SCHOOL MA'AM
IS DESPERA7E

FARGO, Aug. County Superin-
tendent of Schools Riley is in receipt
of one Of the most unique reports
from one Of the county school teach
ers that has ever been received at the
superintendent office during all the
FEARS of it's existence.
Following the actual statistics Of
the report. concerning the total num-
Der of absences, per cent of atten-
dance and other details in connection
with the operation of the school, the
teacher who submitted this unique re-
port supplemented his or her remarks
with report in poetry, consisting of
four stanzas of four lines each.
Superintendent Riley stated that he
was not privileged to give the name
of the teacher. as he had been asked
to keep the matter from publication,
but that he felt it was so good, he
thought the public should have the
benefit of knowing the talent of the
teachers the county employs.
Following is the poetic report:

with dust
Yet still by the road it remains
The broken old stove is red with rust

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ia large
display of advertisements in the

trade various kinds of chemicals for
coloring and preserving beer were
produced by John r. Mauff of Chi

the barley growers of the northwest
also charged that letter head and ad-
vertisements of brewers themselves
contained illustrations of barley, malt
and hops when as matter of fact
their beers were made of corn, rye
and other substance. He said the
reason why barley was not used was
because other grain were cheaper and
that cheap BEERS had brought about
the disastrous cheap saloons"

A N. OAK, PIONEER,

Among the prominent Minoters in
the city today is Erick Ramstad, who
is one of the pioneers of western
North Dakota; Mr.. Ramstad came to
the state in territorial days, and when
very few cared to pin their faith to
the Mouse River valley, which was
then known as the land of eternal
sunshine and the "cow country" he
filed on a omestead, portion of
which is now the city of Minot. Mr..
Ramstad is one of the substantial
men of the state and has a number of
friends among the old timers at Bis
marck who are enjoying a visit with
him today.

And the stove was passing fair

Yet of trees the yard is bare.

say,
FOR twill make our taxes high,
And our teacher we must fifty pay.
And new books we must buy"
And We wonder as waiting the long

While the walls are crumbling away,
If they'll ever build a schoolhouse
new,
Or fthe old must stay.

LAW IS LINCOLN TRIBUTE.

At little tribute to the memory of
Lincoln lies behind the Lieb house
bill, passed by the senate the other
day, which prohibits killing squirrels
within the confines Of parks in the
state. The bill was drafted to apply
particularly to the Nancy Hanks
park in Lincoln City.
This beautiful little pleasure
ground is kept up within the con-
fines of Spencer county by the state
in memory Of the mother of the ma
TONS war president. 1t has been
stocked several times with squirrels
and an effort has been made to tame
the little animals. Farmer BOYS liv-
ing near the park of late have been
shooting the squirrels surreptitious-
ly and because the park is state prop
erty the Lieb bill was framed.-In-

One of the easy and inexpens-
i've ways to make town attractive
to one looking for a location, is to
make it a clean town. Not only Il
clean town morally, but a town
with clean streets, clean alleys,
and clean yards. A great deal
might be done here in Liberal to
make the town very attractive in
this respect. While the residence
properties are probably the best
in the West, there are a number
of alleys that need to be cleaned
up. Make it a point to see that
the alleys abuttlng your property
are clean and sanitary. The rub
Dish heap in your neighbours yard
may be the baeeding place for
flies that will carry typhoid fever
to you, your wife, or your child.
Therefore you are your brothers
keeper also and 1t is up to you to
see that he cleans up too, 1t
doesn't need a special day to clean
up your premises. Make every
day clean up day, if you can only
spend an hour a day and it will
help. 1t is almost criminal these
days to let a heap of rubbish lay
in your back yard or alley, for it
may cause an epidemic of typhoid,
with the direst of results. Be Il
good fellow and get busy and clean
up.

BACTERIA NOT ALL VICIOUS
Some Are indispensable to Life and
the sterllIzlng Of Food May Do
Much Harm.

We should not jump to the con-
clusion that the words bacteria"
and microbes" are synonymous
with disease and disaster. Although,
for instance, the word ''microbe" car
ries with it the idea Of something ex-
tremely undesirable, it is well known
that these microscopic organisms are
a necessary part of all natural pro-
cesses and that without them the
higher forms of life would be i'm
possible.
An interesting series Of e1peri-
ments bearing upon this point has
been conducted by a French scientist,
who has communicated the results
thereof to the Academy of Sciences
at Paris. Rabbits were employed
for the purposes of these expert
ments, in order to ascertain the
value of food that had been steri-
lized. The animals fed upon vege-
tables that had been freed from all
bacterial life by the most careful
treatment soon died from enteric af-
fections due to non-assimilation Of
their doctored food. But another
group of rabbits fed upon vegetables
that had been sterilized but after
ward purposely impregnated by
broth in which bacteria had been
artificially cultivated, not only lived,
but became fat under this treatment.
The inference is that there are GER
tain bacilli that are indispensable
to the digestive functions and that,
in sterilizing food we may be caus-
ing more mischief than if we left it
alone.

June Broke Record
Lawrence, Kansas, ,Iulya; 1911,

Lawrence, Kansas, July3; 1911.
Because of the rather large num-
Der of years covered by our obser-
vations it has become somewhat
unusual to find a record broken.
But June, 1911, was far enough
from the ordinary to break four.
1t had the highest mean tempera-
ture, the greatest number of days
in which the thermometer went to
80 degrees or higher, the lowest
relative humidity, and the heaviest
earthquake yet recorded here.
The mean temperature was 80;
the next was 70.14 in 1901. There
we're 10 hot days go or higher.
The previous record was 16 in 1901.
The relative humidity was "a 3,
the next lowest being 59.S in 1901.
From this it may be seen that
June, 1901, was very much like
that which is past.
The rainfall was markedly def.
cient, but in the years 1870, 1879,
1876, 1899 and 1901, it was small
er. In 1876 the precipitation was
only 1.2l inches.
