EXAMINERS Held
FIRST MEETING
SUPERINTENDENT HOOVER BACK
FEoM A TRIP TO, BISMARCK
WHERE HE ATTENDED ORGAN
IzATIoN MEETING OF NEW
STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS.

Supt. w. e. Hoover of the Fargo
public schools has just returned from
Bismarck where he attended the first
meeting of the state board of exam
iners. This is new educational or
ganization for North Dakota and it
was held at the Office of Supt. of Pub
lie Instruction e. j. Taylor.
State Superintendent Taylor origin
ated the plan of taking over all the
teachers examinations in the state and
placing them in the hands of this
board. Heretofore the state superin-
tendent managed these examinations
but it was thought much wiser plan
to place the work in the hands of a
competent board.
All the business transacted at this
first session of the board was largely
temporary preparation for more
meetings to follow soon. The
board is composed Of five of the most
representative educators in the state
and it is thought In this way that
examinations can be prepared In a
much more satisfactory manner than
when one man had full charge.
All teachers examinations given
A@SA nave DCC1 at LAC
state superintendent Office and sent
to the various counties where the ex-
aminations we're held under the di-
rection of the county superintendent.
This plan will still hold good under the
new system, the county superintend-
ents conducting the examinations, but
the new board will supervise the cor
rection of the papers instead of it all
being done by the state superintendent
Of public instruction. The board will
also prepare the questions and. will
hold regular meetings at Bismarck for
the purpose of improving the system
of examinations and discussing state
educational matters.
The next meeting OF the board will
be held about Aug. / at which time
more definite steps will be taken to
assume full control Of teachers exc
aminations. The members of the state
board Of examiners are: State Supt.
e. j. Taylor of Bismarck, secretary
ex-officio; Prof. Joseph Kennedy of the
state university, president; Supt. w.
e. Hoover of Fargo, vice president; r.
s. Black of the Wahpeton Science
school. p. s. Burg OF Dickinson.

SAYS CAMERON
Stole TROUSERS
MAX A. 5oRoWsKY SAYS JOHN
CAMERON STOLE TROUSERS
AND UNION SUIT FROM HIS
PLAcE-cAMERoN DENIES THE
FACT MOST EMPHATIcALLY.

MAX A. Borowsky, q keep Of a small
store, restaurant ana lodging house on
lower Front street, appeared at the
ponce court this morning and wanted
TO secure some clothing from John
Cameron, whom the officers had ar
rested for intoxication. Borowsky de-
clared that Cameron had stolen pair
OF trousers and a union suit from his
place yesterday.
cameron was brought into the police
station from the cell and emphatically
denied having ever stolen anything
from Borowsky.
You stole those trousers, and you
know you did" said Borowsky. "Me
wife, she seen you steal them and so
did them two fellows. The one with
the glasses saw you steal them and I
can prove it by him, If you hadn't send
him over to Moorhead and told him to
stay there"
Il never stole nothing from nobody"
answered Cameron. II have lived
around here for twenty years, and
have never been arrested before. You
know 1 never stole your trousers and
union suit If you can prove it why
NSAA SOh 81 oAlCdu anu 10 1t never
stole anything from you and have al
ways paid you for my room and
board. I'd give you your trousers if I
had them, but / don't know anything
about them-as it is you owe me S."
You never had SIS in your life, and
you do not know what so much money
looks like" said Borowsky.
Borowsky did not care so much
about the trousers, he said, except
the fact that it spoiled an entire suit
of clothes. He was most emphatic In
his allegations. and Cameron was
equally sure that he was not guilty of
stealing anything.
The keeper Of the lodging house said
he would swear out a warrant for the
arrest Of Cameron on the charge of
Fellows were of fine physique and
taken before the court where he
pleaded guilty to the charge of being

HARM FROM The
SOIL DRYING OUT
PROF. w. c. PALMER, PUBLICITY
MAN OF THE A. c. GIVES MORE
VALUABLE INFORMATION RE-
cARDINc THE PRESERVATION
or MOISTURE IN THE SOIL.

The more nearly constant the moist
ure content of soil can be kept the
more available plant food 1t will have
says W. c. Palmer of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college.
The moisture is all the time exert
ing solvent action, bringing plant
food into a form that the plant can
use. It, however, does something else
fully as important and that is to make
1t possible for germs to live. These
germs work on the insoluble plant
food and make it available The inn
portance OF this work is usually UNI
derestimated. When the soil becomes
dry the solvent action of the water
ceases and the germs become inactive;
many OF them die. Thus the two
principal agencies that make plant food
available are cut off at once. The
effect that drying has on bacteria is
well illustrated In drying fruit or hay
to make 1t keep. The killing of the
germs is a good deal like allowing the
live stock to die from thirst or hum
GER It will take some time to restock
the germs to increase so as to do the
work needed to produce a big crop. A
big crop can not be produced without
them.
How TO Remedy.
The greatest damage Is usually done
after harvest. The soil is compact,
the crop is removed and the rain scant
The land should be disced as soon as
cut, In fact follow the binder with
the disc, which loosens the surface soil
and kills weeds that take large
amounts of moisture. This will save
a good deal Of moisture.
Organic matter is also necessary for
the germs to do well. 1t furnishes
them food and enables the soil to hold
more moisture
Deep blowing lie one of the most ef-
fective ways of keeping good moist
ure content In the soil. 1t also gives
the germs more space to work in as
they live principally in the soil turned
with the pillow.
Germs and Livestock.
The germs are sort of livestock
and the more livestock kept on farm
the more germs there will be in the
soil due to rotating crops and applying
manure.
Don't neglect the soil germs even If
they are small There are so many of
them, and they are working for you
just as much as your horse or your
COW.
