son schools this year some of the
teachers will be forced to instruct as
many as As to- so pupils, perhap:
more. Smaller classes are out of the
question owing to the lack of schoo
room, despite the fact that the armory
rooms will be used again this year.
Who will be the first brave man OF
woman to circulate a petition for new
school buildings, thereby bringing tue
Dickinson school system up to tilt
plane where it properly belongs? The
school board can do nothing until &C
tion is taken by some citizen Of tn
district. 1t is high time for action, i
the proper facilities are to be pro
vided a year hence.
