court which awarded Miss Oren $4,000.
Peterson and Miss OFen became ac-
quainted with each other in 1905 and
according to the testimony Of the wo-

VALLEY CITY TO
HAVE BASEBALL

Valley City, N. D., March 25.--At a
recent meeting of the board Of direc-
tors of the Valley City Baseball as
ISOLATION, it was definitely decided 20
have a team for the season of 1912.
The manager of last years team has
again been secured to handle the
team, n he viii proceed at once to
select his men and get them on the
ground as soon as the season opens.
McGarry's experience both as a player
and manager won him many friends
among the fans last year and the di-
~rectors and public both feel confident
that the team he will assemble will be
q top-notcher and one which will re-
tain the prestige Valley City teams
have had in the past.
McGarry is now in correspondence
with all of the Valley City players Of
the last two years and he will bring
here a team Of known ability.
Mccarthy, who is being tried out
with st. Paul at present, written
the management that il he fails 30
make good with them he is anxious
to come back here. Thrall, who play
ed here two years ago, wants to come
back, as does Leaby.
Bodman. who played first base for
jamestown and afterwards for Alex
andria. will probably be secured for
first base, while Becker Will hold
down the third sack. In the outfe;d
Pitcher Smith, who made a record here
a year ago will In all probability re-
turn with Kline and Stevens, center
fielder for Alexandria, in the other out
field positions.
There is a great deal of baseball
enthusiasm in the state which win
result in first class teams for a num-
her of cities. Fargo, Casselton and
Jamestown will all have strong teams
n before the season is over they
will know that Valley City is also in
the running.
Within a few days a committee az
the directors will canvass the city for
funds. II you are called upon by solic-
itors for support for the team, re-
member that baseball Is the national
game. 1T is one of the best az well az
one of the most economical ways Of
advertising a city and has done much
to put Valley City on the map la the
last three years. 1t Is the greatest
summer amusement there is, and
makes a live town out of q small city
which would otherwise be dead Tor
three months.
Give the team our hearty support
and help win the rag for Valley CITY.

the guards had a hard time finding

Grand Forks scored first with a foul

team work was much superior to that

american money and q few papers,
among which were citizen papers

Reports received at the Office OF
the State Superintendent Of Pub
lie Instruction indicate that the
rural school attendance in Ken
lucky has increased about 20 per
cent.
The increase is contributed to the
compulsory school law which was
adopted by the last Legislature.
This seems reasonable inference
as the increase is larger than it
has been for at least six years.
The increase, to be sure, will have
to be great deal bigger before a
majority of the children of school
age are enrolled in the schools, for
the attendance In Kentucky is
shockingly small as compared
with the number of children
shown by the school census.
There are many school districts
in the State that are inadequately
equipped for taking care of all
those children who are eligible to
attend. In fact, there are some
of them which are not adapted to
the needs of any sort of school
or of any number of pupils, how
ever small. To enlarge the effect
iveness of the country schools we
need better buildings, better
equipment and better teachers.
There are hundreds of school
houses in the State, some of them
in prosperous communities, which
are in no sense suitable for school
purposes. and which are practic-
ally barren of the equipment and
conveniences which should be
available if pupils are to make
proper progress. Then there are
some hundreds of teachers who
lack qualification for the impor-
tant duties they are attempting to
perform and whose ill-paid servi-
ces would be dear at any price.
An efficient rural school is
power for good and competent
teacher in a country school is a
potent force for community ad-
vancement. The improvement of
these schools is the most impor-
tant task that confronts the people
of Kentucky. An increase in at
tendance is of favorable signi6-
canoe, but there are other features
of the school situation that must
be remedied if the schools are
measurably to fulfill their mission.

Death of Green Keller.

Col. Green r. Keller, sixty.
seven, for thirty years editor OF
the Carlisle Mercury. a member
of the Legislature from Nicholas
and Robertson counties and secre-
of Morgan's Men Association,
died at his home in Carlisle last
Wednesday evening of stomach
trouble. He had been in i'll health
for three years.
Col. Keller was a native of
Bourbon county, where he was
born in 1S45. He enlisted in
Company B, of the Fifth Ken
lucky Cavalry, G. S. A., when it
was organized. The Fifth Ken
lucky was first attached to Gen.
Buford's brigade, John H. Nor
gan's division. When that daring
leader made his famous raid into
Indiana and Ohio Col. Keller was
with him and with him suffered
being confined for a long
period in the Federal prison at
Columbus, o. Soon after the
war Mr.. Keller was chosen clerk
of the House of Representatives.
At several later sessions he was an
assistant clerk.
Mr.. Keller was widower at
the time of his death, his wife,
who was Miss Holton, of Mason
county, having died five or six
years ago. He is survived by
two sons, DIR. Hervey Keller, of
Frankfort, and Stanley w. Keller.

A criticism Of government sales,
sent to us by a subscriber. reminds
us again OF how so many persons
imagine conservation is the oppo-
site of use. The national forests
contain about 600 billion feet of
merchantable timber. Three hun
dred and fifty billion feet is ripe
for the axe and deteriorating in
value, rapidly on areas swept by
fire, gradually on areas where the
forest is mature and the trees are
slowly Welding to decay. To the
extent to which the overripe tim
Der on the national forests cannot
be cut and used while still mer-
charitable, public property is
wasted. This is the very antithesis
of conservation. The annual growth
of wood on the national forests is
equivalent to about six billion feet
of lumber. This much can be cut
every year for all time without de-
pleting the supply. The total cut
during the last year was not quite
half billion feet. Ripe timber
must be sold under conditions
practicable for the numbering OPP
crater. Such sales supply many
Western communities. They sup
port mining and other local in
dustries. They permit the indie
pendent operator, owning no tim
Der, to establish himself in the
numbering business. Thus they
promote competition and furnish
the best check upon monopoly.
Under scientific methods of cut
ting, they improve the condition of
the forest and make possible the
more rapid production of better
kinds of timber in the future.
Preference is always given % to
local communities and (2) to small
operators who log on a small scale
and are connected with none of
the large timber interests. Many
bodies of national timber, on the
other hand, are inaccessible. Far
back in the rugged mountains of
the West they can be placed upon
the market only by large outlay
for railroads or other transporta-
ton facilities. Many of these in.
accessible forests cannot he util-
lied without the construction of
saw-mills. Under such conditions,
the timber can only be sold in suf-
fcent quantities to justify the
large investment which the oper-
ator is compelled to e.-Col-
lier'S.

Open Air Schools
Show Rapid Growth.

a With the opening of the fall
school term, over 200 open air
schools and fresh air classes for
tuberculosis and anaemic children,
and also for all children in certain
rooms in grades, will be in opera
tion in various parts of the United
States, according to a statement
published today by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis.
4 All of these schools. the associa-
ttion says, have been established
since January, 1907, when the
first institution of this character
was opened in Providence. X. L.
On January 1st, 1910, there were
only ID open air schools in this
country and a year later this nam
Der had increased only to 20.
Thus, the real growth in this
movement has been within the last
two years.
Massachusetts now leads the
states with sc fresh air schools
and classes for tuberculosis amaze
mic and other school. children,
Boston alone having over 80. New
York comes next with 20, and
Ohio is third with 81. Open air
schools have now been established
in nearly so cities in 10 different
states.
Based on figures of population
and mortality furnished by the
United States Bureau of the Cen
sus. it is estimated that not less
than 100000 children now in
schools in the United States will
die of tuberculosis before they are
eighteen years of age, or that
about $500 of these children die
annually from this one disease.
Estimating that on an average
each child who dies from tubercu-
losis has had six years of school
ing, the aggregate loss to this
country in wasted education each
year amounts to well over 81 ,000,-
600.
This loss and much of the Incl
dent suffering could be materially
decreased if open air schools or
classes for these children who are
sickly and anaemic were provided.
The National Association estimates
that there should be one such
school for every %, 900 population,
especially in cities.

". S. LLOYD SUCCESSIVE.
Induced DR.. Howard Co. to Make
Special Prices.

After a great deal of effort and
correspondence w. S. Lloyd, the
popular druggist, has succeeded
in getting the DR.. Howard Co. to
make a special half-price intro
ductory offer on the regular fifty
cent size of their celebrated spe-
cific for the cure of constipation
and dyspepsia.
This medicine is a recent dis
covery for the cure of all diseases
of the stomach and bowels. IT
not only gives quick relief. but it
makes permanent cures.
DR.. Towards specific has been
so remarkably successful in curing
constipation, dyspepsia and all
liver troubles that w. s. Lloyd is
willing to return the price paid in
every case where it does not give
relief.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizzi-
ness, gas on stomach, specks be-
fore the eyes, constipation and all
forms of liver and stomach
troubles are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this
specific that w. S. Lloyd has
been able to secure only a limited
supply, and everyone who is
troubled with dyspepsia, consti-
patton or liver trouble should call
upon him at once, or send 25 cents
and get sixty doses of the best
medicine ever made, on this
special half price offer with his
personal guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure. 1913
