Dakota will start March /. Some
preliminary work has already been
dore among the Jewish people in Mi

10000 among themselves.
The quota for McHenry, Ward,

L. F. Kaufman of Chicago, state
organizer, spoke in Minot recently and
explained the necessity for bringing
relief to the Jewish people in kus-
sia. Countless thousands are starv-

of 1900 bodies in one heap awaiting
burial and other pictures showed the
thin skeletons of the starving almost
ready to die.
The Jews are shipping the orphaned
children of both Jew and Gentle to
other countries where they may have
a chance to live. A hundred children
were recently sent to Argentina.

Peter Fugelso Tells Why Another
School Building is Badly Needed

Being member of the Board of
Education | have been asked by citi-
zens of our city regarding needs and
facts about the proposed school build
ing in the northeast part of the city.
Will briefly state the following facts:
High school attendance has doubled
in the last four years. When the
new high school was completed in
1919 the large library room at the
rear of the assembly room was left
unfinished. In 1920 same was con-
verted into 3 class rooms and also
the book-room into another class room.
In order to take care of the fast
increasing school population 7 class
rooms in the High School building
We're converted into grade rooms.
1920 temporary building was erect
ed for ione grade at the Sunnyside
school which is now filled to capacity.
Mckinley school has rooms now,
it has 10 grades or rooms, conducting
2 grades in the basement which was
not intended nor built for that pur-
pose. The school authority closed
these basement rooms at Mckinley
school in 1920 and tried to have the
pupils adjacent to this school go over
to Lincoln school but there was a
great opposition to this, so the Board
Of Education decided to open again the
basement of the Mckinley school for
this school year: This basement in
my Judgment is not fit place to have
school rooms but the very best which
could be done under the over-crowded
condition. -
In my opinion the Board Of Educa-
tion is at the end of heir resources
for adequate school facilities for the
ever increasing school population,
. therefore, we put it up to the people
i of Minot, who, am sure, have the
| welfare Of the children and the school
facilities for their education at heart,
, will vote for bonds to erect this pro-
posed school which will relieve the
! congestion at the Mckinley, Sunnyside
and Minot High Scnool for the time
being.
This bond will be used, and cannot
be used for any other purpose, except
for building of a school house and its
equipment and necessary repairs on
other school houses in the city, if
:, need be. Therefore, l urge every
body to lay any selfish motive aside
considering first the greatest COM
munity need to keep our school func.
tioning and vote for the proposed
bond February. oath, inst.
Yours truly,
PETER FUGELSO.

Despite the fact that there has been
aut little money in farming during the
q3ast year or two, the Independent is
advised that many farmers are having
q hard time finding farms to rent for
The coming season. John P. O'Leary,
Foxholm banker, states that in his
immediate vicinity, five good farmers
are looking for half section farms.
The owners are moving back onto
%the;r farms and the renters must hunt
up new homes. Many farmers put in
large crops of rye last fall, and a
great deal Of fall plowing was done,
which enables them to crop more land
the coming season. 1t is predicted
generally that farming is coming back
this year with a bang. The price of
horses is much better. Cattle are
looking up. See what rye has done
The past few weeks. Wheat is bet
ter price. The price of all farm
products is looking better right along.
And the best of all, our farmers are
sticking like good fellows and are
planning on going into poultry, pota-
toes, corn and cows stronger than
ever. Keep your eyes on the North
Dakota farmers. They'll be the most
prosperous of any in the United States
before very long.
