Anaconda, Mont, April 2l.-Marga-
ret Sullivan Of Butte, schoolteacner on
Modesty creek, a little box of school
house, has adopted novel methods to IN
crease the attendance of pupils and TO
interest the parents in the needs OF the
school. Previous teachers never have
been able to secure the attendance OF
more than half dozen pupils, but now
the little schoolhouse is filed to over
When When Miss Sullivan reached the
school, after having secured the ap-
pointmert as teacher, she found the
room dirty and the windows unwashed
for many long moon, so instead of
school, the teacher had a housekeeping
bee and set her pupils to work scrub
bling the floors and washing the WIN
dows. When they had finished, every
thing was as bright as a new dollar.
In looking over the stock on hand, the
teacher found that the only book Of
reference was dictionary, in a very
dilapidated state. Next day she said
to her pupils: .r
"Tell. your folks at home that we are
going to give dance at the school
house Friday night and ask them to
tell everybody else -~ =
The news spread to the farmers and

came, the people gathered from far and
near. They found the desks in the
schoolroom had been moved out of the
way. A tent was erected just outside
tho door where the wraps and the ba-
bies could be left, and inside, fiddler
and an organist. recruited from local
talent, were providing music. The teach
er stood at the door and demanded
"four bits from each male attend
ant, and the money rolled in so fast
that there was enough to buy sixty-five
books, and so now there is library
started "
The dance was such success that
soon another one was held, and the
school now has a globe and several
maps for the walls. In the meantime,
the attendance increased. Some of the
big boys who met the teacher at the
dance, decided that their education had
not been completed and started in to
school again. The trustees simply had
to raise the teachers salary, and they
did.
| Modesty creek now has about TWEEN
tv-fve pupils and is one Of the most
furnishing schools in the county. Miss
Sullivan will finish out the term, but
she has announced she will not teach
another She has planned to 60 to
Vassar to finish her education-that is,
unless she decides to accept one of the
many offers of marriage she has re-
ceived

Valley City, N. D., April 21.-Valley
City is justly famous for being the most
beautifully situated city in the state
and for having the most progressive
women s clubs. It's valley location, it's
background Of bluffs-some wooded, it's
picturesque. Sheyenne river, its eighty
acres of natural timber within the city
limits, a good part of it constituting
natural park, all tend to give the city
a reputation for natural beauty, while
its four federated clubs and their work
make it widely known as the leading
club city in the state.
1t was thru the untiring work Of the
Tuesday club, the pioneer in the city,
that Andrew Carnegie was induced to
give public library to Valley City,
and the same ladies furnished fine lot
for it and saw to it that the building
was an architectural gem.
At joint meeting Of all the women s
clubs of the city, following the meet
ing Of the State Federation, the talk
turned upon the unkept condition of
the streets, and hearty interest being
at once awakened, each federated club
was. asked to elect committee of two
to cooperate in formulating a plan for

Morris tribune., 1906-02-03

A special dispatch to the Minneapo-
lis Tribune says that something de-
cidedly new in plants to most people
in the state is the SQUAD plant. Spen-
Ger has one, and so has Ruthven on
the east of it, and Sanborn on the west
of it. But even in this section of the
state SQUAD farming is no open book.
A squad plant is the home of many
thousands of pigeons or doves. The
one here is owned by the Northwest
ern SQUAD Plant company, and is
managed by w. J. Beckett. The in
vestment in buildings for fixtures are
small, no elaborate buildings or quar-
tiers; nothing is expensive in SQUAD
raising. The plant here consists of a
frame building approximately 5ox2o
feet in size, and small sales building
well heated. A comparatively small
area of ground to the south is wired
and fenced SO that the birds may have
exercise and freedom to fly about a
little. They must be in the open air
as much as possible.
Another distinctive feature about
the business is the fact that almost
anyone with a moderate supply of
sense can engage in it and make a
success of it.
There is nothing intricate about it.
SQUAD farming is well adapted to the
persons who are physically unable to
do hard manual labor, who yet seek a
vocation that will keep them out of
doors as much as possible. On the
surface it seems to be business we'll
adapted to those who want a well
paying side line.
Choice white squads, the young of
the pigeons, are said to be always in
demand on the market. They com
mand the highest prices of all poultry
or game. It takes from 20 to 40 days
to raise squad worth rs to 40 cents
each, and every pair of homers, the
kind that are raised at Spencer, will
raise from to II pairs of young per
year. With reasonable luck, coupled
with the best care, 500 pairs of birds
will bring the owner neat little in
come each year of about 81, 900. This
is estimated clear of all expenses.
The cost of keeping pair of homers
a wear is estimated at about SO cents.
There is little risk in the business,
provided the keeper sees that the old
birds are provided with food at each
nightfall. Chickens must be fed by
the keeper, but the old pigeons feed
their own young, and do it much bet
ter than any man ever can.

WHEAT IS NOT
50 GOOD.
DETERIoRATEs WITH THE LAND.
Prof. Harry Snyder Talks, on I'm
portanCe of Diversified
Farming.

Prof Harry Snyder of the state ex-
pertinent station talked to a large
number of the regular and special
students of the school of agriculture
Monday night on 'wheat growing in the
Northwest" He said that when wheat
was first grown in the state the yields
were much larger than at present,
going as high as forty bushels to
the acre in some Of the southern
counties that now yield fourteen or
fifteen bushels.
Prof. Snyder said that the wheat of
today is not SO good as that grown in
the pioneer days. The wheat is be-
coming more starchy in character.
He said that wheat is an exhaustive
crop and that the reason that the
wheat lands have become so low in
available plant foods is because in all
wheat countries one crop system
has been followed. He thinks bet
ter grade of wheat will be grown in a
short time as the wheat farm will have
to give way to the general farm on
which wheat will be staple crop fol-
lowing in regular rotation with other
crops.

New Code Will Render Collection
For Impure Goods Impossible.
The new code, when it goes into
effect March 1 next, will make several
changes in the pure food laws and
impose several additional obligations
upon the dealers. The new code bars
candies colored with coal tar dye and
makes no exception to the rule, even
if the product is labeled with the
names. After March l all candy
must be colored only with vegetable
color. 'FThis law we intend to enforce
rigidly," said Mr.. Slater. Under the
old law we could not prosecute unless
we proved that the candy was injurious
| to health. Under the new law we do
| not have to prove this, but only that
| it is colored, and the coal tar dye is
easily detected. There is no question
that it is good law, as even if the
product is labeled it gets into the
hands of the children with whom it
may work much harm. Another new
section which will make a decided
change, tho do not know how it will
work out, is that which makes the
bill uncollectable for illegal goods
sold The section provides that ono
action shall be maintained for the
purchase price Or value of any goods
the sale of which is prohibited by this
chapter, or which are sold in manner
forbidden hereby. Nor shall any
pers on be liable for the price or value
of food Or board furnished in violation
of any provision hereof. So if any
dealer buys adulterated goods from
the jobber, or the consumer from the
dealer, he cannot be compelled to pay
for it. And if any hotel or boarding
house furnishes impure food to it's
guests it cannot collect the board bill"
