INSPECTORS OF FERTILIZERS


There seems 10 be some miGapprshei
sion In regard to the lenght OF servic,
OF the inspectors who are to be appoint
ed by the State Board Of Agriculture
in accordance with the bill which passed
the Legislature just before tie holiday
adjournment.
The impression teens to be that
these inspectors will receive . salary
during the entire year, whereas they
are to be compensated only for the
time il which. they are actually en-
ployed in the work of tamplingi the
fertilizers placed on sale in this State,
and in seeing that the law regulating
their sale Is being complied With. The
services OF tie inspectors will be re-
quired for only about four months
year, this time being divided between
the spring AND foil seasons. The power
Of appointing these inspectors IL vested
in the State Board of Agriculture, and
only one can be appointed from con.
gressionsl district. The number of in
spectors may be from five to ten, In
case only Eve are appointed, then each
OF the five graud divisions of the State
must be represented.

Peter Jensen who formerly lived with
John Cameron Of Lincoln township, but
who is now a soldier in our regular army
in China, to Mr.. Cameron:
Pekin, China, Sept. 7, 1900.
Mr.. John Cameron:
/ received your letter few days ago
and am glad to hear that every thing is
all right back there. We are not having
picnic here, we have pretty hard times
We have had plenty to do hunting for
boxers since we came here aud by the
looks Of things we will keep it up all
winter.
We have had two little scraps and in
one of them the bullets whistled pretty
close around me but / was not hit.
When we made the charge they could
not hold their trenches and they ran in
all directions. am not sorry joined
the army as long as | am well. There
are many sick with dysentery. The
water has to be boiled before we can
drink it but sometimes we don't wait for
that. When man rides in the hot sun
all day without anything to eat or drink
he don't want to wait to boil the water.
/ tell you, most anything is good then.
Well / will quit for this time. have

School Notes.

Examinations are almost finished and
the report cards will be out Monday.
The ranks are matter of conjecture.
Harry Sampson visited the high school
Monday and Wren Graham Tuesday.
Both are well remembered as graduates
of the school. They are students at
Cornell college and came home to swell
the vote for Mckinley.
High school students were specially
invited to attend DIR. Marshall's mission
airy lecture Monday evening and many
we're present.
Gene Schouboe was enrolled in the
second grade this week.
Money is being raised to purchase a
new school flag. The old one is consid-
erably tattered and torn. 1t was waiv-
ing on election day.
At the teachers meeting Monday
evening after school, the high school
teachers made their report Of the South
western Iowa Teachers meeting. 1t
was greatly praised.
1t is with the tin horn that political
converts are made over at the school
house. Many are the rhymes to be heard
relative to the merits and futures Of the
respective candidates.
Miss Daisy Grow, of West Union a
friend'of Mrs. Carmichael, visited the
different rooms OF the school during the
music period Monday.
Lavisa Overholtzer is taking B
Geology.
Prot. Hooker has for some time past
been having trouble with boys outside Of
the school who smoked on the grounds
and sometimes interferred with the
games. One of these young men was rode
on rail from one end of the yard to the
other Tuesday. This shows the loyalty
Of the students to Mr.. Hooker.
