Teachers Must First Ne Tausht How

The Idea of teaching farmers chit.

" and apparently without any well de-
fined lines OF operation. The boards Of
education In the different states have
different Ideas on the subject. Few
Of them have given the matter any
thing like the consideration It deserves,
and the result Is an unsatisfactory con.
dillon of teaching In the rural schools.
In some States educational boards
are political. and the only object they
have In introducing farm education IL
In the hope that It may influence the
farmer vote. In very few instances,
even where the course of study Is along
correct lines. teachers are utterly I'M
htted to teach II. Most teachers IN
the rural public schools come from the
towns and cities. know nothing Of
farming. care less and have no partic.
ular Interest In that branch Of their
work.

fathers business than they already
know. unless teachers are employed
who know more than the farmers do
themselves?
Farm education will never be sue.

the agricultural college and which Is

and who have been educated at agrl.

N. P. OFFICIALS
MAKE INSPECTION
General Manager Slade and Party
Spend Night in City.
Delegation Of Business Men Confer With Them
Regarding New Depot, but Officials
Would Not Commit Themselves.

A batch of Northern Pacific officials
spent last Thursday night in the city.
They were out on tour of inspection
of the road. In the party were: Geo. T.
Slade, general manager; F. w. Gilbert,
general superintendent; G. A. Mitchell.
assistant general passenger agent; all
of St. Paul; A. M. Burt, division super
intendent; F. ingalls,, supervisor of
bridges and buildings; Mr.. Burdick,
travelling freight agent; John Covar,
road overseer; all of Jamestown; G. R.
Merritt, travelling freight agent of
Fargo and Mr.. Hackenburg, assistant
superintendent of the Minnesota divi-
sion. The two latter joined the party
here Friday morning.
Mr.. Slade's private car arrived from
jamestown at three o'clock in the after
noon and the business men of the city
took it upon themselves to confer with
the officials in regard to that promised
new depot. A delegation of business
men invited the party to the First
National Bank, where the matter was
informally discussed. After a short
time spent there the officials were given
an automobile ride about the city,
which was much appreciated by the
visitors. Many things of interest in a
commercial way were pointed out and
a more favorable opinion of the city
made with the officials.
The railroad men were rather reticent
as to what they intended to do. It is
generally recognized that better accom-
modations are needed. The work Of
the Northern Pacific and North Western
is conducted in the same building that
was built when the roads entered Oakes
twenty years ago. There has been nc
attempt made to keep abreast with the
growth of the city, and the business
men have debated the subject enough
among themselves to have a very cleal
understanding that they stand ready Il
do something for the road that will d,
something for Cakes.
1t is a.matter that is up, not only t.
the Northern Pacific, but to the othel
roads that enter the city. Oakes is on
of the main points on the N. P, ye
that road has not passenger station
or even freight house, it can call it
own. For that reason the people o
Oakes look to the N. P. to make tn
initial move in the way of getting
depot and action is looked for this year

Newspapers Compared With
Handbllls.

A newspaper has 5000 readers for
each 1000 subscribers. A merchant who
puts out 1000 handbills gets possibly 800
to 400 people to read-that is, if the boy
who is trusted to distribute them does
not chuck them under the sidewalk.
The handbills cost as much as half
column advertisement in the home
paper. All the women and girls and
half the men and boys read the adver-
tisements. Result-the merchant who
uses the newspaper has $500 more
readers to each 1000 Of the papers.
There is no estimating the amount of
business that advertising does bring to
q merchant, but each dollar invested
in advertising brings to the investor
somewhere from SO to 500 worth Of
business.

Affecting Reconciliation Between Two

There is certain couple who de-
clded to separate awhile ago. 1t
seemed that they were not afiinities,
after all, and life together was unen-
durable, so the wife packed up her be-
longings and was preparing for trip
home. At the time of parting she
picked up their little pet dog and
tucked him under her arm, while her
other managed the suit case.
why, you're not going to take
Trixy!" exclaimed the husband.
"Of course l am" she announced. Il
couldn't live without him"
We'll, l cant let the little fellow

And l simply won't leave him." she
declared.
So they argued for half an hour, at
the end OF which she decided to stay,
and unpacked to cook dinner, at which
Trixy was the guest of honor.
