Every week he had some- thing new and spectacular to “pall out of his sleeve” and make the na- tives sit up and take notice. He took an old farm lying south of Leroy village—the one he said he had fallen heir to—and spent $50,000 on it. It became a mecca for travelers. Thomson laid out beautiful parks on the farm; erected a dancing pav- ilion at an expense of $30,000 with a dancing floor to accommodate 1,000 couples, and had it decorated by the artists who decorated the Hippodrome in New York and the Coliseum in Chicago. A Two thousand electric lamps help- ed to turn this pavilion into a fairy place. - Large Hotel Erected On the farm, Cy erected a hotel with fifty beds and a dining room to care for seventy-five diners. Then he built a fire station and installed two chemical engines with a perman- ent fire fighting force. ‘And there was music by a band of Nontinued ou Page Six) eae Every | committee’s inquiry the publication of ppoge who advocated the Main street constitutes the closing! controversy, of May 1920, participatec in by Rear Admiral Sims’ letter sharp- ly criticising the Daniels war admin- ,istration, The letter which charged | numerous delays and lax methods in the navy department was brought te light into a committee inquiry into Admiral Sims’ controversy with the ‘former secretary over naval awards of | distinguished service decorations.

Adams, manag- jer of the Home Builders Association jand William Lemke individually The ‘defendants are notified that on 10 jam, July 25 in the district court of | Burleigh County the plaintiff will move for the restrainign order. ! Brinton, who brings the action: as |a taxpayer, asserts the home builders act is being violated in the building of the Lemke house in Fargo, which he | says is of the approximate value of $25,000, His attorneys avo Fisk and ‘Murphy, of Minot, with Joha BF. Sullivan, of Mandan, and Arthur Le- Sueur, of St. Paul, as counsel. Brinton’s ground for the suit is that the law limits the cost of a house un- der the home builders act to $5,000 in ‘a city and $10,000 for a farm home. The state officials have construed the , law to mean they may invest $5,000 in a home which may cost the builder {a great deal more. An interpretation jot the law will be asked in the courts.
