ORLANO SCHOOL
OPENING WEDNESDAY
AN INTERESTING PROGRAM FOR
DEDICATION OF NEW 500, 900
BUILDING

All arrangements have been fully
completed for the dedication of the
new Orland consolidated school
building that is located eight miles
south and three miles west of Ma
Olson.
This twelve room school plant was
finished just recently by James Ro-
bertson the building contractor. The
designs and specifications were sup
piled by Architect U. l.. Freed, of
Watertown. Everything has been
supplied in the way of equipment to
make this school the center for some
real rural training for the boys and
girls of Orland township. The heat
ing plumbing and ventilating was
all done by X. III. Mayfield of this
city. The business men of Madison
supplied the curtain for the audi
torium stage that has also an ex-
cellent set of scenery and a picture
booth.
The new school building stands of
knoll and gives a com inanuing
view miles distant. The plot of
ground is well drained and contains
besides the new school building a
janitor's home and a large garage
The building is of pressed brick and
was started July 10, 1920. The
coal bunkers are on the lot outside
where also are a cistern and a good
we'll. For evening entertainments
and social gatherings electric lights
will be used since the board went to
the expense of installing an individ-
ual lighting system.
The school has at its head Prof
C. K. Warden and a corps of nor
NAL trained teachers who are devot-
ing their efforts towards making the
Orland consolidated stand out as q
big success as one of Lake county's
educational institutions.
The dedication exercises begin al
$500 p. m. Wednesday, January 26
at which time free supper on the
cafeteria plan will be served to the
public until eight o'clock when the
program proper takes place in the
auditorium. All visitors are re-
quested to inspect the plant and en-.

CHANGE LAWS ON
SURFACED ROADS
CLAY COUNTY MEMBER FINDS
SOME CHANGES ARE
NECESSARY

Pierre, Jan. 24.-Further plans to
help the state in the development
of hard surfaced roads in South Da-
kota are being made by Represen-
tative w. C.. Bryant of Clay county.
Two years ago Mr.. Bryant succeed
ed in getting a bill passed along this
line, but he has found that some
changes are necessary before the law
can become of any great material
value.
Under the new plan Mr.. Bryant
has evolved, the exact proportion to
be paid by those deriving benefits
will be apportioned and paid by
ing from those within a three mile
radius on each side of the road, rs
per cent by the state, and 25 per
cent by the county.
Zones for the roads have been es-
tablished, extending three miles on
each side of the road, or six miles
in width altogether Concreted
roads may be put in by the county
commissioners if rs per cent of the
taxpayers living within this radius
petition for the work, and if over
SO per cent petition, the commits
sioners are compelled to go ahea6
with the work This applies to
trunk highways only.
For county roads, the work may
be obtained by the same process, the
county paying one-half and the tax
payers within three miles radius
paying the other half by assessment
according to the benefits derived b.
each.
1t is believed that this plan viii
give the state workable law thai
will enable any locality that so IA
vors it to get hard surfaced roads
without waiting for the state pro
gram to function.

Has One Occupant

Mitchell, Jan. 24.--There is now
but one occupant left in the Davi-
son county poor house. The only
other inmate died Thursday. Thom-
as Tockett has beer an inmate of the
poor house for only short time.
He was 72 years old and came
here from England few years ago.
He had been employed on a farm
near the poor house, and was frugal
and saving. Several weeks ago
Tockett felt the end was near.
He had no relatives and no place
to go, so he deposited 500 and ap-
piled for admission to the poor
house.
Thursday when he was called for
breakfast Tockett failed to appear.
Investigation proved him dead.

comedy drama in the history of pic

are fairly pulling the house down.
Make 'em laugh, make EN- cry, make
'em thrill. d. w. Griffith said once
and the Yankee does all three super
latively. It's comedy has Charlie
Chaplin's brilliant aliveness and great
common human touch; it has light
