PRETTY YOUNG SCHOOL
TEACHER DEMANDS OATS
As She Carries Mail on One of
the Burlington Routes, She
Says the Farmers Must Fur.
nish Feed for Her Horse.

According to Miss Mary E. Nc
Grath, a pretty young school
teacher from Burlington, who by
the way is the mail carrier on
Burlington Rural Route No. /,
south from that place. as a car
rier has no business buying oats
for her horse, but the farmers
along the route must furnish the
feed. Miss McGrath in a letter
to one of the farmers says:
Uncle Sam said that any mail
carrier who bought feed from the
farmers along his route, was too
silly to carry the u. S. mail and
ought to be at the home for
feeble minded and he is right in
that too" Miss McGrath then
went on to say that in all eastern
states all feed is freely furnished
mail carriers, and gave the far
mer instructions to throw a sack
of oats in the window Of the
blacksmith shop at Burlington.
AS Miss McGrath gets $45 a
month for teaching school and
$3.50 for every trip she makes
carrying the mail, which is done
out of school hours, she gets paid
very we'll for her work. Some of
the farmers have complied with
her request for feed, but there
are others who think that she is
entitled to pay for their oats.

Leland, No. Oak.
Editor Independent:
wanted to write an article for
the Independent sometime ago,
but have not had. or rather have
not taken the time. This being
just before election, will make
that the subject Of my remarks.
wish it distinctly understood
that l am no politician, just. a
common plain farmer, and second
ly, I am getting no pay for writ
ing this. The writer can live,
and do it well, on a rich 100 acre
North Dakota farm, so it makes
little difference to him what par
ty comes into power. The great
trouble today is profit. If it is
right to make 20 cents on the
dollar, then it is right to make
SO cents on the dollar, or So out
Of one dollar.
We are all bound to live off
from one another, in the way Of
profits.
Years ago things were made by
hand and it took twenty men or
more day to make a certain ar
ticle that one man with the great
machines can make in one day.
The capitalist owns the machine
and the workman operates it.
But what do the workmen get?
Just what the negroes received
who were owned by their mas
tiers before '64-just enough to
keep them in good working order.
Four years ago on New Years
day, almost 600 people were
burned to death in a Chicago
theatre. The direct case was
profit. According to the law, the
oil tank should have been located
outside the building but that
would have cost something, for
land is dear and human bones are
cheap. So the law was not en-
forced, and for gain the people
were burned.
I hear the complaint Of the
many prostitutes in Minot this
fall. If the women were getting
enough to live we'll and dress
well, in the various lines of work
the number Of these bad women
| would be reduced very much.
I am telling no one how to
vote, but the Socialists have a
full ticket. They stand against
one man making profit off an
other. They say that each work.
man will get at least $2500 a year
for an eight hours day, but if
the capitalists come on again,
which they likely will, the wages
are liable to get lower yet. You
may be sure that there will be
more men out Of employment,
and rents and living will be
higher. You may look for gener-
al hard times effecting most
everybody but the rich.

District So has completed a

ey will be used to build three
school houses.
District 1O3 has bonded for
$500 for the purpose Of building
a school house.
Districts 120 and 125 have
adopted the recommended list of
text books and will furnish them
free to the pupils.
Foothills district 107 will bond
the district for the purpose of
supplying another school.
LaFollette district Ill is con-
sidering the proposition of bond
ing to build two school houses,
one to be located at the new town
of Plaza.
A meeting Of the presidents of
the school boards in Ward coun-
ty will be called at Minot about
the last Of November. This meet
ing is arranged for the purpose
of discussing all matters per-
tanning to the educational work
in the county. All school men,
and others interested in school
management, will be given an
opportunity to present any sub
ject of local or general interest.
At the October examination,
inst nassed. ninety-One teachers
took the test at Minot, and twen-
ty at Mohall. Forty-seven of
these were completing certificates
by making up subjects in which
they failed at the August ex-
animation. Two applicants wrote
for first grade certificates.

AS there is more money in the

to have some legislation passed

ed in cher ways. If all the school
land in Ward county alone should
be sold at the minimum price OF
$50 per acre the school fund
would be increased about 81, 900,
600.
The unusual shortage Of COM
petent teachers impresses upon
us, more and more, the necessity
of another Normal school, in the
western part of the state, where
a larger number of teachers
could be trained, to keep pace
with the rapidly increasing num-
Der of schools.
Work on the Grano school house
is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. The building will con-
sist Of four rooms and when COM
pleted will be a credit to the
town and community. Nothing
so appeals to a prospective in
weston or settler as an attractive
and modern school building. The
people of the district deserve
praise for the harmonious efforts
that have made it possible to Sc.
cure such an important institu-
ton 50 soon after the establish.

Mr.. Bowen said that the price now

that il would be impossible to secure

In his address, Mr.. Bowen took I'D
