OUR new SCHOOL
may Be HELD Up
THE DEVILS LAKE SCHOOL
SITUATION IS "A SERI.
GUS PROBLEM.

Attorney General Sveinbjorn john
son has rendered an opinion that the
board Of education of Devils Lake
has no legal right to issue 100000
worth Of bonds, voted by the people
last fall
The action to build new school
at Devils Lake was based ON the nr;-
mary amendment passed in 1920 in
creasing the bonding limit from 5
per cent to 10 per cent but this law
was overruled by attorney General
Lemke, and just recently by Mr..
johnson.
The city of Oakes sometime ago set
out to build new school under the
III per cent amendment, and move
ment is now under way for Oakes and
other cities interested to put the
case before the Supreme Court of the
state IN order to test the constitu-
tionalty of the law. It is hoped that
the new law will be upheld, for the
reason that a serious emergency ex-
lists In Devils Lake and other places
At the present time, classes are
being held in school easements. under
tie public library, and in a public
nall, on account of lack of school
room accommodations. The constant
increase in school enrolment is adj
ding to the boards problem.
Ihe school budget for the coming
year amounts to over 100000, but the
oa board can raise only a little over
$4,000 by taxation.
In order to reduce expenses, the
board. may have to eliminate the
manual training and domestic science
courses.

ditions have kept vines and shrubs
growing prodigiously. There are

be materially beautffied IL placed in
the hands Of landscape architect.
Representatives Of the various nur-
have men out doing this work who
can be had at reasonable rates
where stock is purchased in suffi-
cient quantity to justify the ex-
pense. Sibley Park, Washington

Of what can be accomplished in

The committee recently appointed

HAVE YOU $4S. ss7
Your Share Of The Money Circula
ton In United States.

Your Share of The Money cireula-
ton In United States.
If you possess, either in your
pocket, sock or favorite bank, more
than $48. .89, Mr. Reader, you have
no business knicking about a lack
of money. For If all the money in
circulation in the United States were
equally distributed today, your share
would be exactly that amount. These
interesting figures were announced
officially last week by the Treasury
department at Washington as the
per capita circulation on May l..
And it is interesting also to note that
the amount is 90 cents less than 1t
was on April /. Total money of all
kinds in circulation, according TO the
report, is $5,352 2,255, ,730. On April
/ it was $5,466, ,161 ,844. On May J.,
1921, the total in circulation was
S6,15S,170,819. The per capita figures
are based on an estimated popula-
ton of los. 1853 900. In 1879 the to-
tai amount Of money in circulation
was only $S16,266,721. At that time
the country with a population Of
1921, 900 had a per capita circula-
ton of 1852. So now, II you have
$50 consider yourself pfutocrat. =.

Condition of Crops
Never Was Any Better
Report Is Submitted By H. j
Wagon of Northwestern
al Railway.

Winona, June 12.-With the addi-
tional moisture received the past
week crop conditions along the line
of the Chicago and North western
road are more favorable than in
previous years at this time and
with favorable weather and occa-
sional rains from now on good yields
OF all grains can be anticipated,
according 10 the weekly crop bulle-
tin for Southern Minnesota territory
issued here today by H. J. Wagon,
division freight and passenger agent.
The report says:
weather the past week has been
seasoaahle temperature ranging
rom 65 TO 80 good breezes prevail
mg, and light to carry rains
throughout the entire territory of
Minnesota and Dakota, which came
at the opportune time.
The past week could be consider
ed very favorable for crop condi-
tions, with the moisture received
that was needed. A special report
received and from personal obser-
yation nade by the writer in cover
ing the territory the following sit
uation in detail is indicated:
Crops from Huron to Blunt north
to Gettysburg and east to Faulkton
very good with the exception OF
some pieces of wheat and rye that
were stubbied in. All good farming
was In good shape but east OF
Fanlhton and north of Miranda
there was some poor crop on ac-
NJ
crops south of Miranda and east
of Reffe4d very good; Redfeld to
Houghton south to Groton fair; in
territory Donald to Groton where
they had an extremely heavy rain a
month ago the ground was a some
what baked, but rains of the last
two days will improve the condi-
dons in that district! The situation
from Donald to Redfield south to
Huron Is very good, also Huron east
to Bookings and north to Water
town the conditions could not be
improved.
In the entire Western Minnesota.
and this would also apply to our
entire line east to Winona, the con
ditions have not been better in Sc
veral years. Rye is filing in good
shape generally and with favorable
weather the cutting will begin with
in the next ten days or two weeks.
A good yield is assured, and with
the increased acreage and heavy
stand will produce better than an
average yield
Corn is making wonderful pro-
gress and the majority of it has
been cultivated for the first time.
First cutting of alfalfa is now quite
general and good results are being
obtained. Wild and tame hay are
above the average for this time of
the year.
with the additional moisture re-
ceiyed the past week the situation
is more favorable than in previous
years at this time, and with favor
able weather snd occasional rains
now on throughout the territory
good yields Of all garins can be an
ticipated."

scarcely reached Mankato when
a gallant young man, charmed
by their appearance and abund
ance Of tan, asked the pleasure
Of taking them out to dinner.
The ladies graciously accepted
the offer.
That the guns carried by the

In his auto on New Mexico

before they entered the car.
The ladies have q letter of
