answer came last week from the

brief but understandable: The

Announcement has been made of a
new course which is proposed for next
year. This is a winter course, five
months in length, beginning Nov. lst
and closing April LIST. The subjects
to be offered are these: Review Gram
mar, Review Arithmetic, Agriculture,
Botany, Bookkeeping, Physical Geo.
graphy, Manual Training, Domestic
Science, and possibly N Or two
other commercial subjects. Not all
these subjects will be taught but class
es will be formed in those subjects for
which there is the greatest demand.
For the most part, this work will have
to be done by the regular teaching
force but, as the present plans are,
our regular. course of study will not
be effected to any great extent. The
need of such . cours is very pro-
nounced in our district inasmuch as
many of our pupils do not enter until
November because of work at home
and some have to leave in the spring.
There are doubtless many who could
take such q course to advantage. 1t
has been planned tosmeet the needs OF
the girls as we'll as the boys. By
electing some other work which might
be arranged, pupils can prepare for
examinations for second grade Teach
or Certificates. We are conducting
classes in all but two subjects for the
first grade certificate at present. All
who are interested in such a course
should confer with the superintendent.

Attends State Meeting.

Commissioner Gray attended the
fourth. annual meeting of the. County
Board Association of North Dakota
held at Minot Feb. 18th, 18th and 10th.
He reports a good representation
from all over the state. The work of
the committees on various questions
yer approved. as read, except on the
question of Taxation which was taken
up and discussed by sections and
those found good approved, while
other sections were, changed before
adoption. The question box al an
interesting feature and gave .oppor-
tunity for much discussion of county
affairs. The Convention voted to hold
its next meeting at Fargo in 1912.

1t is our opinion Jacob wept be-
cause he hadn't kissed Rachel before,
and regretted the time he had lost.

Jacob had much to cry about anyway.

The New IN. at, the Pure
Seed Laboratory,

The work of analysing and testing
seeds 1T the pure seed laboratory ,ha,
been found SO useful by the formers
and seed men that the demands on the
laboratory for termination tests and
purity tests and information. with, re.
gard to varieties of seeds have been
so great that it has been difficult for
the seed commissioners to- keep up, with
the regular correspondence in this
line. In order to facilitate the work,
and insure more thorough inspec.
ton of the seeds, as. sold on the mar
ket, it has been found necessary to
procure another seed analyst. ]. R.
Campbell, of Ames, Iowa, is the. new
man. He is q. graduate of the Agri-
cultural College of Iowa; has done q
large amount of postgraduate work
in seed investigation and was for two
years assistant seed analyst and seed
inspector with the seed commissioner
of Iowa.
Any person who has fax. seed for
sale either in North Dakota or else
where in the Northwest can have sam
pies examined at the laboratory free
Of charge if he will state where he
procured them and what quantity he
has for sale. If the seed is found to
be of high quality the owners name
is listed. A list is made out each
week and this list is sent to all persons
who are interested in buying good
flax seed. This allows farmers or
seedsmen who have fax seed for sale
to learn exactly what percentage OF
the seed will make strong growths,
and concerning the presence or alb
sence of the destructive diseases OF
fax.

PlTIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
an infamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
Oaby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot He could not have stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
The disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
,ame alarmed and decided to try CUT.
eura Soap and Ointment.
Not until | commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him. and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured | don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
sdies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until | would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec.
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal.
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free
on application to "Cuticura," Dept

Small REPUBLICS,

Klein-Alp is a diminutive republic
tucked away between Switzerland and
France Only in summer is the re-
public Inhabited and then by miners
and cowgirls There is one hotel,
closed during the winter. Another lit
tie republic is in Tyrol. between Aus
tria and Italy. and in long gone years
was under the jurisdiction OF first a
king and then an emperor. But in the
adjustment of frontier lines the state
Of Val di Ventino was in some way
overlooked. and it promptly organized
itself into a Lililputian republic It
has now about 1000 inhabitants, liv-
ing in six villages Neither Val di
Ventino or Klein-Alp have any taxes
There are no officials or compulsory
military service The only industry
of Val di Ventino. aside from the
farming of small fields. is charcoal
burning
