School Notes
New LEGISLATION
4 By County Supt. F. M. Sherarts
oooosesoosssos


We have sent out this week copies of
new legislation to the clerks of all dis
tricts. We wish to call the attention of
school boards to some important changes
in the school laws.
The law basing the school census
upon the number of children who have
attended school for sixty days has been
repealed and the old law is again in
force with the following exceptions:
1st. No child shall be counted who
has been in attendance at any model
school or school supported by the state.
End. No district shall draw any ap-
portionment money if less than 500 of
the children enumerated have been in
attendance for less than GO days.
1t is now necessary for all school
boards to consult with the county su-
porintendent in regard to proper con-
struction, lighting, heating and ventila-
tion, before a new school house can be
erected.
| AO low AdSo OCCu 81 Uudl
whenever sum of money in the sinking
fund of a. school district amounts tc
500 or more, the district is permitted
to. deposit the same in bank approved
by the school board
The compulsory education law has
been amended so that child living
three miles from school can be COM
PEELED to attend school, and all children
living more than three miles from school
must be transported by the school
board.
Before bonds can be sold to the state
now, it is necessary for the school board
to file with the county auditor resolu.
tion passed by the school board provid.
ing for an annual levy for the interest
and for the establishment of a sinking
fund. This resolution gives the county
auditor authority to add such levy
whenever the school board fails tc
make the levy.

Land Commissioner o. I. Hegge was
reappointed state land Commissioner by
the board of university and school lands.
This is deserved compliment to the
popular and efficient commissioner, who
all hands agree has made good at all
points during the past two years, and
his appointment will be heard of with
pleasure by large number of friends,
not only in this city, but throughout
the state.-Bismarck Tribune.

There is an old proverb to the effect,
that it would require eighty one taiiors
to make base ball nine, but we have
one Taylor in this state who can pitch
base editorial balls with such sarcastic
curves that the casual reader would
think that there were nine of him alto
gether.
Personally, he is very Adonis
Though historically it was but. a short
time since when he was called "A-Den-

falling short Of the en- -fat-ic, his cheeks
are of the muscular and brick-hewed
style, while a pretty mustache hangs
eave-like over ripe tomato mouth with
lips so red and sweet and tender, that
they say that the LaMoure girls requir-
ed him to get a certificate of analysis
from Prof. Ladd before they would ac-
cept them as legally tender.
This blooming blossom of the Dakota
prairies is the picture of fresh young
beauty, and of beautiful freshness. In.
deed freshness is his forte, (he is about
forty anyway. But alas, this pretty
flower in crow-nickel pot, has ''worm
i the bud.'' Notwithstanding his youth
and beauty there are signs of prema-
ture old age. There are gray hairs
among the somewhat brownish curls.
We are sorry to see these evidences of
decay, not to say rottenness, in our young
and handsome brother and all the more
SO as they seem to be self inflicted. The
old and aged, whose infirmities are the
natural result of accumulated years are
certainly objects Of pity, il not Of vener-
alton, but the young and strong who
cultivates those habits Of mind that des-
troy and sour, is indeed spectacle of
piteous infirmity far beyond that Of
natural senility. VI

TURKEYS ARE
QUITE SCARCE

The butchers have not as yet received
any shipments oftturkeys and accord
ingly are not in, a.position to state the
price of them.
One of the leading men in the trade
said that the birds would probably be
as high as thirty cents q pound. This
is eXorbitant and it is doubtful If There
will be many handled.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. .Nov.s21:-The reports
received here from dealers and buyers
of poultry all over the central west and
southwest Indicate that the turkey crop
this year will be exceptionally short
and in consequence it Is likely that
many dinners all over the land will on
next Thursday be mifTlis tho usual bird
Local produce and poultrx dealers de-
clare that the scarcity will force the
price up to between thirty cents and
forty cents a pound before Thanksgiv-
ing day has dawncd. This will make "a
a price that Will be proliibitivc TO the
heads of thousands OF ho,ischolds.
The changing weather last spring
which caused a great increase in the
mortality rate among. turkeys is given
as the cause of the scarcity and the
consequent high price. Turkeys are the
tonderest of domestic fowls and the
hardest to raise. The late spring caught
millions of young turkeys, in it's icy
blasts, and for every degree that the
thermometer went down a correspond
ing raise now appears in the price oi
Thank sgiving turkeys. Many farmers

of the great care re1nircds in bringing

MAY RESTORE
AGREEMENT

The boss builders of this city and the
union bodies are about to make another
effort to unite and break up the open
shop. which has existed for nearly the
past two years.
Numerous meetings between commit
tees from the organizations have al
ready been held and to date the results
indicate success. The bodies are prac-
tically together but for one union. The
Mason and Brick layers Union and the
bosses seem unable to reach an agree
ment Numerous typewritten copies
have been made up, but each seems to
contain stipulations unsatisfactory TO
the opposite party. Thus, this matter
has been hanging fire for months An
other attempt is to be made to have
the open shop wiped out before spring.
