members OF the faculty. taking the place
of Miss Crawford, who is at present study
ing at the University of Nebraska. The
music department is in charge Of Miss
Mary Bailey Of this city. succeeding Mrs.
II. c. Richmond.
The senior class has seventy members.
and in addition there is half a hundred
students pursuing the teachers training
course. This is a remarkable increase over
last year, when the graduating class num-
bered eighteen.
The model school started Monday morn
ing with a full attendance, there being
eight pupils in each grade and twenty in
the kindergarten department. The chapel
is crowded, and II is hard to find room for
all the students.
Among the novel features OF the school
is a class of ten Korean boys and young

ments of English by Prof Tate. They are
making excellent progress for beginners.
The outlook for athletics is exceedingly
bright There is some excellent material.

the large number OF students from which
to pick the players will make good teams
a certainty. Added to this is the growing
school spirit among the students. and their
enthusiasm for anything which tends IN
reflect honor on the institution. This will
have much 10 do with bringing success to
the foot ball team as well as other branches
OF student activities.

as we'll as interest on the principal.
Compound interest Is sometimes called
usurious. but this depends entirely
upon circumstances. A common case
where compound interest is used Is
where money due is paid by sundry
fnstallments. The laws of various
states usually fix the rate of interest
which may be lawfully charged, and
also the rate which will be allowed In
absence of agreement. Where there
10 no contract person Is obliged to
pay the legal rate. The amount which
can be charged In different localities
be usury In one state permissible in
smother. As usury is the charging Of
larger amount of interest than ID
allowed by law the penalty is some
times severe. In some states 1t Is the
loss Of both principal and interest.
ard in others 1t is criminal offense
punishable by fne and imprisonment.
When more than the legal interest
has been paid by borrower. through
ignorance of the law or other reasons.

Coupons are interest certificates at
tached to bonds. or notes. When they
become due you should cut them OF
and present for payment at the place
or to the person named in the bond.
The word coupon comes from the
French "couper, to cut" and 1t is a
convenient way of keeping track of
payments. For instance, woman
buys bond due. In five years, inter.
est payable annually. There would
be five coupons attached to the bond,
one of which she should cut of and
present for payment on each interest
day When all five coupons were paid,
the principal called for in the bond
would be due. Generally coupon Is
made payable to bearer and 1t is re-
ally 4 promissory note equal to the
amount Of interest due on. the bond.

you can deposit them in your bank

these notes are made payable to a GER

the transfer gives the purchaser all

this. in some Instances the maker can
not refuse to pay a note transferred

route No. 1, south from that place says
q carrier has no business buying oats
for her horse, but the farmers along

Uncle Sam said that any mail car
rier who bought feed from the farmers
along his route, was too silly to carry
the U. 8. 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 farmer instruc-
tons to throw sack of oats in the
window of the blacksmith shop at
Burlington. AS Miss McGrath gets
$45'a month for teaching school and

Skarstad bought the goods from a
merchant in this city and on this ac-
count was very wrathy when arrested
by the food commissioner. He con-
suited the wholesalers here soon after
his arrest and was advised by them
to fight the case to the bitter end. They
promised to uphold him, 1t is claimed,
Skarstad reconsidered the action af-
ter another confab with the local men
and appeared before the district court
judge in Crookston yesterday so as
to keep the costs Of the action as low

was fined $25 and costs amounting to

The Minnesota pure food inspector
says that the practice of North Da-

that won't come up to the North Da-
kota standards into Minnesota will
have to stop and he intends to keep
a strict watch hereafter. The Mime

as the North Dakota laws.
