where, with lots Of people In absolute
wlthstanding the many crop failures.
there is less poverty in North Dakota to-
day than in many Of the older states. If
the farmers would give less attention to
raising wheat, and diversity more, North
Dakota would soon take its place among
the most prosperous states in the Union.
More than year ago the voters of,
Williamsport school district at an elcc.
tion held for the purpose, unanimously
authorized the school board to issue
$1,000 of bonds to run for twenty years,
with the option Of payment at the end OF
ten years, such bonds to draw 6 per cent
interest. AS money was very close, no
purchasers at 6 per cent could be found.
Now, however, the state Board of Uni
versity and School Lands will take the
bonds. But, as several minor legal re-
qulrcments were overlooked IN connec.
tion with the former election. it will be
necessary to hold another election.
There are 81, 400 bonds and about 81, 600
warrants (principal and intcrcsl) of this
school district now outstanding. Since
1889 the district has had the privilege of
paying for and canccling 3,OOC of the
bonds. These now draw per cent. The
remainder Isl, ,40W draw s per cent, and
are due IN 1901. New SIX pcr.cc bonds
for $1,000 would save l per ccat year
on the So 900 of bonds due ana 2 per cent
on the warrants (principal about So, 500)
outstanding, besides enabling the board
to do business on cash basis, instead of
using school warrants salable at Is cents
on the dollar, Papers received from the
State Superintendent show the course to
pursue in order to exactly comply with
the law IN calling an election and prcpar-
ing the bonds. First, there must be Il
petition. signed by onc>third Of the voters
nf the district (thc ladies are also votcrs),
to the school board, asking that body to
Call an election. The petition is now at
the postoflicc and, rs the issuing of the
bonds simply means a saving Of interest
to the taxpayers and the running of the
district on cash basis, the petition
should be numerously and promptly
signed

Identifying Your own Baby.

New York Sun: Suppose that 100
babies are lett in the nursery OF that
Presbyterian church IN New York which
has set up e nursery for the care Of
babies while their mothers are in church.
is it certain that every mother can pick
out her own baby when the service is
ended? According to the bachelors in
the church, all babies under two years
old look 50 much alike that nobody
could tell one from another, except by
the dress. According to the mothers in
the church, any mother could pick out
her own baby from thousand babies if
the whole of them wore dresses of the
same kind. The mothers laugh at the
bachelors and the bachelors put uues-
tions to the mothers. We can tell these
bashclors that they are ignoramuses. The
fond mother Of An unparalleled baby
could pick her baby out from among all
the other babies in the wide world.
Babies don't look alike any more than
grown people. Let the bachelors ask
their own mammas,

things that are hard to understand.
