Burns, charged with numbering Henry
jSsexse, 9 Mckenzie county homestead
er. had fifteen minutes Of freedom 'be
tween arrests" as a result Of his OBJ
lection to trial on the charge made by
the Mckenzie county authorities.
Burns was arrested, charged with
the murder Of Sexse, such charge be-
ing based o nthe finding of a body
which was later identified as the re-
mains of another man. Shortly there
after, another body this time positive

was dismissed. Fifteen minutes later
Burns was again in custody on the
new murder charge.

WEBSTER. HIGH
SCHOOL NOTES

At our last meeting of the high.
school literary society, the regular
program was postponed because some
Of the members were unprepared, and
instead a program with lanter slides
was arranged. Chester Swain told
the Story Of Cinderella, and then the
whole story was visualized on the
screen. After that the colored views
Of Yellowstone National Park were
shown while Mr.. Torvend gave the
lecture. Our magic lanter is proving
very successful, and when more slides
are procured Supt. Torvend plans on
giving entertainments in the hall for
the older people.
There will be a regular meeting Of
the literary society next Friday, the
Both.
Mr.. w. E. Goozee visited school last
week and Misses Bertha Garske and
Cora Chisholm former graduates were
pleasant callers this week.
A special effort will be made by
the Webster high school this fall to
arrange work and classes suitable to
those who have neglected their earlier
education, or those who have not had
the opportunity to secure an elemen-
tary education. This applies to any
boy or girl on the farm between the
ages Of 16 and 25. The work will be

PRESS NOTICE.

H" 'tHtE-T.
The war in Europe is proving a big
boon to postal savings in this country.
From the very day hostilities opened
across seas postal-savings receipts be-
gan to increase by leaps and bounds
and Withdrawals fell off, a result quite
contrary to the prediction of many
well-informed persons who, in their
imagination, saw lines of feverish de-
positors at post-office pay windows
anxious to again return their saw
ings to the bootleg and body-belt de-
positories whence they came before
intrusted to Uncle Sam. But the fore
casters failed to reckon on the abso-
lutte confidence of the American citizen
regardless of the flag that first met
his eyes, in the ability and purpose Of
the government to carry out it's
obligations, not only among the ma
lions of the earth, but with the hum
blest citizen Of land.
Two important results have follow
ed; thousands of people, largely of
foreign birth, accustomed to send their
savings abroad, are now patrons of
u postal.savings system and enor-
nous sums of actual cash have been
released for comercial uses among our
own people at a time when need for
every available dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal savings in the
United States has been steady and
healthy and the system has filled an
important gap between the tin-can de-
pository and the factory paymaster.
On July 1, when affairs were running
smoothly here and abroad and the
transmission of money across the
Atlantic was safe and expenditious,
there was approximately $4,000, 900
postal savings standing to the credit
of about $4,000 depositors. Since
then over $10,0o0,0o0 of deposits have
been added the number of depositors
has increased enormously. This un-
p%recedented gain is the more striking
when it is considered that the net
gain in the last three months is larger
than the gain for the entire fiscal year
1914. Scores of officials have done
more postal-savings business since the
war has been going on than was done
by them during the previous existence
Of the service. The increases are con-
fined to no special localities, but have
been felt in every nook and corner of
the country. New York City alone
made a gain in September of more
than a million, while Brooklyn showed
a relatively big increase. Chicago re-
ported a large gain in the past three
months than for the previous twelve
months. More than7 700 new accounts
were opened during the period, bring
ing the number of depositors in that
city up to over $1,000.
The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
duties Of the system, but has brought
up many new an interesting problems
which have called for the careful per-
sonal consideration of Postmaster
General Burleson and Governor Dock
cry, Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral. But their task has been tighten
ed somewhat by the promptness Of de-
pository banks in furnishing add
tional security to meet the abnormal
deposits. A number of the very larg-
est banks in the country, which have
heretofore declined to qualify as de-
positories for p~ostal-savings funds,
are now among the eager applicants
for them.

TWO HARBoRs HERE TOMORROW
Final Arrangements Made for Two
Game Series With Athletics

Final arrangements were complet-
ed yesterday for the basketball games
to be played between the Bemidji
Athletics and the Two Harbors five.
That the Bemidji team will fall easy
victims to the skill of the head of
the lakes five is the opinion of the
Two Harbors press, but local rooters
who have watched the work of the
athletes throughout the season show
as much confidence in the local quint,
but predict two fast games. Peck,
who has been out of play because
of an injured hip, was unable to re-
sist the temptation of reporting for
practice and was on the job again
last evening, although not entirely
recovered from his injury. Julius Bes-
tul will not play Saturday evening,
as he accompanies the high school

DISTRICT COURT BUSY
Peterson Case Drawing Near Close
Motion For Dismissal Denied By
Judge Stanton This Morning
ARGUE FITZPATRICK MOTION

Tomorrow is likely to see the close
of the Emil Peterson damage salt
now on trial before Judge C. w.
Stanton in district court, the defen-
dants testimony having been practical
ly completed late this afternoon. A
motion this morning to have the case
dismissed following the completion Of
the plaintiffs case was denied by
Judge Stanton.
AS the case now stands Peteson's
claims are against the former viii
lage council of Baudette only, a mo-
tion to have suit against G. r. Mid
dleton, Halver Robbesrtad, Gilbert
Roen and John Norquist dropped
having been granted by Judge Stan
ton yesterday. In his COM
plant Peterson asked $24,-
900 damages which he alleges were
done to his character and business
by a malicious prosecution in 1911,
at the time he was, engaged in
building a bridge for the village of
Baudette. He was and is now a con-
tractor and builder.
George Edgerton, formerly assist
ant attorney general, and R. G. o.
Malley, both lawyers of St. Paul were
in Bemidji today for the purpose Of
arguing motions in the Fitzpatrick
divorce case, which was tried by
Judge Stanton in st. Paul several
months ago. Mr.. 80: Fitzpatrick is a
wealthy st. Paul lawyer and both .Ne

divorce was granted and Mrs. Fitz-
patriot given $4,000. The decision
was not satisfactory to either party
and the motion today was made be-
cause of this fact. ..-. ..~, ...> ..

TELLS OF DYER'S EFFORTS
Minneapolis Tribune Comments On
Recommendations of Bemidji Man
Relative to Shortening Subjects
BOTH DESERVING OF FAME

If the 100000 school children of
Minneapolis knew the good things
being planned for them by two of
the states educators, they would rise
in one harmonious, overwhelming,
sky-rattling demand for the erection
of two more monuments to distin-
guished public service. The two
men thus threatened with dmmortal
fame and the thanks of a grateful
people are T. A. Erickson, rural
school specialist of the uniyersty's
department of agriculture, and w. p.
Dyer, superintendent, of schools, Be-
midi, says the Minneapolis Tribune.
Mr.. Erickson seems destined to go
down in history as the man who gave
the solar plexus blow to cube root,
the chloroform to partial payments
and the boot to complex fractions
so far as their place in the school
curriculum is concerned. Mr.. Dyer
faces similar destiny as the man
who put the kibosh on useless mem
orizing of city names and locations
on, maps and otherwise emancipated
the youth Of the state from the
clutches of "jografy."
:, All this. is but "a prelude to the
statement that preliminary reports
have been, issued of progress being
made by the committee on reorgani-
zation of the elementary course of
study, which was appointed a. year
ago by the department of superint-
endence of the Minnesota Education
al association. This department will
hold it's annual spring session at the
university March .26 to 49,, when
final reports from the committee will
be made.
Cube root, that monster of COM
plexity which has been the bane Of
school youth and many, of their
teachers for generations, is to go into
the discard into the Jim Corbett
class. 1t has no place in the elemen-
tary school, says Mr.. Erickson; it has
done its share Of havoc, wrought it's
meed of dismay and heartburning.
It's day is done. No more will chill
dren in the early teens rave in the
delirium of night mare about 'sthe
cube of the first plus two times the
square of the first by the second, :"
etc., till daybreak. OF course, this
future is only predicted, the de-
partment of superintendance, COM
posed, mainly, of city superintend-
ents of the state, may not approve the
report.
Here is what Mr.. Dyer is doing.
He also has sounded teaching senti-
ment of the state. He would lessen
greatly the memory work in geo.
graphy. One of his conclusions is
that too many cities are taught to
the youthful geography student. In
one textbook much used in Minneso-
ia he counted references to 465 diff
ferent cities, outside of many others
that were named on maps. He sug-
gests that 160 cities should be q
maximum for elementary pupils, dis
tributed as follows: Forty in North
America, and the capitals of the
states as we'll; 10 in South America,
30 in Europe, 10 in Asia, 6 in Africa,

4 in Australia and Oceanica. He
would ignore rhetorical and fanci-
full names" as F'The Queen of the
Adriatic. He would standardize
geography teaching in Minnesota by
simplifying it. .,

BULLETIN TELLS OF
ALASKA CONDITIONS
Shows That There Are 100000
Square Miles of Area on Which
There Are Possibilities of Farming
POPULATION NOW ONLY $4,000
Four Experimental Stations Located
There Are All Successful In Rails
ing Wheat, Oats and Other Crops

From Congressman C. fl. Tavenner.
Washington February 26-Did
you know:
That Seattle, WASH, is nearer
Maine than it is to the extreme west
ern point of Alaska?
That the mean annual tempera-
ture of Sitka, Alaska, is about the
same as that of Washington, D. G.
That Alaska has numerous deep,
land locked, ice-free harbors, and a
coast line $4,000 miles long?
That there are 5000 miles of ma
vigable rivers in Alaska, and that
the present population Of that vast
domain is now but $4,000?
These are facts brought out by
the latest bulletin of the Department
of Agriculture concerning Alaska.
The bulletins chief purpose is to dis
cuss the agriculture possibilities Of
the territory which Uncle Sam is
about to open up by construction of
a government railroad.
The new bulletin describes the
extent of this wonderful country It's
mountains, it's climate, and it's soils.
You can get this bulletin by writing
to the Department. The bulletin is
No. SO.
There are great possibilities for
farming in Alaska, but the Depart
ment pointS out some of the dangers
that must be avoided and some IF
the disappointments that will meet
those who seek Alaska with too en-
thusiastic a spirit.
There are about 100000 square
miles of area on which there are
possibilities for farming and graz
ing, according to the bulletin. The
larger part of this area Us in the in
tertor, in the Yukon drainage basin.
Along the Coast the climate is very
mild, but the arabic land is scarce
because of the proximity of the
mountains to the shore. Homestead
ers are allowed 800 acres free under
the usual requirements, but the De-
partments warns that little of AL
aska has as yet been surveyed, and
it will be impossible to get title to
homesteads until surveys are made.
AS the population increases a mar
ket for farm products will be de-
veloped in Alaska. In fact, a good
market exists today, since many of
the vegetables consumed in Alaska
are imported from the United States.
Currants, raspberries, 'gooseberries,
Strawberries, blueberries and cram
berries are plentiful in Alaska in
the wild state, indicating the pos
sibility of the development of small
fruit growing. The Department has
four experiment stations in Alaska,
and has never failed to grow mat'1r-
ed crops of wheat, oats, rye, barley,
potatoes and many other vegetables.
Chicken raising is all proving feas
ible.
But winters are long and cold.
Homesteaders must build frost proof
buildings. Travel in summer is vir-
tually impossible until corduroy
road shall have been built, because
the frost never entirely leaves the
ground, but continues to rise to the
surface all through the summer,
making the black soil like muck.
Until roads are built, farms should
be located close to navigable water.
The swampy character of the ground
almost everywhere in Alaska re-
suits in great swarms of MOSQUITOES
and gnats which are a great worry
to settlers.
