COME ONE OF THE FIVE AGRI.
CULTURE HIGH SCHOOLS
IN STATE.

Supt. Y. G. Barnell OF the local
high school is putting forth his best
efforts to have the school enrolled as
one of the five agricultural high
schools in the state. This would be
great advantage and it is hoped that
when the North DAKOTA High School
Board meets in Bismarck in March
that the application of the school will
be accepted. .l.a.s5
The statute outlines number of
requirements before schools are quail.
fed to make application for the off.

propropreation of 100000 annually
At least 1000 square feet of floor space
in the high school building must be
dedicated to agricultural work, an in.
structor drawing salary of not less
than $1,000 per year must be engaged
I addition to this tract of land OF
not less than 10 acres must be provid

Supt. Barnelr states that he has been
practically ASSURED 20 acre tract
which will come in the nature of q
donation. With the help of the Com:

NORTH DAKOTA AGAIN
NATIONAL BISCUIT co. RETURNS
TO STATE ONCE MoRE-vlc.
TORY FOR LADD e

After an absence from the state of
about six, years the National Biscuit
Co; has decided to- again. return to
North Dakota says Prof: e. F. Ladd
in his latest bulletin. 1T was some six
years ago that, in opposition to the net
weight laws Of this state the National
Biscuit Co. declined to continue to do
business in North Dakota, preferring
to withdraw from the state rather
than give the actual weight. :.
1T has always been a source of re.
greet that the company should have
taken such action upon what is pc
lieved to have been bad advice; ad-
vice which perhaps came from infiu.
sent1a1 sources; it is, affirmed even
backed by the support of United States
senators that the. net weight law Of
North Dakota would be overthrown or
at least, through political alliances or
pressure, the law could not be enforc.
ed. Such advice was bad IL it was
given. It probably mislead and de.
.cefyed the officials who, had they
known the real; facts, would have act.
ed differently in connaction with com.
pliance with the requirements Of the
state law. f ~, -5;tst: y: .z. y, &.
However, the National Biscuit Co.
having decided to .re-enter North Da
kota, have complied with everyssre
anire1nent Of the state law In form al
labelling and have even gone farther
IN that they. have stated the number
Of crackers in each container as well
as the net weight. Take for example
water thin biscuits, 10 cents per pack
age, labeled as Contents average Al
biscuits, TX ounces, National Biscuit
CO., New York 4: a}s .. =.5
Thus there is shown not only ths
name Of the product but the average
number of biscuits, the average ne
weight of the same for each container
the name and address of the manufac
turer. as we'll as the price thereof
This is a long step forward in ths
matter OF labelling and will do mucl
to bring about reforms which are ue
sired I'm the labelling of other classes
| of food products" :.s, #

Large Number OF Settlers Will be
Given Small Portion off Johnston
5 81 Farm Near M arion.

The great Johnston farm near
Marion that has been the pride Of
North Dakota for a long time is to
be divided into a large number of
smaller farms in accordance with "a
plan devised by a. d. S. Johnston,
president Of the st. Paul concern that
owns the mammoth farm. Mr. Johns
ton says he will give the small farm
outright to the settlers who fulfill
the few conditions he imposes.
The big farm has not been a money
loser, according to Mr.. Johnston, but
it has retarded the settlement Of the
two townships in the county in which
lit is located and he expects his new
plan of giving away, land to bring in
forty families which will take an in
terest in and help build up the coun-
try. ,s: ...5.5 .ss.:s $.....: i.
The homeseeker who takes advan-
tage of Mr.. Johnston's offer, must i'm
prove his land, but he is not compelled
to pay any money or make any dOna-
ton. He mus comply with the follow
ing conditions. ,a5 n
He must agree to erect buildings
adequate to house his -amily and stock
and have enough stock and machin-
cry to operate and to do good farming
in addition to the thirty acres given,
the homeseeker must lease fifty acres
joining the tract given him, and the
rental for which will be the customary
rate charged in that section, half the
crop and the seed furnished, and he
will thus have an 80 acre farm on
which it is estimated one man can do
all the work

The Modern Woodmen held their
regular meeting last night and besides
transacting their regular amount of
business, listened to fine report from
George Mooers on his trip to the head
Camp meeting at Chicago. The work
done there in changing the assessment
proportions was talked over at length
after Mr.. Mooers concluded his speech
and everyone seemed to be satisfied
that the head representatives had made

st. Thomas Times: The ,stalwart
papers of the state that have no Taft
"plums" at stake, are playing hard the
old gang game of "a united party" in
order to sidetrack the LaFollette boom
that is getting altogether too big for
them and is causing all kinds of troub-
lie, and are pushing to the front harder
than ever just now the candidacy of
Ex-President Roosevelt. Althoug n
Roosevelt during the last election was
not a man after their liking and they
thought he acted up awfully," they
would have us believe now that he is
mighty good fellow for the voters
to tie to, when they have use for him,
and while such change of heart
might seem both real and remarkable
to those who are not acquainted with
the old time tactics of the machine,
it's after all the same old stacked deck,
1t would be too bad after all the troub-
lie they have gone to, to have Roose-
welt publicly declare himself not can
didate and say a good woro for LaF'ol-
lette, and such thing is liable to hap
pen.

Fargo Courier News: 1t is generally
election in this state of Progressive
Republican delegates to the national
convention will insure support from
start to finish of some Progressive
for president. Who can tell what the
election will do after voting once for
the choice of the party voters? The
presidential primary law is very vague
as to the length of time the delegates
shall support the choice of the people
of the state, 1t only providing that the
delegate shall Ito the best of his judy
ment and ability, faithfully carry out
the wishes of his political party as ex-
pressed by the voters at saio election"
Eight Of the gentlemen requested by
the Progressive league to become can
didates for delegates have stated they
would not only support the choice of
the people, whether it be La Toilette
or Roosevelt, but would to the end of
the convention earnestly strive to Sc
cure the election of a candidate for
president known to be supporter of
Progressive Republican principles.
No candidates could be more
straightforward or definite in their de-
clarations and every Progressive Re
publican in North Dakota can give
these candidates their hearty support,
knowing them to be men of integrity
and that they will not Detray the Pro
gressive cause by eventually turning
up as supporters of Taft or some other
Standpatter.

A DAUGHTER
FOUND DEAD
Mollie Regan, Aged ID Years,
Has Hemorrhage in Tent
and Dies in Attempt to
Reach House.

We are called upon this week to
chronicle one of the saddest deaths that
has ever occurred in the city, that of
Mollie, the 14-years '-old daughter of
Lawrence Regain. The little girls
mother died four years ago of consump-
tion and Mollie contracted the same
disease. She spent the past summer in
the higher altitude of Montana and had
slept in tent all winter and lived
outside the greater part of the time.
On Tuesday night she retired as usual
and seemed bright and happy. Her
tent was not more than five feet from
the house and she had been occupying
it alone all winter, her condition not
seeming. at all serious. During the
night she had her first hemorrhage and
after losing a considerable quantity Of
blood, she made her way to the house
but was unable to enter or arouse the
rest of the family and. her iifeless little
body was found al the front door in
pitiful heap in the morning, by her
sister, Katherine. The body was cold
and stiff and the blood on the doorstep
was frozen.
Marion Louise, or Mollie, as she was
called. was born in Ireland, and came 10
Dickinson with her parents in 1902.
She attended the schools here until
the present term and was bright and
attractive little girl. She was particu-
larly fond of her embroidery work and
had given large quantities of it as gifts
to her friends. She is survived by her
father. Lawrence Regain, two sisters.
Mrs. J. F. Slater and Miss Katherine
Reean and one brother. Michael. Mrs.
Kate Ryan and Miss Margaret Regan Of
this city are aunts of the little girl
and she has an uncle at Anaconda.
Mont.
The last rites were conducted from
St. Patrick church on Friday morning
at ten O'Clock, Rev. Fr. John Dignam
officiating. The remains were inferred
besides those of her mother in St.
Patrlck's cemetery. Six little boys Of
about her own age. Joe and George
Brodie. Willie Walton, Joe Nolan.
Victor Baker and Ronald Dundas, act
ed as pail bearers. Her most intimate
girl companions. Silvia Petricka,
Rachel Rattan, Frances Walsh. Vera
Hartung, Frances Nolan. Katie Lally.
Katerine Mckinley, Margaret Lish, Fa-
dora Drury and Helen Cuskelly, were hon.

casket, a last tribute from loving
friends.
