Our Public School,

That our Public School has
outgrown the capacity of its
present quarters is self-evident.
We have four grades seated in
two rooms, taught by two teach
ers each having something like
seventy pupils. The School
Board. in response to a petition,
has ordered an election to be
held in the courthouse Friday,
March 4th, to determine wheth-
er or not the school district shall
float bonds to build and equip an
addition and improve the pres
ent building.
The public schools are the
the hope of our country" the
foundation upon which all our
high educational institutions
stand. Nine tenths of the boys
and girls of our land complete
their education in the public
school. The best is none too
good for them. We need more
room and better equipment.
We need it now and to this end
it will not only be necessary to
build modern addition, but al
so to modernize the present
building by putting in steam
heat, new DlackboardS, modern
shades. color the walls, Danish
the common drinking cup, put
in sanitary fountains, sanitary
closets. adorn the grounds
with cement walks, etc. Do this
and we will not only perfect
working efficiency, but we will

J. T. Service for Sheriff.

Mr.. Service came to Randall
county over twenty years ago
when this county was cOnsid-
cred wild and very woody, and
Canyon was an infant. Being a
contractor and builder, he, nat
urally, saw the transition of
Canyon from a village to a city,
and during his residence here
he has studied the wants of the
people in his line, and as reports
have it he has constructed more
cottages and residences in Can
yon than any other.
Mr.. Service requests the
News to announce that he is a
candidate for the Office of Sher-
iff of Randall county, subject to
the action of the Democratic
primaries.

supply of houses to rent. These
in some instances must be large
and comfortable, to be rented at
such rate as to enable a board
ing house keeper to give fair
price and live.
We have a great undertaking e
nobly begun, but the problems
are not all solved yet, and tie
boarding house problem is the
largest one now before us. 1t
must be solved in order to make
our school a big success in point
of attendance from the first day.

JUDGE ]. C. HUNT
Would Make Fine Representative at Austin
is an Ex-Kentuckian.

Canyon City, where the West
Texas Normal School is located,
claims as its citizen Judge J. c..
Hunt, one of the best lawyers in
the Panhandle. Judge Hunt
was formerly county Judge of
Lamar county, Texas where he
enjoyed the reputation of being
one of the best in the state. He
came to Canyon City four years
ago and has been actively en-
gagged in the practice of the law
since. He was candidate for
the legislature two years ago
against Mr.. Bowman, announc-
ing for that office under the i'm
preston that Mr.. Bowman was
not going to ask for second
term, bnt Mr.. Bowman subse-
quently announced his candi-
dacy, and was elected. Judge
Hunt made no campaign
and only made two speeches in
the campaign. He is now in the
race to succeed Mr. Bowman,
who is not going to offer for the
place, and asks the voters of the
district to fully investigate his
qualification and standing as a
citizen. He is a life long demo
crat and is big enough, broad
enough and aggressive enough
to make the Tooth Representa-
tive District as good member
as Texas will have in the next
House. He is Kentuckian,
was born in Marshall county of
that state, where he was edu-
Gated in literature and principal
ly in the law, having for his law
preceptors two of the most en-
inent lawyers in all Kentucky.
He is in middle life, ripe with
experience, information and for
bearance.
He SAYS that there is nothing
too good for the Panhandle and
Plains people and if he is cleo
ted he is going to fight a de-
termined battle for our share of
the good things that the state is
dealing out bi-ennially and
wherever there is anything com
ing in the way of schools, eXper
iment stations, eleemosynary
institutions and courts, that we
must have them. He is strong
for a court of Civil Appeals in
the Panhandle and Plains coun
try, and taking into considera-
ton his wide acquaintance
throughout the state, he can do
about as much as the next one
in procuring these for our peo-
pie. Amarillo Daily News.

THE BUILDING.

Work has begun on the Nor
NAL School building. 1t will be
imposing in appearance, beauti-
full, commodious, convenient and
thoroughly modern in every par
ticular. The heating, lighting

and will contain thirty-six rooms
exclusive of auditorium, gym
nasium and natatorium. 1t will
contain chemical, physical and
agricultural laboratories equipp-
ed with every thing necessary

books % by SO feet and on each
side of this will be rooms; one

the question of plenty of board

the coroner's inquest held over the
remains of Anton L. Midtbo at Tagus
has withheld its verdict pending an
analysis of the stomach OF the dead
man which will be made at the state
university at Grand Forks.
While all the circumstances connect
ed with the death of Midtbo indicate
suicide the analysis of the stomach has
been decided upon as the only way of
arriving at a correct conclusion and
the coroner has authorized it,
DR.. Russer OF Berthold, conducted
an autopsy over the body of Midtbo
yesterday which included an examina-
ton of the heart, brain and stomach.
The latter organ was removed, brought
to this city last night and will be
sent to Grand Forks today.
The testimony at the inquest before
Messrs. Mock, Duncan and jacobson
showed that Midtbo had been intoxi-
Gated Sunday and Monday of this
week. Tuesday he was sober, but
complained of rot feeling we'll and
his son noticed him handling a bottle
OF medicine known as Worlds Lini-
ment, patent medicine used by vet
ernarians in the treatment of horses.
This medicine contains alcohol and
chloroform. About o'clock he began
to be taken with commissions and these
were repeated at intervals until his

ERDER MURDER
CASE TO The JURY

st. Louis, Mo-, June 3.-Judge Grimm
began his charge TO the jury when
Hourt convened today in the case of
Mrs. Dora E. Doxey. charged with the
murder of William J. Erder. 1t is ex-
pected the jury will retire late this
afternoon.
In instructing the jury that it must
either find Mrs. Doxey guilty of first
degree murder and sentence her to life
imprisonment or death. or must liber-
ate her, Judge Grimm eliminated from
its consideration the testimony about
cacodylate of coda arsenic compound
charged in two counts of the indict-
ment with having been used to ac-
complish death.
AS TO the use of morphine, Judge
Grimm instructed the jury that If it
or any other intoxicating drug or IL
quor were found to have been taken
deliberately by the defendant, then it
should not be considered as palliating
or extenuating any wrongful act while
under it's influence.

"the world is looking on while we
farmers plod along in our unorganized,
unsystematic, half -hearted way and the
world believes that were our people
broader and better trained we could
produce much better yields than we
do; and we are forced to admit" he
added, that the world is right.
Whether our activity be religious,

tinued, I'VE are on 15-bushel basis
with 25-bushel opportunity. The
blood of our people, the hereditary po-
tencies of our wheats and the produc-
tive potentially of our soil and cli-
mate warrant rapid increase of wheat

OF other farm products in proportion;
and even more rapid should be the
growth of intelligence, home living and
social advancement generally"
The cure for these larger troubles
in agricultural life is in the school sys-
tenn, according to Mr.. Hays He pro-
ceeded to describe in detail the system
which, in his opinion, would bring
order out of the present chaos in the
organization of country life He de-
clared that, except in isolated cases
where the broader method was not
practicable, the old-fashioned one
room school house should give way to
the consolidated school, The latter
would provide accommodations for stu
dents within the surrounding five or
six square miles. 1t would contain
three or four rooms for an elementary
school. one for the high school classes,
and large room for laboratory and
practice work and for vocational stud

The typical consolidated rural
school," continued Mr.. Hays, will have
a ten acre school farm. In this north
west country half of the farm will be
developed for combined campus and
homestead. In timber belt on part of
the farm experiments will be conducted
with forest trees in plot mixtures,
which help to solve the tree problem

PROPITIOUS MOISTURE
Beneficial Rains Descended Over
Moorhead and Clay County Sew
eral Hours This Morning.

Farmers in Moorhead this morning
were expressing particular joyous
ness over the gentle showers which
began to fall about sunrise and con-
tinued until nearly noon. They say it
will be of great benefit to backward
pastures. Crops generally were not
suffering for precipitation and the
lang and cool spring, but for weeks
concern has been felt for the hay crop
and the most favorable weather is
needed to stimulate the growth of
grasses. Alfred Olson of Kragnes said
1t was raining there nicely when he
left and he said he hoped it would
be the means of helping out the grass
as up to date it was very scarce and
he for one was wondering where farm
ers would be at for the coming fall
and winter. Hope now was that the
cool weather would cease and be fol-
lowed by moderate warm and sunny
weather SO the t'~~othy and clover
would get good start.
