/. OF FARGO FAVOR
SCHOOL BUILDING
Union Adopts Resolutions
Against Any Proposed
Delay


The Bricklayers' Union. No. 1. Of
Fargo, isstrongly in favor OF the con-
struction of the new high school and
grade school for Fargo, and looks
with disfavor on any proposal to
hamper proceedings looking to the
carrying out Of the construction pro-
gram.
In resolutions adopted at a meet
ing Thursday evening the union
placed itself on record, taking a
position directly opposite to that ex-
pressed some time ago by the Fargo
Trades and Labor assembly.
Back Board of Education.
A communication to The Forum,
by W. G. Loomis, secretary of the
union, sets forth the unions posi-
ton quite clearly. 1t follows:
THE Bricklayers' Union, No. /, of
Fargo, is strongly in favor of the
carrying on Of the proposed con-
struction of a new high school and
grade school for Fargo, that senti-
ment being expressed in resolutions
adopted by the union at a meeting
Thursday evening of this week.
I'VE feel that the city of Fargo is
in immediate need OF additional high
school facilities, and believe that the
board Of education has gone about
the work of providing the additional
facilities in the best possible man
ner.
Disgrace and Msnaes.
Surely, nobody can dispute the
fact that the present high school
building is a disgrace to the city Of
Fargo, and a menace to the health
and the life OF the children who are
in attendance there.
while we are thoroughly ap-
preciative of the fact that war has
changed conditions materially. we
at the same time believe that the
Fargo school building is 80 critical
that delay is not warranted, and we
are sincere in our hope that IL there
still remains any disposition in any
quarter to hamper the work of the
board Of education, the same be
abandoned.
las taxpayers, we are ready to
carry our share of the burden that
will be created by the high school
construction.
Thorough study of the financial
features incident to the school ques-
ton convinces US that the taxes will
not be nearly so heavy as some have
seemed to think, and we are ready
to do our share.
..HH q. issues NOT Essential
We do not look upon various is
sues raised in connection with the |
school building program, as material
to the real question. The question
of who shall or shall not be architect
is unimportant to US, except that we
want the best possible service in
the direction of a work so important
to the future Of Fargo children. We
believe the board of education has
gone about this work with the idea
Of giving to the people Of Fargo the
best that money will buy, and al
so to the end that the city may get
as much for its money as possible.
1--WE sincerely hope there will be
no delay in FargO's school building
plans.

Harry Carey, star of the daring
Harry Carey production, "Bucking
Broadway" at the Liberty today,
which was directed by Jack Ford,
put so much realism into the fight
with which the picture comes to a
climax, that he fractured a rib in
the process. Incidentally a magni-
ficent set. representing a roof cafe in
a fashionable hotel, was utterly
ruined as well. Carey was required
to fight with a dozen men, and he in
sisted that it should be a real con-
flict. Consequently, one of his assail-
ants realistically" knocked him
through a lattice that formed the
raikng of a balcony, and he fell to
the floor fully fifteen feet below.
Then several OF the men leaped
down on top Of him to continue the
scrap, and one of them landed on
Carey's ribs, with disastrous results.

soldiers held prisoners in a German
camp. All goes well until she
learns that one of her godsons, as
she calls them, has been released and
is about to pay her a visit in New

her letters, it becomes necessary
for Miss Wilson to disguise her

TO BUY DAIRY PLANT
Negotiations Nearly Concluded With
Mel Lermotts

Everything is now favorable for an
almost immediate conclusion of the
negotiations for the purchase of the
Mutual -McDermott Dairy plant at
Middlebury by the local dairymen who
have organized the Addison County
Cooperative Dairy Corporation. One
thing OF first Importance is that any
farmer having back claims against the
McDermott Corporation should ar
range at once to present affidavits in
support of such claim. Those who have
not yet presented affidavits should
communicate at once with L. B. Corn
wall by telephone, in order that the
negotiations to buy the plant NAV be
concluded and the new business got
under way.
Pending the transfer of the prop
erty, the McDermott plant here has
been without cans and has been TN
able to accept milk with the result
that local dairymeh have been separ-
.ating their own milk and making but
ter, or disposing of the product in some
other way.
At meeting held last Saturday the
new Addison County Cooperative
Dairy Company was organized with
the election of the following as direc-
tors; Elmer Cowles, G d. McQuivey,
P. N. SWEET, Edward Peet, Legrand
Gorham, E. B. Cornwall and B. O..
Wales. Mr.. Cowles was elected presi-
dent, Mr.. McQuivey Secretary and
Treasurer, and Mr.. Cornwall manager
of the new corporation. 1t was voted
to retain Mr.. W. G.. Mosher as super
intendent
The corporation is capitalized at
$4,000, and over fifty dairymen have
thus far subscribed to the stock The
plant, here is to be taken over at
price of $4,000 and negotiations are
already under way for the sale of milk
after the transfer has been made.

OF the Association.

In the social rooms Of Hepburn Hall,
adorned by the trophies which A, Bar
ton Hepburn secured from his hunt
ing trips in Africa and America, some
thirty editors from all parts OF the
state held, as .oWllined In last weeks
Register one OF the most successful
meetings in the history OF the State
Press Association.
The College buildings lent them
selves admirably to the need OF the
occasion, and with pleasant weather
and an unusually large representation
OF newspapermen present the meeting
was one OF combined profit and pleas
ure
At the Addison House the newspa-
per men were under the guardianship
OF John Higgins, whose reputation as a
host will suffer none from the kind things
which many OF the editors have since
said OF his fine house and service
Though some of the editors had visit
ed Middlebury before there were few
of them who had kept pace with the
growth Of the College and to most of
them it was new experience to be
entertained in the College building.
President Thomas, who had but a
few days before moved to Hepburn
Hail. was on hand to welcome them,
and Mrs Maud O. Mason, matron,
made everything as comfortable as
could be imagined, The program, call
ing for serious discussion of newspaper
problems was undertaken within an
hour after the editors had landed and
during the course Of Friday afternoon
the business went on rapidly and profit
ably to all present President w. c.
Belknap of Bellows Falls presided. In
the discussion of war issues, some
heated things were said, but fortunate
ly the partition walls of Hepburn Hall
were fire proof and sound proof.
Aside from the address of Editor

which was published in last Fridays

session were made by Editor II. L.
Hindley of the Rutland Herald, and
