School Greeting.

The poet has said, Time is
Fleeting, " and at no time during
the year does this statement be-
come more a matter of fact to
both teacher and pupil than dur
ing the closing days of their sum-
mer vacation. Not that they
dread meeting each other face to
face; but the teacher shrinks, as
it were from assuming the neces-
sary dignity, responsibility and
mental strain which go hand IN
hand with the profession, and the
pupils, who have spent their VI
cation in the sunshine and invig-
Grating breeze of the Montana
prairie, dread the advanced work
in the next grade and the re-
straining hand Of their loving
teacher.
Rather than dread the work
before US, let US assume an opti-
mistic mood. Let patron, teach
er and pupil resolve to make this
the banner year for the Wibaux
school. We will adopt the new
state course Of study and change
several of cur text books which
will raise the standard of our
school.
wish to state In behalf Of any
new settlers, that we have a four
year high school course inwhich
We follow the course adopted BY
the state.
As Monday, September 2, is
Labor Day there will be no school;
however, at 1:3O p. ln., Monday,
we will hold our entrance exam
ination. Anyone who was con-
dltloned IN one or two studies
will be re-examined at this time;
also any pupils coming from 9TH
er schools will be expected to
come at 1870 Monday. and make
necessary arrangements for their
grading. Bring promotion cards
from last school attended or come
prepared to take review neces-
sary to place you in the proper
grade. I trust this matter viii
not be overlooked as we wish to
have all properly graded when
school opens, which will be on
Tuesday, September 3.

AS the contestants in the Pion-
eer's Popular Lady contest are
just now getting interested, and
as the time set for the final count

give the contestants a better
chance, and the manager Of the
Pioneer has, accordingly, with
the consent Of all the contestants,
extended the time for two weeks
more, which will make the date
for the close Of the contest on
Saturday, September q.

lit is about time that the shirt manu-
facturers yielded a similar concession to
us and turned out shirts in quarter sizes

"A lalf-inch allowance around the neck
for either collar or shirt band is entirely
too ample to make perfect fit possible
though it has taken the makers of collars
for our sex nineteen centuries to awaken
to this fact: let it be devouty hoped that
this period may be measurably lessenad
when the shirt manufacturers wake up to
the times.
ITO insure a perfectly fitting collar the
neckband of the shirt must likewise fit

LARGE COPPER CENTS

Gold plays a small part In numismatics
For one reason. the collection of gold
coins is perilous and expensive pastime
Because of their intrinsic value q collec-

burglar. who can melt them and disposa

lection. On the other hand. valuable

the thief. AS metal. the coins are worth
nothing to him, and dsposing of the co;,s

danger AS there are but a few collectors

with few exceptions the average
premium paid for rare gold coins is opiy

Village Bank Gets Them.

The rarest American coins are originally
unearthed in the farmlands. where the
boards of many years are taken from old
china pots, hosiery. chimneys and other
bucolc places of coin concealment and
carried in to the village bank. either for
deposit or payment on the mortgage or
in the purchase of somebody's cow. When
the heterogen. assortment of coins Is
passed over to The village receiving teller
that worthy keeps his eye out for any
rare coins that might be in the pile. He
has the lists of the principal coin dealers
before him and has studied them. He
substitutes copper cents and small silver
of his own for the pieces he thinks are
worth anything to him and the farmer is
mot hurt by something he doesn't know
about" What the village bank teller
overlooks in the way of rare coins is
sifted out by the city bank clerks when
the shipments from the country come in,
and If they should overlook anything one
may be sure that the sharp-eyed gentle
men at the various subtreasuries won't
be SO careless By the time the coins
drift into Washington to the Treasury
it would take a fine-toothed comb to
find anything worth more than its face
value.
The scarcity of valuable coins in Wash
ington has discouraged the numismatic
art in this city and there are but hand
full of collectors here who would them
selves accept the title. The late j. M.
Clamp was a Fading spirit and Mr. A. C.
Heaton is another local numlsmatist OF
prominence. Mr.. B. II. Collins. the local
colIector and dealer, has one Of the finest
collections of copper cents in existence.

Americans Are Teaching
British to Advertise
Special Correspondence of The Star.

LONDON, October 30, 1907.
Anger quarters recently have
been taken by the Carlton
Studio, which justifies attention
- being called to the fact that the
biggest pictorial advertising bust
ness in London is run by Americans.
Barely four years old, it now occupies
two floors of the magnificent New United
Kingdom building at the head of the
Strand. More than forty men are en-
ployed there. some of them receiving as
much as $1,000 year.
The studio has created a new demand in
English advertising-a demand for high
class drawing and artistic displays. 1t
was started by two Americans who are
not yet out of their twenties, and who
came to England determined to teach
American methods to the English adver-
Users. The first studio was established in
Fleet street, in small room with three
artists and solicitor The youthful re
formers" found no field for their artistic
creations. Art and advertising were not
on speaking terms In England. So they
set about creating demand. How well
they have succeeded their present -four

In talking with one of them, I learned
some interesting facts about the stu
alton.
big advertisers-like the famous beer
and ale brewers" said he. 'all the big
tobacco manufacturers. and some of the
more enterprising of the drapary and d.
partment stores, are taking the lead in
this surrender to American methods. 1t
is only within recent times that the draD-
cry shops have been taking big space in
the daily papers. Even now 1t is only
spasmodic, not regular thing like the
American stores.
-Four years ago the big advertisers in
England were unwilling to pay more than
n few shillngs for design. Now they
are willing to expend the same number OF
pounds. This has enabled much better
men to go into the business. We have
several men here who are drawing 5000
year. When that class of men turn
their attention to advertising work there
IS bound to be a big improvement.
1.-THE conditions here are different from
those in America, of course. In the
United States an advertiser can run
certain kind OF national publicity cam
paign in the advertising section of
magazine and get results. He may never
enter the pages of a newspaper. Here
the conditions are reversed. The maya
zines do not have so wide a circulation.
The newspapers are predominant. and it
is in their Columns that the big campaigns
are carried on.
1T is hard work educating the English
advertiser to the American idea, but now

The American Beauty's Defects.
From the Bohemian.

If we were to find particular fault with
our American beauties dominant in the
public eye today, it would be their lack
of facial strength. the absence of soul
quality which our strenuous national life
and feverish ambitions tend to nullify If
not annihiate. The nobility of counte-
nance, the calm. pure, steadfast express
sions seen in the faces of the great sculp-
lures might we'll be emulated by our own
beautiful women. We lack the simplicity,
the repose of the period that produced
those beauty types that have been ac-
cepted as a STANDARD for all ages. The
American girl, with all of her glorious
qualities. needs some of the serenity and
power of old Greece to make her more
perfect than she is. Her facial weak
points are in her nose and chin and FORE
head. Now and then one comes upon
the strong type, but it is the exception.

FACE VALUE OF THE PIECES

There Is a general impression at large
that one of the short cuts to wealth lies
in digging around grandmothers' garrets
and similar places until one happens upon
some old coins. minted in the early days
Of this republic, or perhaps even in CO.
ionial times With the idea that eager
and fanatic collectors are waiting to pay
fabulous premiums for this moth-eaten
currency the lucky finder hunts up a
dealer In coins, or numismatist, to use the
technical appellation In nine cases out of
ten the optimistic one returns home ward
with a lump of disappointment in his
bhorax. With brutal frankness the dealer
had explained the worthessness of the
fstful of old coins brought him SO eagerly.
These tragedies of disllusioned en-
thusiasm are due to the ignorance OF
the average citizen about numismatlcs.
The appearance in the columns Of the
newspapers from time to time of stories
chroDtcling the sale at auction of certain
old copper cents and gold dollars that
brought so many hundreds of dollars each
is a factor in the spreading of false ideas
about rare coins. Because a certain coin
OF certain date happened to bring GER
tain prise the uninitiated are apt to jump
TO the conclusion that all similar coins OF
similar date are worth similar price.
No greater mistake could be made. &C
cording to one of Washington's leading
numismatists. The date and denomination
of the coin are factors only in so far as
they determine whether there is any pre-
MUM at all. That is to Soy. the first
hing to be considered is the date and face
value of the coin. If It is one of the rare
issues some sort of premium goes with
it. But the amount of premium depends
.ntirely upon the condition of the coin. a
copper cent of rare date may bring about
80 cents in worn. nlutilated shape, where

Want Only United States Coins.

In this country collectors of foreign
coins are few and hence the only currency
of numismatic value is the United States
and colonial issues. Strange as 1t may
seem, there is a superabundance of the
coins of ancient Europe. Practically full
sets of antique Greek and Roman coins
of all denomina tons and metals are easily
obtainable, and the same holds true with
the mintage of the other European coun-
tries Their dense population and tn"
vanity of their successive rulers have al
ways encouraged the minting of abundant
currency. But in America in The early
days new issues were often started and
stopped before practically more than
handful or so of coins had been miated.
These issues are of course rated as the
most valuable. good idea of the value OF
premium coins of the United States can
be obtained from the following list. The
two prices quoted for each coin show the
difference in value between a piece in
good condition and in fine. "uncirculated'
condition. When badly mutilated or worn
the same coins will as general rule bring
about one tenth of the first price given.

With the Treasury here 1t would seem
that the rare old coins would surely find
their way to this city The contrary is
true, however and the explanation is in
tereSting.
