ber 27 when the high school building
was practically destroyed and the
board Of education. recognizing this
fact, took action last night that will
relieve the situation materially.
A statement Of the boards action
has been prepared by Superintendent
Arthur aDeamer as follows: -
"At a meeting of the board of ed
ucation held last night it was de-
cided to inaugurate a system Of book
rental in connection with the high
school department. 1t was thought
advisable to make this arrangement
temporarily because the books of all
students above the ninth grade were
completely destroyed by the fire. A
rental Of 10 per cent of the cost of
each book per semester will be
charged for it's use. 1t is not the de-
sire of the board to furnish all pupils
with books by this method but rather
to prevent pupils from dropping out
of high school on account of their
inability to- purchase new sets of
books" =

MECHANICAL
FIRE STARTER
(Rv Associated Press. }

Ossipee, N. j., Jan. 4. -- Testimony
about a mechanical contrivance for
starting fire at the stated time figur-
ed prominently in the trial of Fred
erick L. Small, charged with the MUIR
der of his wife, Florence A. Small. The
states alleges that an arrangement of
electric wires.' spark plugs and gaso-
line or kerosene was employed with a
clock mechanism to cause the burning
of the Small cottage to conceal the
manner in which Mrs. Small was kill
ed, and that the device was timed to
start the fire some hours after Small
had left the house.
Edwin S. Thompson, an electrician,
and DR.. BARLEY A. Carleton both of
whom made a search of the ruins of
the cottage, were questioned about
articles found there that might have
been parts of a fire setting mechanism,
DR.. Carleton, explaining that he had
had experience with wires and drycells
in his garage answered in the affirma-
tive a hypothetical question as to
whether he could time the start of a
fire with a certain combination of ma
terials. Mr.. Thompson said on cross
examination that it would require a
man of experience with electrical
equipment to set up such an apparatus
as was described.

CITY TO ADOPT CHECK
PROTECTING SYSTEM
Will Hereafter Have Checks Made
Payable to "Or Order" Instead
Of "To Bearer"

This city spends an average OF
about $4,000 every month and there
has never been any system of check
protection such as is used by prac-
tically every business firm in the
country" said City Auditor A. r
Watkins to the members of the city
commission at an adjourned meeting
held this morning to clean up busi-
ness left over from yesterday. -.
there has been no effort made to
guard against the raising of checks
or any effect made to protect it.
There are numerous kinds Of check
protectors and one, such as would
prove efficient in my Office, can. be
bought for $25. call the commission
ers' attention to this fact today be-
cause it was called to my attention
yesterday and / have figured out a
way whereby one of these machines
can be used without loss of time or
additional expense outside the ex-
pense Of the check protector"
This statement of the auditor
brought UP a discussion Of the matter
and it was shown that all city war
rants are now issued Ito bearer"
There were three commissioners pres
ent. Mayor Emery and Commissioners
Ames and Blakemore, and all three
thought that warrants should be made
payable to some individual "or order"
All those present were in favor of
making a change in the wording o
the warrants and the purchase Of a
check protector but the matter was
deferred until next Wednesday when
full board will be present. There is
no particular hurry for action at this
time as there are about six months
supply of warrants on hand that will
be used before the change in printing
is made.

1t was announced this morning by
the directory board of the North Da-

The show has grown to such pro-
portions during the past few years
that an exceedingly large show room
is required, and with the Fargo audi
torium entirely occupied during that
week and the inability to secure other
locations, it is almost imperative that
the show be moved for the present
season at least.

some time in making this move for

The Barnes County Poultry associa-

dispensed with their usual winter show
in order to properly take care of the
big state show which they consider
they are very fortunate to get. The
big Valley City armory will be en-
tirely utilized for the big exhibit and
from the number OF inquiries from
prospective exhibitors which have been
received it is probable that at least

CHICAGO'S SKYSCRAPER
KING INSANE" FOR SECOND
TIME In HIS CAREER
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, Jan. 4.-The sanity of
Francis p Owings is questioned, but
not for the first time.
Back in the early eighties Owings,
an engineer of somewhat daring pro-
clivities, capped the climax of his
revolutionary architectural ideas by
proposing to build a twelve-story
building.
Engineers laughed and his friends
tapped their forheads significantly,
but he persevered and in time at
tained financial backing.
The Bedford building, an a1titudin-
Gus marvel for that period, was the
result, BY 1898, the year of the
worlds fair, the Masonic Temple, with
its unheard-of nineteen stories,
pierced the sky to the marvel of Wis
itors. and Owngs was pointed out as
the "sky scraper king" Even then,
the Bedford building, erected before
the use of structural steel was under
stood as it is now, had lost its proud
position as a real 'sky scraper." and
today it is lost amid towering monu-
plents on every side to the skill and
