A MOVEIN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION
Minneapolis Farmers Twice.
a-Week Tribune Assists the
Famine Relief commit
tees i'm Raising Funds
for Starving Scandi-
naVianS.

We notice in recent issue of the
Farmers Twice-a. Week Tribune of
Minneapolis an offer unparalleled in
the history of newspapers. Their
enterprise in this work on behalf of
the suffering multitudes in Finland
and northern Norway and Sweden is
one of broad humanity and worthy of
much praise. The proposition as
made by the Farmers Tribune is as
follows:
1st. Beginning March Il, 1908, the
columns of the Farmers Tribune will
be open to the Famine Relief Commit
tee for period of five weeks.
End. The Relief Editor of The
Farmers Tribune will receive during
that period, cash donations for the
sufferers in Finland, Norway and
Sweden.
3rd. Fifty per cent of all money
sent by club raisers to the Famine
Relief Editor, for subscription, will be
donated to the Famine Relief Fund.
On this offer no commission will be
allowed to agents, nor will it include
any premiums or other special offers.
All money for the Relief Fund must
be addressed to the Famine Relief
Editor.
In order that all moneys received
will 60 through the proper channels
and be applied for the purpose for
which it is sent, all of the above direc-
tions must be carefully complied with.
Every person sending in club of
three or more names will have his
name published in the Farmers Twice
a-Week Tribune.
We would suggest that our readers
join hands with the Farmers Tribune
and help the good cause along, for it
is certainly worthy one.

give you an up. to-date store in

New Uniforms for Company k

Company K was called together
Monday evening in the fire hall,
for the purpose of taking the
measure of each mem Der for new
uniforms that are soon to be
issued by the war department.
Captain Lindquist has furnished
us with a description of the new
service uniforms, which is as
follows:
A sack coat of olive. drab woolen
or cotton material; to be cut so
as to fit loosely in the chest (at
least five inches in excess of
chest measurement and to fit
closely at the waist; collar seam
to come well up in front, to close
with five regulation buttons
down the front and to be pro-
vided with shoulder loops of the
same material. Collar ornaments
and chevrons will be worn on
this coat aud all buttons and
metal ornaments will be of dull
nllSn OfOnZo.
The breeches of woolen or cot
ton material, to match the coat;
to be worn without stripes; to be
made loose bout the knee, fitting
closely below the knee, extending
to the tops of the shoes and
fastened with tapes or laces; to
be worn with shoes and leggings.
The hat will be of felt, color
similar to that of the uniform;
with dou BILE hat cord one-eighth
of an inch in diameter, of firm
material and to be sewed fast to
the hat. The letter of the COM
pany and number of the regi.
ment, made of dull finished
bronze, to be placed on the front
part of the crown. 1t will have
eyelets on each side for fastening
a strap or cord and will be worn
creased in the middle as issued.
The cap will be of olive drab
material, same as uniform, with
visor and cap strap of black
enamel leather and buttons of
dull finish bronze.

The present indications are
that the enrolment next fall will
reach som ething over 400
Some years ago, it is claimed
superficial work was done in the
grades. This made it necessary
for several grades to be refused
promotion in order to master the
weak places. AS a result of this
there will be nine grades below
the high school until next Jan
uary, when it is hoped matters
can be Strengthened out COM
pletely, so far as the grades are
concerned.
This year the third, fourth,
fifth and sixth grades have half
sessions, owing to the crowded
conditions Of the rooms. There
is some additional revenue in
sight and the board has already
laid plans to provide all day
sessions for all pupils next year
This will add three teachers to
the fac culty aud place two grades
in the fire hall and one in the
council room, according to pres
ent arrangements.
Some have asked to have
beginning pupils admitted this
spring, but this will be an i'm
possibility, and all beginners will
have to be contented to wait
until next September.
There has been a little tendency
to criticise the board of educa-
ton, apd teachers relative to the
conditions this year. 1t is no
more than fair to state that the
board has put in many hours
of planning and conscientious
thought in trying to relieve the
situation. Up TO now the board
has been totally unable to do
otherwise than it has done with
means that have been put at it's
disposal. Short revenues have
been the rule for five or six years,
and the fact is the board has
accomplished wonders, all things
considered.
AS to the teachers, perhaps
nothing need be said except that
they are working from ten to
fourteen hours a day, and con
sidering the conditions the
schools could hardly be in better
working order.
The teachers are anxious to
welcome visitors. It may be a
little strange but not more than
a dozen people have visited all
departments combined except on
special days when school work
was not in progress. No other
public Enterprise taking $4,000 of
revenue would get so little atten-
ton from the public.
Come, and visit your schools.
