N, o. CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS.

"a
s n. C. Macdonald, state superintenG-
in North Dakota, has just issued a
new map showing the location Of the
consolidated schools in the state. II
liz the first consolidated school map
aver issued in the state showing the
distinction between the town and the
open country consolidated schools.
There are now 1870 consolidated
schools in the state, Of which 115 are
town and seventy-lve open country
schools. These are located in forty
three of the fifty counties and forty
eight new ones were established in
1918 with indications of about sixty
for 1914
The school people OF North Dakota
take pride in the fact that there are
more consolidated schools in North
Dakota than in Minnesota and the
growth during 1918 vas more rapid
than in the gopher state.
ToWner county leads all others in
the state, having fifteen Of the 100
consolidated schools. Cavalier, an ad-
Joining county, is second and Rolette
county, on the other side Of Towner,
is third, Ramsey is fourth, and Cass
fifth. The seven backward counties
are Pembina, the Oldest county in the
state, Sargent, Burke. Mcintosh,
Wells, Dunn, Griggs.
The counties having only one of the
consolidated schools are Dickey, Nor
ton, the largest county in the state,
Sheridan and Mercer. By the end Of
1914 it is expected every one Of the
fifty counties in the state will have
consolidated schools and that the
gains this year will be largely in the
counties now having smaller numbers.

WHY 90 FAT WOMEN TRY
TO LOOK LIKE SYLPHS2

Grace Margaret Gould, fashion edi-
tor in the Woman's Home Companion,
writes about limitation Versus Indi-
viduality." She makes the point that
individuality is really what counts in
dress and in charm. 1t is being your
self at your best, not striving to copy
what is best in some one entirely diff
ferent. She writes in part:
Every blessed one of us always
wants to look exactly as we never
can look. SO we initiate some other.
woman, and invariably she is u d.
rect opposite.
stance, who is always yearning to be
a sylph. She deceives herself into
believing that she will actually look
like a sylph If she only wears the
same sort Of clothes that her sylphlike
neighbor wears. The trouble Is that,
no matter how hard she tries or What
agonies she endures, she is never able
to make anything out of herself but
a fat sylph. And the irony of this
is too cruel to dwell upon.
Then there is the lean woman,
whose arms resemble broom handles
and whose scrawny neck is never fit
to be seen. She feels that In a big
measure it is the dress that makes her
plump friend across the way look SO
attractive and seem so CHEEKY, so she
decides to copy the dress, with the ex-
p%ectation Of gaining her neighbours
charm.
1.-THE dumpy woman, too, has a hope
that she can look taller and really
have a commanding air of style'if she
only follows the dress example of her
tall, stately, stylish sister.
1T is the same way with the doWdy
woman, the clumsy woman, the home-
ly woman, the long-throat like
w~oman-they all reason alike. ..
Each n forgets that while she
may copy a dress, she cannot copy. the
personality hat gives that dress it's
fit and grace and style. She does not
stop to reason out that to initiate is
to be intellectually lazy. 1T is letting
that stylish woman she so envies and
admires do her thinking for her, and
the result of that is disastrous. That
self-same stylish woman is not think
ing for her, but for herself" .

Plerre.-The circle at the head Of
the ballot having been abolished by
law, the voters Of South Dakota are
for the first time called upon to place
a cross in the square beside the name
of every candidate for whom they wish
to vote. 1t is not expected that much
confusion will result from the elimi-
nation Of the party circle.
Under the old law the use Of the
circle was optional. being only for
those who wished to vote a straight
ticket. To make sure of casting a le-
gal ballot a large portion Of the vot-
ers in former elections have voted by
making a mark before the name Of
each candidate Of their choice and
have let the party circle severely
alone.
1t is not believed, therefore, that
the circle Will be greatly missed. al
though the man who has always voted
a straight party ticket Will find that it
will take him a little longer to mark
his ballot.

The ailment that brought the waltz
and the two-step to their lingering
death was m%onotony. Each had N
one step, one tempo, and that is not
enough. So the dances shriveled up

few years ago the world entered upon

artificial conventions, and the people

Windbreak Ideas,

Observation-Disclosures for fruit
the fruit, according to Prof. N. Z.
Hansen, who answers a query from a
Jerauld county farmer. He states:
Fruit trees are usually not bene-
fitted by having a windbreak on all
sides unless a considerable distance
hurt by too much protection or by
the roots of the forest trees taking all
the moisture that should go to the
fruit. In other words, it is good to
break the force Of the wind, but the
w%indbreak must be a considerable dis
lance away. A good windbreak would
be a row of plum seedlings, since they
are inclined to be low and bushy and
stop the severe wind sweep. An open
space may be left on the north and
west at least six rods, and On the out
side Of that may be planted a row or
two of some windbreak such as the
Siberian Caragana, Russian Olive, or
Ural Willow, all of which tend strong
ly to stop the drifting snow that set
ties in the open space. This is call
ed a snow trap AS to whether there
should be a windbreak on the south
is a disputed question. In regions X
posed to the southwest winds, some
shelter of this kind would check excess
siye evaporation. Som experienced
orchardists believe that no windbreak
at all for orchards is best, at least in
an orchard of any size. In other
words, that the best windbreak for an
apple orchard is another row Of apple
trees, especially of some extra hardy
variety like the Duchess or Hibernal
apple, or Florence crab"
