A warehouse of garbled text reports a public notice addressed to the patrons of the Grant School. It asserts no abandonment of the Grant building and supports building a new facility to relieve pressure and improve work, urging hearing and voter confidence in the second ward.
Tomorrow officials of the Atlantic independent school district will vote on Prop 7 to build a new Cedar Street school and issue $80,000 in bonds. The plan follows a prior two year period of strict budgeting that reduced school board taxes to a near unbelievable level while stressing necessity and prudence in modernization.
The school board and officials agree on a sinking fund to pay off bonds and avoid heavy tax hikes, aiming to relieve pressure on existing buildings. Parrot-Teacher associations also endorse the proposal as reasonable and necessary for proper handling of school children, with broad intelligent support and urging it to pass at the election.
In a Rotary Club talk, Thomas H. Whitney of the Whitney Loan and Trust urged farm land as the safest nationals investment at current prices. He warned that buyers who hesitate now may regret it as land trades at up to 200 dollars an acre in Cass County and noted earlier prices of 300 dollars per acre. The speaker praised local farm-value advocates and warned against discounting farmland amid cheap rhetoric.
An editorial contrasts American recovery with Soviet Siberia under Bolshevik rule. It cites an American correspondent from Harbin describing Western Siberia’s collapse into poverty, ruined infrastructure, and widespread hardship amid an alleged Communist state restructuring.
Amid harsh critique of Soviet policy, the author attacks what he calls progressive tendencies toward state control. He contrasts Siberia under communism with early American frontier ideals of private initiative and property, urging readers to weigh reports from Moscow against experienced newspaper coverage.
A poem by Walt Mason titled Rippling Rhymes recounts a tale of giving soup to a sick neighbor. The narrator's generous act is praised, but the parson warns against advertising kindness for credit. The piece critiques publicizing good deeds and urges acts of charity done quietly.
