It is planned to have the formal opening Wednesday, May llth. The outstanding part of the new building is the work room for use of the clerical staff, which occupies the entire east half of the building, and is lighted on three sides.

This room is 40 feet by 90 feet, with a 12- foot ceiling, and is entirely unobstructed by partitions. The building is absolutely fireproof. The floor construction of reinforced concrete is covered with special resilient floor tile. The ground story contains stock room, director's room, fire-proof storage vault, locker and toilet rooms for employees, and rest room for women. The exterior walls are of pink limestone, quarried at Kasota, and the building is of modernistic design throughout.

The floor space of the new building is six times that of the old building. The contract for the building was let September 22, 1931, and work -was commenced imnieditaely. The building was occupied approximately six and one-half months after work started. Veterans Not Exempt from Paying Poll Tax, Opinion War veterans are not exempt from paying the poll tax unless for reasons of physical disability and inability to pay, the attorney general ruled in an opinion Friday. Clarification of the question had been asked by Arthur W.

Smith, county attorney at Emmetsburg. The opinion also held that the mere fact that the government is allowing a veteran disability allowance is not in itself sufficient proof of disability in considering state cases. Assistant Attorney General Gerald 0. Blake "wrote the opinion. The poll tax may not be suspended by a board of supervisors, or permission given to work out the tax, Blake said in an opinion written for J.

SOME THINGS YOU CAN'T GET BY MAIL ORDER The mail order house is the quack doctor of commerce. It promises much and guarantees nothing. Like patent medicine directions arc on the inside and you have got a non- returnable package you know what they arc.

No mail order house helped to build the little white school house in your district or turnpike the roads past your door. No mail order house ever took you by the hand when you were in distress and told you to let the little account go until after harvest. No mail order house over sold you goods and then spent every cent, of the profits right in the community where you and your neighbors could get it all back again. No mail order house ever shoved its patent leather shoes under your table and rejoiced with you when you were glad, nor spoke encouraging words to you in affliction; nor stood with uncovered head beside the grave when your children died. Cow Near Bremer Mothers Two Lambs Left Orphans The two lambs at the Albert Jahnke farm at Bremer which get their milk from a cow, and as a result gained considerable fame through having their pictures in the DCS Monies Register, have had special training, it was learned this week, says the Waverly Democrat.

When the lambs first started their new food supply, they weren't quite big enough to reach the teats. So Bill Jahnke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jahnke, and a student in the Waverly high school, furnished them with a box. That worked better, but it wasn't perfect, since the lambs fell off the box.

The problem was finally solved by adding sideboards to the box so that it made a miniature pen, and the iambs used this elevated "stand" it was no longer necessary. The cow "bellers" to the lambs just as if they were calves, and the ambs bleat back to the new "mother" just as if she were an ewe. 57 MEN TEACHERS INFAYETTE COUNTY Twice as Many as State Out of Every Six MAY REORGANIZE BALL LEAGUE Reorganization of the Northeastern Iowa baseball league is being discussed in Fayette and adjoining coun- for the coming season, and it is ikely that at least a six-team league yill result. Interest assures that Arington, Hawkeye, Waucoma and Alpha will play, and Clermont, Elgin, Aurora, West Union, Lawler and Oel- ivein are others who may attempt to rganize teams. HIS TAXES MONEY BURNS In a recent fire in Fayette county a 'armer lost $300 in currency which he had under an oilcloth on the floor, Fnyette county runs twice aa strongly to male teachers in the public schools as does the average county in Iowa, says the West Union Argo- Gazotte.

Tho recent publication, following a survey by the department of public instruction, to the effect that "the old fashioned schoolmaster is disappearing" may be true for the state of Iowa as a whole, ln.it it is not true of Fayette county. More men are teaching in the rural schools of Fayette county during the school year of 1931-32 than have taught here at any ofncr time in the past decade. The total number of men teachers in all schools of the county is almost twice what it was ten years ago, but the number has been pretty constant for the past five years, with only slight upward tendency. Whereas in the statement sent out from the department of public instruction it is said that less than one Iowa teacher out of twelve is a man, the proportion in Fayette county is higher than one out of six. Men teachers in the rural schools have been as follows: Ten years ago, five years ago, four years ago, three years ago, two years ago, one year ago, at the beginning of school last fall, 9.

Men teachers in all schools of the county have gradually increased in numbers as follows: Ten years ago, 30; five yeai's ago, 40; four years ago, 61; three years ago, 48; two years ago, 49; one year ago, 54; at the beginning of school last fall, 57. The total number of men teachers in the city and town schools of the county increased over 50 per cent in the five years between 1921 and 1926, going from 23 to 37, made another jump to 46 in 1927, then has remained almost constant ever since, with 43, 46, 48, and 47. Teachers in Fayette county ten years ago, in 1921-22, were as follows: Cities and 35, women 166, total 201; 4, women 107, total 111; all men 39, women 273, total 312. Teachers in the county five years ago, 1926-27, were: Cities and towns 37, women 173, total 210; rural 3, women 113, total 116; all 40, women 286, total Lnko, usually largo producer, thoug' the factory will bo used for weeks in canning beans for which i is especially equipped.

The market for canned corn hn boon in poor condition for some time A great surplus on hand throughou the country has made it necessary fo canning companies to sell their prod uct at a loss this winter and spring This is accounted for partly by 1'nct that jobless -eoplo in the citie have been buying cheaper dried vege tables and partly by the increasing supply of fresh vegetables on the mar ket throughout the year. The Iowa Canning has not con traded for an acre of corn anywhen in Iowa this year. As rule it con trails for about 1,000 acres in Sni City and vicinity and the same nmoun imntnd Storm Lake. Peas to be cannec at Vinton will be grown on the com pany's own land near that city.

While the" Seed Loan office hisists upon accuracy in the applications and the records, the money is sent within just a few days after the complete and accurate records and applications have been submitted. In most cases the total amount asked for has been allowed, although in some cases "a slight reduction was made.

Many Iowa Canning Plants Will Be Closed This Year Bremer county, it seems, is fortunate to have two canning companies which will operate during the year 1932, says the Bremer County Independent.

The Sac City plant will be shut down this year for the first time since 1921. No corn will be canned at Storm Wedding INVITATIONS We will be glad to show you samples and quote obligation.

LEASE teachers, Iowa has fewer male teachers than any state Jw the Union, according to a survey just made by R. C. Williams, research director of the department of public instruction. Less than one in every twelve teachers in the- state is a Jnah, and this propor- tidn is becoming smaller year by year. The reason given by officials 'here is the comparative!" small pay of the teacher, compared other professions.

The average salary of ah Jown teacher, according to statistician William's is $1078 per $100 a month. This, he says, is considerably below the average for the country ns a whole, and lower than that of any of our neighboring states. Tho average pay for-ordinary wage- earners in Iowa last year was fifty per cent more thah this. Officials here declare that -unless this situation is corrected Iowa schools will attract an increasingly poorer class of teachers, with a resulting lowering of educational and inadequate training for school children.
