DECLARES DIVIDEND

The directors of the Sterling
Townsite company declared their
second dividend recently, this one
being stock dividend of $4,000
and closed up their business.
About 80 per cent of the stock
holders were at the meeting, and by
unanimous vote they decided to
make a division of the remaining
property and deed lots to the in
dividual owners under the plan sub
mited by the board. Lots were
classified according to value, and
each stockholder received enough of
the lots to make up his or her share
OF the total value of the property,
and after the division was COM
pleted, those who preferred to have
their lots all together, exchanged
among themselves until they accom-
plished it. Everybody seemed sat-
isfied with the management and the
division, and in free-for-all dis
cussion Of the outlook for the
future, all were rather optimistic,
not of the Immediate future, but of
the conditions that may be expected
after we recover from the present
slump.
History Of Townsite
When the Aberdeen branch rail-
road was built in 1910, some of the
leading men of the community or
ganized corporation, bought 120
acres Of land half way between

sold and q number were donated for
school and church purposes and city

about 100000, largely on the in
stallment plan. The following

done and q great many ornamental

opinion that aboutfShalfs of s.them

REQ SPEED WAGON
MAKES CITIZENS
Where School Districts Are
Consolidated Auto Steps in
and .SOlUes Problem

"The consolidated school is a means
Of making better citizens, because it
gives the country boy or girl a first
class education as a central lnstltu-
ton, instead of a meagre and poor
education as a rural schoolhouse tend
ed by an underpaid school teacher" "
says Charles N. Merral1s.
The essence Of ! the consolidated
school plan is that children from q
wide district around shall be hauled
every morning and taken back at
night. This means that transportation,
cheap, punctual and comfortable, IS
the key to the scheme,-at which
point the REQ Speed Wagon steps
in with the key. For instance:
In former years most of the
schools around Cirarron, (Gray Coun-
ty), Kansas, were poorly attended
In one district the directors thought
they could afford to pay but a small
salary to a teacher, with the result
that the only one who would take the
Job was entirely untitled for it. She
had but two pupils. Some families in
this observed district gave up their
farms and moved to town, desperately
resolved that their children should
not grow up in ignorance.
And now what a change!
Consolidation has b1otted out the
little, old, primitive rural schOol-of-
tentimes wretched affair despite all
the sentirnentality about the "littlc
red schoolhouse"-and big, modern
institution at Cimarron is giving the
bows and grils of the region a real
education, fitting them to be success.
full men and wonderland good Amer
ican citizens.
Transportation did it all. Because
there is concentration of pupils, due
to transportation, some OF the Cml-
arron teachers draw $187.50 a month
none less than $125, and in addition
make "on the side" from $40 to S2I

.SEELEY BANK
WILL NOT open
Efforts to Refinance the InSti-
tuition Fail After Strong

SEELEY,. Feb. 11.-As a timely
illustration of the old-time legend
that "The best laid plans Of mice and
men gang aft aglee", the strenuous
efforts Of the citizens bank rejuvenat-
ing committee came to sudden con-
Iclusion when it was announced that a
banker, who had agreed to furnish
sufficient funds to complete the sub
scription to the bank stock,-provlded
a certain amount was subscribed ana
in hand,-had declined, at the last
monet, when, it is said, the bank was
ready to open its doors again.
To say the townsfolk were disap-
pointed would be putting it mildly.
They were discouraged, to think that
the object of vital interest to them
all-the reopening of their bank, IN
which nearly all are depositors should
fail in it's accomplishment, when the
goal was almost within their reach.
So the bank, instead of opening its
doors, passes into the hands OF the
receiver who was appointed week
ago, but who had not formally been
placed in charge, awaiting the very
encouraging reports of the committee
on SuDSCTlUtiOuS W tiS oeOSh' u -
