In addition to the work in the
High school classes, the agriculturist,
who, is Professor Kuhlman at pres
ent, must supervise the experimental
work at the High school farm. and
must do certain amount of :extens-
ion work among the farmers. One
of the main objections to the present
sstem cited by Professor Storm is the
fact that at present the Agricultural
is not available to farmers who may
wish to seek his advice = 4 ~ :. t..
Professor Storm has approved Of
the suggestion that an addition be
built to the present High school
building and that the department OF
agriculture be given a ground floor
office, class room and laboratory.
The school board expects to have
Professor Storms report before the
May meeting and will take the matter
UP officially at that time.
4 Professor Storm expressed himself
as pleased with the work Of the de-
partment and that lack Of room was
the only criticism offered. 4. 6.

BLOOD HERE
His Grandson Found Living in Cali

BUCKS TIMBER FOR II LIVING
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Los Angeles, April 11.-But three
generations from royal purple to de-
MIN overalls marks today the transi-
ton of the stock of Napoleon from
France to California. Here it has re-
appeared in the person of William
Gordon, who claims to be a grandson
of the conquering Corsican. Gordon,
who is sixty-fve years old and gets
$3.50 day for bucking lumber, has
added confirmation to the statement
of the Crittenden Memorial society
of San Francisco, and several experts
in genealogy, that real Napoleonic
blood flows in his veins.
Gord0n's story bares another rom
ance of Napoleon, which bloomed
even while he was a prisoner at St.
Helena. The grandmother through
whom comes his royal connection was
a Scot, he said, of the name of Cor
don. She was matron of the French
hospital on the island Of Napoleon's
exile. Her story and Napoleon's and
his own, were told by Gordon as fol-
lows:
my father was born in Edinburgh
November II, 1918, where his mother
went from St. Helena when she learn
ed she was to become mother. He
was called John and was known by
her family name of Gordon He was
a jeweler, and soon after his mar
riage he emigrated to America, going
to New London, Conn. I was born
there in 1S47. In 1871 my father
went to San Francisco, where he died
in 1885. was his only son.
81 was twenty-three years of age
when l was married in New London
to Anna Elmina Winchester. She
came from the Scotch Boswells, and
we think she too has a strain of
royal blood. After my marriage I
lived in San Francisco seventeen
years. I have been employed at var
ious jobs here but I have always
made an honest living, and am sat
isfed and happy" 81. .I.. =,
Gordon is keeping at his daily la
Dor, even since his alleged connec-
lions have been made known. Neces-
sity compels this, even should he wish
to enjoy any glorying in his illustri-
Gus ancestor. y s&. 81 #%.@ f+S.e."

With the floating Of a loan by

The first Methodist church built in
Bemidji, was struck by lightning and
destroyed by five about three. years
ago. Work on the present structure
was started in the fall of 1910. The
basement was finished off for Sun
day school room and is being used
for church worship until the main
auditorium will be completed: The
plans call for a twenty-four foot ad-

enlargement of the building. The
church stands at the corner of Ninth

NONE INDoRsED. BY WILSON

Washington, April 1.-THE new
currency reform bills introduced in
the house by Representatives Prouty
of Iowa, Nelson Of Wisconsin and
Palmer Of Pennsylvania, now number
nearly a dozen, covering all the
branches of the banking and currency
reform, but none of which bear the
endorsement of the official commits
sion of the two houses or the presi-
dent.
Representative Carter Glass, who
probably introduced a measure about
which the money reform debate will
center in the house, conferred with
Secretary McAdoo q, of the treasury,
who has been gathering information
from the banks upon certain phases
of the financial situation. Glass said
at the end Of the conference there
would be no difference of opinion be-
tween himself and McAdoo over the
bill he introduced in the house.
Weeks bill embraces plan of
monetary commission; the Hitchcock
bill proposed twenty distance reserve
associations, each with power to is
sue notes to it's members and buy and
sell commercial papers; the Jones bill
proposes sixteen sub-treasury dis
tricts, each one empowered to issue
currency to banks on approved bonds.
Emergency Currency Up.
Washington, April 11.-Of the bills
introduced yesterday that of Repre-
sentative Nelson proposes a national
currency board of seven members
with the power to issue treasury notes
through local associations Of reserve
and discount" that of Representative
Prouty would create new emergency
currency similar to that created by the
Aldrich-Vreeland law now in force,
but which would be much more access
sible for banks in emergency. Under
this measure the emergency notes, in
an amount equal to forty per cent of
a banks capital and surplus could be
stored in the banks vaults and put in
with the consent Of the
comptroller Of the currency. Repre-
sentative Palmer's bill, and one in
troduced earlier in the week by sena-.

the right to loan money upon real
