State Depository Bonds,

AS the time draws near for the Civ
ing OF Depository Bonds by the
Bank to the State Treasurer there is
noted tendency on the part of many
OF the leading Bond Companies to
raise rates over those quoted a wear
ago, and to exact unpleasant condi-
tons as we'll. Others have cold feet
over losses at Peoria and other east
ern points and claim they are not anx-
ious for this class of business at
any price. The Hatcher Brothers
Corporation, with offices az Grand
Forks and Fargo, are prepared tn
handle this class of business prompt-
~, at reasonable rates, and do not
bother their clients to transportation
with red-tape methods or other nm
pleasant conditions. Send them a COPY
OF your last financial statement. stat
ing amount of bond wanted, with
other necessary particulars. and you
VIII receive rates by return mail or.
II necessary, by wire.
The Hatcher Brothers Corporation
are on the ground making speciality
OF this class of business and, knowing
conditions thoroughly, are prepared
to transact business more PROMPTLY
and with less trouble than any agency
or company operating from the Twin
Cities or points further east. They
nave the confidence of the, companies
for whom they are writing business,
reliance is placed upon their reports
as to character of business, in many
instances they are able to effect q
very material saving in rates and at
ter your bond Is written you will not
be bothered by repeated requests for
reports, etc.
All classes of Depository. Surety,
and Judicial Bonds promptly written

PLACE POLICE
ON MERIT
Chief Of Police Lowe Wants to Take
the Police Force Out Of Politics and
Have Merit Only Count.

Il believe that the police force of
Grand Forks should be taken out of
+ politics and placed under the merit
SYSTEM" said Chief of Police Lowe to
an Evening Times man yesterday.
While l do not complain that the
force of the city has been especially
IN politics, yet as a general PROPOSE
ton, better service can be obtained
from men who are dependent on con-
scientious work for their job and
promotion than from men who look to
the friendship of the politicians. Grand
Forks has a most efficient police
force, but believe that the city should
place the force under the protection
of civil service examination for the
appointment of new members and
seniority and excellence for promo
ton.
Under the present arrangement.
there is no telling when there will be
a radical change in the city admins
tration and general turning out Of
old and efficient officers to make room
for men to whom the administration
owes political debts. While this sort,
of a wholesale change may not be
probable, it is possible and should be
avoided.
again, 1 believe that the chief
would get better work out of his
force with less trouble If the men
all realized that they held their Jobs
by faithful service rather than by' po-
litical pull. independence is an Am
erican trait of character which we
all admire but willing obedience to
the man in the saddle is another ex-
cellent trait Of character which we
have not learned 30 we'll. as the for

have q willing and efficient bunch of
boys and I want to keep them as such
for the well being OF the city and not
to fall q victim to the first change in \
the administration" s.. i.s ms

of the enrolment
To support these schools the state
apportionment was $3.50 per papil
and the total expense $225,577.97. The
property of all descriptions owned by
the districts of Grand Forks county
is valued at s493.032.

Agriculture BY Correspondence.
Prof. Daniel +. Willard of the
Agricultural! college was in the city
last week attending the meeting OF
the North Dakota Educational assc-
citation. While here he discussed tb@.
rather novel departure being made by
the A. c. in it's agriculture by COR
respondence." The A. C. Offers an
elementary course in agriculture by
mail, While it will not be the aim
of the faculty to teach the art of farm
ing by mail. they hope to impart
enough of the theory and chemistry
of the subject to materially aid the
youth of the state.
In this connection Prof Willard
said: while we pride ourselves on
our free educational institutions, they
are not all free by long chance.
Free tuition does not mean free
schooling for the poor boy. He can,
to be sure, work his way through,
hut it is next to physical impossible
ity for, him to earn his living and do
justice to course of study. Tuition
is but a small fraction of the cost of
going to school away from home.
Board and clothes together with nee
essary incidental expenses, is several
times as large and when it is consid-
cred that course at the A. c. or
any other institution of higher elu-
cation is supposed to be all thai a
man can carry, the earning of his liv-
ing outside of this means almost an
other mans work loaded onto the
shoulders of the ambitious youth. Our
aim in this course is to bring the
work of the college to the home of
the boy or girl to secure the rudi-
ments of an education. | question
the wisdom of a boy or girl going
away from home without money and
trying to get through college. In
many cases it is advised. While
it is presumption to offer absolute
| advice to govern another's conduct
under any circumstances. it is more
presumptious under such circum-
stances to advise them either to stay
| at home or come. explain condi-
tons to them when they appeal to me
! and leave final judgment to them. We
hope the course by mail will not only
reach those who cannot come but
that it will create an interest in the
school to bring the Indifferent to us.
! If a boy or girl becomes interested in
the course by correspondence, they
will naturally be anxious to take the
residence course"

The Coming Town.

M. Norman: Grand Forks is the
coming town of North Dakota. 1t has
the best tributary territory in the
state and is growing very rapidly.
The increase in the enrolment of our
public schools indicate how rapidly
we are becoming city. More than
300 new pupils have been added to.
our schools within the. past two
years. We cannot erect buildings fast
enough to avoid congested condition
of things.

Kelly has over fifty on his STAFF at

has also doubled. Ten years ago it

schools of the city have more than

that the population Of The city has
increased 100 PEE cent since 1896.

STOCKS AND NECKWEAR.

Through this is drawn a short strip
with Kite shaped ends, practically
forming the tabs" which are sawed
on many stocks. The advantage Is that

other and knotted or pinned down as
liked in front.
The prevailing designs are those in
which all little tabs and outside pieces
are buttOned down deliberately with
little buttons and b~uttonholes.

though the we are about two
inches wide.

stitched finish to wear over linen
suits.
Inexpensive little jackets also are
seen AT the neckwear COunter One

Ing short sleeves has strips of lace
stitched on all over it in up and down
stripes with edge TO match. A firm
lace with a good selvage can be
chosen, the stitching being done
through the selvage, which forms a
good finish.
