The Word Jamaica.

The word Jamaica is variant Of the
aboriginal name OF the island-"Xay-
maca," which is a ombinatlon Of two
words signifying water and wood. As
Jamaica is known as the ''island Of
springs" and produces an abundance
OF trees and vegetation, the name is
highly appropriate. Old English locaii-
ties are reproduced in jamaica. Thus
the island is divided into TbRee counties
-Middlesex, Surrey and Cornwall. The
parishes hardly correspond with the
counties. Why there should be par
fish of Manchester in Middlesex and a
parish Of Portland in Surrey is not ap-
parent at first sight, but the parish of
Trelawny in Cornwall is in perfect ac-
cord with the fitness of things. The
parish derives its name from Sir VIII
liam Trelswny, who was at one time
Ia.governor of Jamaica.-LondOn ChrOn-
iicle.

a Greek city of Ellis. which seems to
have been the center of the pea grow

sold his birthright was dish of peas.

Temperance Commissioner Busy
Druggists at Bismarck have refused
absolutely to sell either whiskey, al
cohol or Intoxicating liquors of any
kind regardless of what affidavit the
applicant may be willing to sign, and
Bismarck is now as dry as the pro-
verbal bone.
The druggists say they have lived
up TO the law as best they could, and
one and all feel that they have In a
sense been misrepresented by the in
ference of the temperance commits
sioner that they were doing an ille-
gal business on afidavits.

closing the blind pigs, there had
been remarkable epidemic of "dis-
ease Of the.stomach" and "disease OF
cold''many hundred pints of whlskey
having been necessary to alleviate
the suferings Of those who had sue
cumbed to the, insidious ailment.
Commissioner Murray says he will
sift the matter to the bottom and is
quite sure he will be able to find
enough evidence of violation of the
law to take the permit away from
some druggists. He is going at the
matter in a a...careful and methodical
way and when he, has worked out a
plan of action..will put it in operation

National Guard Notes-Adjutant
General Pool has.given out that the
state enca mpment will positively be
held at. Devils Lake this year. While
the date has not been definitely fixed,
on account of..certain correspondence
with the government.which has not
been fully closed the plan will be to
hold it about July 1920. There will
be about 700 state militiamen there
besides four companies of regulars
from Fort Lincoln. The regulars
will march overland from Bismarck.
Thers is talk that the IA ilitja com.
pany at. Fargo. maybe mustered out.
If it should be Devils Lake will
make an effort to have company.
In the last annual rep ort recon-
mendatiOn was made to have the
battery which is now located at Lis
bon mustered out for the reason that
Lisbon already has the regimenta]
band, and under the new law, not
more than --one militia organization is
allowed in the same county. If the
Fargo company is not 10 ustered out
Devils Lake will try to get the bat
terry,
Co. II. will send full company to
the encampment and expects to make
good showing, they have taken in
several young men recently. On the
81, 900 lot all but $50 has been raised,
and $500 will be sent in soon for rent
etc., little of which will need to be
touched. The IS, 900 to be given to
three com panies would mean lot to
Co. H. Dickinson and Bismarck will
probably get the apportionment, with
the third undecided. On Decoration
Day, co. H. will meet with the GA.
r. and march to Highland Home,
cemetery, after which the Woman's
Relief Corps will give dinner for
them in the W. r. @. hall.

School Standard HiRh-A large
number Of. educators from all quart.
ers Of the state convened at the state
university at Grand Forks to attend
the annual conference of superintend-
ents land prize pals. Nearly forty
were present. and besides these sever
al members of the university faculty
were In attendance. A great many
topics Of interest were. discussed and
the meeting will undoubtedly result,
as has every conference hitherto, In
bringing the high school men closer
together and in diffusing the :.bsst
ideas Of high school adm Illustration
and instruction. Several important
changes in the.htgh school curricul-
um were recommended to the high
chool-board. Biology was made an
elective. Advanced ::American his
tory vas made half year elective, as
we're also spelling and penmaDship.
Two important committees were ap-
pointed, one 70 draw up a complete
course in English for high schools,
the second to for mulate recon-
mended course of study for city
graded schools. The first committee
consists Of Superintendent Berg Of
Dickinson, Superintendent Godward
Of Devils Lake and Mrs. Mcdonald Of
Lidgerwood. The second committee
consists of Superintendent Smith of
Wahpeton, Superintendent Hoover of
Fargo, Superintend ent Wolfe of Min
OF, Superintendent Gray Of Grafton
and Superintendent Reed of Lisbon.
1t was further decided to require six.
teen courses for graduation in first
class high schools, beginning with
the class of 1910. This is a very high
standard indeed, and will put the
high schools of this state on par
with those of any other state.

False Reports The st. Paul Dis
patch got its hammer out on the
northwest and North Dakota and
some kid reporter summarized the
wheat conditions, claiming that
"only so per cent Of the seeding on
wheat has been done in North Da-
kota.' ~
Such statements may be all right
If intended to influence the market
but if they are meant to show the
true conditions in this state they are
malicious and false. The nortn half
Of the Red River valley and Cavalier
county. are the only sections in the
state that will bear out the assertion
Of the Dispatch.
There is..practically..as large wheat
acreage in the southern part of the
state as in average years. Wheat
seeding is completed in the southern
and central counties and is we'll ad-
vanced in the northern and north
western parts Of the state from Cav
alier county to the..Montana line.
Allowing for all hard luck stories
the wheat acreage in North Dakota
will be within fifteen per cent Of the
acreage of last year. The farmers OF
North Dakota are taking a philos-
phical view of the. situation. The
foliage .on the trees has not started
strongly nor has the grass shown to
a degree. There is no reason to howl
over the wheat crop till its seeding
is delayed beyond the point where
the foliage comes strong. There will
be a lot of wheat raised in North
Dakota if no feature prevents other
than the late spring.
The conditions elsewhere in the
country are worse than North Dako'
ia and there appears no cause fol
wild alarm.

for the shortage of labor in North

nent OF the prohibition laws Of North
Dakota. The result has been big
shortage OF booze. The news Of this
drought has gone into the labor head
quarters Of Minnesota, where the
largest number Of men come from
during the spring. The fact that
there isno booze around, he claims
has resulted IN these -laborers going

that many carloads Of laboren have

tiers Meet.

GVWu u WAS 6cAoNOcO yooGCIOey ~
Grand Forks as the place for the 1908
meeting Of the North Dakota States
Attorneys association. = There were
7 two Invitations for the session one
from Darlington and one from
jamestown, the latter, due to the
efforts of States Attorney Thorp OF
Stutsman county. being selected. The
session Of the States Attorneys As
ISOLATION and the State A uditors As
ISOLATION was opened yesterday, the
two organizations ..meeting lin joint
assembly. The response on the part
of the states attorneys to the open
ing address was made by George W.
Thorpe, states attorney Of Stutsman
county. He made.-a decidedly happy
hat whep he said in accepting the
key to the city, that the belief of the
association was that state lines did
not eliminate professionalism. He
called attention 20 the fact that an
official who had been as much con.
cerned in the enforcement of The pro-
hibition law as had the: gentleman
who lad welcomed the gathering to
the city, would not likely be willing
or able even if willing to deliver the
keys of the city of East Grand Forks.
He raised the legal original package
question and stated that the inter-
state commerce law should be upheld.
Passing from the humorous to the
serious, he stated that the associa-
tion of states attorneys was more
gathering Of great men than great
gathering of men, land then traced the
history of the organization from
small beginning to the present pro-
portions.
Attorney General McCue addressed
the meeting in a we'll prepared talk.
He dwelt in length upon the enforce
ment of the prohibition laws, took
up at some length the merits of
house bill 100, known as the law
which authorizes the seizure OF liquor
when. shipped into this state to be
sold. -.sThe laws were made by the ma
jority of the people and the whole
people must bend to the will of that
majority as written in the statues.
The majority of the people Of the
state, or rather Of the territory had
written the prohibition clause into
the states constitution, and il was
the duty of the officials to enforce
that law regardless of personal opin-
ions. 1t was probably the most
troublesome of all the laws to enforce
because it prohibited personal de.
sires. This state, he said, cannot ex-
ist, half saloon and half prohibition.
1t was absurd to believe that there
would be any respect for the law If it
were enforced in a part of the state
and openly violated in another part.
Violations of this measure were the
smouldering 6les Of anarchy which,
! once allowed to spread. meant the
overthrow of all laws. 4
Dean Bruce of the University, and
State Supt. Stockwell also gave in
teresting addresses.
Before the Auditors, State Auditor
Holmes participated in the discus.
slons of the new laws affecting their
duties.
