BARTER METHOD LIKELY TO PROVE POPULAR HERE Through the efforts of the land clearing department, Assistant County Agent Washburn advises that con- siderable work s being done to bring the buyer and seller together on the farm. “During the past week,” said Mr. Washburn, “We traded a dozen fuil blood Duroe hogs for wood and this is just the beginning of what will be done, in: this country" this winter.” “Many farmers have wood to sell rand.wnm something in exchange for it “This department of the County Agent’s office is acting as an exchange for such transactions. Arrange- ments are being made to do this kind of bartering for flour, feed, and live- stock, and farmers who have some- thing they want to sell are urged to:get in touch with the office of the county agent. “It is well for the farmer to re- member that he may have just what another wants, &nd that another may | have just what he wants and in such cases an exchange is very easily brought about.

West, superintendent of the 'Bemidji public schools, gave a most interesting discourse on the ¢ity schools at the noon luncheon of the Civi¢ and Commerce association Wed- nesday. Mr. ‘West was requestéd on short notice to fill in the program, which was to have been occupied by the Hon. W. I. Nolan,-speaker of the thouse,and he did it to the éntire sat- tsfaction of the‘all present. Dreams and promises that seemed almost too good to be true, are soon to be realized, according to Mr. West, and in the very near future the school board expects to ‘“‘open house” at the new Northern Minnesota high school. “We hope soon to invite you to hold your noon lunches at the Bew high school,” said Mr. West, “and [ for your program to visit the school in session. This is your building and your children are being educat- ed in it and it will be your right and priviledge to come when you can. Suggestions and helpful criti- cism are always welcome. “The old high school building burn- ed a year ago last February and since that time your children have been considerably handicapped in securing the right kind of instruction. We have opened the new building un- der a handicap, as the building is not_yet finished. This i8 not the fault of the contractors, but due to ithe delay in securinggmaterial, etc., which has been unavoidable.” Within another week, we hope to have things going at normal capacity.” Mr. West also mdde comparison in ‘attend#nce at Whe- high sthool which showed an increage of about 45 percent during the past few years. The increase since the new building has been erected is from neighbor- ing towns largely. He expressed appfeeiation to the clubs, churches and lodges and citi- zens generally for the fine co-opera- tion extended during trying times, especially for the chairs loaned to the school. Seats are arriving daily and will soon be installed, So that work will proceed without delay.
