STRENUOUS EDUCATION


mond and Berea would be taxed
for the support of the rural
schools and that they would not
get any part of the appropriation
for their own schools. This
statement was erroneous, and
was brought about by our misun-
Outstanding the statement of Mr..
Terrill, the County Court Clerk,
with whom we were talking over
the telephone. The rest of the
article was substantially correct.
We have been handed state
ment by County Judge Shackel-
ford of the probable amount
which the levy of fifteen cents
will produce, and according to
his figures it will amount to
$18,051. A part of this is based
on an estimate, and the exact
figures cannot be ascertained for
some time, as it is based partly
on railroad and other assessments
which have not yet been ascer-
tanned.
In our hurry last week we did
not notice the error and the pa
per was printed and distributed
before it was observed, hence the
correction this week. We have
not time now to either investi-
gate or discuss the question from
a legal standpoint, for the reason
that the school law is very vol
luminous and much obscured, and
difficult to reconcile and under
stand.
This leads us to the general
observation that because of the
careleSsness in the writing of
laws, that the burden of local
self government has been made
very great. The people at large
cannot and do not understand
the same, and it is exceedingly
difficult for those intrusted with
the enforcement of these laws to
ferret out their meaning and to
follow them.
The fiscal court is composed of
good men, safe and reliable.
The proposition is also made
that the Fiscal court has nothing
to do with the amount of the levy
and that this is left entirely to
the discretion of the school board,
a proposition which we do not
discuss. We content ourselves
with the observation that if this
be true, then the people had bet
ter turn their attention to the do
ings of the school boards, both
county and city.
The order of the Court in ref
erence to the school appropria-
ton reads as follows towit:
'Now comes the Madison Coun,
ty Board of Education and pre-
sents to this Court a demand for
the sum of $l8,000.0O for school

Evangelist
Closes Work

Last Sunday night saw the close
Of the Eyangelistic meetings that
have been conducted for the past
two weeks at the M. E. Church
in Wibaux. The exercises from
start to finish were premeated
throughout with that deep earnest
solemnity SO often seen and recog-
nlzed as the forerunner of the
very best things in this world.
This meeting took the track Of
those old time revivals which
many OF us SO we'll remember, in
other days. Bro. Burris has done
US good. God has wonderfully
blessed His work under the unit
ed effort and prayers Of his people.
Many souls have been saved, and
the Spiritual life Of the church
has been quickened, human hearts
have been made happy and glad
thro their own, and others saliva
ton. This has been a year Of
good things for us, and the end is
not yet, we are pressing on to
"higher ground'. We are max
ing Woodville our next place for
one week, then Rev. Burris must
meet other engagements. But on
Monday night, Mar. Both be will
hold a final service in the M. E.
Church, the subject will be on
Faith, and the many friends he
has made during his short stay
here, will be glad to gather at
this meeting to grasp his hand
again, aud to ges hr mes,sar of
Eternal Life

wheel, it will be time enough
then to consider the matter Of
his election. We are for the
best interests Of the city and
citizens and are not controlled
by any faction in this matter,
but we have yet to see the men
who can manage the city's af-
fairs in a more capable manner
than they have been managed
IN the past two years and for
this reason we are for the CITY
Council as it stands today.

curse Of the earth in foul weeds.
The experience of all newly de-
veloped farming sections has
been an era of poor cultivation,
naturally followed by frigttful
conditions of the soil. AS a con-
sequence a hard time period fol-
lows while the new and real
farmer takes hold of the soil
and brings it back to fertility.
We hope and trust that the ex-
perience Of the Dakota farmers
IN past years will not be ours.
And the only method to evade
these conditions are just enough
farming to do it well, a fair a.
mount Of stock to fall back on
it crops fail-and the idea al
ways foremost to put back just
a little fertility into the soil
each year. It is an immutable
law Of nature that land robbing
soon reacts and at a frightful
toll. Wild oats on a farm are
as exacting as the wild oats in
life.
We are proud of our Wibaux
farmers, their past records have
proven them experts in their
work, and we can only urge
continuation along the same
lines. It will prove an incent-
i've to the new ones rapidly com
ing in, and in time we shall be
noted as a land Of milk and
honey.

Disastrous Fire Narrowly
Averted Tuesday Night.

What might have promised a
serious fire was narrowly avert
ed at an opportune moment last
Tuesday evening, when upon
coming into the kitchen at the
Chapel hotel, Mrs. Chappell
discovered the wall paper and
woodwork about a burning oil
stove in a mass of flames. She
Immediately ran to summon help
and IN few moments the fire
was extinguished. A large num-
Der OF volunteers responded to
Mrs. Chappell's cries for help.
The fire undoubtedly originated
from the wick of the oil stove
crawling up and the flame ignit-
ing the wall paper, and thence
to the castings. While the actu-
al damage loss was small the
outcome might have proven SER
ious had not the fire been dis
covered in time to have been
put under immediate control
with emergency measures.

City Politics
Looming Up

It is not the intent of the editor
to dictate as to whom you should
cast your vote for at the city
election to be held April 9Th, for
every intelligent man has enough
sense to vote for the man who
will be the best for the place and
who will also look after the in
terests of the city in manner
that will bear the closest investi-
cation. The present board of
City Dads have handled the af-
fairs of our progressive little city
in very business like way and
we can see no particular reason
why a change should take place
at this time.
Those men who have compos-
ed the city council in the past
have done their work faithfully
and for the best interests Of the
city. Last year a great deal Of
work was completed and this
work has been paid for in full
and today the city has nice
sum on deposit and no outstand-
ing warrants against same. In
fact the city is far better off to-
day than at any stage heretofore
which to the average citizen,
should show that the affairs
have been handled in a very ef-
flcient manner. Then, in a
short time the matter Of water
works and sewers will be brought
up before the city council and it
seems to us that the body would
be able to handle this important
matter in better shape than with
a couple of new members COM
Dlned With the old. From the
way the city has been run in
the past two years, we would
much rather stake our chances
with the old tried-out board.
The present city dads have prop
erty and pay probably two-thirds
of the taxes. Do you think such
men would do anything to harm
the city's best interests?
The Pioneer editor has figured
this matter out and has conclud-
ed that the present board is cap
able of doing the work requested
and that it is no more than fair
to allow them another term, and
it at the end of said term, some
man or men, who have the back
ing of the business men, should
desire to have a trial at the

Woman Sustains Injuries
In Runaway Accident.

On last Monday morning, as
Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Trollope,
who reside in the vicinity of
Been, were driving in from the
farm, just at the approach to the
bridge the team became fright
ened at a passing automobile,
and proceeded down the street
only as scared bronchos can.
The occupants were thrown
from the wagon, Mr.. Trollope
sustaining severe shaking up
only, while his wife suffered
from a fracture Of the collar
bone and leg, and bruising of
external tissues. She was TAX
Ell to the Chappell, and surg
ical attendance promptly given
her. By Thursday she was able
to be taken in an automobile to
her home at Been, and her re-
covery will be but a matter of a
short time. Mr.. Trollope's injur-
les did net reG..sf,e special at
tendance, and he was able to
proceed with his business af-
fairs. They are receiving the
congratulations Of friends over
their narrow escape.

Spring Work
Opening Up

The last struggling slap that
old winter can give us this year
descended upon us the first Of the
week, and the thermometer fir
ted above and below the zero
mark rather freely for several
mornings. However, a good
blanket Of snow has covered the
ground, which while slowly mel
ting, is of immense value to the
soil. While the amount of mois-
ture has not been as great this
season as in previous years, no
anxiety is being felt, for the
reason that copious spring rains
will furnish all the moisture nee
essary. The old theory that a
great blanket Of snow insures a
good crop has proved fallacy.
In such case the snow melts
rapidly on the frozen ground
and runs off rapidly into the
creeks and rivers. One good
warm spring rain, sinking into
the soil deeply as it falls beats
the snow theory at every turn
OF the road.
The agricultural aspect Of this
vicinity has many bright phases
for the coming year. Quite gen
orally, there is much blowing
done, and the land is in excel
lent shape for an early spring
seeding. In fact a number of
pieces have already been seeded
Tor ten days or more. Last fall
the farmers had plenty of op-
portunity to bring the land up.
Previous years there have been
instances where weather condi-
tions have not permitted fall
plowing. This spring there is
very little work to be done that
should have been accomplished
last fall.
Land values are constantly in
creasing in value in agricultural
sections the country over. Care
ful and diversified farming has
proven the only sure road to
wealth. Nowhere in the world
are there better opportunities
for wealth than on the broad
fertile lands surrounding Wi
baux. The soil needs but judi
cious scratching with a cultiva-
tor, and 10! the bread Of the Un-
iverse is brought forth. Unfor-
tunately, mistreated soil re-
spends just as rapidly to the

EXPECT FLOYD FIFER
TRIAL TO OPEN SOON
Young Man Charged With Muir
der of E. A. Fink Will 90 Be-

1t is probable that the trial OF
Floyd F1fer. charged with shooting
f. A. Fink, druggist, on Michigan av..
last February. which was venued to
the Elkhart county circuit court, will
begin one week from Monday. At
tOrneys for the defendant had the
case continued last Monday for two
weeks and Pros. Chester n. Montgom-
cry expects to open the trial when the
continuance expires
Fffer and Joseph Smith, who is con-
fined TO the county Jail here, were
arrested shortly after the shooting of
Mr.. Fink, who died several days later
as a result OF his wounds. Fifer con-
fessed shooting the druggist TO the
police officers here, but later denied
that he committed the murder. Smith
was given as an accOmplice in the
confession.
Fink was shot one evening about 9
o'clock when a young man entered
his store and demanded the money in
the cash register with a revolver as
a persuader. Fink attempted tC
overcome the hold up man and al
though he drove him from the store
the rObber shot him several times be-
fore escaping.

BOARD IN QUANDARy
ON LIGHTING PROBLEM
Possibilities of Law Suit or Un-
satisfactory Service Hold UP
Award of Contracts.

A definite settlement of the lighting
contract problem now facing the board
of public works seems as far distant
as ever according to Pres. r. NJ. Nor
ris of the board. With the proba-
bility of a lawsuit if the contract is
let to one company and the possibility
of unsatisfactory service for the
money expended on the other facing
them, members of the board are an
a quandary.
The Indiana & Michigan Electric
Co. claims that under its contract
taken out with the board of works of
last year, il alone has exclusive right
to furnish the city'S electrical power,
not only for the 500 arc mentioned
in the contract proper, but all light
used by the city. If the present board
lets "A contract TO an outside company
it may have TO defend it's attitude in
the courts.
r A Bryan, president of the cleo
trio company, has said nothing that
would indicate what step would be
taken if his company was refused the
contract. A certain member of the
board, according to Pres. Morris, is
baking action either way on the
question by holding out his vote en-
tirely until each proposition is thresh-
ed out completely.
The board, he said, does not wish
to drag the city into an expensive
lawsuit, neither does 1t wish TO hand
the city a number Of lights for which
it's citizens are paying too much money
for the value of service received.
AS quickly as that can be threshed
out, a contract for all lights outside
of the several hundred arcs now be
ing furnished by the Indiana q Mich
igan Co., will be let

Police Think Tuesday Night Thefts
Fear Renewal of Old Trouble.

Car breaking and stealing from the
inside of loaded cars after they have
been sealed in the freight yards of the

effected. Despite the close watch
kept over the cars in the yards, one
was found Tuesday night in which all
evidence indicated the work of eXpe-

A car loaded with merchandise had
been entered and its contents were
scattered about the floor. Whether
there was anything missing could not
be determined Tuesday night, but at
ter investigation Wednesday morning
it is probable that a close guard Will
be kept i'm the future.
Another car was found in the yards
last night shortly after the first. on
which the seal had been broken but
where no damage had been done. Pa

GERMANS TROOPS BACK
IN ABANDONED CITIES
French Embassy Hears of Re-
occupancy of Towns 0ppO-
site Allies Right Wing.

WASHINGTON Sept. 2S.-That
the Germans have reoccupied three
towns opposite the French right wing
in Lorraine, was made clear when
the full text of an official statement
from the French war office was read
at the French embassy here today.
The official statement as given out in
Paris set forth that DOmevre, south
of BramOnt had been reOccupied by
the enemy. The embassy received a
statement. however, which contains
this phrase:
"On our right wing i'm Lorraine the
enemy have again passed the frontier
with several small columns He has
reOccupied DOmeVre. south OF Bra
mont, and NOmeny and Dime, north
of Nancy"
Further additional information in
the Paris statement was that the Ger
mans in the WOevre district have di-
rected their movements towards
Saint Baussant and Limey.
