COTTON IN SEALED JARS.
Officially Graded Samples to Serve as
Standards in Future.


Standards in Future.
Graded cotton, which would be un-
changed in color texture if kept and
opened a thousand from now, is be-
ing placed in Theoretically sealed
vacuum glass cases by the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington.
These officially graded and tested
samples are to serve as the standard
by which the cotton of the future
will be graded
Altogether about fifty sets of sam
pies will be preserved; and these, it
is estimated, may last a hundred
years, as once every two years will
be as often, it is believed, as it will
be necessary to compare current
grades with the standard.

that this does not exempt it from the!

commissioner of an Independent dis
trict is entitled to two votes. The
members from the country districts
may be elected either by ballot or by.
viva voce: but there is no provision
that the election be held in the district,

though not advisable, be held at some
other place, as the county seat. The

pality which owns and rents it's own
system of text books is held exempt
from the action of the uniform text

The legislature seemed to be hazy
in its definition of the local districts,
and it is held that both where the
country schools are districted accord
ing to commissioners districts and
where districted according to other
plans that either kind is entitled to a
representative on the county board.

RUMORED PENDING "SHAkEUP"

Aberdeen, S. D., May 4.-According
to reports circulated in railroad circles
in Aberdeen, a general "shakeup' Is
about to take place in the general Of
fees of the Northwestern railroad. In
which the president, the general man
ager al, other officials high in that
system are to lose their heads.
According to the report, a recent
meeting of the board of directors OF
the road was held, at which the ma
jority of the board found grave fault
with the manner in which the affairs
of the road la been conducted of late,
the fault even extending to charges of
moral turpitude on the part of some
of the officials. n of differences of
opinion among them relative to who
was boss" which. it is claimed. had
done much to demoralize the operation
of the road.
One OF the chief grounds of com
plant. however, according to the re-
port, was the failure Of the officials to
complete the deal for blending the
Northwestern and the Union Pacific
systems. No definite accounts of the
action taken are given In the rumor,
but the report that there is a general
"shakeup' with practically an entire
change of officials down to general
traffic manager is persistent.
