OPFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS 3 GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN. There are many who seem to think that a farmer is not entitled to the same basis of profit on his produce as the manufacturer in the city, or the same interest on his investment as the banker. It is a common opinion that the farmer cannot possibly be entitled to as much per hour for his labor as the mechanic, the plasterer, electrician or plumber. And why not? Certainly not because he does not have to serve his apprenticeship in learn- ing his trade; not because his produce is a luxury and therefore his labor not so essential as his city brothers; not because he does not work as faithfully for his return. No, it cannot be so. One basis of wages, one set of working hours, one percentage “of profit cannot be maintained for one class of laborers or tradesmen, and a lesser scale in another industry requiring equal skill and application. The farmer plants his seed and cultivates his ground, leaving the rest to “Him who sendeth the sunshine and the rain.” Very many times not only come the sunshins and rain, but the grasshopper and potato bug, and then the farmers’ war starts. He must be content with what he gets. He cannot go to his employer and say “I want a raise to meet jncreased expenses.” The farmer accepts all chances but the workman gets his wages in full and in regular intervals. The farmers’ tools are many and expensive—farm machinery, horses or tractors, cows, and buildings— he has to furnish them all—he has no employer to furnish them for him. His returns, if large, must be the result of large action. He cannot stop to argue whether he should start to work at 6 o’clock in the morning or 8 o’clock. If his wheat field is ready to be threshed he threshes it as fast as possible. » He is becoming organized, it is true, but no organized to stop working—rather to work more and into a greater degree of intelligence. Organ- jzed idleness results in increased cost for de- WHAT OTHERS SAY A POSSIBLE SOLUTION.” ‘Bemidji today is*facing the biggest problem ever placed on her hands, and that is the question of how to provide room for the education of her coming citizens, especially those of the High school. Many plans have been talked over, including the addition to the present High school building and the building, or starting to build, a new High school building on the present Central school grounds. ., Both of these plans meet with serious objecgions. The addition to the present High school building is fmpracticable because of the poor arrangement of halls and lighting facilities, and to make an addition to this building would mean the remodeling of certain parts of the. present building before the new addition could be built. Also due to the pres- ent over crowded condition. This addition would be immediately filled to its capacity and the city would again be confronted with the same proposi- tion as they are today, only with an additional $150,000 bond issue to pay up before another building could be built. Again, in building a new building on the present Central school grounds, it would take away the Central school which is needed to educate the grade children and which the present High school is not large enough to accommodate—if it were intended moving the Central school students to the High school building. The present High school is needed to accommo- date the junior high department, which has out- grown its present department and will soon require the entire High school building. The problem is a large one and hard to solve. Minneapolis faced the same situation some ten years ago, and solved her problem by the method I am about to explain. It proved a success in Min- —_— NAVAL RESERVES GET 6 WEEKS Boston, May 21.—A sixweeks cruise for officers and men of the Naval Reserve to Antwerp in July on the U. S.S. Frederick, and the annual enrollment of 20,000 reserv- ists to maintain the efficiencey of this. branch of the naval service, is part of the programme planned by the Bureau of Navigation, as outlined by Navigation, as outlined by Captain H. J. Zeigemeier, before the Reserve of- ficers association here. Captain Ziegeméier, after stating that the navy personnel was at a low ebb, declared that the onesyear period of enlistment of reservists would prove a big factor in the main- iaining of an efficient naval force yeady for immediate service in case of necessity. Captain James P. Parker, U. S. N. R. F., issued a call for ali reservists at present on the list of inactive duty to report as soon as possible to the brigade headquarters at the Navy Yard, as division units are now being made up for mobilization and drill _purposes. He further stated that the increase in pay which is allowed under the Naval Appropriation bill will mean that enlisted men will receive from $1.50 to $2 per drill. *“The mnavy offers an opportunity, - and especially an opportunity to the Naval Reserve,” he said. ““The cruise whichk we plan are instructive courses. intended that commission. There will be many. Eagle boats will have to be taken from Portsmouth to the Pacific, and 1t is the reserve officers and men will be given charge of these for practice cruises.” GIRL.

The cost of these bujldings was .small and took care of the cver-crowded conditions until funds could be secured to bujld a new building. When a new building was built these portable buildings were moved to another part of the city where the school was crowded, thus relieving the congestion there. So in Bemidji the same system could be applied. On the High school grounds five or six .of these buildings could be built to accommodate the present over-crowded conditions, which could provide new rooms for teachers now needed and also for the new industrial departments, which would giye the Central school more room, which is now taken up by two industrial departments. . Then when the new school is built these buildings could be moved to the Central school, North school and East school to relieve the crowded conditions which would be existing at those schools by that period. These buildings would be an asset and not a liability as would be an addition to the present High school buildings. With these buildings the crowdeg condition could be taken' care of until Bemidji' could purchase a new site and build a High_schooll which the city would be proud of. 'People in out- lying towns would then be more desirous of sending their children to Bemidji to be educated and tl)us increase the growth and prosperity of our city. Signed, C. C. Our understanding of the proposed new building is not to interfere in any way with the Central school as it stands, but to erect it, north of the present Central buildings.—Editor.
