For answer he pounded on the
door and Numbered:
Boys, l order you to open this
door! viii you obey me?'
"Treat!' was our ultimatum.
Followed several minutes of silence
and suspense, then he called to US:
Well, boys, l suppose the be-
sieger instead Of the besieged will
have to surrender. You may open the
door. l will treat
The door was opened slowly, eau

distrustful, but he was milling.

down. The colonel leaned farther
. back in the enveloping leather and
a volley of expanding rings poured
from beneath the carefully trimmed
white mustache
That" he said, with a wave of his
hand toward the throngs, set me to
thinking of how in my country school
days we big, bad boys sometimes
locked the teacher out to make him
give us a Christmas treat At the
precise moment you soaked me on the
shoulder | was thinking of the time
we locked out our teacher. We mott
fed him week beforehand that we
expected him to give us a nice, sub
stantial treat when school let out,
as we said, on Christmas eve. He had
been good-natured fellow and had
succeeded in keeping on good terms
with us scamps in spite of US, so as
we wanted, for the reason, to let him
off as easily as possible we specified
only box of oranges and a box of
candy.
II think about it, he said, laugh
ing, and we supposed it was as good
as agreed to.
So when on the morning of Christ
mas Eve day Mr.. Teacher arrived
without anything that possibly could
contain a treat, we were hurt--doubly
hurt to think that a supposed friend
would treat us so. We silently waited
till the noon hour, and when lunch
cons had been hurriedly gulped, two
of us were detailed to get him away
from the school house on some pre-
text or other. They succeeded, but
he didn't stay long, as it was a cold
day and there was snow. When he
found the door locked he ratified the
knob and called:
Open the door, please! 1t is l, Mr.
CT
Sorry, one of the boys replied
through the keyhole, but you'll have
to give us a Christmas treat before
we let you in
Come, boys, come he said stern.

me in at once'
We're not joking; we yelled back

horse, gay with sleigh-talls, glided up
before the schoolhouse door Mr..
Teacher, looking as pleasant as any of
US, jumped out and said:
Here you are! am going to leave
you to yourselves to enjoy your treat,
he explained, as he hastily fastened
the window shutters and shut up the
stove. He then locked the door and
put the key in his pocket. By that

CONCRETE
IS EFFECTIVE

Minot' Reporter: That the city is
not getting the material and work
manship bargained for, and for which
the property owners are expected to
pay a high price, Is. the prevailing
opinion of a large number of property
owners who have had occasion to ex-
anime the curb construction in con-
nection with the paving contract.
Examination conducted by, D. c..
Dorman, street commissioner, reveals a.
large per cent of clay and loan soil In
the sand and gravel used in the con-
crete. IL r&e- ~ ,sa1
The method of test used has been to
take sand and gravel from the piles
hauled in and used in the curb con-
crete and intended for use in, the COM
crete base, and place quantities of the
mixture in glass jars. The jar is then,
filed with clear water, and thoroughly
shaken. The water will DISSOLVE the
clay loan, the gravel and sand will
settle to the bottom of the jar and the
clay form a layer on top and the pro-
portion of clay can be readily ascer-
tanned.
Several jars containing mixtures
tested in this way have been on exhi-
bition at Shirley's automobile garage
the past two days, and examined by
scores Of people who are surprised at
the lack Of attention on the part of the
ely dutLo[llleS. MI. DoILIldIl says ne
will not o.. X. any more bills of the con-
tractor until he is fully satisfied that
specifications are complied with.
Contractor Cakes, when interviewed
by a Reporter representative, today
stated that he is following the ~instruc-
tions of the city engineer, and that tho
sand and gravel used are passed upon
by the engineer. Mr.. Cakes further
stated that he is doing all he can to
give the city a good job under the
plans and specifications furnished, and
that in some instances he is even doing
more than the plans and specifications
| call for.
City Engineer Thomas could not be
seen today, as he Is out of the city. He
is coming in for considerable criticism
- he prepared the plans and specifca-
lions and Is employed by the city to
look after its interests.

BOYS LED
STOCK in PARADE

Grand Forks, N. D., July 25.-Be-
cause of the great interest manifested
in livestock by the members of the
farm boys camp which is being held
here under the direction of the Bet
ter Farming association the fair Of
ficials chose the boys to lead the prize
winners around the track in the great
livestock parade held here yesterday
afternoon. No only was this a nice
tribute to the earnestness and
enthusiasm of the boys but 1t SYM
bolized in no small degree the n of
North Dakota, the exclusively grain
state and the new generation Of farm
ers heralding the coming of North
Dakota, in grain and stock the bread
basket of the world.
One of the finest addresses of the
entire session was that delivered by
Sec. Thomas Cooper. of the Better
Farming association to the boys yes
terday. II want you to know" said
Mr.. Cooper, that the Better Farming
association is in this state n 1t is
working for better farming by every
farmer. / want you to enter farming
as a business for the farm is a great
business and what better place can
you find for that business than North
Dakota which has the largest per
ceptage, OF hrSt class soil of any state
in the union. You boys are here
learning to be farmers, go home fully
realizing the dignity OF your occupa-
ton and resolve to acquire all knowl-
edge possible which will make you
better able to enter upon the duties OF
your, life work."
President Worst, Of the agricultural
college delivered an eloquent address
to the camp yesterday afternoon in
which he urged to boys to plant trees
which will equalize our climate and
make more beautiful the prairie.
President Worst stated that he hoped
there would be more of these gather
ings in the years to come and that the
boys, by knowing better farming
methods, could make this state one of
the greatest agriculturally in the
union. He was heartily cheered by the
enthusiastic campers at the conclusion
Of his address.

In the World of Sport
ATHLETICS ARE
"GOING some"

Connie Mack's White Elephants,
pace-setters in the race for the Am
rican league pennant, have averaged
nearly six runs to the game. In the
first se~venty-one contests in which
they participated, the Mackmen cross
ed the plate 404 times, errors of the
opposition helping them to forty-nine
adversaries enabling them to acquire
ten tallies. Eleven markers were Sc
cured through medium steals, leaving
334 run that the Athletics actually
batted in. -.
Mack had a splendid q%uintette of
timely hitters in Frank Baker, Jack
McInnis, Eddie Collins, RUDE Old
ring and Jack Barry, the best of the
lot, according to the records, being
Baker. The Mauling Marylander, who
stands a good chance of winning the
Chalmers car offered to the American
league player who does the most for
his team, a hammered home sixty
two taliies and if he keeps on hit
ting in the pinches as he has been
doing he will probably set a record
for the American league in driving in
uns. "Stuffy" McInnis ranks second
as a timely hitter among the Mackmen.
He has put the finishing touches to
fifty tallies. Eddie Collins, with for
ty-one, ranks third and Oldring and
Barry are tied for the fourth position,
each with thirty-eight run batted
home and Strunk is a fine sixth, with
thirty counters driven in to his credit.
In fact, all the Mackmen have been
hitting in the pinches, which is the
principal reason the team shot to the
fore and has stayed there.
Even Ensign Cottrell, a slabman
who was never accused of being a
heavy hitter, batted v~aliantly while he
was with the Athletics. He took part
only in one full game, but in that
game he cleared the bases Of their
three inhabitants with a double.
The number of runs batted in by the
Athletics in their first se~venty-one
games are revealed below:

SCHOOL WORK in
BILLINGS COUNTY

Medora, N. D.. July 25.-The first
school in Billings county was a private
one, and opened in the fall Of 1885.
The county being then unorganized,
the Marquise de Mores employed and
paid the teacher.
In 1884 township 140-102 was sur
yeyed; the first in the county. In
1886, the county being organized this
township was organized as sMedora
school district" Pupils were few and
far between in these good old days.
Some twenty years ago the second
district was organized at Sentinel
Butte. In 1896, the land being urlsur-
veyed, the whole county was organic
ed into two districts, and remained
SO until settlers commenced to flock
into the county, when many new dis
tricts were segregated from the two
old districts. The large districts led
to some abuse, years ago.
Medora was left a very large district
until the present year, when the town
ship was organized as a civil town
ship. and Medora school district. Or
that part of it in township 140-10g has
been organized as "de Mores school

was elected-It is proposed to erect q
new school house, employ two Amerf-
can teachers, and open an American
school; IL such is possible In this
state.

FARMERS ELEVATOR
IS FINE SUCCESS

Montpelier, N. D., July 25. - The
practical cooperation of the farm
ers in the vicinity of Montpelier has
been fully demonstrated in the Mont
|pelier Farmers Elevator Co. which
held its first annual meeting of stock
holders this mont and declared a
dividend equal to SO per cent. "A year
ago, Aug. 1, the company bought the
10000 bushel elevator of the Andrews
Grain Co. and in the eleven months
history of the company up to July l
this infant industry and cooperative
movement handled over a quarter of a
million bushels of grain, about 500
tons of fuel and four cars of wood.
Besides that the Farmers company
vas the means of benefitting every
other resident here in introducing
real competition and e~nchancing the
value of the crop to every farmer
who markets his grain at this sta
ton. Prior to the purchase Of the
elevator many farmers shipped their
grain but now few ship, finding 1t
more profitable and less annoyance
and inconvenient to market their
grain here. The general opinion seems
to be that the cooperative movement
here has resulted in profit to the
farmers, whether or not they were
stockholders of this company, to the
extent Of at least two cents a bushel.
The stock in the company is divided
among forty stockholders, none of
which own more than $4O0 worth
eight shares. All the officers were re-
elected as follows:
President-Jules Maze, sr.
Vice President-Eldo Chinberg. y
Secretary-Treasurer-Alf. Scholar
der. 5
Manager-Henry Gullickson.
The success of the company has
been so pronounced, and the future
seems so sure that it is said some
of the members would like to branch
out into other lines as well, but the
more conservative members do not
deem the time ripe for such a move
ment, though heartily in accord with
it. They hold that there is much
education. yet necessary before it
could be made successful and it Is
considered better to do one thing
well rather than to spread out too
| soon and make a. failure of one or
rcre branches of the business. Mr..
Gullickson is the efficient manager
of the company and he closely looks
after the affairs. ;
