THE SCHOOL BELL.

The call of the school bell is heard
in the land, and a host of sunbrown-
ed young folks are digging away at
their books again.
How we wish that the young peo-
pie could get the idea that oppor-
tunities are before them that soon
will pass forever. The young peo-
pie hear their elders debating edu-
cational theories, criticising fads and
new ideas, and get the impression
that schools are not so much good.
But in spite of all foolish expert
menting, the schools of today offer
a far better opportunity than their
fathers ever got, and the boy or
girl that does not get what he can
out of them is furnishing himself
terribly.
In twenty years many a boy will
be working along on scanty day
wages, because he fooled away his
school hours and failed to get into
habits of patient industry and in
vestigation. Many woman in twen-
ty years will be called an ignoram-
us because she failed to store her
mind with the common facts of life,
but preferred to make up faces at
the other girls and tip winks at the
boys. Think it over. young folks!

AT THE NORTH POLE.

The North pole is an expensive
luxury, the South pole also. There
is apparently no human need of
having them discovered" but the
fever of human ambition to compass
the whole earth is such that no one
with sporting blood can help feeling
sympathy with this adventurous
quest. Once they are discovered"
let us hope that people will be con-
tent and not incur the tremendous
expense of risks of expeditions hav-
ing little value other than the desire
to satisfy mans longing to possess
the earth.
We assume that they have real
ly found the pole. To attempt the
most collossol hoax of history would
so expose a man to disgrace that
no one in his senses could fake the
story. much less one of DR.. Cooks
or Peary's good standing.
What a cross-examination the sci
entists will subject them to when
they get back. What Harry Thaw had
to stand from Jerome will be little
compared with the course of
sprouts the geographers will give
them.

ENDORSEMENTS OF RENAUD.
What the Musical Critics Think OF
Great Pianist Coming Here
September Goth.

ION Monday evening, June 11th.
Emiliano Renaud made his New York
debut (Schumann Concerto in A
Minor, with the Kaltenborn Orches-
tra) The artist made a decided i'm
preston, as his playing proved an
unlocked for surprise. Without any
anvance flourish of trumpets the
young man came to New York, and
even before he seated himself at
the piano his modest and refined ap-
pearance won for him hundreds of
admirers. When he did play, Mr.
Renaud revealed q touch at once
lovely and strong. He is poetic
and sympathetic player, with tech
mic ample for the compositions he
gave. Mr.. Renaud also played a
composition by himself, Valse Ca
price, and this delighted the audi
ence, and earned for the pianist sew
eral recalls. Musical Courier.
One of the features of the even

with orchestral accompaniment. He
showed that he was thorough mas

wonderful execution, and the sweet

the instrument to give expression to

that he had seen nothing of the ex-
pedition of Commander Peary."
Speaking to the Associated Press,
Cook said he left at the north pole
the American flag and a box con-
tanning documents, including
brief account of his trip and certain
observations and data to bear out
his claim. Captain Larsen of the
Hans Egede said he had examined
Cooks records and he believed them
to be perfectly correct. In the
course of an interview with the AS
sociated Press on board the Hans
Egede, Cook declared with great en-
phasis:
Il have been to the north pole
and l have brought back the most
exact observations, absolutely prov
ing my statement. l have kept a
diary throughout my entire expe-
dition, in which l have recorded the
most minute details.
1t was not my intention at the
start to proceed to the pole; / was
merely on an arctic excursion. But
as l found conditions favorable L
continued on my way to the pole. L
discovered two hitherto unknown is
lands.
We missed the depots which pre-
viously had been established but we
came accidentally upon one of Mel
ville's depots, where we found pro-
visions and instruments in an ex-
cellent state of preservation. Owing
to the smallness of my expedition
our requirements were not large.
For the same reason we were able
to proceed quickly. On some days we
covered as high as twelve miles,
which is extraordinary speed.
AS l approached the pole the Es-'
kimos with me were utterly scared
at meteorological conditions.
On the return trip our provisions
became utterly exhausted. No ami
NAL life was visible, and three days
we had nothing to eat. Then in a.
crevice of the ice We caught sight
of several walruses. / had only
few cartridges left. l crept along
the ice on my stomach. approaching
the animals slowly so as not to
scare them. l expended all the car
tridges and as a result secured two
walruses. Our lives were saved.
We then broke up our only sledge
and made bows and arrows of the
wood, as do the Eskimos, and we
secured game with these arms.
Again near Cape York, We were
virtually on the point of starvation
when we found young seal sleeping
on the ice. At the cape itself We
found traces of musk oxen, which
We tracked and killed.
From Upernavik to Egedesminde
I sailed on the same ship that car
ried the MacClintock and Franklin
relief expeditions.
Peary Also Finds Pole.
Dispatches in yesterdays daily
papers also announce that messages
have been received from Commander
Robert z. Peary. who claims to have
discovered the North Pole April s.
1909, but found no trace of DR..
Cook
Peary, with his ship Roosevelt, and
a large crew we'll equipped for such
an expedition, started on July 8,
1908. Experts concede that both
have probably won the coveted hon
or and both have planted the Stars
and Stripes at the northernmost
point of the earth.
Dispatches are expected from
Peary today, describing his expedi-
tion in detail.

HUNTING SEASON Is ON.
All Must Have Licenses for the Fish
and Game Laws Are Strict and
Must be Obeyed to the
Letter.

Only rev days since and the nim-
rods OF Iowa took down their trusty
firearms, donned their hunting
| togs and with their licenses safely
in their pockets, whistled for their
dogs and departed in search of prai-
rie chicken. pinnated grouse, wild
duck, goose brandt. rail. plover,
sand piper, marsh or beach bird and
squirrels or any part or portion of
the constituents of that list. For
on September 1 the season on the
above birds and beasts opened and
hunters are anticipating the delights
of the months to follow. Hunters
license are in great demand in the
office of the county auditor.
Hunting has an entirely different
aspect in Iowa this year. The laws
which are the work of all conserva-
tive lovers of the sport, passed dur
ing the last general assembly, are
effective for the first time. Hunt
ing is no longer matter of conven-
ience and lawlessness. 1t has be-
come thing for serious considera-
tion and SO strenuous have become
the laws that there is nothing left
to do but to study them and live up
to them, to the improvement of the
sport.
AS everyone interested in hunting,
as we'll as many who have no in
terest in the sport. knows, it will
be necessary to first secure a hun
ters' license before going to the
country with the hopes of bagging
game. Only owners of land, their
children and tenants. when owning
and hunting on their own land, are
exempt from this formality.
Application is made to the county
auditor who for the stipulated fee
of one dollar to residents of the
state and ten dollars to non-resi-
dents. gives the license, printed on
prepared linen and containing full
description of the licensee.
The license must always be in the
possession of the licensee when he
is hunting and is subject to the ex-
animation of anyone who questions
his right to hunt. A license from
any auditor authorizes the licensee
to hunt anywhere in the state, but
he may not hunt upon any cultivat-
ed or enclosed lands without the
permission of the owner or tenant
or upon any public highway. The
license of those who hunt on private
premises without the owners or
tenants permission or upon any pub
lie highway may be revoked upon
complaint to the county auditor.
To residents of the state, the license
fee is 81, but to non-residents it is
$1,000 and no matter to whom or
when issued it expires on the first
day of July following it's date.
Non-residents may take out of
the state not to exceed 25 game
birds or animals provided they are
so carried as to be readily inspected
and provided further that the IL
censee has his license with him.
Possession of a gun in the fields or
forests or upon the waters or ice OF
the state, coupled with failure to
display hunting license when re-
quested to do so, is, except in the
cases of owners or tenant above re-
ferred to, is prima facie evidence of
violation of the fish and game laws
of the state.
