Special to the Heraldl

Bristol July IS. - Douglass Warner. who has perfected & plan for cooling theaters, office buildings and apartment houses by means of d circulating water system, evidently believes in keep ing cool himself.
 When the sun was at it's zenith yesterday, spray arrangement was sprinkling water on the roof of Mir. Warmers home on Middle street, East Bristol. The device consisted of two long horizontal pipes. equipped with sprays on the ends. which kept revolving at a rate sufficiently fast to keep all sections of the roof wet at all times.
 The water cooling system. on which Mir. Warner has secured a patent is 10 be installed in the Cameo theater, this city, it is un- derstood. MT. Warner some time ago requested permission from the city council to pipe water from Clayton's pond on Union street to the Cameo building on Main street for this purpose.

Owing to a misunderstanding dur .ag a conversation yesterday the Errlin reportrr Of the Herald mislo catcd. in sense. the site Of the pro- uosed ci9ht-room school building which Las been recommended by me school board and approved by tn" france board. We hasten 10 correct this error In the story of yestef- day it was stated that the land to he purchased is at the corner or Grove Hill and Alling streets This Is correct In discussing the Slt'ta- lion, however, the reporter und'r- rtood his informant to say that 'ne Iand was situated directly opposite a plot already bought for school purposes and rejected by the voters, This was in error. the lntormaht meant that the plot was opposite the present grammar school ReSponSl- bili1v for the error is squarrly upon the shoulders of the reporter.
 The action of the school board m selecting the site near the grammar school plant, in a more central b. cation than had hitherto been pto- uosed and which had met with great oppositlon from several factions in thr Berlin district. should do a great deal to smooth away any a"i- mositirS which have existed IL Is quite natural that parents should wish to have their childrcn'S school house located as close to th"lr homes as possible. II is also natural that thoy should wish healthy we'll favored sites. The school hoAri feels that the new site will sjttlSiN lho greatest possible number or Notcla. as 1t Is near the center ni .rhooI population as if can be. ht "ourS" every voter cannot have q ."hool building in his hack yard. or across rhe highway.

 A~ain the Herald reiteratcs it's re- ret at having created a misundrr- landing among Berlinites in mi9lo- utng the school and hopes that its rror w;ll b" NHrdoned.

Pardon C. Hickey of the finance board stated this morning. If the addition were built at the kensing- ton grammar school. there would be at least 5000 square feet of play ground taken away from the pupils besides bringing an additional num- bcr of pupils from other parts of the town 10 the school. The plans for the new building have been com pletcd and will offer 10 th- pupils additional courses, required by the state board of education. in manual training and domestic science, which have been denied them by the lack of space and rooms in the past
 Mir. Hickey stated that visits b modern buildings in other parts of the state have been very eniighten- ing as to the benefit of the courses in manual training. The rooms equipped for the courses in domestic science and manual training have been an induCement to the phpils of the upper grades, as they h we some chance to learn a trade and 10 know what they wish to do and what they have an ability to do ill after life.

Minnesota Man Has
4-Ear Corn Stalk
Gle Sueur Center LEADER

lie Sueur Center LEADER
The stalk of corn with four fine
and well developed ears, which
was brought in for exhibit by J.
A. Vroblosky last week, has been
attracting much attention and
causing a lot of comment. Old
Timers, who have seen a lot of
corn, say they never saw one like
it. B. B. Zimmerman, local agri-
cultural teacher who is a native
of Iowa where the big corn is sup
posed to grow, and who has seen
many specimens in various parts
around schools and colleges, says
he never heard of one before like
the LeSueuer county product. 1t
looks like Mr.. Vroblosky is posi-
ton to claim, without competition,
the corn championship in the line
for all of Minnesota, and maybe
then some.
Of this happened in Montana
folks would not believe it back
east, but we happen to know the
Leader man is honest though dem
ocratic.)

Pedestrians, Cars Have
Equal Highway Rights

Helena, Oct. 16.-Pedestrians
and automobiles have equal rights
in the use of the highways and,
where two alternatives are pre-
sented to a pedestrian as modes
of escape from a collision with
an approaching automobile, either
of which might be chosen by an
intelligent and prudent person,
the law will not hold him guilty
of negligence in either case, the
Montana supreme court ruled to-
day. 1t sent back to the district
court of Cascade county for trial
an action by John McKeown of
Great Falls against Campbell Will
duff.
McKeown was struck by Kill
duffs a and brought suit for
damages, alleging that Kilduff was
negligent in operation of the ma
chine. McKeown was crossing
third street in Great Falls on Gen.
trail avenue. Kilduff was driving
on Third when the accident oc-
cured. The court granted motion
for non-suit, dismissing the action
and McKeown appealed.
