NEW SCHOOLS IN NORTHWEST PART OF COUNTY
Four New Buildings Under Contract Or Being Constructed In Three Townships

The Johnson school directors Tuesday let a contract for a new school house
to replace the building destroyed by fire in district No. 1 last winter to
E.E. Dannelley of LeMars. The contract price is $2699 for a building 28x33
outside, with full basement, storm cave, coal and cob bin and two gables.
The building is modern and different in design from those built in Portland.
The Dirks hardware company of Akron was awarded the contract for the furnace
at $189.50 and the chemical toilets were bought from DeRuyter of Sioux
Center for $215.00. The total cost is $3090 and the building is to be
completed by August 20. The district had $1200 insurance on the old building
and a $2000 tax has been levied.

A few days earlier a contract was let for the new school house in the Jones
district in Portland to Gilbert Blisser of Sioux Center for $2806 and the
contract for the furnace and toilets was let for $414. This also is a modern
building with full basement and up-to-date equipment with chemical toilets
furnished by DeRuyter and is to be ready for use before school opens this
fall.

This makes the eighth new school house built in Portland in 12 years and
gives every district a modern building. They began levying a tax for this
purpose 12 years ago and had the money on hand to pay for each building
before the contract was let. No other township in the county is so well
equipped with modern school buildings.

A contract was also let last month for a new school house in Westfield
township, which adjoins Johnson and Plymouth, to replace one destroyed by
fire earlier in the winter.

The new consolidated school building in the town of Westfield, which also
replaces one burned early in the winter, is being erected and is now up to
the second story. It will cost $48,000 and a WPA grant for 45 per cent of
the amount was made. This building also is to be completed in time for the
opening of the fall term.

SALE OF SUBSTITUTE FOR MILK BANNED BY COURT RULING

Sioux City Tribune: Nick Thoma of Le Mars of the state dairy and food branch
of the Iowa department of agriculture was in Sioux City Friday, directing
merchants to discontinue selling Caroline or Milnut, a milk substitute. Mr.
Thoma said he is issuing orders under a recent ruling of Judge O. S.
Franklin of Des Moines, and those who did not obey will be prosecuted.

The Carolene Products company of Litchfield, Wis., started shipping this
milk substitute into Iowa about a year ago, Mr. Thoma said. Officials of
the state tried to take it off the market, saying it violated the Iowa dairy
law which prohibits adding anything but butterfat to milk. Mr. Thoma said
cocoanut oil replaces the butterfat in these substitutes. The Carolene
company obtained an injunction against the department of agriculture
officials, asserting the Iowa law is unconstitutional.

After a hearing, Judge Franklin declared the law constitutional and ruled
that the milk substitutes cannot be sold in Iowa.

been more true and noble, and since the passing of her companion in 1920 she
had carried on with the aid of her children as a courageous Christian lady.
As a home maker, she was expert; as a neighbor, she was loved by all; and as
a church woman, she did what she could when she could. Hers was a liberal
hand; hers a loving heart. She will be sincerely missed in Plymouth County,
