IMMENSE ARMY OF STUDENTS
About 100000 at Present in the Ed
ucationsl Institutions of the
United States.

If the entire school army of stu
dents in the United States be mus
tered as an educational display it
would represent probably $4,000. 900
persons, of whom about go per cent.
are white. The exact number. accord
ing to the twelfth census, on June /,
1900, was 1867, 147. Until the thir-
teenth census of the United States
Is issued, in 1910, there can be no
definite estimate of the increase in
numbers The twelfth census of the
United States apportions the national
school army as follows: Four million
two hundred and sixty FIVE thousand
three hundred and two persons from
five to nine years of age and 6.453, 80.
persons from ten to fourteen years
OF age. Other persons ranging
from fifteen to seventeen years of age,
constitute not quite 13 per cent of the
entire strength of the educational
forces, and those of eighteen and over
about five per cent of the whole num-
Der.
A significant fact was revealed in
the research which was made in esti-
mating the actual and the possible
strength of the school army of the
United States. that out of the entire
of children ranging between
five and nine years of age available
only half attended school; of those
from ten to fourteen years of age sub
stantially four-fifths and of those from
fifteen to seventeen little over two
hfths.

An epidemic never starts among the
well fed people, but among the slums.
Hartman would have given all Of
his railroads for health.
The Grand theatre was filled last
evening when DR.. III. w. Wiley, the
celebrated government chemist, and
pure food expert gave the last lecture
of the season of the free lecture
course. The talented speaker was in
troduced by Prof. M. Bait. who took
occasion to thank the people for their
generous support Of the lectures
throughout the winter and said that
the fifth course would begin next win
ter.
DIR. Wiley paid a nice tribute to
North Dakota and her grain products
and held the closest attention of his
audience for more than an hour. He
was witty at times and nailed COM
mon sense points throughout the
evening that brought out rounds OF
applause
He talked of the great agricultural
possibilities of the state and said that
he was astonished when he was told
that the average yield was only
thirteen bushels of wheat to the acre.
He said the soil was capable of
averaging twice that much and al
luded to the fact that the A. c. was
teaching how to get this yield. He
said he would rather have one acre
producing twenty-six bushels than two
acres producing thirteen each. He
made an earnest plea for the babies
and pure food, for the girls who work
in the stores, for the women who are
bread earners and for the boys and
girls who have to work before they
should, He spoke of the great pro-
gress OF the nation and asked what
was the use of all this progress If the
general health was not good. He talk
ed of the laws of the state as to pure
food and praised Professor Ladd, and
gave Senator McCumber much praise
for what he had done while in his
official capacity at Washington.
/ He said that the women should en-
joy the fruits of mans work. That
it was their right. He talked Of the
dope that was used for the babies
and said that it was filled with the
rankest kind of poison end he said
that North Dakota by reason Of her
| pure food laws was not cursed in this
respect as some other states were. He
talked of the open air life and said
that almost any kind Of disease
could be cured by the open air. 40.
He said that Japan was not a starv-
ed nation and he attributed the de-
feat of the Russians rather to the

sent their scientific men ahead of the
army to search igor water and pure
food, than to the bullets from the
Jap's guns. He said that few Japs
died from fever or gunshot wounds
because of the health rules that were
strictly enforced at all times. 1t was
one of the most interesting lectures
given in the course.
During his stay in the city Dr.
Wiley was a guest at the home of
Hon Charles F. Amidon. United
States district judge. After the meet
ing Marshal Shea. who was well ac-
quainted with the doctor, made a call
on him. s

SKELETON Is
FOUND AT VELVA

velva, N. D., March 21.-Drug-
gist G.. w. Mcknight, while blast
ing rock and excayating his. cellar
preparatory to erecting his com
modious residence on the corner Of
Welo and Willow streets ran across
a prehistoric skeleton dissimilar
to any yet known to naturalists. In
some respects 1t resembles that of
a human being, its lower extrem-
tiles are exactly similar, but the
upper varies in some very potent
particulars, as from the forehead
a prOtnberance extends out about
three inches. that indicates that
the animal had we'll defined horn.
The sternum in place of being di-
rectly in front is at least six inches
to one side Of the center part of
the body. however this might have
been a physical deformity. The
hands more nearly represent those
of polar bear than those Of a hui
man being, otherwise than as stat
ed it is a very striking resem-
blance to that of a human skeleton.
Doubtless its preservation was
due to being located in sort of a
stoned up cavity, for so pronounc-
ed was this, that around the thumb
of the left hand, or paw large
stone ring of a BLUSH tint was
found which perhaps is an inch and
half in diameter which goes to
show that it was an animal of
great muscular proportions. pro-
vided in life, it FIRMLY fitted that
portion of the hand
The skull appearances denote a
being that possessed at least ordin-
airy intelligence, however, the fore
head unusually receded. that to say
the least, indicated a lack i'm a de-
gree, Of bright intel gent mind.
In the immediate Vicinity of this
antiquarian relic, dwas found what
appears to be an inexhaustible
supply of petrified sea turtles rang
ing in sizes all the way from six
inches to three feet across the
back. 1t is now up to the men of
science TO fathom this mystery.
and tell us the ages, and causes
of this wonderful discovery. Let
the countless millions of years turn
back their onward roll, and exhibit
to us and explain what manner of
time of his llabitation of this silent
parsonage this is, the length of

Epiarams Of DR.. WlIsx,s Speech.


This state impresses me with its
magnitude and it's resources.
The death rate of North Dakota is
low compared with other states. 1
believe that the laws of country can
do much towards conserving health.
Every hour a child devOtes to manu-
al labor robs that child of its inheri-
lance. O..
Woman should perform the duties
the Almighty intended her to per-
form and should not be a wage earn
er.
/ believe in votes for women under
certain restrictions, for / am a MEM
Der Of the National Women's associa-
ton.
/ don't believe in driving the girls
into the factories and stores. They
should fit themselves to become wives
and mothers.
The best cough medicine in the
world is pure air and there is plenty
of it for everybody in the world.
/ don't believe in predigested food.
l can do my own digesting.
1t is said that $50 out of every 1000
babies die before they are five years
old This is caused by impure foods.
Pictures of fat babies using baby
foods shouldn't be sent out. Fat
babies often mean that the babies are
diseased.
The food of nation has much to
do with the health of a nation.
Conserve your coal if you want
to, but coal was meant to be burned.
Let the people who come after US,
5000 years look out for themselves.
If you keep your house at a tenn
perature never over 10 degrees you
will never have colds.
Colds do not come from cold wealth
er, but from warm weather and over
heated rooms.
The way to conserve the forests is
to use them and replant them.
The way TO conserve the soH Is to
use it and cultivate it,
1t is as bad to eat too much as
too little, but / would rather die a
glutton than starve to death.
We could do without a great many
painos if we had more stoves.
Teach your daughters to play on
the stove before she learns to play on
the piano. There is nothing mental in
the work of a good cook.
If all of the women were good cooks
there would be fewer divorce cases in
the courts.
I believe in cold storage for the pre-
servation of foods in a legimate way,
but not for the purpose of controlling
the prices.
l don't believe in the storage of
eggs and fish.
/ don't want my whisky one day
old and my fish four years old.
Anything that impairs the odor or
taste Of food fmpairs digestion.
I believe a man should eat more than
is necessary for him. A railroad en-
gineer would be a fool to start out
with just enough coel to last him his
trip.
Consume each year the product of
that year and trust in the Almighty
for the next year
It is only the impaired body in
which disease finds a resting place.

local union accepted as satisfactory. This
was submitted to the international presi-
dent who refused to allow the locals to
compromise whatever.
I'VE informed the union that a strike
would be fatal. When the men walked out

men today and will continue to do So"
At the factory of the N. ID. Harness Co.
Forty men walked out here, ten continuing
work. The latter, however, were not mem

American Federation of Labor and is ask
ing for an eight-hour day with no cut from

to 500 a week
The demands also include a 10 per cent.
increase for piece workers. When the
labor officials left Chicago they telegraphed
their various lieutenants throughout the
country that the strike order for March q
would have to be carried out, as all efforts
toward a peaceful settlement had proved
fruitless.
Affairs have been approaching a crisis
since the first notice. which the union serv-

GRONNA WAS VERY
MUCH On The FENCE

washington, March 21-Consider-
able adverse criticism has been ex-
cited here at the action of Representa-
tive Gronna on Saturday in openly vot-
ing for Speaker Cannon and changing
it moment later under the cover of
the confusion that followed the tabu-
lation of the vote.
When Mr.. Gronna refused to vote
with the democrats to GUST Speaker
Cannon he was roundly cheered by his
republican colleagues, but the applause
had hardly subsidized when he appeared
before the clerks desk and changed
his vote.
In changing his vote in the manner
described the Lakota man accomplish
ed two things. He is shown to have
voted both for and against the speaker.
Only careful perusal of the congress-
ional record, however, will reveal this
fact.
Senator La Toilette proved to be the
political mentor of Mr.. Gronna and it
was due to his suggestion that the
North Dakota man voted with the
democrats.

Great Fun at the Miniature Lake
Around Island Park.

Speaking of summer resorts. the stu
dents of Fargo college are enjoying the
time of their life. Owing to the rise of the
river they have cute little lake right
in front of the hill. Every afternoon one
may see them between classes, padding
about in canoes or on RATS. while oc-
casonally one sees gallant youth wading
about in the water, exciting the praise and
admiration of the feminine rooters on the
shore. But to cap the climax one young
lady, absent mindedly. dove off the raft
which she had been cruising ON. much to
her embarrassment and chargin, for she
reports the water not of the general tenn
perature for bathing purposes.
The citizens ON Eighth street discovered
that the fleet of youngsters Saturday after
noon had their sidewalks for battIeships,
and Immediately called the police. who de-
feated the fleet from the shore and effected
the surrender of the sidewalk captains.
1t has been falsely rumored that the
preachers We're organizing for rowing
crew, but this Is absured for the students
are so enraptured with the delights of bath
ing, that rowing holds out no temptation to
them.
