~ Much interest Is being SHOWN IL

Emunity club At meeting Of tn
club Wednesday evening, plans wer,

good prospects of success. ,,,5 IA
"a Splendid progress on the hospita
project was reported, the pledges fol
stock in the : proposed institution
amounting to $4,000, not including
building site which has been donated
by Stephen A. Winden. ''' i .
Practically all subscriptions thur.
far received have been made volun-
tarily, showing a decidedly strong
sentiment for the proposition Il
was explained that an organized
campaign would add stimulus to the
movement and bring the institution
to the community in much quicker
time. With this in mind, a commit
tee was named to arrange for a stock
selling drive in the surrounding
country. The plan so successfully
followed in the liberty loan and other
wartime drives will likely be used.
The, road committee appointed
early in the month to encourage the
improvement of the road running
round the west shore of Pine Lake,
made it's report to the meeting. Al
ter a discussion of the report the
committee was instructed to continue
it's efforts to have the road repaired.
1t is not unlikely that the present
summer will see the highway put IN
good condition.
Several new members joined the
club, bringing the membership over
the half-hundred mark. Another
meeting will be held Wednesday eve
ming, April 28th, when it is planned
to feature a lunch and smoker.
Another important real estate
transaction was completed in Con-
wick Saturday whereby Frank A.
Norquist, cashier Of che First Ma
tional bank, purchased the Nettie
Gonvick farm, at the outskirts OF the
village. The consideration was $12,-
OOO.. =: = ~ 80 ~ :.
The farm contained 40 acres OF
which only q small part is under
cultivation. It - has considerable
standing timber and fair set Of build
ings. It is the intention Of Mr.. Nor
quist to move the spacious dwelling
from the farm to q site in. Jefferson
Park on which he had previously
planned to build q new home. The
deal marks the passing of d farm
from the hands of one pioneer to, an
other and is but another example OF
the high prices to which HON stead

arbitration principle, Mr.. Kaplan then
threw the meeting open for the dis
Scassion and expression of others

remarks on various phases of the
question, one stating that he was of
the opinion that it was now too late
to accomplish anything through a
committee. Mr.. Krog and Mr.. Highly
both spoke in. favor of a committee
4of arbitration, the former dwelling at
length on the objects the labor unions
were trying to accomplish. He ex-
pressed himself as not desirous of
seeing production curtailed but in
sisted that what the men wanted was
p shorter day. He could not under
stand why financially it was not pos
sible to operate the mills tproftably
on an eight-hour schedule. i J., ..

produce evidence that they could not
operate profitably on an eight hour
day if the workers would still insist
on it. Answers Of t.No"& came from

lowering educational require

.plus army can meet II The sng-
,gestion has developed an open
fight between advocates Of better
salaries and those who oppose
any Improvement in pay. The
former contingent asserts the
problem is not only one of keep
ying the too few good teachers
who have not already gone into
other work, but of offering q
salary which will interest young
men and women enough to bring
them into the teaching ranks as
the always necessary new ele-
lment-the automatic turnover as
the industrial expert would say.
The others retort that il is simp-
lv question Of having on hand
enough teachers without regard
to educational standards which
are branded as ridiculous. but
this is an untenable position in
1920. 1t will be an unfortunate
'day for the public schools when
