real value of their wares and do not sell for a penny or two produce worth .5 cents. It is found, too, that the garden experience makes wise marketers out of the children who learn so much about vegetables that the green grocer finds 1t impossible to palm off stale goods on lit- tie customers.
 But one thing, so far, has impeded the general spread of the leagues idea, ac- oording to it's officers. This Is dearth of properly equipped teachers, for it is found that while the practical gardener can teach children how to make things grow, he is unable to teach them the reasons for the various things or to deal scientfi- cally with the natural phenomena of plant life and the related insect kingdom For unless the garden plot also teaches the child much about the wonders of nature, and, through plant analogy. gives it con crete illustration of the importance Of plenty of fresh air and sunlight to himself 1t loses its greatest effect For the gar dens are not projected merely to enable children to selfshly raise things which they can eat It must be also an open sesame to natures wonders. In farming districts the garden also must give the child an elementary training in scientific farming methods, which, later. if he takes I'D agriculture, will lead him to employ scientific means instead of raising things in a haphazard historical way. Such work requires the services of a teacher who combines practical gardening ability with pedagogical ability and wide knowledge of elementary science or nature study. Such teachers, as yet are difficult to find as the movement is a new one in the educational field.
 The league, to meet this demand for teachers, has agreed to finance a special normal course in children's gardening in connection with the general pedagogical department of the New York University Summer school.
 The university has secured for the gar dening class the use of a large garden adjoining the campus on University Heights, and will devote d building to the indoor class work. Under the leadership ,f Henry Griscom Parsons, secretary of the league, the students will be given practical instruction in planning and man. aging gardens, and in the making of such apparatus as is needed for class room demonstrations. Each student will te shown. how to prepare and plant and care for an individual plot, the same as children are expected to use. The insects, weeds and general phenomena of gar den will be studied with actual speci- 1nens The course is designed also to be Lelpful to teachers who wish to specialize n nature study work, as well as to those training for waiting positions a. garden ing supervisors.

MARMAR1H IS WILD AND WOODY

AS the result of an explosion of a
lantern during the night the entire
business section of Inkster was laid
in ruins, entailing a loss of nearly
$l4O,OO0. Many people have been
made homeless, and with the win
ter coming on will be hard pressed
to prepare against the cold. The
confagration started in bin of the
Minneapolis & Northern elevator
late Thursday night of last week and
was not extinguished until late the
following afternoon. One of the
employees of the elevator company
was working in the building when
he accidentally dropped the lantern
in the bin, Immediately setting fire
to the house, which spread with
increasing vigor and for while
the entire town seemed doomed.
Before it was brought under con-
troll three business blocks in which
the main business firms of the city
were located, were destroyed. For
tunately none of the inhabitants of
the town were injured or killed.
lnkster is a thriving little town
near Larimore, N. D.

WIBAUx ITEMS

From the Pioneer, Oct. 8.-Messrs
A. G.. and B. j. Parsons are in
town today with a shipment of
about 10 cars of cattle which are be-
ing loaded for the Chicago market.
Cummings Bros. and Temple Bros.
will also have d small lot in the
same shipment. ss.r
Rev. E. N. English conducted
service in the Episcopal church at
this place on Tuesday evening.
This being his first visit to Wibaux
for several months owing to his
recent illness, which necessitated
an operation, while on his vacation
at Seattle. However, at this time
he is greatly improved in health,
and expects to be able to hold regu-
lar meetings at Wibaux in the fu-
ture, as he has done in the past.
A sad event took place last Satur-
day at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
M. Woohull, when their youngest
child, who recently came to cheer
their home, took her flight for that
home where there are no tears nor
parting. The funeral services were
conducted at the home Of Oscar
Holmquist on Tuesday, by the Rev.
Alex. Douglas. The bereaved par
ents have the heartfelt sympathy of
their many friends in their recent
aff1iction.
S. M. Wills of our town, who
sold to Minnesota parties, his pac-
ing horse, Zip Bang, received a let
ter a few days ago from a Mr..
Adams, Of Fargo, saying that Zip
Bang had gone an easy mile in
2:1O, last half in 1:O3, last quarter
in 80 seconds, and had frequently
gone miles in 2:16 and better and
that any fear of his not going the
bout was dispelled which any one
would suppose who knew his good
breeding. Mr.. Wills is naturally
proud to hear this and qualities that
Zip Bang is the fastest PAGER in
the world.

II am back again after several

goan to the Forum the other day.
1 had a claim," he continued,
near Marmarth and was later en-
ployed at Dickinson. There are
some good feature about that west
ern country and if the people ever
decide to observe the state laws
more closely it will be one of the
finest sections of the state. While
the soil around Marmarth is some-
what sandy, with a reasonable
amount of moisture it is very fer
tile. The settlers found it trifle
dry the past season, but with any
thing like good crops next year
they will be in fine shape.
Il see Gov. Burke is making a
big claim about enforcement of
the prohibition law. Why doesn't
he get busy out there. In many of
the towns along theMilwaukee ex-
tension booze is sold as freely and
openly as in Moorhead. Of course
the citizens in some of the towns
are enforcing the law. 1 understand
that Gov. Burke is telling the pro-
hibitionists Of the valley what great
things he accomplished there.
"At Marmarth, everything is typi-
cally wild and woolly. There have
been murders and robberies. Some
Of the raids o. the blind pigs were
joke. One raid caught several
men, but the sale of booze was re.
sumed a few minutes aftersthe offic.

Offered Another Job

Communicated: According to
the Beach Advance of last week it
seems that a Mr.. Drewnack COM
plains of the delay of a letter,
from sometime in July to some-
time in August or September,
at this office. Now, if the Ad-
vance man will give the present
and future whereabouts of said Mr..
Drewnack, l will guarantee the
prompt delivery of all his mail.
l had been trying to find his loca-
tion since last spring, and found
that he was a transient somewhere
between Mr.. Stoddard's ranch
and Yule; that he has a homestead
on the Yule route; that he has no
mail box on the route. This
letter he speaks Of was somewhere
on the Yule route since last July.
It is very evident that he has not
been on his homestead; he has had
his mail sent to four different
places on the route. Now, am
not hunting Mr.. Drewnack with
a letter in my pocket. Let him
put up box on the route the same
as the rest of the patrons.
And l see the Advance man has
a kick coming in regard to his pa
pers not getting to Burkey and
Carlyle until Tuesday following
publication. This did occur some
times, but not of late. If his
papers reach this office before z
o'clock a. M, Saturday morning

increase is therefore about 13 per
cent. The number in the freshman
class is 127 although only two years
ago, the freshmen numbered only
68. This increase, amounting to
over 86 per cent in two years, is
highly gratifying to- all concerned

MEDoRA HAPPENINGS

From the Herald, Oct. 7.-On
last Saturday two trainloads of beef
left Medora for the St. Paul and
Chicago markets. It was expected
that upwards of eighty carloads
would be shipped at this time but
the division of about dozen cars
to the Milwaukee road by two or
three shippers in the south part of
the county and the unsatisfactory
condition of the market operated
to cut it down considerably. How
ever there were forty-eight cars in
the shipment.
The Sand Greek mail route from
Medora to Sand Greek was discon-
tinued last week and the ranchers
along the route are pulling wry
faces over their predicament as
some of them are now twenty-five
to thirty miles from a postohice.
Sand Greek is being served by
new route going out from Bowman.
Our "Sunny Jim" will not have
to face the cold blasts this winter
as the probabilities are that he will
be appointed postmaster here to
succeed A. D. Ferris who has sent
in his resignation.
Last Saturday night the little
four weeks old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Thoman died atDickin-
son, where Mrs. Thoman had taken
her for treatment. The little one
was attacked with an abcess when
only a few weeks old and after
wards with bowel trouble, which
terminated with spinal meningitis.
Mr.. Thoman took the early train
Sunday for Dickinson and the fun
eral was held at that place and the
interment made in the Dickinson
cemetery.
A basket social and farewell re-
ception will be given next Friday
evening, Oct. 10Th, at the Hotel Me-
dora, in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
A. Ferris and family, who are soon
to move from our midst after hav-
ing lived here for twenty-seven
