When the war in Europe is over j: there will be one great scramble by the nations at strife in an effort to I regain the commerce of the world which they have lost to the United States while engaged in the doubt ful pastime of slitting each other s throats. Desperate measures will be devised by the shrewdest minds of the old world in their campaign for com mercial self preservation, and to meet this united onslaught, the financiers and manufacturers and other powers of the business interests of our own country should be even now entrench mg themselves and building a bul wark of protection which even time itself will find indestructible. We . can not hope to retain the advantages | we have gained unless extraordinary measures are pursued, and any relaxa tion of vigilance now or in the future will result in commercial loss and eventual disaster. It is time to act. The new school house will be com pleted and will he turned over to ths district on August 28th. The North western believes that some kind of a dedication ceremony should be held on that day. A program of music and speaking would be very appropriate. The school board should take this in hand and arrange for a suitable cele bration upon the acquiring of this beautiful new building. We are a firm believer in educa tion. We believe in the erection of buildings that will not only afford the necessary opportunities for instruc tion, but that will be strictly modern in sanitary measures. We believe in employing the best of instructors for the guidance of our children in their schoolhood davs. and we believe in the election of trustees and other public school officials who wijl give their best thought, energy and action to this end. The right kind of a school I board will employ the right kind of teachers, and they in their turn will produce from our unlettered youth the keenest intellectual minds of the future. Let us conserve the interests of our public schools of today, for the instruction and control of our children in their young days will bespeak their standing, efficiency and success in the later years of life. If there is one. single thing that can be done ta im prove educational conditions locally, that thing should be done promptly, cheerfully and without quibble. Half measures today will not make whole men and women of tomorrow. | h' mmr. = •asBawwi'T ^ » § ALL THE RICHEST MEN IN TOWN KNEW WHEN YOUNG = = THAT BY SAVING A LITTLE EACH PAY DAY IT WOULD = = SOME DAY BE A BIG SUM.
