Sweet Picked Beets With Onions.

A Canadian way Of piokling beets Ia
very nice. Allow two onions for two
punches of beets. The sugar may be
boiled with the beets, also the vinegar,
il quick results are desired, but it is far
more economical and quite as nice to
boil the beets in plain water as usual.
Leave the skins and root-end on, in
either case, to preserve the juice of the
beets.
Wash and clean the beets; do not pare
them; boil until tender. Do not cook
the onions at all. Slice the onions In q
dish that can be covered. Slice the
cooked beets over them. Prepare a
syrup as follows, allowing this amount
for two punches of beets.
One cup of water, one-fOurth cup OF
vinegar, one-balf q cup OF sugar; boil
this and pour over the beets aud onions,
which have been pleptifully sprinkled
with salt and pepper. Add red pepper,
either bits of the pod, paprika or cayenne
as liked by different families. In some
Philadelphia restaurants one finds bay
leaf used with the picked beets. Tara
gon vinegar is also excellent.

Marion's Prayer.

Marion's mother was i'll, and the aunt
who took her place at the head of the
household piled the children with unac'
customed and sometimes disliked arti.
cles of diet. One day, after being com
PEELED to eat onions, Marion refused to
say grace. -,
"Then you must sit at the table until
you are r.ady to say it!' was the aunts
judgment. An hour or 30 later, when
the brilliant sunshine and impatient
calls of her comrades together comprised
an irresistible appeal, Marion capitulated
thus:
"Oh. Lord, make me thankful for hav.
ing had to eat horrid old onions, If you
can! But l know you can't"

MODEL CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOL
BROOKLYN SCHOOL NEAR
WHEELOCK, WILLIAMS COUN.
TY, WAS DEDICATED-WEST-
ERN NORTH DAKOTA MAKING
GREAT STRIDES.

Brooklyn central school, located
south of Wheelock, in Williams coun-
ty, is said to be one of the banner CEN
trail institutions of the state. Locat-
ed out on the prairie, it has served
the purpose of Joining the community
and giving the pupils the best kind Of
an opportunity to secure an education.
There are two teachers who are we'll
paid, one receiving $110 month and
the other SIS. The principal Of the
school is graduate of an agricultural
college in Wisconsin.
The building is modern in every way
with up-to-date heating, lighting and
ventilating systems.
The school building takes the place
of three old buildings, one of which
has been converted into a residence
for the principal.
The school building was dedicated
last Thursday, N. c. Macdonald, con-
solidated school inspector of the state,
delivering the main address,. He stat
ed that North Dakota has made great
err strides along consolidation during
the past year than during the seven
previous years. And still, the CONSOLE
dation of schools is still in its embryo
state. Western North Dakota has
made better Roadway in consolidation
that has the eastern portion of the
state.
Consolidated schools get subsidy
from the state of 5000 for first class
and $500 per annum for second class.

.SOMERS PUBLISHES
BOOK Of Poems
UNDISCOVERED POET OF THE
WEST IS BACK WITH INTER
ESTING BOOK PERTAINING TO
THIS SECTION OF THE NORTH
WEST.

James J. Somers, ".the undiscovered
poet of the vest" as he has become
known, arrived in Minot Saturday af-
ter an absence of four years.
Well we remember when "Iir''
farmed with his hoe along the Mlnot
trail eleven years ago. He raised gar
den Sass" that made this district ia
nous, and when he didn't have any
other work to do, he'd sit down most
any time and jot down poem, for
Jim is as full Of rhyme as pup is of
tricks. The Independent in years
past has published many of these
poems and they are good ones, too,
portraying pioneer life in the great
northwest. Mr.. Somers recently had
published an edition of his rhymes
which are illustrated in an interesting
manner. He is disposing of his books
at nominal figure and has been meet
ing with excellent success.
A number of these books have been
left at this Office and to anyone inter-
ested, We'll gladly mail one of them
upon receipt of a dollar.
