TWO DISTRICTS
Agricultural and Industrial
Work in School Districts
to be Under Single Head

Arrangements for the combining of
the agricultural and industrial work
in three school districts. were perfect
ed and the two mill tax authorized in
such cases was ordered levied, at. a
meeting held Monday night at the
Central school. East Grand Forks.
The districts included in the ar
rangement are numbers II, "a and IS.
H. E. Wolfe, superintendent of the
East Grand Forks schools, will be in
general charge of the work in all
three districts.
Under the law agricultural work,
and industrial training must be car
ried on in the schools of all three dis
tricts. In consideration of this. each
district is allowed to levy a special
tax of two mills on the dollar which
goes to the support of the work.
A special appropriation of $50 per
year, is also granted to each of the
districts by the state.
The matter was fully discussed at
the meeting last night. and the con-
solidation Of the three districts for
this work was agreed upon.
The president and secretary were
instructed to set about levying the
tax at once.

SOME REAL SCOTCH THRIFT.
Canny Inventor H%arnessed Mice
and Made Them Spin
Thread.

New York Press.)

To an ingenious Scotchman goes
the credit of being the first person
to harness a o and make him a
money-earning factor. He was David
Hutton. a native Of Dunfermline, and
his Unexpected death alone prevented
him from carrying out his experiments
on a much larger scale.
Hutton erected a small mill at Dun
fermline in 1920 and began the spin
nlng of thread. Just how he made
use of the small rodents is set forth
in pamphlet called Curiosity Coffee
Room"
"1n the summer of 1872" he wrote,
i had occasion TO he in Perth, and.
"hen inspecting the toys and trinkets
that were manufactured by the French,
prisoners in the depot there my at
tention was ~involuntarily attracted by
a little toy house with a wheel in the
sahle of it that was running rapidly
around. impellcd by the gravity of a
common house mouse.
For one shilling l purchased the
house. mouse M wheel. Inclosing il
in a handkerchief, on my journey
omewa I was compelled to con-
template its favorite amusement.
But how to apply half-ounce DOW

- SNAoi Ptl poSt MdS IHe ulII1CuiCN,
At length the manufacture of sewing
thread seemed the most practicable"
Ihough Mr.. Hutton proved that an
ordinary mouse would average a run
OF 10 IL miles a day, he had one
mouse which ran the remarkable dis
lance of is miles in that time.
A half renny's worth of oatmeal
was sufficient for it's foor for 35 DAYS.
during which time it ran 3e2 miles.
be kept two mice constantly neaee
IN the making of sewing thread for
more than a wear.
This thread mill was so construct
ed that the mouse was able to twist
twine and reel from 100 to 200 threads
a day, SUNDAYS not excepted. To per
form this task it had to run 10 1-2
miles a day. which it did with perfect
ease every other day.
On the half penny's worth Of oat-
meal. which lasted for five weeks. one
of these little mice made 1880 threads
25 inches long. mt as a penny was
paid to women for every hank made
in the ordinary way, the mouse at
that rate earned is cents every six
weeks.
Allowing for board and for ma
chlnery there was a clear yearly pro-
fit from each mouse Of $3.50.
1T was Mr.. Hutton's intention ia
apply for the loan Of the Dunferm-
line cathedral. which was empty,
where he planned to set up 10000
mouse mills and still leave room for
the keepers and several hundreds of
spectators; but this wonderful pro-
Jeet was never carried out because of
the inventors sudden death.

JIMMY CALLAHAN.

Frank Chance, manager of the New
York Americans. believes he was
''stung" by Jimmy Callahan, manag-
er of the Chicago White Sox, when he
made the most notable baseball trade
Of the year by giving Hal Chase, the
game, for Zeider, third baseman. and
Borton, the new first baseman. Bor-
ton has turned out to. be of no use to
the New York club, and he was sold to
a minor league club! Zeider develop
ed a bunion shortly after he reached
New York. and he has been out Of
the game for three weeks. Today the
net result of the deal to the New York
club has been the loss of Chase.
But Callahan has another story. 81
