This in- cludes typewriting, shorthand and bookkeeping. The decision was reached, it was by,,board members, somewhat afBency measure on account it6' care for the growing num- boys and girls attending the high schol each year and because of ecomomy. The high school it was stated, already is badly crowded and the commercial department occupied a great deal of space. The board also feels, it was stated, that the high school’s chief mission is to provido-a foundation for boys and girls and that the high school should not endeavor to turn out specialized students. It was said some members feel that any student desiring to take up commercial work would be in far bettor position to do so with the gnoundwork of a good high school edu- cation, The commercial department is one of the most expensive in tho high school. At the beginning of this school year changes were made in requirements to provide that the number of elective gubjects shall be reduced, This was done, it was stated, because of the fact that many students found when they desired to continue their studies ; they could not gain entrance to col- lege wihout additional work. The question of action in regard to the commercial department has been up for sometime. Some people have felt that it ought to be continued; others that it should be discontinued. The board in its meeting authorized the establishment of an additional kindergarten at ‘Richholt school, there being a petition signed by 59 school patrons asking for it. - meat CARAWAY TAKES OfiBufficient room in the high | —Courtesy No. Dak.

SAYS HE’LL FIND MISSING GIRL Superior, Wis., May. 24.—What may prove to be a clue to the present whereabouts of Dorothy Anderson, mysterious girl stenographer sought as a material witness in the E. Sail- scott affair has been uncovered by At- torney John Hadign, counsel for Mrs. Leona Sailsback-Richardson, of Eau Claire, in her suit to recover, $64,000 insurance carried by her first hus- band who, she asserts, perished in a fire at Lake Nebagonem the night of Aug. 26, 1920, States His Views. McHarg announced his oppositon to Senator McCumber in the campaign. Stating his views ‘on national issues Mr. McHarg says: “I firmly believe ‘that the time has arrived when the farmers of the na- tion should demand and receive as much consideration as the well or- (ganized manufacturing and carrying interests. If an agricultural bloc is Necessary to accomplish this purpose, then I am in favor of such a congres- sional division or group. “The appalling extravagance of the national government is the model for is responsible for the heavy taxes which show in the high prices of manufactured goods and excessive freight rates. It is especially im- portant to the agricultural interests of the country that this orgy of waste should cease, as the farmer, a pro- ducer of raw materials, is-¢ompelled to sell at a low market and buy in a high market. National expenditures should be speedily reduced. “On tho associated subject of peace and the care of those who have fought our wars, the words of Lincoln’s last inaugural are most appropriate: “With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the na- tion’s wounds, to care for him @ho shall have borne the battle an his widow and orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations,” “Il favor the enforcement of the eighteengh, or pmlxbition, amend- ment of the Constitution of the Unit- ed States, as a part of tho supeme law of the land, and the prohibitton law of this state and denounce any and all efforts to nullify them. other than by the process clearly defined in the con- stitution itself. _Favors Prohibition ‘Mr. McHarg says he favors the pro- hibition amendment and concludes: “This nation and state must not lose sight of, nor faith in, th> plain, easily understood requirements of a government of the people, es the peo- ple and for the people. The sover- eign power in this nation and state is the people. This power is exercised by the ballot. The people’s liberty is maintained only by themselves, Etern- al vigilance is its price.” He endorses the INestos state ad- ministration. SPEAKS IN GRAND FORKS George F.
