MANY BOYS ARE COMING.
Over Thirty Have Been Signed For
Camp Which Will Be Pitched
At Fair Grounds.

Alumni of the University of Min
nesota with the assistance of friends
who have attended other colleges
| are planning to have a baseball game
here next Thursday afternoon with
nine from the University Glee club.
The Glee club is coming to Bemidji
on Thursday to give concert in the
evening as one of the alterations
of University week.
Hal Huffman has taken up the task
of organizing a team and the boys
will start practice tomorrow so that
they will not be too soft when they
meet the undergraduates. Monte
Brown, one time star pitcher at the
University, is expected to hold down
the pitchers box. Huffman believes
he has other available material in
Homer Baer, E. H. Denu, Ralph Ly-
can, DR.. Sanborn, Graham Torrance
and some Of the High school boys.
The University boys cannot play pro-
fessionals so that none of the city
team players can be used.
Reports from the southeastern part
of the state show that the University
lecturers are meeting with better sue
cess there than in the southwestern
part of the state. Many of the peo-
pie of Bemidji have the idea that the
week is being used merely to peddle
an assortment of ideas on public
health, farming methods, art, litera-
ture, etc. AS matter of fact, the
idea is not primarily to furnish in
formation It is:
To emphasize the fact that town
and country are one community.
To stimulate all the interests and
activities of the communities where
such a "week" is held.
To promote a better understanding
between the body of citizens and the
men and women Who are trying to
serve them.
To leave in each community in
fuences that will have progressive
and permanent effects.
The plan is much more compre-
hensive than the mere peddling of
information. And elsewhere, it is
accomplishing it's purpose. z...s

intend to come in for the Boys Camp:

Chicago, June A.. Colonel Roose-
welt won his first substantial victory
Thursday afternoon before the Re-
publican national committee, when
he was credited with eight delegates
from Missouri, four at large and four
from the districts in dispute. BY a
compromise reached between the fac
lions President Taft was given six
and Roosevelt four CT the contested
delegates from the First, Third, Fifth,
Seventh and Fourteenth districts.
Roosevelt won the delegates from the
First and Fifth districts and Mr.. Taft
was given the rest.
The decision on the delegates at
large was unanimous in favor of the
colonel, and later unanimous approx
al was given the compromise ar
rangement as to the districts. This
result put heart into the Roosevelt
camp and the remaining contests will
be conducted with at least some hope
of a departure from the monotonous
decision in favor of the president.
Mr.. Taft was given the delegates
from six contested Mississippi dis
tricts at the morning session.

And where are you going, my pretty maid?''

Darnng cooking washing the dishes:
Practlcing music or sweeping the house,
Preparing Yourself for helpful spouse?'
And she looked me all over with humorous twinkle?
And Beg pardon, but Rip Van Wrinkle?
You must have been having twenty years snooze
To hold such provincial, puritanica views
For modern maids not secretly itchin'
To serve lifes sentence in anyone's Kitchen
Besides recent inventions have 1ghtened the load
That the old thorney way now's primrosy road.
Do you think I'd wash dishes? Why, haven't you
That these now cleaned with patent machine?
And to the sweeping am more than surprised,
For brooms have been banished We're vaccuumized.
And darning the stocking Say, you way behind,
For nothing but the hole proof kind.
And the practice of music is in the discard
For tread it out with our feet by the yard.
So you see my dear sir your decidedly siow
And off she high-heeled to the vaudeville show.

of the the 80 classes. The asses
sor, not the owner, is required to
determine and fix the true value
of all items of property in such
classes. ;" Even if the owner
should enter the value and verify
the list the assessor is not required
to accept it but must put his own
estimate of value on the property.
IF the owner refuse to list. the
assessor shall list the property ac-
cording to his best information. If
he suspect that the owner is not
disclosing all his property he may
put him on oath and examine him
relative to it. If the person refuse
to be sworn the assessor enters that
fact on his book. The law au-
thorizes the assessor to enter any
dwelling, building or structure
when necessary to the proper per-
Torrance of his duties and view
the same and the property therein.
Under the money and credits"
act of 1911 the assessor shall re-
quire the person making the list to
verify it with his oath. He shall
receive the lift, except as to valua
ton, as true unless when requested
the person listing shall refuse to
answer on oath all reasonable
questions as to the nature and
amount of his money and credits.
The assessor is forbidden to dis
close, under a penalty of a fine of
not less than 500 nor more than
$500, the contents of any list of
money and credits. If any person
fail to make and give him the re-
quired list the assessor may estimate
the amount and value and add so
per cent as penalty. He is to
enter the money and credits items
either in separate book or in a
supplement to the assessment book.
Ten days before the fourth Mon
day in June the assessor shall post
notices of the meeting of the board
of review. BY the the first Monday
in July he must total the columns
of entries in his book of the several
classes of property and make from
the totals tabular statement of
their aggregate. To his assessment
book he appends his affidavit and
delivers the same together with the
listing sheets to the county auditor
who gives to him a certificate that
the assessment conforms to the
law, if such be the fact. Without
such certificate the assessor cannot
get his pay.

New Rules

c. G. Schulz, state superintend-
ent of schools. has announced the
new rules of the high school board
relating to high and graded schools.
BEGINNING with next school year
the minimum salary in any position
below the high school is to be $45,
an advance of S.. The board also
has fixed a rule which requires that
all first grade teachers must be
graduates of state normal schools.
This, however, does not become
effective until the opening of the
school year 1915. With regard to
the qualifications of teachers,
Minnesota takes a more advanced
stand than any other Western
state. Fully rs per cent of the
grade teachers in the state are
normal school graduates.
The board has also fixed regula-
ions relating to industrial teachers
in the schools receiving special
state aid of 81, 500 or 81 900. The
teacher of agriculture must be
graduated from an agricultural
college and the instructors in
manual training and home econom-
les must have had at least one
years special training in either of
those lines of work. After the
present year, the teacher of agri-
culture cannot combine his work
with that of manual training

A FayOrite Dead
Tn the sudden death of A Morton

In the sudden death of A Norton
Miller Jr. in Duluth last week,
Northern Minnesota, and this
county in particular, loses rare
friend.
He was one of the best known
and most popular young men of
this part of the state, having resid-
ed in Duluth since infancy and
being frequent visitor on the
ranges, where he had many friends
Mr.. Miller spent Thursday in Vir-
ginia, inspecting some of his min
ing properties, returning to Du-
luth Friday morning. He had
suffered with severe cold for
some time and called a physician
Friday, though not considering
his condition bad. At $3.50 p. m.
his condition became serious and
several physicians were summon
ed, but he rapidly grew worse,
death coming to him at II
o'clock after only a few hours
illness.
He will truly be missed.

FOURTH ARTICLE
Assessment of Real and
Personal Property by
The Assessor

What the keel of ship is to the
superstructure, the assessor is to
the entire system of taxing real
and personal property. The
humblest official in the system, he
is -he most powerful in producing
its results. A detailed statement
of what the law requires this Of
fcial to do is essential to an under
standing of the system.
Assessors in towns and villages.
except where charters provide
otherwise, are elected in the odd
numbered years, and are entitled
to So day for each day of actual
service, though at any town meet
ing and before officers are elected,
the pay may be increased one-half.
Before entering upon their duties
the assessors are required to file
with the county auditor an oath of
Office and a bond in the sum of
$500 conditioned upon' the
deligent, faithful and impartial"
performance of their duties.
On the last Thursday in April
the assessors in each county meet
with their county auditor to receive
the assessment books and listing
blanks, and confer with the
auditor relative to the performance
of their duties" On May they
begin their work which must be
completed by the fourth Monday
of June: This gives them this year
a days, Sundays and holidays ex-
cepted, in which to make the
assessment.
Real estate is assessed every even
numbered year, and personal pro-
perty every year, both being as
sessed and valued as of May l.. In
assessing land the law requires the
assessor when practicable, to
actually view each tract and lot,
and to value the land and structures
separ ately.
Preparatory to assessing personal
property the assessors make list
of the names of all persons in their
districts liable to assessment. The
assessor is required to call upon
each of them at his residence or
office, present him with blank for
listing his property and require
him to enter upon it the quantity
of property owned by him in any

Scholastic seven weeks instead of
twelve, A plan is under con-
sideration to lengthen the elemen-
tary course in the normal schools
six or possibly twelve weeks, so as
to bring it closer up to the standard
now required for completion of an
advanced course, which covers two
years of training beyond graduation
from a state high school.
