HEART RIVER
RISES 50 INCHES
Dixie Built by Reform School Boys
Has Gone Out.

When the Heart river raised g
inches in three hours yesterday morn
ing water cut through thestemporary
dixie put in by the sSOf& the reform
school, and has washed&out a channel
around the south end of the dam
about twenty-five feet wide.
The steel dam itself and the con-
crete abutments have not been dam
aged any further than was done a
year ago during the June cloudburst,
and the only damage is to the dixie.
While the water is high It will be i'm
possible to tell how great a hole has
been cut around the dam but it is
believed that the rip rap work, the
rocks and several thousand bags Of
sand with which the hole was filled
last spring by the reform school crew
will stand and will mean but a COM
paratively small amount of work will
be necessary to rebuild this.
President John f. Sullivan of the
Country club this afternoon inspect
ed the dam and asserted that as soon
as the water recedes work will be
started putting in a pile dixie. As
a result it is almost certain that
boating and bathing will still be in.
sured for the Chautauqua season.
The Country club directors declared
that the present mishap to the dam
will make no difference in their plans.
They will go right ahead with the
club house building and will see to it
that the DAM repaired and in such
a manner that it will stay.
ig Heaviest Rainfall
While the rainfall Of the past
twenty-four hours was not as bad as
last June, it has been general through
out the western part of North Da-
kota. The instruments at the I'm
tied States farm this morning show
ed that in the tewnty-four hours up
10 7:30 a. m. the rainfall was 2.21
This is abnormal but does
not compare with the 4.62 inches on
June Is, 1914.
Long distance calls to Dickinson,
Gladstone, Hebron, Glen VI
lin, New Salem, .Killdeer and Mott,
show that the same amount of rain

trough the night. ". Vi ~

Work for State Wards.
(Rutland Herald.)

1t is interesting to learn that out
door work is to be undertaken ON
more or less extensive scale with the
convlcts at the state prison IN Wind
sor. The state has bought the Arthur
Hunter farm in Windsor. The property
will come under the direction of Su-
perintendent Walker of the prison, and
the operation will be confined almost
wholly to the inmates of the institu-
ton. 1t is probable that the main
profit of the farm will be derived
from crop raising, but on the property
are !, 200 cords of hard wood and 49,
600 feet of hemlock, so that lumber
ing operations may be conducted in
the winter season when the arabic land
does not demand attention.-Brattle
boro Reformer.
This movement for outdoor work for
state wards is among the important
developments of Vermont s system of
corrective and reformatory institu-
tions, and the result is likely to make
an Improvement in the morale as well
as the financial standing thereof.
The contract system of employment
has the great disadvantage of offering
no personal inducement to the state S
prison inmates for doing good work );
| neither does any adequate profit re
turn to the state for their labor.
The gradual acquisition of agrieul-
tural lands by the state may go a long
way toward settling the problem of
employing longtime prisoners profit
ably to the state, and it should be ad-
/ justed to a basis where at least part
| of the inmate s earnings should be set
apart for the use of his family or foI
I his own use when discharged.
/ The practical financial benefit, OF
course, comes in the production OF
food for the consumption of the insti
tuition and in this benefit the inmates
should not only share in general way
but in a personal way as well. Give 8
man a wage interest in what he does
and he will be better workman.

At the Library
War Books

The first few months of the great
war saw the appearance of multi
tude of publications dealing with the
causes and origins of the catastrophe.
The library placed n few of these
books on its shelves seeking to give
its patrons the most authoritative
presentations of the various points of
view.
Now the deluge is beginning of
books by war correspondents, of snap
shots by all sorts of persons who have
spent q few days or weeks somewhere
| near the various armies These books
are of little value except as gossip, but
a few of the best have been placed on
the library shelves. The glory of the
war correspondent has passed. When
| the operations arc SO gigantic that
divisional commanders are mere pieces
on the chess board, the stray civilia n
knows little of what is going on, even
though he may be loosely attached to
some division. One visitor naively sug-
gested TO the German Crown Prince
| that he would like to see battle. The
reply to the suggestion seemed to indi-
cate that battles like children are
heard, not seen Operations are directed
by telephone, telegraph and wireless,

What CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every DAY.
A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by Cnriching the blood
and SO render the system better
able withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
Scots Emulsion should always be
taken for colds, and it does more
builds strength to prevent sickness.
SCOTS Emulsion contains Natures
rare strength building fats, so skillfully
blended that the blood profits from
every drop. It is free from harmful
drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores

Santa Claus is a little fat old man
who lives just across from the North
Pole and doesn t do thing from one
year s end TO the other but make toys
for good little children On the day
before Christmas he gathers these toys
together and starts out to deliver them
TO children who have attended Sunday
school regularly ever since December
lst.
Santa Claus does not use an automo-
mobile, for fear that he might have a
puncture and disappoint some little boy
or girl. He uses reindeer instead, for
the reindeer is not liable TO run out of
gasolene and leave Santa Claus strand
cd on the roof of some house. II they
ever make an automobile which viii

Once in a while Santa Claus finds
time TO be at the Christmas tree at the
church in false whiskers and a cotton
batten stomach, but there are so many
more children to bring presents to now
than there used to be that it keeps him
busy trotting up and down chimneys
practically every minute Some chill
dren sit up and wait for Santa Claus
to come down the chimney. but the
Sand Man always gets ahead of him.
| Some people say there is no Santa

| Whenever anybody tells them that then
father is Santa Claus, they look at
! father s stomach and smooth chin and
! laugh. Besides, they know that father
couldn t get down a chimney with his
long legs without using ladder and a
rope. just because nobody ever caught
Santa Claus in the act of filing the
stockings is no sign that he didn t dc
it, and besides, he always puts the
right present in the right stocking
which proves it..

than her daily labor and an actual net
