NEW YORK TIMES WRITES \ s UP j GOLD 30 l.
 AID PROPOSALS
Great Financial Paper Ex- tensiveIy Quotes from B. L. Thames Brief of
 Gold Situation.

The financial page of the New York Times, probably the leading fi- nancial department conducted by a daily newspaper in the United States contains a long article concerning the proposal to aid in promoting gold production in the United States from which the following is taken ::
 "The united action of the gold. producing industry of the British Empire in forming a committee ear. ly in the current month to work with the Government on plan to relieve the gold mining interests from burdens brought about by the war has aroused widespread discus. sion among producers in this coun. try in regard to the established price of the precious metal and the high cost of getting 1t out Of the earth. Leaders in the American 4in- dustry asserts that the advance dur ing the last four years in wages, materials, and supplies and freight charges has. brought costs to a point where many important mining com panies are unable to, make a profit with gold selling at the conventional price of $2067 an ounce. @@''' '''s''
 "In discussion of the gold min ing situation, B. L. Thane, General Manager of the Alaska Gold Mining Company, states that conditions could be relieved temporarily by the establishment of Government bonus on the metal sufficient to offset the increased cost of labor and ma terials as against pre-war condi- tions. ''''s
 GAS a mater of actual fact he adds, the United States is paying out today gold to neutrals for pur- chases at fixed value which is considerably less than the lost of producing it.

GRAIN MILLS ARE
 BEING ERECTED IN
 MANY IRISH TOWNS

DUBLIN, Aug 16. - The Irish farmer in the past has been in the habit of growing excellent oats. The oats are then exported to Scotland and imported back again to Ireland in the form of oatmeal for his food and of by-products as food for his cattle. The thrifty Scotchman makes handsome profit out of it.
 The war promises to change this very uneconomic Irish method and induce the Irish farmer to do better for himself. In many districts grain mills are being erected in Ire land. About seventy cooperative societies have now oat mills and flour of their own. One society of Sir Horace Plunketts organization in Berry borrowed two thousand pounds from the bank, started a mill and worked the grain to the ut most extent so that the members ob- tained flour for their families and feeding stuff for their cattle and pigs. The result is unprecedented prosperity in the district. <
 The old great milling business of Ireland was lost to the country because the millers would not change | their methods and use up-to-date machinery and plant, Now there is a healthy change of feeling stimu- lated by the needs of the war.

UNIVERSITY LAND
BOARD WILL BUY
FARGO BONDS AT
FOUR PER CENT.
Is Best News Board of
Education Has Heard,
Ladd Tells Taxpayers
FARGO SCHOOL PLANS
SHOWN ON CURTAIN
Well Lighted Class Rooms,
Spacious Halls and APP
pOintnnents Listed

I am going to tell you the best
news the board of education has
heard since it launched plans for the
new school," said DR.. e. F. Ladd
president of the board, in an intro
.ductory address to 500 Fargoans
assembled to hear a discussion of
the plans of the proposed new grade
and high school building by w. b.
Ittner, st. Louis architect, in the
Fargo auditorium Tuesday evening,
The university land board, at a
meeting at Bismarck attended by
the governor, the attorney general
and the state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction, voted to buy Fargo's
school bonds at four per cent, which
will mean a. saving Of $500 a year
to the Fargo taxpayers.
In ten years this saving will
amount to $4,000, or enough to
nearly construct a ward school"
A st. Paul bank had previously
offered to pay 101 for the 5h per
cent bonds, which the board pro-
posed to issue.
DR.. Ladd outlined the history of
the Fargo schools, declaring that
with the growth Of the city a new
school was needed each three years.
The older schools, he said, were sad
ly out Of date for educational pur-
poses, and that if Fargo is to hold
it's place in education in North Da-
kota ii should not let down on its
school building program.
DR.. Ladd said that of the ten larg-
er cities Of the state, none was pay
ing a lower school tax than Fargo,
and added that an additional $240,-
600 in bonds would not materially
raise the tax rate.
Ettner Tells Of School.
DR.. Ladd introduced w. b. Ittner,
st. Louis, to the audience, with the
statement that he was the best post
ed man in America on school build
ings.
Mr.. Ittner, after quoting authori-
ties to the effect that the erection Of
schools should not be discontinued
because of the war and speaking
generally on schools as regards san
itation, lighting and adaptability,
launched into an explanation OF
plans of the Fargo school, shown on
a curtain by stereopticon slides.
