PLANS APPROVED
FOR new CREAMERY
Articles Of Incorporation Adopted
and Officers Elected at Meet
ing Saturday

At the meeting called at the Court
house Saturday afternoon, plans for
the new cooperative creamery in
Willmar were discussed and passed
by the body of interested farmers and
dairymen present. r. C. Sletten,
chairman of the committee which has
been active on this project and ac-
complished successfully the prelim-
mary work, presided at the meeting
and introduced briefly what had been
done by the committee and it's recon-
mendations as to what should be done
at present and in the near future. Co.
Agent E. L. Rodegeb by chart talk
described the proposed creamery
building according to the architects
specifications.
Many matters relating to the crea-
merry situation in this part of the Co.
in particular were discussed. It .ap-
peared that there was entire accord
on what the committee had to pre-
sent and with the necessary capital
work could be started without further
delay. The question of finances nat
urally is a perplexing one and it was
deemed eNpedient to postpone the
construction Of the building until mo-
ney markets take on a more favor
able tone. All is ready however for
the erection of the building. Articles
of Incorporation were presented, dis
cussed and adopted by the body pres
ent. The election of officers resulted
as follows: President, R. c. Sletten,
Vice-President, Christ Freese, Secre-
ary, N. B. Lienes, Treasurer, T. o.
Sletten, and two directors, Clarence
Aarvig and P w. Peterson.
When the crops have been harvest
ed and marketed financial matters
may become more favorable and the
construction work can be done.

BOARD GRANTS
SALARY INCREASES
Majority Of Teachers viii Remain
AS Result Of Action of Board
Monday Evening

A special meeting of the Board OF
Education of our public schools was
held at the High School Monday even
ing and terminated with the decision
of it's members to grant the salary in
creases which the teachers in our
grade and High Schools are request
ing. The agreement came after
weeks of investigation Of the salary
question. Supt. Brohaugh and the
board have worked on the problem
ever since the teachers returned their
contracts with 90 per cent of them
unsigned.
The teachers had contended that
their salaries received during the past
year were not adequate to their just
needs and that higher salaries were
being offered at other schools.
Affairs had reached such a stage
and crisis that it was feared that the
majority of the teachers would be lost
for next term and that new material
would have to be contracted to fill the
vacancies. The news that the board
has reversed it's decisions as to SAL
ary increases is received with much
satisfaction by the teachers as the
greater number have found Willmar
and it's people pleasant and hospit
able
Now contract are haiug iSSued and
mailed to the teachers bearing the
new salary figures. 1t is expected
that the majority of these will be re
turned without much delay.

PAVING HEARING
: LAST DAY OF MAY
City Council Adopt. Resolution
Which Start. Paving
Proceedings

Monday night the City Council of
Willmar adopted by unanimous vote
a resolution outlining paving dist
rlct and calling for public hearing
of property owners interested, such
hearing to be held at the City Council
chambers on Tuesday evening. May
31st at 1880 o'clock. The district in
cluded extends from county paving to
county paving via Litchfield, 10th ST.
and Gorton Avenue, Pacific Avenue
from Second to Tenth Streets, Ben
son Avenue from Third to Sixth;
Third street from Pacific to Becker
Fourth Street from Pacific to Becker,
Fifth Street from Pacific to Trott,
Sixth Street from Pacific to Trott ave.
The amount of paving in this dist
rict would approximate $4,000 square
yards. The council will have the po-
wer after the hearing to omit any
part if in their judgment it is advisr
able If it is. decided to go ahead and
reasonable bids are received it is not
unlikely that the work can yet be done
this season. Paving construction
companies are out of work and keen
competition for the Willmar job is
anticipated.
Now it is up to those who want to
see pavement on Willmar's streets to
come to the hearing and say so. There
is little doubt that those who are op-
posed to paving will be there to ex-
press their views.

pills and Faculty Into Closer Ap- /
preciation Of Work Done

@~ Friday, May s, set aside as .eVfsit-;
or's Day" at our public schools went.
far beyond the most sanguine expect
ations as every school received its
throng Of visitors and admiring par:
ents and friends. The day was view
ed as most successful in that. the citi-|
zens of. Willmar showed themselves,
interested in the work of the schools,
and at the close of their inspections
felt that the institution was worthy
of the support of the people by good
word and otherwise. The OCCASION
gave the visitors an opportunity. to-
find out for themselves the value of;
the schools and the results which are
being obtained. Every department Of
our school system had on exhibition'
samples of its work. Much time had
been spent in making the displays as
attractive as possible. Every room
and hallway contained something of
the work done in the classrooms and
by the students. At the grade schools
in the city the work of the small chill
dren and of all grades was source
OF much enjoyment for the parents.
! It would be a mass of details and
items to- attempt to enumerate the
classes and variety of work displayed.
The displays showed that the students
have accomplished much during the
past year and the work has been
neatly done Much credit is due the
members of the faculty and Supt. Bro
haugh for their splendid efforts in be-
half of the school pupils and the pre-
paration for this Visitors Day which
we hope will become an annual event.
The visitors expressed themselves
as pleased with what they had viewed
and many compliments were received
by members of the faculty.
Registration records show that ov-
er 500 visitors visited the Central
group of buildings while an average
of eighty persons called at the other
grade schools in the city.
