that If they do become servants they
will be good ones, and IL they become
housewives in homes of their own
they will be efficient there. To this
end this school has subordinated the
conventional three RS of the conven-
tlonal school to the unconventional
three BIS of this particular school. To

10 % major fractions, but in no
ease less than % legal voters.
The petitions can be filed with the
city auditor as early as 80 days be-
fore the election and not later than
ten days preceding the same.
The Mayor holds his Office for
five years and the commissioners
hold theirs one, two. three, and
four years deciding their tenn of

the Mayor IS $50 per year and
that of the commissioners each 500

Mobridge is getting it in the neck
so far as the freight rates are con

the rate from Chicago to Aberdeen,
and that This is the reason that the

Eyes of the BarnacIe.

In the barnacle we have a unique
and wonderful case of a creature that
can afford as age comes on to dispense
with the eyesight that was so useful
in youth, for the young and old bar
nacle are as different, one from the
other. as fishes from seaweed. In the
heydey of life the barnacle swims
about the sea, seeking its food with
the aid of its eyes and generally lead
ing a roaming existence. Later In
life. however, 1t grows tired Of this
aimless wandering and settles down
to worry ship captains by attaching
itself to the keel of their craft and de-
flying the much advertised powers Of
various preventive paints. Once there.
the barnacle has become fixture, and
whether on ships or sharks its eye
sight is of no more use. 1t cannot
seek its food. and 1t cannot shun Its
foes. for it never more will move.
Therefore its eyes become super1u-
