County School Notes
Tho Redisricting Committnois In
scssioh this week In Dakota City, for
tho purpose published in a notico in
last week's papers. Jt is looking
forward to a profitable session, and is
hoping that such essential adjust
ments can bo made m tho boundaries
and school houso sites of tho pro
posed districts as will bring sufficient
interest In consolidation to nakotho
organization of new districts possible
in duo time.
Tliis session will bo tho last oppor
tunity for school 01001018 to sook ad
justment beforo tho Redisricting
Committee. Should further adjust
ments bo sought or appoa s 1 lade
from tho decisions of tho Redisrict
ing Committee, tho State Superin
tendent, J. M. Matzen, ill look after
such matters. . Tho electors?, will bo
given forty days from April 2(, 1020,
to file appeals with tho State Super
intendent, who will overrula or sus
tain the County Redisricting Com
mittee's findings after proper invest
igation of the caso in question.
After tin time for appeals to tho
State F''i ntondent has elapsed and
tho chum if any, made, tho matter
of accuj a proposed district is
entirely within, tho power of all
electors of any proposed district to
exorcise by the particular method
that applies to each proposed dis
trict. Since all elector's will havoto func
tion under the law In ono of three
different ways according to how .and
where thoy aro situated, I shall givo
each way here following: Those elec
tors residing in a present high school
district that is within a proposed
uistrict, net through their icliool
board only: those residing within tho
samo proposed district bat outside of
tho included high school district bc-
como n part of tho consolidated dls
trict whenover 51 per cent of i ich
electors shall chooso by potlllon to
becomo n part of the consolidated
district; and those residing in a pro
posed district that contnins no high
school, accept or reject their propo
sition by bnllot after 25 per cent of
the electors of such a proposed dls
trice hUvo asked tho County Superin
tendent to put tho matter to a vote.
Tho Committco desires, I am uure,
to impress upon tho school public the
fact that consolidation will nob bo
forced upon any district. Tho Law,
covering tho subject, makes it vorj
clear that this matter rests entirely
with the pcoplo of proposed districts,
and that consolidation can and will
becomo a reality only after tho pa
trons of each proposed district have
expressed themselves by tho method
provided by law. It should bo
clearly understood that tho electors
mav chooso tholr own timo as to
whon they wish to organize a propos
ed district for high school and con
solidated school purposes.
Tho Committee, altogether neutral
in this mattor, feels impelled to si'y
to tho school' patrons of tho county
that tho Consolidation Law was en
acted by tho Stnto Legislature for
tho distinct purposo of ondoavonng
to ellmtnnto tho non-officlcnt ono
teacher school, and to enable the
children to bo at tholr own firesides
as much as possible throughout tho
years of education. This is tho pur
poso of tho Law and tho adoption of
its consolidation features now rests
wholly upon tho frco will of tho ju
ral patrons and parents.

THE HOUSE
OP SERVICE
all signs point to a horse famine, we
again call attention to the words of
a leading tractor dealer in the Twin
Cities, who said:
"My firm handles a complete line
of farm implements, both horse and
tractor drawp, and wo also sell tract
ors and auto trucks. From a selfish
standpoint, wo do not care whether
tho farmer uses horses or mechonlcil
power, for we will sell him his im
plements and supplies either way.
From a broad, far-sighted viewpoint,
however, we aro vitally interested.
"Our objection, based on careful
observation, is that tho farmer is
obliged to renew his mechanical mo
tlvo power units, wholly or in largo
part, every three or four years, and
it keeps him so busy paying for new
automobiles, tractors and trucks that
ho has no money left for the more
essential things wo have to sell him."
Wo gladly welcome tho tractor nnd
truck, for they hnve a groat mission
to fill, but for many purposes they
cannot economically fill the bill.
This is true on small and rough
farms and on short hauls in tho city.
This country is fast approaching a
real horse shortage. It is now al
most impossible to buy real good
ones. Good horses aro going to sell
much higher. Why not breed your
best mores?
Twenty boys have enrolled in the
purer-bred "heife;r ' clubs and a few
others are contemplating doing so.
Mr. E. M. Blessing and the writer
will leave Wednesday for Rock Val
ley, Iowa, to buy thp Holsteln heif

Oue outstanding figure In pubUc affairs In Nebraska In R. D. How
ell, of Omaha. Ills accomplishments In that city have attracted the
attention o the wholo country, and especially among those who are
genuinely striving for tho betterment of public service.
Mr. Howell was ono of tho first In Omaha to
advocate municipal ownership of tho wator plant
It was In privato hands, and tho people were being
charged a high rnte for a very low quality of water.
Howell led In tho years of fight that followed, re
suiting In the taking over of the water system by
tho city. Ho was made the general nmnagor, and
through his huslnessliko methods the plant has
proven a wonderful financial success, besides re
ducing the price of water fifty per cent nnd by
giving tho poople us good water as any In the
country.
Following this, Mr. Howell took up tho matter
The result was that tho price of lco to tho consum
ers at Omaha was cut almost CO per cent, and; ico stations were estab
lished throughout tho city where the pcoplo could be supplied In any
quantity, large or small, at any time of day at tho roducod price. And
tho Ico plant in the very first year showed a surplus of about $70,000.
Howell's next move was municipal or co-operatlvo distribution of
milk, which has increased tho jpjlco paid to the producers, and reduced
tho prlco to tho consumers foe? cents a quart.
Recognizing the great benefit of this kind of public operation,
Omaha has bought tho gas plant, 'and expects Mr Howell to make
another great success in its management. 4
Mr. Howell Is nt present tho Republican National Committeeman
