1t now appears that an effort
will have to be made to increase
the enrolment at the state peni-
tentiary before the new twine plant
can be put in operation. Three
new granite buildings have be. Il
constructed at cost of $4,000 to
accommodate the new plant, and
the machinery will cost about
$4,000. Now it is discovered that
there are only 1917 inmates at the
penitentiary and los of these are
needed to run the shirt factory.
The rest are all needed to work ia
the kitchen, on the farm and do
other kinds of work so there is no
available help to run the twine
plant if it is installed. Perhaps
this is an opportunity for our
judges to come to the front and
help us out.

The plan to establish postal saw
ings banks does not seem to be
growing in favor as the matter is
discussed. The security feature
seems te1 be the only thing to COM
mend it, While the inevitable result
of Withdrawing the funds deposited,
from theilocal communities and
concentrating, them in the large
money centers is a serious objec-
tion, If the local banks could offer
the same security to depositors that
would be afforded by postal savings
banks there is no reason why they
should not receive the entire depos-
its. They could then give the de-
position every advantage offered by
the postal system, and the money
SO deposited would remain in cir
culation in the local communities.
This security can be given, either
by requiring the state banks to de-
post with the state, and national
banks with the federal government
securities sufficient to cover their
deposits and then letting the state
and national governments guaran-
tee payment to depositors, or thru
the organization of bank associa-
tions in which the associated banks
would bind themselves, by proper
securities, to pay the losses occa-
stoned by any bank failures.

The teachers district meeting
held in Springfield last Saturday
was a decided success from all
points OF view. Only four who
could be expected to attend this
meeting were absent. The nine
teen public school teachers, the
Normal school faculty Gall except
one), number of students, and
several patrons two Of whom drove
in six miles) made up gathering
that gave much encouragement to
the work. All Of the papers read
were exceptionally good. 1t is to
be regretted that space will not
permit the printing of each OF
them. The exercise in Phonics
and Reading given by Mrs. Cooper
with a class of small pupils, is de-
serving of special mention as it
! showed in such convincing and
practical way the method of pre-
senting these two very important
subjects. The songs by the pupils,
the violin solo by DR.. Buckle, and
the reading by Miss Boyd were
highly appreciated by all. Hon.
Geo. W. Snow presented to the
teachers the matter of endeavoring
to raise funds in their schools for
the erection of a suitable monu-
ment on the site of the first school
house in the Dakotas. Much in

the cedars that concealed the line OF

crouched and rose, three rifles cracked
as one. With a great crash the horse
struck the wall and tumbled. rearing

clearing the wall, was borne on

in a drama emerged upon a sage.
Zmai and Chauvenet flashed into view

between them and back through the
gray curtain Armitage gave the word,

Durand was out of sight, and Chau-

uneasily; then he spoke sharply to

through the wet underground at dog
