supt. Steen again impressed on
the erring the importance Of per-
feet attendance and recitations. The
average Of these grades is to be
used in the examinations and will
be kept on file at the superintend-
ent's office.
The first mention Of social was
made In chapel this morning. A.
committee will be named Monday to-
arrange for the event. i-.,
The reporter discussed the new
idea Of agriculture in the rural
schools with several farmers tnis
morning. They seem to be very
doubtful of the result. Most of
them seem to think the ordinary
teacher is not capable of handling
the subject. 1t seems to be up to-
the teachers as a body to carry this
study through successfully.

LAUDs VALLEY EXHIBIT
Diversification Lesson Of Red River
Display at Land Show, j. J.
Hill Says.

"Diversifcation is the object lesson
of the Red River Valley exhibit" said
James ]. Hill yesterday, as he stop
ped in front of the display of the pro-
ducts of that fertile section Of the
northwest at the land show. "The
Red River Valley is featuring corn in
it's exhibit together with it's small
grains and potatoes that bring the
highest prices of any in the United
States," he added.
'I have known the valley from it's
first settlement and still I am pleas
antly surprised at the showing. What's
the future Of the valley? 1t will be
great, something marv elous, you
can't make it too strong to suit me. I"
Many have been the discussions
concerning the products shown in the
Red River Valley booth. Business
men and others who thought they
knew the immediate northwest have
found that the valley has jumped to
the front. as is demonstrated by the
showing of corn, potatoes, onions and
|other root crops, together with ap-

FARMERS RUSH WHEAT TO MAR
KET.
Five Cents Above Market Price
Brings the Grain to Warren.

In order to stimulate trade and do
the farmers a good turn, the business
men of Warren arranged with the
Spaulding Elevator Co., to pay five
cents above market price on grain
marketed here this week. This Of
fer has caused big rush of wheat to
the Warren market, reminding one OF
the time when this city was the
greatest primary wheat market in
the state. Loads of wheat have been
strung in line all the way from the
elevator to down town awaiting their
turn to unload. Over one hundred
loads a day, or about 5000 bushels,
have been received daily, and today
promises to eclipse that record The
prices paid have heen as follows:
wheat SO cents; barley 80 cents: fax
S = 80 sselbssae44 ee::ssss.zss These prices
are paid in cash and not in orders on
the Warren stores, as some conlpeti-
tors have circulated around among
the farmers. c. t. Spaulding, presi-
dent of the elevator company, has
been at the Office himself, with his
sleeves rolled I'D, putting in a slrenu-
Gus time paying the farmers for their
grain.

The Christmas spirit OF "Peace on

While this season means so much

two classes of people who, by reason
of their employment, view the ap-

ings from the various authorities of
the dangers of fire in connection
with the decorations eog2ered nee

are still careless. At this time the

urgently requests the people of this

know a few years ago, l did not have
the courage to make an exhibit at the
state fair, but when l saw the grain
exhibits there, l made up my mind
that I had as good or better at home
Il brought a small sample back with
NE and compared it with what had
at home and that was what gave me
the courage to make an exhibit at the
National Corn Show in Omaha in
1908, although the sample that sent
that year was not fitted as it should
have been. It was not graded as we'll
as now grade my seed grain. Yet
took third prize in competition with
the world. And the farmers in the
vicinity of Warren took more prizes
on small grains and grass seed than
any place on this little globe of ours

hard job to do. The teacher canno
do it alone; the school board and the
parents should all help, it can be done
and has been done Some of tn.
young boys in our school commenced
chewing snuff, and it made them 81
dizzy that they could not wall
straight. I wrote personal letters tt
each parent calling their attention t,
the chapter in the state law supple
ment, forbidding the use of tobacc
in any school or university in tn
state. I also wrote the young ma:
that was furnishing the tobacco TO
the boys. l told him that would lie
it go this time but for him not to d
it again, and he knew that 1 mean
what said. 1t can be stopped if yo
go about it right.
