The City Schools,

The Dickinson public schools opened
on Monday with an increased attendance
over last year, the enrolment being $50
against 4o1 last year. Notwithstanding
the addition of mi new room up stairs
in the high school building, the grades
are already we'll filled. The same is
also true of the south side where 80
pupils were enrolled in one room the
first day. Next month the board will
open school in a room hired Of the St.
Joseph's church corporation, which will
ease up the pressure in this part of the
city. 1t is noticed that a larger number
of high school pupils than usual have
returned, and this is gratifying to Supt.
Davidson. There are eleven teachers in
the high school building and four in
South Dickinson, making fifteen in all
in the city. There are three teachers
employed in the outside schools, making
a total of eighteen teachers in the Dick
inson school district.
Following is the roster of the teachers:
K. L. Davidson, superintendent.
Mona Outram, principal high school.
Madge Yutrehus, assistant principal
and 9th grade.
Ida Hayden, 9TH grade.
Clare McGregor, 9th grade.

FROM reliable sources advice
comes that farmers should as far
as possible hold their wheat.
There is every reason to believe
that the price will advance and
that those who have wheat on
hand a few months later will real
ize a good thing. This should be
particularly true of Stark county
wheat which is known to be free
from smut. The present price of
about 90 cents per bushel is good
and those who are in immediate
need of money will take the
market price and feel we'll salts
fed no doubt. 1t is now becoming
known that the grain crop of this
county and country tributary is
much better than was expected
before harvest began.

japanese Military Superiority.

The battle of Liao-Yang will
strike the last blow at the hardy
fiction that still survives in some
quarters to the effect that, despite
their earlier reverses during the
war, the Russians nevertheless are
the superiors of the Japanese in
fighting ability. Heretofore the
Russians have been able to say
that their defeats we're due either
to inferiority of numbers or to un-
favorable location, as, for instance,
in places in which the Russian
artillery could not be used, or to
the fact that Russian STACEY in
volved continual retirement in
order to draw the Japanese where
the Russians wanted them.
With the battle of Liao-Yang
all these apologies for defeat dis
appear. The opposing armies
were somewhere near equal in size.
If the Japanese were more numer-
Gus, the ratio was apparently not
more than five to four, or at the
most four to three. Then the
Russians occupied the position
which all along they have been
claiming as the one in which they
most earnestly wished the great
battle to be fought. 1t was a
position in which they had been
able to construct defensive works
to their hearts desire, and in
which their artillery could be used
to the greatest advantage. 1t was
the position which by all consider.
atlons of strategy must be held
if central Manchuria was to be
seriously fought for at all.
The battle came, and the Rus
