PRES. M'fARLAND .
BACK FROM EAST

President. George A. Mcfarland re-
turned to his home last evening after
three weeks business trip in the
east on matters pertaining to the Nor
NAL school. Mr.. Mcfarland attended
the meeting of the presidents of the
State Normal school in the central
states, held at Chicago and at which
about forty presidents were in attend
ance. ~"
At Richmond, Va, President McFar-
land attended the meetings of the De-
partment of Superintendance of the
National Educational Association. He
reports that all eastern points were
visited by inclement weather and
storms and that press reports of the
bad weather We're not exaggerated.
At the Normal school this morning,
Mr.. Mcfarland was welcomed back by
the students with the school yell at the
general exercises, after which he told
of the various meetings he had attend
ed. In his address, Mr.. Mcfarland
made special mention of the work of
Supt. Cora Wilson Stewart, of Rowan
County, Kentucky, one, Of the leading
speakers at the Richmond meeting.
Miss Stewart is the. founder of the
"moonshine" schools of her state,
!swherein the teachers of her county
I have volunteered their services to con.
duct evening schools as we'll as day
schools in an attempt to eradicate the
illiteracy, which before the plan was
in vogue extended as high as thirty
and forty per cent.
People of all ages, old and young,
are enrolled in these schools and dur.
ing the first year something like 1900
attended the night schools in the coun.
ty. This number rose to 1900 during
the second year and to $500 during
the third year Of the experiment.
Miss Stewart has practically realiz
her ambition to wipe out the illiteracy
of her county.
Mr.. Mcfarland reports that the
eastern meetings were badly handi
capped by the extreme cold weather
for that latitude and the lack Of pre-
paration for such weather.

''N0W I'VE GOT
YOUR GOAT" IN
THE CONTEST

School children look wise as they
shout to each other, Now I've got
your goat" the meaning in plain Ian
quage is: 1--WE got more votes for
the gold contest than you have"
Sleeping or waking, in day or night
dreams, those prizes dance before the
vision Of Valley City people. Hundreds
are already building air castles about
winning the first award, and the boys
and girls are hus.ling every spare mo-
ment for those cash checks, getting
lots of them, too. ..... IT,
While many are working in the
open, knowing that it pays to adver-
tise, others are making a rubber
heel" campaign and by the smiles they
wear, confidence radiates the fact of
many contestant. ..-
Either of the Times Record Gold
Coin away ds is enough to stimulate en-
thusiastis, competition. The chase be-
gins at home; father and mother are
urged to buy where the cash checks
or receipts count. Then aunts, uncles,
and cousins are solicited and the cir
Gle of friends and acquaintances are
attacked, and by that time the business
snirit has been aroused and the hust-
ling solicitor of cash checks becomes
a salesman and goes after them like a
drummer for orders.
Some people are picking up the
lunches found in stories like this one,
and getting wise to methods that they
had not thought of before.
Glad Of it; 90 to it if the Times Re-
cord hints will help you take advan-
tage of them.

the state Championship, will compete
in the tournament of middlewestern

team to the tournament have already
been subscribed by local business
men, and the rest will be forthcoming
before the players leave this after
noon, over the Northern Pacific.
Six men and Coach MacLean will

Hugh MacLean.
The boys are still in good condition
and will be in perfect form to meet
their opponents when the tournament
opens according to Coach MacLean.
They are confident of their ability and
feel that, since they can hardly run up
against tougher propositions than they
have been over coming all season, they
will give a favorable account of them
selves. RI. II y. .;x
