ID WHIP OR
 NO! ID WHIP Corporal Punishment Pug zling Question Among
 School Officials

Atlanta, october 3O.-(Special)-To whip or not to whip. That is the question now puzzling school officialdom of Atlanta?
 The first point in the battle has been scored by those who believe that the time has not yet come when the schools can in safety dispense with the switch. Ihls party claims that 1t is perfectly willing to do away with the rod but that dlscl- plne must be maintained, and that at present only fear of punishment can keep the children in subjection and secure the best results.
 Unfortunately for them, however, Tn their efforts to retain the birch and to show that the school board has absolute power over the children, they have lh Il way aroused the members of council to action Now, the man who introduced the ordinance in council asking the abolition of whipping in the schools, declares that he intends to push his fight and Will Win whether the school board likes it or not.
 The matter was brought Up this week at the meeting of the school board. determined effort was made % delay con sideration, but finally it was decided pest to let it come to a vote. Then some VIII at unexpected thing happened, when the board of women visitors reported that 1t was better for the switch to be kept in the schools than to be put out of the way
 This was the opening wedge, and It was seen apparent that there was small chance for it's abolition at present. All exE ressed their hope that eventually there would be no necessity for the rod. but all were united in the position that at pres ent there was no acceptable substitute.

Y. M. C. A. ANNIVERSARY.

The meeting held at the Y. NJ. c. A,
yesterday afternoon in celebration of
the silver anniversary of the associa-
ton in Fargo was of special interest.
"Reminiscences sbounded and some of
the early day struggles of the organi-
cation were related.
From the modest beginning in SO TO
the present association and its mag
nificent building was a long and siren
uous period. Many of those who were
present when the association had its
birth in Fargo were among the partic-
ipants in yesterdays proceedings.
Incidental to the celebration of the
important anniversary, fitting remarks
were made concerning the late Mrs.
S. G. Roberts at whose home the mi
tial organization meeting was held.

NORTH DAKOTA CONDITIONS.

1t is generally very inadvisable to
write anything about the arrival of
spring. In most cases it produces a
storm and--if any special spring-lIke
stuff is perpetrated-a regular biz
yard frequently follows.
The weather of the past two weeks
has caused the farmers to think a
great deal about agricultural work.
The snow disappeared quickly, but not
with such a rush but that the greater
part Of the moisture went into the
ground instead of running away.
The large amount Of summer fallow-
ing done last year with the favorable
conditions for fall blowing has result
ed In the soil being better prepared
than in ordinary years. These favor
able conditionS-coupled with the fur
thsr fact that the frost went deeply
into the ground and stored away
great deal Of moisture-has tendency
to make the farmers rather optimistic.
II is unusual for dry years to fol-
low each other, The grain growers
confidently anticipate a SUFFICIENT sup
ply Of moisture this season, and are
preparing to seed and harvest their
crops under conditions that are more
than ordinarily encouraging.
The partial failure Of the wheat crop
last ysar-with the agitation over Ca
madam reciprocity-is expected to have
a tendency to decrease the wheat acre
age in the eastern counties, although
the states total acreage will undoubt-
eddy be larger because of the newer
lands being opened up in the western
counties.
The deficiency in wheat acreage in
the western part Of the state will be
made up largely in the increased corn
acreage. The crop is annually becom-
ing more popular and the corn contests
iBaugurated by the First National bank
of Fargo, and through the cooperation
OF other banks in the state, have given
a big stimulus to corn raising
The farmers will soon be tickling the
soil--and the outlook is full Of prom
Use.

HOW TO Determine
VALUE OF SOIL
NATURAL VEGETATION AS AN IN
DICTATOR OF THE CAPABILITIES
OF LAND FOR CROP PRODUCE
TON IN THE GREAT PLAINS
AREA.

Extensive tracts of land, including
thousands of acres that are doubtless
capable of producing crops, remain UNI
occupied in the United States, especial
ly west of the ninety eighth meridian.
In places where no attempt at TILL
age has been made the would-be set
tier or investor is often at a loss to
know whether the land in view is
adapted to particular crop or even
whether 1t has any agricultural value,
In such places the character of the
natural vegetation is usually studied
as an index of it's crop producing pos
sibilities, but mistakes are often made
in using this indicator without suf-
ficient consideration.
AS the result of Investigations car
ried on during the past three years
in the great plains area, the u. s.
department of agriculture has issued a
bulletin (B. P. l. 20D, containing de-
Examinations OF the correlations be-
tween different types of vegetation and
the physical characteristics and crop
possibilities of the land occupied by
each type. The chief object of the
bulletin is to show how the errors
resulting from hasty and inconsiderate
conclusions may be avoided, and how
new lands may be classified with rea-
sonable accuracy on the basis of lat
ural vegetation. The publication is not
report of a land survey, but rather
a discussion of methods which can be
utilized to advantage in making such q
survey.
The work has brought out clearly
that the general conditions, whether
favorable or unfavorable to crop pro-
duction. are indicated by the native
plant cover.

pect cure you must therefore tone
up and strengthen those organs and
restore them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order

From the mythical times of the
stone age man has ruled over women
mostly by might and not by superior

Accordingly he has always formulated

how woman should comport herself.
This is all the more interesting con-

woman at most-and how Indifferent

Woman-with her usual fortitude.

Bank Wants Name CHANGED.

Bismarck, D., March 13.-The
Office of the secretary. of state has re-
ceived an application from the State
Bank of Stanley to have the name of
the bank changed to The State Bank
Of Elgin. Elgin is one Of the new
towns on the Bismarck Mott extension
of the Northern Pacific, and was at
first known as Stanley, but the post
office and railroad station has been
changed and the officers of the bank
set forth that as reason for desiring
a change in the name Of the bank.
There will be no other change in the
business of the bank, the same officers
