Gross Country Air Racing,

Present indications are that the large
cash prizes offered by New York, Chi
cago and st. Louis newspapers to
winners of aeroplane races between
Chicago and New York and St. Louis
and New York. or in the opposite di.
rection if the air currents are more ia.
vorable. will be pulled off" within a
few weeks. Most of the noted avia.
tors have entered formally for one
race or the other. Both Americans and
Europeans are included among the am.
bilious and daring men who hope tc
make both reputation and money by
winning n of the cross country races.
There can be no doubt that. once the
races start. the events will attract
worldwide interest and will run the
thermometer OF enthusiasm up to the
boiling point.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that no
serious accidents will mar these con-
tests among the air men. Already the
death l"'i of aviation is lamentably
large. The aeroplane. while it has &C.
compiisilpd wonders in the past year
or so. remains a dangerous toy. The
slightest negligence or indiscretion
upon the part Of an aviator may be
fatal to him. Even the most careful
and the most skillful fiers are subject
to accidents which none of them can
foreSee. Much has been done. but
much more must be done. before aero
planning can become measurably safe.
1t may be that somebody will make
the trips between the cities indicated.
But eve though all the entries sue
coed in finishing the air voyage with
out meeting their own finish it will
be quite awhile yet before the over
head route between the Atlantic coas
and the middle west will put on regu.
lar passenger a%eroplanes. The world
can afford to wait some years longer,
however, since it has waited so many
centuries, for a heavier than air ma.
chine that will fly.

[''t SI24 School !1e!!
o''' w. NOTES

The chief subject of interest for the
first few days of school was hat of
choosing new subjects. Each of the
classes is starting IN with a renewed
interest and a liking for their studies.
This is a spirit which we hope will pre-
vail throughout the school year.
In spite of the fact that the principal
of our high school, Mr.. Tucker, was a
week late in arriving we were all kept
very busy getting started IN our new
studies.
With "American Literature" "Manual
Training" and autobiography" added to
our high school, course the outlook for
the year is a bright one.
The enrolment for the beginning of
our term is a large one when compared
with that of last year and any of those
in the past 1t is made up as follows:
Freshmen IA; Sophomore 10; Juniors TO-;
and Seniors 3; making a total of all in
the high school of 46. 1t is expected
that there will be quite an increase as
the term advances. At the present time
the Sophomores are the busiest young
people in the school-and there's a
reason for this.
The enrolment through the grades is
in all 283, distributed through the
different grades in the order given be-
low: First grade So; second grade 49,;
third grade 48; fourth grade 81; fifth
grade "a; sixth grade 81; seventh grade
80; eighth grade SO.
1t is to be noted that the ten minute
to one o'clock bell has been discontinued
and that the first bell after the noon
recess rings at one o'clock.
A beginners class in the primary room
it is stated will be organized after
Christmas. at which time all of the
children who are at that time over six
years of age may be entered for school.

most satisfactory condition to the
management of the banks and
to the people of Langdon as we'll.
The three statements reflect the
solid financial condition of the commu-

not in sight around here this fall. The

HERALD DECLARES FOR BURKE

Under the caption, "The North Dakota
G%overnorship," the Grand Forks Herald,
the leading republican daily paper in
the state ome out squarely for John
Burke, democrat, for governor. The
editorial follows:
In the contest which is now going on
for the position of governor of North
Dakota, The Herald believes, and it
wishes to place that belief squarely be-
fore its readers, that the interests of the
state will best be served by the r%e-elec-
ton of Governor Burke. John Burke
was elected governor of North Dakota
four years ago for two reasons. A re-
publican convention had chosen to defy
what was known to be the wish of the
party at large. That was one reason.
The other was that the democratic party
had nominated for the Office of COVER
nor a man who was we'll known, and who
was believed to be honest, able and mind
full of the public interest. Two years
ago Burke was renomlnated, and the
republican nomination went to @. A.
johnson, the present republican nomi-
nee The campaign was an active and
animated one, but so we'll has the COVER
10 performed the duties of his office
that even in the stress of the campaign
those who opposed him could not point
to a single act of his on any important
subject which had not been in keeping
with the interests of the state. Again be
was elected, and this year, at the urgent
solicitation of men of both parties who
honor him, respect him and have conf
dence in him, he has consented again to
be a candidate.
Governor Burke stands before the
people of the state with a record of
nearly four years good work IN the Office
ex-governor. He has made mistakes, and
we that no candidate will be so
foolish as to 60 before the people with
the claim that he will make none. But
whatever mistakes Burke has made are
so few and SO small in comparison with
the good works that he has performed
that they become insignificant.
A few days ago the state was visited
by Theodore Roosevelt, and his visit
aroused tremendous enthusiasm, for he
speaks a language that the people under
stand, and he advocates a policy which
the PLAIN man can see is for his benefit.
1t happens that Roosevelt is known as a
republican and Burke as a democrat.
But IN the field wherein his influence as
governor lies the state has no heartier
supporter of the Roosevelt policies"
than Governor Burke. He has given the
state the best enforcement of law that it
has ever had, and he believes in and
practices Justice, and equality and the
square deal. There is no good reason
why any man who voted for burke four
years ago, or two years ago, should fail
to give him hearty support now.

covered with hallstones to the depth of
five inches and having the appearance
of being covered with snow. The re-
