Practically no one in the town of

some one who had a son, daughter,

No thought of rebuilding the
school or the securing of temporary
quarters for the balance of the school
year, was voiced. Parents of the
school children appeared not to take
the view that there was any Just
complaint which could be laid against
the county relative to the condition of
the school. Rather, they pointed out
that it was something which never
had happened before and probably
never would happen again, being

BIG WESTERN RAIL
|. MERGER FORECAST
Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and Burlington Would
Combine.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 10.-Con-
solidation Of the Great Northern. tho
Northern Pacific and the Burlington
railroads with an eventual extension
into California is forecast. says the
Herald Tribune today, in statement
made by Arthur CurtiSS James. at
st. Paul, where he went to attend a
meeting of the Great Northern direC-
tors.
Such a consolidation would embrace
! more than $4,000 miles of line with
a total capita fiza ton of S 800 600 900
The newspaper says that in reply To
a question of the representative of
Dow. Jones & Co.
Eventual Extension.
AS to whether his recent large pur-
chaSeS of Western Pacific stock indi-
Gated that through merger the Bur
| ington would run into San Francisco.
Mr. James said:
1.-The Burlington has been using the
Denver and Rio Grande and the West
srn Pacific for years to make a conneC-
ton with San Francisco. There is no
need for any more extension in that
direction. But | look to see eventual
ly the extension of the northwest lines
into California 1t was James j.
Hills dream when he built the Great
Northern and his visions generally
come true"
The Herald Tribune says:
"Nfr. James was quoted as express
ing the opinion that it is only ques-
ton of time until the two northern
roads and the Burlington will be
merged, and saying such a merger Is
the most logical thing to do, since II
will leave the northwest with two
great transcontinental systemS-the
consolidated northerns and the st.
Paul"
Called Mere Opinion.
Charles Donnelly, president or the
Northern Pacific. was quoted In dis
patch from st. Paul, Mimi, as SAYING
that Mr. James merely was expressing
an opinion in fOrecasting the rail
merger in the near future. His own
opinion, Mr.. Donnelly added, was that
the consolidation could not take place
until a change had been made i'll the
National Transportation act"
A merger of the Hill roads has been
discussed repeatedly in Wall Street
for years, and one that would leave
two large competing systems in the
northwest-the Hill combine and the
st. Paul. Should such a. merger take
place with the sanction cf the Govern
ment it is believed that the Western
Pacific would find itself in the combl-
nation. Mr.. James is a heavy stock
holder In the Western Pacific and the
Great Northern, and he is understood
| to be the largest individual holder or
stocks In the United States.

people now know how to make bet
ter use of leisure. AS leisure has in
creased. peoples minds have expanded
and their enjoyment of life has been
enhanced. Frequent holidays and
week ends, such as are possible under
the five-day week, stimulate their
needs and therefore their efforts to
obtain the wherewithal to supply the
needs. Thus industry and commerce
benefit by the growth of the peoples
margin of leisure.
You know business is one-half use.
If we always produced and never
used there could be no continuous
business. But when we apportion the
time between production and use we
are acting in accordance with the eco
nomic law.
I'VE have no leisure class in this
country. All the business Of the
wealthy would not support a single
industry. Our buying class is our
working class, and our working class
must also become our leisure class
if our immense production Is to be
balanced by consumption. Besides, 1t
is only just and human and progress

should use what they produce"
