Monday was the opening day for Dbl

Monday was the opening day for the
second semester. Report cards and
credit slips were given out. The stu
dents classified in accordance with
the new schedule and the irregular
students are making an effort to make
up the required back work this semes-
ter. There were 272 students enrolled
for high school work. 80 of these are
beginning Latin and 80 are beginning
German.
Superintendent Browning spoke to
the students at general assembly, con
graduating those who had been doing
a grade of work such as would give
them a place on the honor roll. He
complimented the girls in particular
on the fact that there were a greater
number of the girls with honor stand
ings than there were boys. Many Of
YOU" he said, referring to both boys
and girls, ARE not making the most of
the splendid opportunities you have as
some of your grades indicate. In order
to get an education you will need to
learn the first essential, that of hard
earnest work. You will have to deny
yourself of many Of the social pleas
ures and so-called good times. Hard
work was never known to kill any one
in this country, it is the fun that peo-
pie have between times that kill most
people. You can't afford to be found
loafing on the streets or wasting your
time at picture shows when you have
school work to do. Young men, you

public and If you poison your mind and

fumes of the cigarette or learning vile

Let us apply another test. January
2nd the Chicago student spectators
guessed that May wheat would be
worth $3.50 and July $1.19 or II cents
less than May. On the same day the
Minneapolis student spectators guess
ed that May wheat would sell for 1927
and July exactly the same. A differ
ence in the guess of the Chicago and
Minneapolis students of II cents for
July wheat. One of the groups made
a guess, probably both of them. On
January 22nd the Minneapolis guess
for May wheat vas $1.37; and for
July S1.35 and September s1.20; that
is that July would sell for 2 cents less
than May and September II cents less.
Chicago's guess for May was $1.43
and for July $1.35; a difference of Is
cents, and a difference as between
Minneapolis and Chicago in decline for
the month of JUNE of Is cts. Chicago
does not quote September. The next

fact IS hat both sides change their

Suppose the farmers should decide

provided especially for their informa-

it? He could not sell his option on the
chamber of commerce.; for that is a
perfect private monopoly, limited to its
selected members. He would have to
sell through a member commission
house, and he would have to sell an
option for 5000 bushels, no less allow
ed. At the present time if he were
well rated in Bradstreets he would
have TO put up as a cash margin per
haps only 10 cents per bushel or $500.
If not so rated the margin would prob
ably be 20 cents per bushel or 81, 900.
In doing so he might just as well kiss
the margin money good bye, as nine
tenths of our farmers who have tried
have learned, If not 80 ont of 100. How
many of our farmers would sell an
option now for 5000 bushels of wheat
to be delivered next September at
$1.20, and back 1t up as a guarantee
with $500 to $1,000. They do not want
the wheat; they want the margin.

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
ton of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our so
clal structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country. and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand.
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and a guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mena our clothes and burn

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di.
rection of cultured, clean and com.
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, SO that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity
