Attendance at Night School Doubled.

If there IS any person in the city
Of Milbank that doubted the neces-
sity Of night school in which
Americanizatjon and even the first
principles Of education should be
taught, sufficient proof is furnished
by the fact that the attendance at
the second meeting was more than
double the attendance of the first
night.
One Of the volunteer teachers was
astounded to learn that there were
four men who had never srent one
day inside Of school room and who
could neither read nor write. Such
conditions in Mifbank are positively
unbelievable
81 could rot conceive Of such
condition., said this instructor,
MIR Guine and Mr.. Greeley. .advo.
cate the night school last year and
said the need for it was serious, but
! certa MY did not realize the des-
perate necessity until last Saturday
evening. >
There We're seven men at the first
meeting and seventeen at the meet
ing last Saturday evening. The in
crease is undoubtedly due to the
publicity which it has been given
and the efforts of those who attend
ed the first meeting.
The pupils have been classified
and placed in groups as they are
best fitted. Miss Johnson county
superintendent. Miss Leavitt. assist
ant superintendent. Mr.. Orr, school
principal, and Robert d. Jones,
attorney are the list Of instructors
which are in charge at present. I'll
the school grows in size during the
next few meetings as it has since
the start, additional instructors will
have TO be recruited.
Miss Geneveive Anderson, assist
ant state ion officer
a n d Mr. j. 2. Greeley, Fed
eraI examining officer were in the
city making this district, and both
gave talks to the school. Miss !
has done wonderful work
in organizing and helping schools
the state ami it was
fortunate that she happened to be
in the city at this time. Mr.. |
Greeley was the officer who eyam;n-
ed the applicants for naturalization
papers at the last term of court and I
who urged that school be es-
tablished to help Il ese men to learn
the American language and the
American government.
Miss Johnson has group in ele-
mentary reading, divided into sev-
eral classes as there are a few who
gave some knowledge Of it. Miss
Leavitt has, the pennmanship' and
writing class. Mr.. Orr is giving a
course in history and clvics, taken
from the grade school books SO that
the beginner is able to understand /
it. Mr.. Jones has the class in gov
ernment principles and forms. He /
gives lecture to the class and also /
gives them typewriter copy of it !.
SO that they are able to give it /
more thoro study at home.
1t was voted to meet every
Wednesday and Saturday evening
instead of once week. In this
way they will be able to accomplish
twice AS much in the time before
the mex term Of court at which
time several will have to appear
for second examination.

Pay Day; March |.
FlfSf Payments Involves Large Sums
OF Money; Many New Residents
for County.

conservative estimates placed up.
on the amount Of money, mortgages
and certificates which changed hands
IN the city and vicinity on March |
was placed at more than $1,000,
coo by the banks and land men.
NO estimate Of the number of
deals made could be found but this
amount Of money involved the pay
ments on deals made during the
past year, either first or second
March first has been made the
date for the actual transfer Of the
deeds or titles Of farm land in most
deals because of the fact that at
that time is the beginning Of a
farm year. Land is sold with a
payment at the time Of taking
possession, with other payments to
suit the purchaser. Many of the
farmers in Grant county viii have
new owners or tenants this year.
having char ged hands during the
past few months. The highest
price paid for land is well UP to-
ward the $3.50 mark, with an aver
age Of value throughout the county
OF nearly S75 per acre. The tax.
able value Of land is placed. The
value Of the average acre will sky
rocket this coming year and possib-
ly hit the 500 mark.
The new road program which the
county and state has under way,
the new bridges which the county
IS constructing throu ghout the
county and the genera! building
and Improvement program which
the farm and city has under way,
will all tend to make the value of
the farm greater and cause prices
to raise.
The proposed co nsoliCated school
movement will give an additional
value to farm homes in the county
and make them more attractive.
The high prices Of land elsewhere
is direct and visible cause for the
high ,ue of land here. An acre
in the southern part Of the state is
valued at from 5000 to $3.50 per
acre. Iowa, Minnesota. Wisconsin
and Illinois farmers are selling their
farms 1T fabulous prices. ranging
from $3.50 to 500 and 500 per acre.
They are moving into this country
and buying a farm and home for
less tn; n one half Of he money they
received for the property which
they sold. A solid train!oad Of
immigrant cars from the southern
part of the state, carrying the
effects of dozen settlers is due to
arrive in Grant county sometime
during the next week. They are
bound for farms in Grant county
and southern Roberts county, hav-
ing bought land through Twin
Brooks and Mibank land men. A
large number of new residents have
been coming to the county in the
past two months, taking possession
of the farms and property which
they have purchased.
A great share Of the amount of
money and securities which chang
ed hands on Monday has stayed in
the county. Local men have paid
other local men, and a larger per-
cent uf the balance has been
brought into the county then has
been paid out for land or property
This additional increase
Of residents and wealth Will add to
the prosperity of the county and
much larger boom is predicted for

Monthly Legion Meeting

The monthly meeting of Birch
Post was held Tuesday evening at
the court house. The regular Iou-
tine Of business was carried out,
bulletins from the state head
quarters read and letters from
Senator Sterling and Royal C. john
son reported about.
The letters were in response to
telegrams sent urging them to sup
port the bonus proposition giving
eN-service men $50 for each month
Of service. Royal Johnson approv-
ed Of the bin but was giving his
full time and support to a bill
which he introduced giving Sl.0O
per day for service. Senator Sterl-
ing replied that inasmuch as the
national debt was many billions and
that this additional burden amount
ing to nearly 2 billion would not be
wise, he could not support 1t. The
Post then voted to send a letter thru
the commander stating that mas
much as each and every service man
expected to have to bear share of
the National debt reg ardless OF the
fact that while he was working for
$50 per month while others who
would be taxed for the debt were
making from to 10 times that
amount, a bonus would give him
such help and assistance at this
time to get established IN busi
ness 60 that he could have a fair
chance to make a living in the fu-
ture. The amount of money and
time lost by every man who served,
aside from the wage, cannot be es-
timated and can never be recovered.
The Post does not look upon the
bonus as a reward for patriotic SER
vice, but as help. a boost to re-
gain the position which he might
have had, had he not answered the
call to the colors.
The membership campaign was
taken up and discussed. No plans
were made but every member was
urged to put his full efforts into
and pull together for a big increase.
The possibility Of Legion Hall
and Community House was also
discussed.
Several plans and propositions
were introduced. the donation fund.
the stock company plan and a
proposition to haze it city and
county bui ding with Legion rooms
and home init. Almost every Post |
has plans tor some building and |
home Revillo. in the southern
part Of the county will erect a

or Legion Houses.
Birch Post will take definite ac-
tion in the near future on the mat
ter chosen the plan which meets the
of the whole Post and the
community at large. Such a build
ing would not only serve as a home |
for the Legion but as a community |
gathering place, a club for the men
Of the city. and any other use it |
could be wanted for.
