NORTH X STAR
COLLEGE.

On October the first North Star
College began it's second school year.
A good number of students enrolled
the last day of September; so that on
the opening day, work was assigned
in all departments. Everything has
progressed most satisfactorily; and
the enrolment has increased; so that
We have more than three times as
many students as at this time last
year.
Our Music department is the strong
est so far as numbers is concerned
Next comes the Business department.
with the Domestic Economy a close
third. The Academic, the Prepara-
tory, and the Shorthand and Type
writing departments are also we'll re-.
presented; but we should like to see
many more in them.
With the addition of whole new
building, we have splendid accom-
modations for a large number of stu
dents. All Of our departments are
most splendidly located. The offices
in the Business department are as
fine as the best cabinet maker can
build. They have been specially
made for our quarters.
All our class rooms are large and
light, well ventilated, and steam heat
cd. The finishing is all of hardwood,
thus making it easy to keep the
rooms clean and free from dust. Our
Library has already upwards of 500
books; there are in the Reading
room several hundred books and
Government reports, several sets of
cyclopedias dictionaries, and a large
lummber of newspapers and maya
zines.
Last spring it was decided that a
department in Domestic Economy
should be added to North Star College.
We have tried to make it known as
widely as possible, but we have here
tofore hesitated about advertising it
very much: or promising too much
before we knew definitely what we
could offer. We have promised to
give instruction in Sewing, and as
soon as possible add Cooking. We
have now the pleasure to announce,
however. that Cooking was added at
the very beginning of the term. We
have been most fortunate in securing
as teacher for our Domestic EconO-
my department Miss Inga Peterson,
a graduate from the Agriculture and
Domestic Science departments at the
State University. 1t is thru her as.
sistance and with her good advice
that we are able thus to offer and al
ready are giving measurably COM
pletes course at this early date. -
AS we have said before, the work
in the Domestic Economy department
has aroused great deal of interest.
Many should come to take advantage
of the opportunities offered. The
classes both in Sewing and Cooking
are making good progress; but it
can not be expected that anyone
should be able to complete a course
in a few weeks. If that could be
done, then why do we not have more
experts; or perhaps it would be better
to say, why don't we have more good
cooks and seamstresses. It is be-
cause everything worth while, every
thing more than the ordinary, re-
quires a good measure of persever-
ance, of ambition and determination,
and perhaps also foresight. This can
he applied everywhere. 1t is equally
true in any line of work. =

and there will be a look of prosperity
and progress about the home, that is
entirely lacking in all too many
places. The yard will be ornamented
with flowers, bushes, and trees; the
garden will be large and we'll kept;
and the orchard will have variety of
fruit bearing bushes and trees. The
farm will be we'll cultivated; the ma
chinery all under cover; roads in
good condition; and the people will
stay at home, taking care of them

for others, than for his own family;
or who would without any complain,
work hard just to oblige a neighbor.
He would both forget and neglect his
own work.

Test is Successful.

Five miles of dirt road south of
St. Paul, known as the 'sDodd road. ;,
is being maintained by the state high
way commission as an experimental
road to show what can be done bv
proper care at little expense.
The work is done by one man, most
~ with rake, shovel and wheelbar-
row. He puts in all his time on the
road, keeping ruts filed and watching
for proper drainage. After rains q
road planer is run over the entire
stretch.
The expense has been about Sc a
month mile, and while the road has
heavy traffic, it has been in fine con-
dition all summer. 1t has been main
tanned for three months, and the ex-
pertinent is to be continued with three
miles added to the five already pa
trolled. It is hoped that the object
lesson will be followed by many other
road districts.

A Trip to south Dakota

!. 3. L. Mathis and Jas. Kenely re-
turned on Friday from an automobile
trip to Redfeld, S. D. They were
gone ten days and stopped off at
several towns. Mr.. Mathis says that
William Arnett, formerly of Prince
ton, who is now located on a 32O-acre
farm near Red6eld, is doing we'll. He
is raising wheat and corn. Large
areas are now planted to corn in
South Dakota and good crops of the
cereal are obtained. The farmers as
a rule have substantial dwelling
houses and capacious barns, but the
water is abomlnable-strong charg-
ed with alkali. Mr.. Mathis declares
he would have willingly given a dol
lar for a glass of water such as he
gets at home. The roads we're all in
splendid condition-as smooth as a
die and hard.

New Business Enterprise at Foreston.

New Business ENTERPRISE at Foreston.
Foreston is to have large mercan-
tile establishment in the near future.
Mr.. George 81. Deans is clearing the
lot close to the railroad track on the
north side of the main street of the
village preparatory to the erection of
a two-story brick building 9Ox125 feet.
It is expected that, with stock of
general merchandise equal to that
carried by any firm or corporation in
the county, the new mercantile COM
pany can build up good trade at
Foreston. Certainly there is a
splendid farming country naturally
tributary to Foreston, and there is
no reason why that village should not
become an important trade center for
the farmers.

This gives total of 4l2 in the two

the opening day.
Princeton's public schools are
among the best in the northwest, and
this is due largely to the board of
education, which takes especial inter-
est and pride in keeping these institu-
tions in the front rank. The superin-
tendent and teachers are selected with
great care and the board believes
that the force now employed is a
particularly efficient one. Superinten-
dent Marshall has been tried and
found highly capable, as have several

DECIDES AGAINST I It
Storage Battery Proposition, Left to
President w. ii. Terrell to De-
eide, is Turned Down.
Amount of Patronage Will Determine
Whether Village Scales be Per-
manently Maintained.

On Thursday evening, September 2,
the village council held it's regular
monthly meeting with all members
present except President Terrell. In
consequence of Mr.. Ferrell's absence
the matter of purchasing storage
battery for the village was not acted
upon.
The council decided unanimously to
grade the road running from the F. c..
Cater place to the first road crossing
west OF there, providing that parties
living along such road will agree to
keep it properly strawed for a
period of one year.
N. M. Nelson, of the firm of Peter
son & Nelson, asked permission of
the council to erect shed with tar
felt roofing on the north side of the
frame building on lot l, block 3,
Eastern avenue, for the purpose OF
storing farm machinery. Permission
was granted.
A number of bills was audited and
the body adjourned until Monday
evening, September s.
At the adjourned meeting on Mon
day the proposition to purchase a
storage battery was fully discussed
such battery to cost 5000. A motion
to purchase was made and the vote
was 2 to 2. President Terrell did not
cast his vote and asked to be granted
until the following day to decide, as
he wished to look further into the
matter and to consult Superintendent
Dow. This was agreed to.
It was voted to appoint Councilman
Whitney supervisor of the electric
light plant, with power to hire or dis.
charge employees. 9"
President Terrell on Tuesday de.
cided the storage battery question by
announcing that he was not in favor
of the purchase. He had gone into
the matter thoroughly with Superin.
tendent Dow and believed that the
best interests ofsthe village would not
be conserved were he to assent to the
installment of battery as proposed.
October was set as the day for
opening up the village scales, and if
more liberal patronage is not &C
corded than that of last season they
will be closed down permanently.
