All Bismarck banks-Capital Sc.
cYrity, First Guaranty, Bismarck
Bank, City National and First Ma
tion-7were named repositories for
city funds by the city commission in
meeting last night.
= The banks, under the law, submit
ted bids for deposits. All were will
ing to accept city deposits and pay
2 percent interest on current ac-
counts and 4 percent on time de-
posits. Many country banks which
have felt the necessity of increasing
their deposits have bid a higher
rate of interest on time deposits of
public funds but the local banks, in
conformity with what authorities 8
recognize as sound principles of
banking, made no unusual effort to
secure the city deposits, being will
ing to accept them only at the usual
rates of interest.

what Relieved BY New
School
CHANGES TO FOLLOW

The new Riverview school, in the
western part Of the city, will be op-
ened after Christmas for the balance
Of the school year. The city school
board, in meeting yesterday after
noon in the First Guaranty Bank
building, decided upon this action.
Fifteen expected patrons of the
school appeared before the board
and strongly urged that the school
be opened. They argued that the
opening would be particularly necess
sary after the Christmas holidays,
when otherwise it would be neces-
sary for little children to go a long
ways to school.
The city board had considered not
opening the school during the re-
mainder of the year, as a matter Of
economy and because the increase
in enrolment in the central and
western part Of the city was not as
large as expected.
The new school will open on jan
uary Z. Grades from the first to
sixth, inclusive, will be taught in
four rooms on the first floor Of the
school, President Lenhart of the
board said. Two teachers now as
signed to the Will school will teach
in the new school, and two other
teachers will be added at the new
school.
The change will make possible the
reduction of the Will school from u
lO-room to an 8-room school. The
kindergarten will be moved from the
basement to the first floor and the
office room which has been used for
a school room will revert to its ori-
ginal purpose. 90 .,-.r a.

The furniture is a moot question.
Personally. I fail to see the reason for
the presence Of so much overstuffed
furniture in small residences. A divan
or sofa gives a legitimate excuse for
indulging this liking. If you have It.
but In small house please try and
have your taste for Overstuffed furni-
ture stop right there. l have seen fine
rooms, amply dimensioned in every
way, made difficult and uncomfortable
to live in merely because the furniture
was ,overlarge. We can be thankful
to our furniture manufacturers for
furniture which is amply strong and
yet full of grace; copies of the notable
furniture of the periods that are gone,
and which fit well in simple bunga-
low interior. Windsor chairs; replicas
Of the quaint maple furniture made
by our New England forefathers; Jaco-
bean furniture, in its simpler de.
signs-all these fit well with bungalow
requirements. And the simpler the
window draperies the better.
