DENTAL INSPECTION MADE
y. IN DICKINSON SCHOOL

Dickinson is the third city in the
state to introduce Dental Inspection
in their public schools, Grafton and
Langdon are the others.
At the request of the school board
the dentists signing this report made
the inspection. This work was done
at the school houses and the inspec-
ton was not as thorough as it would
have been, under more favorable cir
cumstances and with more time. The
main idea was to find out how many
children needed filings, teeth ex-
tracted, cleaned or Strengthened. A
chart showing the condition of each
pupils mouth was made in duplicate.
One copy to go to the child's parents
and one to be kept in the school.
This chart shows the teeth as they
would appear to you if you stood di-
rectly in front of your child's mouth.
The teeth marked with numbers are
permanent or "second teeth" the let
tered ones are diciduous or "first
theeth." .m
The chart shows:
Condition of the mouth-Good-
Fair-Bad.
Abscesses-How Many?
Teeth need cleaning-Yes-No.A
Use Tooth Brush-Yes---No.
Any teeth filled-Yes-No.

Gates a cavity. Teeth marked "Ex"

Gates what the condition is in that
particular case. Only the more pro-
nounced cases of irregular teeth were
noted and whether these could be cor
rected could only be determined by
further examination.

only have me, I'd straighten up and
live different life

married my wife WATCHED me like a
hawk She got confidential with all
my old friends and tried to find out
all about what | had been doing the
years before she came to town. and
when she couldn't run anything down
on me she became imbued with the
belief that was very sly knave be-
sides being as wicked as had led her
to believe | was.
She is suspicious OF every move l
make, and it's getting on my nerves

NICKNAME STUCK TO SENATOR
quet by Which Missouri States
man Was Always Known.

Senator Barton, one of the two first
Missouri senators, was known as Lit
tie Red" He got the name when he
delivered a speech which made him
famous throughout the country
The senate chamber was crowded.
Barton had taken side against the
Jackson policies. His arraignment
and condemnation of the administra-
ton for years ranked as one of the
greatest speeches ever heard in the
senate. The audience became intense
ly excited. At the close, while peo-
pie were crowding out of the gallery,
there came mighty shout:
Hurrah for the little red!"
This was repeated again and again
IN the corridors of the capitol by the
Missouri frontiersman who had been
listener. When the man became
calm enough to explain he said the
original little red was a game
rooster he owned which could whip
any fighting cock matched against
him. When he heard Senator Bar.

crowd and bringing them down every

Barton went by the sobriquet of

Even Crabs Have Instinct

Everyone has heard of the homirs
instinct of birds and Of insects, but it
Is rather surprise to be told that
animals as low in the scale of nature
as crabs have a similar instinct. The
experiment has been tried in England
OF capturing crabs, marking them for
Identification, and releasing them long
distances from their homes. The
most interesting example was that of
a male and female captured together
IN trap and carefully marked and
then taken long distances away into
another county and released at differ.
ent places far apart from each other.
Later the two were caught together
again IN trap in their original home,
showing that they had not only re.
turned to their home, but had found
each other and had again mated The
homing instinct had enabled them tc
go from the county of Lincolnshire
back to their original home in York.

MAKE MONEY FROM SEAWEEL
Inhabitants Of the Island OF Guernse,
Have Farms" Regularly Aiiot-
ted to Them.

The strangest farms" are the sea
weed farms OF the island OF Guernsey
Held in common by all the farmers of
the neighborhood, a farmers coun
cil' allots to each man making appli
cation strip Of the seashore, and all
the seaweed that is cast up within
these limits belongs to him
Great powders mark the bcunds ries
of the farms. which are from geo to
600 yards of shore, and if any man
gathers seaweed from any other mans
farm or moves the powders to extend
his boundaries the council takes his
farm away from him and fines him be,
sides. The seaweed harvest is at its
height during the months OF July and
August, and all that man need pos.
sess to gather it is two-wheeled
cart and one of the sturdy Guernsey
ponies, a couple of long handled pitch
forks and a rake.
The seaweed or 'varech," as the
Guernsey people call it, is used as fer.
tlizer on the inland farms, or is sold
to manufacturing chemists, who ex-
tract iodine from it.
In the old days, but not now, the
great Guernsey harvest home" which
was held usually in May, at the con-
clusion of the winter season, was the
chief festival Of that quaint island
The last load was piled upon the carts,
and the men and women in holiday
dress marched at the head of their
carts with their ponies gayly bedecked
singing old sea songs and dancing to
the sound of the women's tambourines
From village to village they went until
darkness came, and then a huge bon
fire was lighted on the seashore and
the "varech" season was officially de.
clared at an end.
