SCHOOL NOTES.
Communicated

Mrs. j. F. Bertrand was a visitor
at the school last week.
David Brown joined the sixth
grade on Tuesday, increasing the
enrolment Of the Franklin school To
forty.
The fifth and sixth grades took a
short excursion to the slide" last
Monday 1t was a very pleasant as
we'll very instructive trip. The
various experiences were told the
next day by the pupils in stories for
language work, and also in talks
during the geography period.
Miss Greenwood brought to the
high school an offer from Miss Jones
(who taught here last year)to trans
fer to them seventy five dollar GER
titicate that she Miss jones' won in
a piano contest. After some DELHI
GRAFTON the high school decided that
the effort involved in raising the ad-
dtional 5000 was too much to be un-
dertaken at this time.
The teachers of the county took
possession of the high-school room
last Friday and Saturday. Fifty
three candidates We're present to
take the examinations. County
Supt. Hanson has now filled every
vacancy in the county. and larger
percentage than ever before hold
good certificates. Another policy of
the superintendent that is receiving
favorable comment is that of secur-
ing men to take charge of the
schools in the more sparsely settled
districts.
The pupils received their reports
last Friday. These reports are made
out with considerable thought on
the part of the teachers, and are de-
signed to give the parent as exact
an idea as is possible Of the work
that the child is doing in school, If
the report does not meet the approx
of the parent it is requested that
the matter be investigated. The
only way that the report can accom-
plish it's mission is by and with the
hearty cooperation of the parent
and teacher.
The high school are making great
use of the library. The magazines
and periodicals are particularly pop
ular We are receiving the Literary
Digest, the Outlook. the Grand
Forks Daily Herald, the Student.
the Atlantic Monthly, and the local
papers. All of this reading matter
is given to the school, the copies be-
ing sent complimentary to the
school, or the numbers are turned
over to the school after having been
received by private individuals.
This suggests an idea that posi-
bly, there are patrons of the school
that would be glad to aid by giving
some of their reading matter to us.
Many people do not care to keep
magazines after they have been
read. We can make splendid use
of them here. and will greatly APP
Ipreciate the gift of good reading
matter. The Review of Reviews,
McClure's, Munsey's, the Youths
Companion, Success, and the Satur
day Evening Post would assist us
very much in our literary work

BAD ROADS AND WASTE

On the average two days are said to be required to do the country haul ing in the average American state, where one would be sufficient if the roads were adequately improved and Kept in proper repair.
 If this economist be right, or half right. in his computation, here is an enormous tax levied on the American public by unthrift and negligence There is another taX-the abuse of farm machinery. It will never be known how many blows were left in the furrow when the tillage was fin ished last summer. but it is safe to say that the number is in the hun dreds of thousands that are now con- sumed by rust and rot. and their places, as a general proposition. will be supplied by new blows when an other crop season comes. Of other farm implements a like story can be told. In the timber regions number less axes and iron wedges are annu- ally sacrificed to the monster waste. Every year barnyard manure to the value of millions goes to waste, to the impoverishment of the soil and the re- duction of the yield.
 Waste costs the American people more than 1000 million dollars annu- ally.-Washington Post.

INSURANCE MEN
 TAKING NOTICE

Our last bulletin told how one of the policy holders of the Pruden- tial Insurance Company. living in De- troit, Mich, Mrs. D. R. Johnstone of l09 Jones street, was bedridden with Bright's disease. and death was ex- pected when she was put on Renal Compound. She made d fine recovery and saved the payment of a loss. This resulted in another policy holder of the Prudential Insurance Company. in the same city. who was nearly down and out with Bright's disease being put on the treatment. At last advices this case, too, was going right
 We now have letter from a Sac ramento man in which he says: T am in the life insurance business, and once in while the doctor has to pass up" a prospect. Since I know that your Compound is a won der, why can't I put these people on it and fit them for examination. will say thatI may present you with a bill for s6.OOO.OO for the praise I have given your Compound"
 He is not the first party who has seen this opportunity. One of the state officials of Nevada came to see IFS and outlined a proposition to es- tablish an insurance company ta il- sure the lives of people having Bright's disease and Diabetes. charg- ing double the ordinary rates and putting them on this treatment Numbers have been fitted for insur- ance. although some of them were actually in extremis For instance. in our pamphlet will be found the case of Mrs. R. Lester Bell. of iu- burn N. Y., who was in the Auburn Hospital and was expected to die during the week when put on Full tons Renal Compound. One year from that time she passed for life insur- ance.
 The case of Chas. F. Wacker. the Sixth street merchant of san Fran cisco. also comes to mind in this connection. He did not think he could live but few months. and was nearly down and out with Dia- betes when put on Fulton's DiaDstic Compound. He later passed for $5,- GOO life insurance.
 An interesting fact in Wacker's case was that bereavement set up nervous condition that caused the disease to reappear and he was very much discouraged due to the fear that he had not been cured. How ever he went on the Compound again and made the second recovery and now looks like an athlete. And this was all several years ago showing that the results are real.
 We are pleased to see the Insurance people sitting up and taking notice. The large insurance companies will ultimately realize that they can save hundreds of thousands of dollars by having their agents advise policy holders who have these diseases of the genuineness of this treatment Moreover. it is humane.
 For Bright's Disease. Fnlton's Renal Compound is the one used. For Dia- betes, Fulton's Diabetes Compound It can be had in your city at all druggists. Literature mailed free. Address John J. Fulton Co, PIP First St, San Francisco. Cal. We desire to hear from and advise every case not making the usual recovery.
