NEW $4,000 BUILDING AT STORY
CITY POSTPONED UNTIL
AFTER WAR.
BOARD COMPLIES WITH
GOVERNMENT REQUEST
Capital Issues Committee Files Polite
Protest Against Improvement and
School Board Shows Loyalty-Dis-
trict Advised to Invest in Bonds In
stead Of In Improvements.

Story City. Aug. 30.-Government Of
iicials have taken notice of the fact
that the school board of Story City
was about to undertake the construc-
ton of $4,000 building at this time.
Considering that Uncle Sam is dis
couraging every projectNthat is not alb
solutely necessary for the furthering
of the war. the district committee on
capital issues has written to the Story
City school board protesting against
our going ahead with this big under
taking.
And Story City prides itself on its
100 per cent LOYALTY. So the new school
house will wait until after the war.
The government officials advised the
board TO invest its money in bonds,
collect the interest and thus be money
ahead when conditions are favorable
for educational enlargements.

EARLY SHOPPING,
USEFUL GIVING,
Wins APPROVAL

Although no concerted action has
been taken or is contemplated by
the retail merchants of Fargo in re-
gard to the agreement recently re-
ported from Washington between
the representatives of the retail in
erests and the war industries board,
many local merchants expressed
themselves today as in closest
sympathy with the agreement reach
ed.
At a conference of the retail in
terests and the war industries board
at Washington the representatives
of the retail business agreed to use
their influence to have hristnas CIV
ing restricted, except in the case of
children, to useful articles, and not
to increase their working force or
normal working hours.
