school Board Votes Against Going to tho
Expense of Buying New Seats.
The board of education met in special
session Thursday evening to consider
the advisability of purchasing new
single seats for two rooms in the high
school, which now have double
seats. The proposition of three COM
psnies were read and after discussing
the matter for some time the board de
cided to defer the action in the pur-
chasing of seats until the members had
an opportunity to examine the seats
now in use. The members decided to
inspect the seats Friday morning. The
balance of the evening was spent in re-
vising the manual for the public school,
which matter has been in the hands of
superintendent Quigley. The work
was not fully completed at this meet
ing, but will likely be finished at the
next regular meeting, Friday, Dec. 81.
Friday morning the board met at the
high school building and an inspection
of the two rooms in question was made
as to the necessity for buying the new
seats. When it came to vote as to
whether the seats we're to be purchased
the vote stood two in favor of the pur-
chase and three against, so that the
matter will rest for the time being.

TO CHANGE THE SEED.
Elevator Companies viii Induce Far
mers to Improve Their Seed Wheat.

Elevator Companies win Induce Far
mers to Improve Their Seed Wheat.
Along toward spring the elevator
companies doing business in this state
will make an effort to secure complete
change in the seed wheat which has
been used by the farmers for number
of years. They take the theory that
the seeding of wheat on the same
ground for series of years will cause
it to deteriorate in quality, and in
support of this point TO the fact that
the Dakota fields which years ago pro-
duced No. hard wheat have for
several years produced inferior grades
The grain now being raised being of a
larger and softer kernel. They believe
that if seed is secured from the Saskat-
chewan, or some other spring wheat
section OF the northwest, the result will
be to get back to the more valuable
grade of wheat and be q benefit to the
farmers of the Dakotas. A general
effort will be made to bring about this
change, and it will be pushed as seeding
time approaches. Whether their
theory is the correct one or not, the
fact remains that the grades of wheat
from the Dakota fields have not kept
up to the standard at which they
started with the settlement OF the coun-

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC.

Maxim,lian Dick in Grand Concert at
the Opera House Saturday Evening.
The concert at the Grand opera house
Saturday evening Jan. ], by Maximil-
ian Dick, probably one Ct the greatest
living violin virtuosos, 1s an event
which is agitating musical circles as of
more than ordinary interest. Not only
is Mr.. Dick accounted thorough and
and wonderful artist, but he is eminent
ly popular. He has mastery OF his
instrument and draws every sound in
nature from its strings, from the soft
est warbling OF birds to the roar of the
ocean.
There is something in the man Dick,
distinct from his violin, which thor
oughly pleases an audience. There is
a color, a warmth of feeling and a ro.
business to his playing which no other
living violinist possesses in an equal de.
gree, and no matter how severely
classical his selections, the singular
clearness of his rendition arrests the
attention of every ear. The soloists
who will assist in the grand concert
are tone artists. 1t embraces Miss
Isabelle Bratnober, the celebrated
ballad singer and Miss Georgiella Lay,
the highest salaried piano soloist and
accompanist in America. The pro.
gram has been arranged with view Of
suiting miscellaneous audience.

At the Methodist Church.

An immense audience greeted the
Christmas festivities at the Methodist
church Friday evening and many had
to stand throughout the exercises. A
cantata, Judge Santa Claus" was rem
dered by the Sunday School children
under the direction of Mrs. M. N. Lee,
who drilled the choruses in such a cap
able manner as to bring forth the best
possible results. The argument of the
the cantata was that Santa Claus, be-
coming displeased with the growing
exactions and extravaganza of modern
children, and contrasting the latter
with the simplicity of their prototypes
of a hundred years ago, issues notice
that on the following Christmas he will
visit the children in person, bestowing
gifts only upon those who by efforts
toward an unselfish life have earned
the right to enjoy merry Christmas.
Santa Claus arrives, hears the child
ren's experiences, tests their truthful
ness, sympathizes in their trials, and
finally rewards them. At the conclu
sion of the eantata Santa Clsus, imper.
sonated very capab!y Fred Kratz
and assisted by numerous willing
hands distributed among the Sunday
Schools bags and boxes Of popcorn ant
candy. Rev. and Mrs A. G. Stevens
were remembered very kindly in .he
distribution of the gifts, they being
presented with several articles of valu,
by Esev. G. E. Hager in behalf OF the
congregation and members of tn,
church, to which Mr.. Stevens respond
ed in few words Of thanks. The &C

A Billion Dollar Country.

Several years ago the Democrats oi
the country made great hue and cry
about a billion dollar Congress. They
apparently had not the slightest idea
that this is a billion dollar country and
if we may judge from the results OF
their administering OF national affairs
them. With the deficit they have sad
died upon us it was very apparent at
the beginning of this Congress that
only what should absolutely be neces-
sary could lie afforded. But realizing
the need of doing a certain thing and
doing it are two different kinds Of per-
formance in most IL not all walks OF
life, and especially in the disposal Of
public moneys. Fortunately, however.
there were enough like Speaker Reed
who were willing to incur the unpop-
ularity Of checking appropriations.
The country marveled at the way In
which the appropriation bills were dis
patched through the House without
being burdened with extras. There
were large appropriations. ii is true.
made necessary by reason of much work
having been begun by previous admin
istrations. but on the other hand much
that was very desirable was passed
over on account of the empty condition
Of the treasury. This Congress has not
been disposed to increase the burden
for succeeding Congresses to bear.
And yet. despite all this caution. this
rigid adherence to an economical plan,
carried out in the House and thus far
in the Senate with wonderful persis-
tency. the appropriations have con-
siderably exceeded the billion mark.
This is something the public should
bear in mind when called upon to con-
slider charges of extravaganza in the
future. The people want wise lib-
crafty in expenditure. There isn't the
slightest doubt about it, They cannot
wish otherwise if they have an honest
loyal pride in the welfare of the coun-
try. Starving legitimate undertakings
by Withholding the means to carry
them out, deferring the payment of OBJ
legations for other Congresses to pay
and incurring debts for other genera
tions to liquidate is not the truly ap-
proved way of administering the gov
ernment. This being a billion dollar
country its expenditures must be in
keeping with its position and its needs.
To find what those needs are and the
proper limit to be observed in respond
ing to them is a duty not to be over
looked. for charge of extravaganza
not supported only serves to discour-
age honest effort to prevent extrava-
"ance.
