"A Dakota Correspondent of the journal
Talks About .Desipota."
The 'sdesipota," or desiccatee po-
tato man, is having whole lot of fun
in this state at the present time. He
is from the middle east and has come
west to locate and found a factory-at
least such are his representations.
North Dakota has had experience with
him and has become very skeptical Of
his good faith. The other Dakota was
new territory in large part, and pre-
sented a most inviting field from the
fact that it is a good potato country
and has several irst-class towns which
believe in encouraging factories.
Hence the potato man has caught on
in fine shape. He is making the
rounds very deliberately, and is the
whole thing while he stays. Citizens
court him and mass meetings honor
him. He is, in fact, a very important
parsonage. If the public zeal lags, the
potato man has butto pack his hand
grip and move on to where his person

The Boys on the River Are Reminded Of

While there is an advance in wages
all along the line this year, there will
probably be no greater advance in
wages than in those of the men who
will work on the log drives this season.
For the past several years :. wages
have been from s1.25 to 5000 per day,

that even that figure might be ex-
ceeded before the season was over,
He, stated further that some lumber
men whom he knew were figuring on
an average of 1925 per day, while 9TH
ers thought it would probably be some

There is perhaps no class of labor
ing men who were more entitled to a

an advance in wages for any class of

OUR SCHOOLS.

1t Will Pay You to Visit Them and See
!. III the Improvements.
The editor visited the Princeton
high school last Friday and through
the. courtesy OF Superintendent White
was enabled to thoroughly inspect
each room. Sciences have been added
to the5 curriculum and very convent
:ent room has been fitted for the inves-
Legations Ct the pupils. While the
fappata tass for the experim of the
chemistry class is not complete, there
is enough of it to permit the interest
ing Investigations which this study af-
fords and is complete enough to allow
the student to become as we'll informed
as the State board of education re-
quires. One of the best pieces is the
microscope, splendid instrument of a
late pattern, which is very useful to
the classes in chemistry and botany.
At present the students are expert
menting. with acids on glass in the
chemistry class, while the botany class
has been enjoying the study of the
growth of plants from seeds.
The advanced classes are reviewing
elementary algebra and geometry and
their work shows that they have been
we'll instructed in the advance work.
Throughout the building one is i'm
pressed with the apparent smoothness
OF the work, every department work.

the general plan.
A visit to the lower grades will also
be enjoyed for few people realize how
great has been the change in the meth
DDS of teaching the young idea how
to shoot" since they took their first
lessons at the public schools.
The grade of our school has been
raised again, the requirements being
changed so much that it will be i'm
possible to graduate class this year
and some who graduated last year
have put in busy year again this sea-
son with great profit. When one Sc

Stole CackleberrfeS.

Two young men were before the
justice court last Monday charged with
theft. They had helped themselves to
half dozen of a farmers eggs and
cooked them on his premises, being
caught in the act of eating them by
the man of crops. He brought them
to the village and when they pleaded
guilty to the charge, paid one of the
young fellows fine with the UNDER
standing that he should work out the
amount on his farm, and as the other
was also without money loaned him
the amount necessary to square his &C.
count with the court The farmer re-
marked as he did it that he didn't care
for the eggs but thought it was good
time to teach the boys a lesson in
morality.
