Goodbye Teachers.

All the local staff of teachers will be
leaving tomorrow or next day for their
homes to enjoy their vacations. The
good wishes of all our citizens will go
with them. Prof. Fitch expects to go
ON Sunday to Minneapolis, Miss Simp-
son, Sunday morning to Fairmont,
Mimi, Miss Lyon, Saturday, Hastings,
Mimi; MISS McGovern, Saturday, Ro-
chester, Mimi; Miss HIGHLAND, Grafton,
N. D.; Miss Nicolai, Sunday, Montivideo,
Mimi; Miss butcher, Saturday, Hotf-
man, MINI. All the above teachers are
re-engaged except Prof. Fitch, who goes
to Cass Lake, MINI. and Miss Highland
but that is only a story told by the
little birds and not a newspaper item.
Miss Highland has been connected
with our public schools for two years
and has given almost perfect satisfac-
ton, while socially she has been very
popular. Many friends will give her
good wishes and hope that at least in
the future that she will sometimes re-
new the peasant acqualnCalnceS mace
while here.
Prof. Fitch who has been with US for
three years has proven, not only popular
with his pupils but also in social circles
and his leaving is source of sincere re-
gret to the townspeople. Probably, we
have never had man in town who is SO
we'll informed generally, on almost every
conceivable subject as Prof. Fitch. He
speaks and writes several languages, he
has been considerable of traveller, has
large acquaintance in literature and
i art, while on the other hand when the
manual training was introduced in the
schools, he went into the workshops and
taught the boys how to use their tools
like trained mechanic, and he can tie
more kinds of knots in rope than this
writer who served seven years as a
sailor. We can recommend him to the
Cass Lake people, not only as q most ex.
cellent teacher but also as distinct ad.
dition to the social and literary circles
Of that city.

The ball team from this city took. !
run down 70 Drayton last Friday and
succeeded in winning = very interesting
game, to3 On account Of the heavy
rain which fell early In the morning, it
was difficult, to play any fast ball.
The Drayton boys started with rush
and pushed three runs over the pan in
the first inning, but timely hitting soon
overcame the lead and our boys forged
ahead.

our boys put up fine game at Drayton,
only two errors being made.
Jim Parker very clearly demonstrated
to us that he still knows the game, as
the score indicates, Jim manages the

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day.
Tuesday, Memorial Day, 1t rained
about all day. Not hard but "just as ca
sy." Of course this prevented most of
the outdoor program from being carried
out
However, after dinner, the veterans
headed by the band and escorted by the
boy scouts, school children and citizens,
marched to the Pembina bridge where
with brief explanation of the meaning
of the decoration of the waters" by the
commander, the floral gifts were cast in
to the current which will carry the per-
fume of the flowers as symbolical of the
fragrant memories of the sailor dead,
through the long journey northward un-
til it joins the waters that form the
greatest and most beautiful cemetery of
the world.
Then the procession passed to the de-
pot, where the veterans and small dele
cation of the school girls, were taken to
the cemetery by team, where all graves
of veterans and sons of veteans, about
fifteen in number, were duly decorated
with flowers and with the flags of the
country which they so greatly loved,
while gentle tears dropped over all from
the funeral skies above.
, In the evening the City Hall was we'll
filled to listen to the program which was
as follows:-
lnvocation........... Rev. Campbell.
"Glory Hallelujah" -. Choir.
Ritual, G. A. .Comrade Burdick
Star Spangled Banner" Mrs. Field
man.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Miss
Rhoda Harvey.
Song, ''Tent!ng tonight 80. Choir.
Grafton ........ Prof. E. T. Fitch
america
The music by the mixed voices of the
choir was greatly appreciated, while the
solo by Mrs. Feldman, like her many
kindly favors on similar local occasions,
was a distinct addition to the program.
Miss Harvey's rendition of the Gettys-
burg address showed study of that beau
tiful prose poem and was given with
Gear enunciation.
Prof. Fitch's Grafton was mostly a
brief epltome of the causes of the war
and very eloquent description of IT, 9
scenes incident to the leave-takinss
when the boys left home for the front.
His tribute to the memory of those who
died that the nation might live was
couched in words of beauty and appre-
citation. The speaker held the close at
tention of the whole audience including
the many little folks who were present
to the very end. We hear many favor.

RULER MAKES THE SEASONS
When Emperor of China Declares lt Is Summer People All Ooff White
 Clothing.

The emperor of China has some strange duties. One of these is the ordering of the seasons. It is summer in America when the sun warns the earth, and not until then. but in China. it is summer when the emperor tor. al the present time, the regent says it is summer As soon as the emperor declares that summer has come every body in China puts of winter clothing. and arrays himself in sumu CT garb. no matter what his feelings on the sub iect may be. All domestic arrange ments are made to suit the season. as proclaimed by the emperor. although they may not suit the individual at all.
 The nearest approach to the Chinese system of ordering the seasons is the practice observed in France in all pub lie buildings. There it is winter on and after October 1. Fires are then lighted in all government offices. and the employees exchange their white summer waistcoats for the thicker and darker ones of winter. At that date the public libraries are closed at four, and in the streets the sellers of toasted chestnuts make their appear ance. In official France it Is winter, no matter what the weather may say. and no matter what unofficial France may think

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC STATE

Arizona, after years of struggle, is al last a state with all the rights. privileges and responsibilities of state.
 It seemed at one time as if the hopes of the people of Arizona for statehood would meet disaster on the rock of the judiciary recall pro vision contained in it's constitution.
 Because of President Taft's veto otherwise of the statehood bill, con gress directed the territory to vote out the offending provision at the present election, which it has done.
 It is now a sovereign common wealth. and the curious thing about the entire controversy that waged around the recall provision is that he state since it has become such may call another election and vote the provision back again.
 It has always been considered thai Arizona would be a democratic state. and the results of the late election but confirm this belief. This was contrary, however, to the case of it's sister territory. New Mexico, which was thought to be republican, but went democratic at the election last November.
 Since the increase Of irrigation and the knowledge of how to farm dry lands. Arizona has been continually advancing in wealth and population In 1900 it's population was 122.93i, while in 1910 it's population was 2O4. 354, an increase of 66.2 per cent. Its area is 1f3 020 square miles. or nearly twice that of Georgia though it's population is thirteen times small CT.
 The new state starts out with many sges--among which are the experiences of the older states to draw from, in solving present problems and avoiding old evils. These advantages it las incorporated in an admirable manner in it's con stitution. May the new Arizona live up to it's high oppOrtunities.-Atlanta Georgian.
Bisbee daily review., 1911-12-28

such a eonoourse as the convention would draw. It will have something more than a thousand delegates, to say nothing of the other thousands of politicians, newspaper men and at eaches who will be in attendance. There is, We believe. no hall west of Denver that would accommodate a national convention. and then, the dispatch fails to state that 1t is pro posed by Phoenix to offer any finan. eial inducement to the national com mittee, notwithstanding the fact that conventions of late years have become matters of barter. Chicago only re- gently bought one for s1000OO.
 But in spite of all obstacles, VIC should be pleased to see Phoenix suc- eeed. lt nothing more comes of it. the advertising the capital and Ari zona will get will not be without value.

MARRIAGE AND THE DOCTORS

Every little while some well mean ing physician or sociologist proposes to improve the race by making mar riages possible only after 1t has been found by a commission of scientists that the prospective husband and wife are fit to marry and rear offspring DT. G. Frank Lydston, before the Chi cago Medical Society, has advocated a law to this end.
 Desirable as it Is to make human ity better in every way possible. not everything can be done by law. Much must be done through good sense and individual sense Of responsibility. Does science yet know enough how to regulate all marriages? Some ele- nentary legal restrictions no doubt are desirable, but that is as far as we can safely go now. In countries where marriage is made difficult immortality is common Education, doctors. is a better remedy than the most efficient Of commissions. Love is not a bad guide either

THE PHOENIX NATIONAL CONVENTION

4 dispatch sent out from Phoenix states that an effort is to be made to secure the democratic national con veution. At first this was received as joke. and no doubt most people win continue to so regard it, but 1t trans pires that National Committeeman Nicholson has already taken the mat ter up and has written to his col leagues on the committee asking for their aid on January 8, when the com mlttee meets, in securing a victory over Chicago. Cincinnati, St. Louis, Baltimore and few other upstart villages which are trying to deprive Phoenix O. this honor.
 We suppose a great many foolish objections to the location of the con- vention at Phoenix will be raised. Its distance from the center of pop ulation Nin De one of them. and never has a convention been held by either party very far from such a center. which is now somewhere in northern Indiana The democrats, on one ocea- sion, got as far west as Denver.
 It wiIl probably te urged that Phoe- nix would be unable Co take care of
