STRONG APPEAL FOR
THE RURAL SCHOOLS
More Money and Longer
Terms the Urgent Need
HOW CAN 1T BE DONE?


Since going into office he has care
fully studied every phase OF the sub
ject and sees the weak points and
places; his desire is to build up the
rural schools, to aid them in bene-
fitting themselves. Since the voting
out OF the dispensary, some Of the
schools have not been doing what
they should to supplement- the loss
entalled thereby. The following
from Mr.. Pitts is very clear presen.
tation OF TIE situation and an earnest
plea for these schools:
Just at this time there is a great
deal being said about schools and
teachers. The schools in the coun-
try are closing. The work OF the
present teacher is being discussed
The employment Of a teacher for next
year is now in order. Some Of our
trustees have already employed and
contracted with their teachers for
next year All this is we'll. There
is no subject more worthy Of our
thoughtful consideration. The flu
ture OF our boys and girls as well as
that OF our country, depend largely
upon the amount OF thought, energy
and means We put into our schools
In most of the districts we have
good school rooms, patent desks,
maps globes etc. In most cases
we have good teachers. What, then
is the greatest need of our schools?

To Correspondents.

Correspondents to the Graphic
will confer great favor on the
publisher of this paper if they
will make special effort to get
their communications in early in
the week. To insure publication
they should reach this Office by
Monday and not later than Tues

respondence one of the principle
features of the paper and are anx-
ious that they are kept up to date
and aiways give them preference
over other matter but it takes
time to get them into type and
when they arrive late it some
times makes it impossible to get
them in the current issue.

Mrs, Knauf Laid to Rest.

jamestown, N. D., Sept. 3-The
mortal remains of Mrs. Luella
Knauf, wife of John Knauf, we're
laid in their last resting place to-
day. A short funeral service,
preceding that in the Presbyterian
church, was held at the house, at
which Rev. Simon and Rev. PHIL
ips offciated.
A profusion of flowers most ele-
CANT and beautiful tributes were
sent as testimony of the sympathy
felt by wide circle of friends.
The services in the church were
attended by an audience that
taxed the capacity of the building,
many being obliged to stand in
the open door and vestibule. Ap-
propriate music by the choir was
rendered, while words of consola-
tion, and touching eulogies of the
departed, were uttered by the
ministers, Rev. Simon and Rev.
Phillips. The burial was at
Highland Home, where other
members of the family are at rest.

MINNEAPOLIS
PRIEST FOR n. D.
MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL Has HUlCH
As TO WHO WILL SUCCEED TIE
LATE BISHOP STANLEY.

According to the Minneapolis
Journal two Minneapolis priests
are in line for bishopics, one of
them the vacancy created by the
death of Bishop Stanley.
Rev. James O'Reilly, pastor of
the church of St. Anthony of Pa
due, according to rumor in church
circles, stands an excellent chance.
of succeeding the late Bishop Cot
ter of Winona. It is said that the
bad health of Father Max Wurst,
of Wabasha, also considered in
connection with this vacancy, pre-
cludes the possibility of his ap-
pointment. Rev. j. F. Dolphin,
of St. Stephens church, is being
suggested as a probable successor
to the late Bishop Stanley of Far

Sold His Paper

Lewis N. Barton, publisher of
the Sidney, (Mont.) Herald, was
in the city Tuesday shaking hands
with his numerous friends. Mr..
Barton informs the Graphic that
he has just disposed of the Herald
to Col. Ketchem of Crawford,
Kan. who will in the future
guide the destinies of that paper.
The Colonel is veteran newspa-
ner man whose ability has made
him a leading factor, not only in
Kansas, but in the development OF
the entire southwest, and without
doubt, will be successful in his
new field of endeavor. Mr.. Bar
ton. who has given the people OF
Sidney a 6rstclass paper, has at
present no plans for the immedi-
ate future, but wherever he casts
his lot has a host of friends both
here and in Sidney who will wish
him we'll.

Grand Forks, Sept. 3-City At
torney Edwin A. Palmer of Will
|liston is in Grand Forks today for
the purpose of looking up the
city's method of keeping books,
the purpose being to get pointers
on good things that might be
worked out in the keeping of the
Williston city records, which have
for some time been in rather bad
shape.
The move for a better system
of keeping the city records in
Williston was given sudden
start some time ago when it was
discovered that City Auditor w.
T. Poe, now in the state peniten-
tiary, had juggled the city's ac-
counts to such an extent that he

Bismarck, N. d., Sept. 6.-Re-
port has reached Bismarck that
Williams county has about decid-
ed to have q voice in arranging
matters when the next republican
state ticket 10 selected. Active
republicans at Williston are said
to be anxious in selecting the re-
publican candidate for governor
in the next campaign and have
picked Hon. George w. Wilson
as the man of their choice. Mr..
Wilson is one of the pioneers of
the northwestern part of the state
and is now register of the U. S.
landofice. He has taken q prom
inent part in the development of
that section of the state and has
always been a faithful republican
worker. So long has he been in
the service for his particular part
of the state that his friends feel
that it was time he was honored
with a prominent political posi-
ton, and when the campaign
opens no doubt republicans of
Williams county will be found sim
cere in their endeavor to have his
name placed on the ticket as the
republican choice for governor.

WILL run MILLIONS OF BUSHELS IN
EXCESS OF The NORMAL

The wheat crop of the North
west for 1909 is not bumper
CROP" said James J. Hill recently
in St. Paul. 1T may ron fifty
million bushels in excess of the
normal yield in past years, but
will hardly come up to some pre-
dictions.
THE effect of the general pub
licity given to the bic yield will
be that many farmers will sell
everything early to get the pres
ent market and forestall a drop
and then will have to buy It back
again at higher prices for seed and
for feeding purposes.

BLAlSDELL HAS

OBJECTS TO BALLlNCER'S RULING IN
THE MATTER OF THE

Bismarck, N. D. Sept. 3.-Sec-
retary of State Blaisdell has ad-
dressed q letter, at Washington,
D. c., protesting against the rul-
ing Of the department that nota-
ries public who have filed commits
sion after July l, will not be quail
flied to administer oaths to appli-
cants for registration for the land
drawing in connection with the
opening of the Cheyenne and
Sanding Rock reservations. Blsis-
dell takes the stand that the rul-
ing is q gross and unwarranted
encroachment on the state of
North Dakota, which is alone sole
judge of the good faith and quail
fcations and powers of its nota-
ries."
Secretary Blaisdell continues
From a purely legal point of
view alone, I think there is not a
question but that our state is the
sole Judge of the requirements of
the notaries.
In closing he says: II further
submit that change in the said
regulations to remove such dis
elimination would be only just,
not only as a recognition that the
state of North Dakota has not yet
ceased to have constitutional
rights, but in justice to the nota-
ries public who have been duly
commissioned by the governor of
the state since July I, 1902

PRISONERS ARE
!, TAKEN TO FARGO
0CER WEBB AND WIFE ARE REMOVED
BY A FEDERAL 0FFlCER--.W0LA-
TED U. s. LAWS.

Ocer Webb and wife of Willis
ton who were convicted in this
city some eighteen months ago of
the charge of selling intoxicating
liquors without q government IL
cense and who were sent to Ward
county jail for safe keeping, were
turned over to a deputy United
States marshal last Friday morn
ing and were taken to Fargo
where they will await trial before
the federal court in the Cass coun-
ty Jail.
The couple had been engaged in
the blind pig business for some
time before their arrest. Shortly
before they were taken into custo-
dy it was ascertained that they
were operating without a govern
ment license and the government
will prosecute on these grounds.
During the long time that they
have been in the Ward county
jail they have occasioned no trou-
ble to the sheriff's officers and
when they appear for trial an ef-
fort will be made to have their
sentences reduced as much as pos
sible on account of having been
confined for the past year and a
half there.

Take Care of Horses Feet.-"No
foot no horse" is an old saying and
one that should appeal to every man
who owns a horse. I'm addition TO
having good feet, the teeth of the
horse when he begins to grow old
should have attention in order that the
feed may be properly masticated.
When the teeth become rough and un-
even and the horse cannot grind up
BIS feed he becomes a hard keeper
ard often the owner does not know
the cause of the trouble. When buy
ing a horse always see to it that the
feet and teeth are in good condition.
Horses must live under artificial con-
ditions. Much is demanded Of the
horse without corresponding amount
Of care and attention. Hard roads
necessitate frequent shoeing and from
overwork and carelessness many ami
mals contract ring bones, side bsnes,
lameness and cracks in the wall of the
hoof or contracted heels. Much of the
shoeing done is not necessary. I'm
less a horse is to be worked over
paving, on race tracks Jr In stony
country, he will do well without shoes
if his feet are not weak or defec dive
