CUTTING THE COST OF EDUCATION

Every qualified voter within School District No. As will go to
the voting place Ghe high school bunding) Saturday, May "a, and
cast a vote for the special levy of Is mills to make it possible for
district, if he or she is a true friend of liberal, public school edu-
cation for our children.
There is no need of entering into a discussion on the value of
education. The remarkable advancement made in educational facn-
tiles, in recent years, especially in the West, is proof that people
are ready and anxious to give their children the best education they
demand trained minds and high intelligence as aids to success.
Another thing on which all are agreed is that we want to keep
the cost of education down to the lowest figures that are consistent
with satisfactory results. But do we want to be penny wise and
pound foolish? District No As has built up and organized n edu-
cational plant which is functioning smoothly and achieving results
in size and resources. To put the schools of the district where they
are the taxpayers have spent large sums and have contracted to
pay other sums. Having made these investments and contracted
these obligations for the welfare of our children, will we go through
with the job in businessike manner or will we, through short
sightedness or listening to bad advice, cut down revenues and render
the schools only partly efficient? To cripple the schools would
increase the cost of education in two ways. The educational plant
of the district could not pay dividends OIL the investment, a s it now
does, and still greater obligations in the way of interest would be
piled up to be paid later.
Let every true believer in education at the lowest possible cost
vote at the special election on the oath. But before they go to the
problems written by Supt Frank H. Livingston. No one is more
competent to throw light on the subject than he. The article win
be found on the front page of this issue.

Local Boy Wins Track
Honors For Minnesota u

Fred LaRoque, a former Wolf
Point high school athlete, is go
ing strong this season on the Uni
versity of Minnesota track team.
LaRoque took second in the low
hurdles and third in the high hur-
dies against Wisconsin in their
recent meet at Madison. 1t will
be remembered that the Badgers
won the big ten conference cham
pionship last year, and with the
loss of few letter men, they are
at present one of the chief con
tenders for the top place this
year.
LaRoque showed consistent
class by taking first in the high
hurdles against Northwestern.
This should be an inspiration
to the local athletes, who look
forward to getting into college
competition later.

Auxiliary Will Sell
Crimson Poppies May "a

The American Legion Auxiliary
Will sponsor a sale of crimson
crepe paper peoples for the bene-
fit of disabled soldiers on Satur-
day, May "a. They will also have
on sale windshield stickers. High
school girls will assist Auxiliary
members in the sale.
1t may be of interest to peo-
pie to know that the peoples
which will be sold here this year
were made by soldiers in the
veterans hospital at Boise, Idaho,
and the names of the workers
are found on the boxes in which
the poppies are packed. The sale
of these poppies is general all
over the United States and the
peoples are being made in forty
vetrans hospitals in rs different
states.
The proceeds from the sale of
these paper flowers aid in purch-
asing many comforts for the dis
abled veterans. Part of the mon
ey from the sale is retained by
the local Auxiliary and part goes
to the men who made the pop
pies. Buying a poppy on May "a
is an easy way to show ones
gratitude and appreciation for
what the soldiers did for the
country in the World War.

FLASHES OF NEWS
FROM EXCHANGES

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. suicide
was the verdict of the coroner's
jury when they had heard all the
circumstances surrounding the
death of G. G. Estell, rancher. He
threatened suicide, just as he had
done numerous times before, to
intimidate his wife, and left the
house carrying a small rope. This
suicide stuff was an old story to
her and she did not become
alarmed until he remained away
from the house longer than US
ual. Searching she found his body
hanging from a rafter in the
granary. She cut the body down
and tried to revive him. He was
dead. The rope had not been tied
to the rafter, merely thrown
loosely over it, but by some freak
was thrown in such a way that
when weight was put on it it
held. The tale is a new variation
of the old wolf. wolf story.
Neutrality-suspicious. on the heels
of the announcement that Hoover
will spend his vacation motoring
through the national parks, has
come a flood of invitations to
him to speak at various places
along his route or to take part
in various celebrations. If he &C
cepts the invitations he'll lose
his vacation and if he doesn't
accept them he'll lose chances to
set the republican party right
with the west. It's a strenuous
job, this being president.
West Point-Christ Keener Ca
gle, red-headed football star of
the West Point team, resigned
from the school by request, when
it was learned that he had been
married, contrary to the rules of
the school, narly two years ago.
Marriage in general is not taboo,
but it's among the prohibitions
at West Point, and that's that.
Oslo, Norway-Dr. Fridtjof
hansen, famous Arctic explorer
and humanitarian, died here Tues
day at the age of IS. He came of
family of national fighters who
in the 18th century robbed the
nobility of their powers in Nor
way. He is best known for his
numerous Arctic explorations, but
has engaged considerably in pol
tiles. During critical trouble be-
tween Norway and Sweden in
1905 which resulted in the sep
aration of the two countries and
the establishment of Norway as
monarchy, he was active in
politics and in 1906 was minister
to England from Norway. In 1921
he was made a member of a COM
mission whose work was to work |
out a scheme for relief of the
millions of starving Russians. He
also interested himself in the
work of relieving the distress of
peoples of other countries injured
by the World war.
