REQUIRED CONDITIONS.

. A high school to receive aid must
have been in existence at least one
year preceding the application, must
admit students Of either sex without
charge of tuition and must have regu-
lar courses in all subjects prescribed
by the state high school board.
Graded schools must have at least
four departments in charge of p1n-
cipal and teachers, and must be
equipped with suitable school build
ings, substantial library and all APP
paratus necessary for doing efficient
work. The department of public in
struction requires of semi-graded
schools that the school building and
each room be clean, we'll swept, prop
erly heated and ventilated; that each
room be supplied with sufficient
blackboard space and a Webster's
International dictionary. The de-
partment makes practically the same
requirements of rural school with
reference to the care of the building
as Of semi graded school. The law
stipulates that it must hold at least
eight months school during the year.

Owing to the diversion of
water for industrial purposes,
the amount going over Niagara
Falls is constantly diminish
ing, and it is prophesied that if
this keeps on the Falls will
soon run dry and the precipice
be decorated with painted signs
advertising breakfast food.
Next summers railroad ex-
cursions may possibly be adj
vertised as the last chance to
see the famous Niagara while
it is still wet.

State Aid for Schools.

State Superintendent j. w. Olson
has notified the county superinten-
dents and school officers that appli
cations for state aid, under the new
law, must be received at the depart
ment Of public instruction before
July 81.
The recent Legislature increased the
state aid for high schools from 81, 900
to ST. 500; for graded schools, from
$500 to $3.50; for semi graded schools
from $500 to $3.50; and for rural
schools from 500 to $l25. Last year
al high schools, liz graded schools,
PA semi-graded schools and 747
rural schools qualified under the law.
Owing to a deficiency in che appro
priation, how ever, only the graded
schools received the specified aid. 1t
is expected that many new applica-
tions will be made for the increased
aid this year.

IF merchant has five hun
dred customers it stands to
reason that he can get more.
Expansion comes by intelligent
use of modern methods. Good
newspaper advertising is the
power that makes the merchant
princes of the small retailers
every year The consumers
want to know what you have
to offer them and it is up to
you to give them what they
desire. The wise merchant in
creases his business by a
judicious use of advertising
space and the Mt el1ige n t
farmer saves money by watch
ing that space.

The Old Push.

I say any town is lucky who does
not possess what many be termed
the old push that cannot see beyond
their noses, or cannot see that new
ideas and new measures are required
to be in the great race for supremacy
in business, in progress, in growth
and in prosperity. The methods of
to-day are not what they were twenty
years ago, the methods of next year
are quite likely not to be those of to-
day. The old push c mot see that
values are better and more promis-
ing, and their opinions are often free
ly expressed in manner that makes
investors hesitate before investing,
and sometimes actually drive this
desirable class to other places. The
old push has got SO used to moving
in the same old rut, that a forty
horse power derrick is unable to pull
them out into the new highways and
roads. Our town today wants new
push with original ideas, progressive
notions, ready to move forward,
never underrate the possibilities OF
the place, and above all, put values
above then below, every day ip the
year
If a towns own people do not have
a high opinion OF the city, heaven
knows nobody else will. Anoka

The Minneapolis Journal says
that while the editors of Min
nesota were at Mount Vernon,
Frank A. Day, president of the
Minnesota Editorial Associa-
ton, was presented with two
watches. First came Charlie
Mitchell of Alexandria, who in
behalf of the editorial associa-
ton, made a1engthly presenta-
ton speech, winding up with
the presentation of a dollar
watch. After Day had made
appropriate acknowledge
ments, and had been led to be-
1ieve everything was done,
Capt. G. A. Whitney stepped
forward and presented him
with a sure enough watch,
solid gold, with many jewels,
bought in Washington, the
covers handsomely engraved,
and gave it to him in the name
of the editors. Day was not
looking for this second pre-
sentation. He had looked upon
Z
the first as being a joke and

The farmers of Nebraska are
fearful of a hired man trust this
summer and are hanging up
prizes for season contracts.
One farmer, it is said, offers to
do all the milking, feeding
pigs, rubbing down the horses,
weed pulling, harness oiling,
wood splitting and corn p1ow-
ing if he can get a man to help
with the haying and harvest
ing, and to hitch up twice a
week and go to town for the
mail; working hours to be from
8 a. m. to 5 p. "a. and six
o'clock dinner. The story goes
on to say that he has had no
applications and fears for the
worst. Interstate Messenger.

had so taken it. When the real
thing came he was not pre-
pared for it and was at a
loss for suitable reply. The
crowd standing in front of the
historic old mansion enjoyed
his discontinue, and gave him
three cheers as one of the best
presidents the association has
ever had. The Post is pleased
to note this recognition of
Franks popularity with the
editors. He is a very capable
man and deserving of the
recognition he received. We
can readily see how easy it was
for him to talk fluently on a
cheap dollar watch, but was
troubled for words to express
himself on the good one. The
first was evidently in imitation
of silver, Days standard, and
the latter was a genuine, sure
enough gold affair. Day had
been talking silver so long that
to expect him to talk on a
"gold standard" watch was
really presumptious on the part
of the editors. Hereafter he
may talk free silver but will
"do time from a free gold
watch. Blue Earth Post.

MR.. MORGAN INDIGNANT.
His Remarks in Executive Session Be
traYed and Distorted.

In the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr.
Morgan spoke on a question of privilege re-
garding the dispatch which recently ap-
peared in the public prints purporting to be
signed by the Colombian minister to Mex
leo, Senior Rafael Reyes, in which Reyes
took exception to an alleged statement by
Mr.. Morgan in the Senate that the Colom-
bian president had sold out and abdicated
for $1,0oOOOO. Mr.. Morgan declared that
there was betrayal of the Senate in the
matter Of what transpires at executive ses-
sions. 1t was a cowardly form of calling
senator to account for remarks or state
ments made in confidence. The evil seems
to be without remedy, he continued, and
the only safety of senators is in open ses-
sions. Reyes, he said, violated principle
Of diplomacy by obtaining his information
surreptitiously through persons who v1o-
lated their trust.
II did not say said Mr.. Morgan, lat any
time that the president had received a mil
lion dollars as pay for resigning. l said
that after he received 81 000, coo in April,
1900, he retired to his home and the vice
president was substituted In his place.
Reverting to the subject of the giving out
of information concerning executive seS-
sions, Mr.. Morgan said: 1T Is only a repe-
tition Of the crimes that have been COM
mftted by senators heretofore"
1t was not an unusual thing, he said, but
no such accusation could be laid at his
door.
At the conclusion of Mr. Morgan's re-
marks these bills were passed: Appropriat-
ing S135,0J0 to compensate the Old Point
Comfort Improvement Company for the de-
molition and removal Of the Hygeia Hotel
property from the government reservation
at Old Point, Va. to authorize Washington
and Westmoreland counties, Pa, to con-
struct a bridge across the Monongahela

to construct and operate an underground
railway under land owned by the United
States in New York city.

Mr. Cullom, went into executive session,

APPETITE COAXHNG.
NOT NECESSARY WHEN PROPER FOOD Is
USED.

Coaying up an appetite Is hard work and un-
necessary when little thought is given to scien-
tffc feeding
Fill the stomach with the wrong stuff and 1t Is
not long before the palate, too Is affected, and
even the sight Of food is nauseating. Stomach and
nervous Ills Of all kinds come and the body
Is left without nourishment.
Then take on Grape-Nuts for a few days and
see the difference Eating is longer a duty,
but delight. for the food is made Of the proper
grains prepared In a natural. scientific manner
and the favor Is delicious. The case OF a school
ma'am Of Cedar Mills, Mimi, is interesting She
writes: II used to go without lunch many day,
not finding 1t tasty. In consequence usually had
severe headache before the afternoon session
and felt nervous and cross.
II had almost concluded to give up teaching on
this account when a friend induced me to try
Grape-Nuts. ] will say frankly did not care for
1t at first, but tried it two three times and
then found myself beginning to enjoy the crisp,
nutty flavor.
THE food has changed the order of my life i
carry 1t for lunch every day now. The color has
come back TO my cheeks and lips and l have no
more headaches nervous spells.
My body is full of energy and new iife and
life seems worth the living, MOO that have found
the proper food Name given by Postum Com
