President Coolidge has announced

that the weekly cabinet meeting will
be done away with and that in lieu
of it the cabinet members will get
together only when called by the pre-
sident, and he will call them only
when he feels the matter at hand is
of sufficient Importance to require the
attention of the entire cabinet. The
president is probably right in feeling
that there is no need of a weekly cab
met assembly to discuss routine af-
fairs, leaving the head of the depart
ment Immediately concerned to solve
most of the ordinary affairs of his de-
partment. The president is probably
right and along this line it might be
said that the waste of time in NUM-
cipal, state and national affairs, to
say nothing of civic organizations,
church organizations, ETC., where an
entire board chews for hours over
something that one man, or a com
mittee could best handle, is beyond
computing.

MOST DANGEROUS THING IN THE

Reacting from the depression of the

talking of the unconquerable spirit of

some time the earth's crust will have

has been disregarded by a

in a crisis like the present, do no
positive harm. We can

WAR INSURANCE CAN
BE EASILY RESTORED

1t will be news to many World
War veterans to learn that the u.
S. Veterans Bureau has inaugural
ed a reinstatement campaign tor
the benefit of those who, either
through misunderstanding or in
ability to meet premium payments,
have permitted their term (war
time) insurance to lapse.
1t is announced that no matter
how long time has passed since
the last premium was paid, an eX-
service man may easily renew his
term (war time) insurance contract
if he is in good health, or if he is
disabled, provided the disability
from which he is suffering is due
to service and is not of total and
permanent nature. Veterans VIII
be particularly interested in learn
ing that they may reinstate $1,000
or any higher amount, in multiples
of $500, or the amount of insur-
ance they carried while in the SER
vice. 1t will also be of interest to
the public to know that over $780,
900 of the men who applied for in
surance during the war have. con-
tinued their policies in force and
that these ex-service men and wo-
men are carrying insurance protec-
ton amounting to the enormous sum
of over 100000. 900.
The reinstatement requirements
have been made most liberal; IN
fact, if an ex-soldier is in good
health it is only necessary for him

BOND ELECTION
CARRIES BY 100.
SATURDAYS ELECTION RESULT.
ED IN FAVOR OF BONDS
FOR THE NEW SCHOOL.

Only $50 votes were cast in the
election Saturday to bond District
No. IL in the sum of 100000 for
the purpose of erecting new school
building. The vote cast is less than
half of the voting strength of the
district and is a sad commentary on
the interest taken by the average
voter in the financial affairs of the
district. When nothing was at stake
but the elevation to the school
board of some favorite candidate,
nearly 1900 people crowded to the
polls. When an important matter
of providing a million dollar school
for our children is at stake, paltry
$50 come out to vote. The bond
election carried on a vote of 1872
for and 292 against the measure.
Plans for the building have al
ready been supplied by Architect
Bray of Duluth and have been ex-
hibited in the Drug Store window

be pressed brick, 209 feet square,
