a candidate for representative in the

cations he also has the endorsement OF
the Nonparrisan League. and that
alone would make him a formidable

ton was talked Of that it only meant
higher taxes without any further bene-
fit in schools but it is greatly to the
credit of the community Of Alvarado
that this narrow view was not preva-
lent at the time of the construction of
the school building. The people reali-
zed that what was good enough for
dad was not good enough for the
child. They knew that times had
changed rapidly and that for the very
protection of their children's welfare
they must not only have the education
al facilities of the school as good as
they had but must have them infinitely
better, and with this idea we'll in mind
the people went to work.
Such a step as that which the people
have taken was taken with due fore
sight. The farmers realized that such
a school in their community would not
only give their children better educa.
ton but would also increase the value
Of their land considerably. These
things have already been accomplished
The people Of the town find a great
pride in their school equal to that pride
which the remainder of the communi
ity shows. They have found Alyaradt
a very desirable place to live. clean
town with an excellent school. they
have also found their town properties
| increasing in value.

The growth of any community is
directly in proportion with the growth
of its schools. No community can grow
much in population without the schools
Of that community growing likewise
No better demonstration Of this law
can be found than in the case of the
community of Alvarado. Minnesota. a
town of some 400 people situated in
the southwestern part of Marshall
county in the rich grain country of the
Red River Valley.
This little town is now undergoing a
steady and rapid permanent growth
due to the wonderful farm land of
which it is center Coincident with
this growth was the building Of the
S4O.0OO.W school house during the
summer and fall of 1917.
The successful authorization and
building Of this large and adequate
building is worthy Of great interest be-
cause Of the fact that less than a year
ago the town was using small two
roomett school building and was fright
fully. cramped for room and because
the people. of the community were
broad minded enough to realize that
some more adequate facilities had to
be produced which would take care of
the ever steadily increasing school pop
ulation and so voted to construct the

CELEBRATION WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Liberty Day celebration Fri
The crowd gathered on the public
square about o'clock, and tho not
near so large as that of three weeks
before was one of good size.
The music and speaking was from
the Ocala House veranda instead of
the bandstand, this giving a better
light for the speakers and musicians,
but we fear rather less accommoda-
ton for those who went TO hear and
to see.
Shortly after o'clock the great
county service flag went up on the
staff, and hardly had the applause it
drew subsidized when there was another
cheer as the Boy Scouts came on the
square, wheeling in from Oklawaha
avenue. They were headed by their
new scoutmaster, II. A. Davies, and
guided by crisp, concise orders from
/ Assistant Scoutmaster Leavengood,
while Jack Camp proudly bore the
company's beautiful American flag.
There were forty-five boys in line
and they made splendid showing.
| The Scouts took position facing the
speakers stand and they and the au-
dience stood at attention while Rev.
J. r. Herndon offered prayer. After
this came the solo, Liberty Bells" by
Mr.. Lester Lucas, and the song cam
erica" led by Mrs. Hampton, accom-
panied by Miss Peyser, and portrayed
in pantomime by Miss Vivienne Pc
tiers, a most pretty young lady, appro-
priately CARRIED as columbia" Many
joined in the song, and the effect was
grand.
The impressiveness of the song was
added to by the singing of the prayer
verse by Noelwah Blankenship, q
pretty school girl, CARRIED in pure
white, who stood by Miss Peters anG
voiced the words while Miss Peters
emphasized them by her graceful
gestures.
/ After this came speech from the
