AROUND THE STATE

Langdon, Dec. 4.-Duncan Nc
Donald, whose farm is in the vi
cinity Of Iona, lost ten head of
horses and a young colt when his
barn burned to the ground in a
fire that was well under way
when discovered.
Fargo, Dec. 4.-Following the
recommendations of the teachers
committee, the board Of educa-
ton has voted to re-instate cor
poral punishment in the schools
of the city. Corporal punish
ment was barred a little more
than a month ago. The report
of the committee said the aboli-
ton has been detrimental to
discipline.
Valley City, Dec. 4.-As little
Marguerite Jacobson, the 6-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwin Jacobson, was going home
from school, she got her foot fast
in the frogs of the railroad track
and could not extricate it while
the switch-engine was coming
towards her. Her cries attract
ed the attention of a passing boy,
Harry Olson, who ran to her and
unbuttoned her shoe, releasing
her foot, taking the shoe out
later, while the frightened little
miss hurried home.
Devils Lake, Dec. 4.-The Tur-
tie Mountains have more snow
this season than has been seen
in years there. AS much as
three feet is found on the level.
A very peculiar fact, according
to Deputy Fish Commissioner
ALI. Eastgate, who is in charge
of the fish hatchery in Rollette
county, is that the ground re-
mains practically unfrozen. The
snow came before there had been
sufficient cold weather to freeze
the ground and there is.a pos
.sibility that the thick blanket
WI WIN protert mother earth to a
considerable extent.

mer, a number of the young fel-
lows in the vicinity of MoWbray

newlyweds at the Perry farm just
southwest of Mowbrav, and pro
ceeded to make their wants
known. Mr.. Kremer complied

with their requests and gave
them some money. The party
then left the house. They re-
turned in a short time, however,
and demanded admittance to the
house, which was refused, and
then the door was broken down
and the crowd entered the house.
They proceeded to upset a num-
ber of household articles and
broke UP a number of presents,
which had been given to Mrs.
Kremer. This was carrying the
affair a little too far and a COM
plant was sworn out befor JUS
tice at Hanna for the arrest of all
the offenders.
Wilton, Dec. 4.-Lignite mine
owners of North Dakota are do
ing an immense business this
fall. The Washburn Ignite
Coal company, which operates
the largest Ignite coal mine in
the west, is running full time,
with a daily output Of l,200 tons.
Indications are that the Wilton
mine will this year surpass the
annual output of 100000 tons for
last season. Aside from the do
mestic consumption of native
fuel, large orders are being re-
ceived from mills, power houses,
state institutions and railroads
all over the state. The amicable
adjustment of the Ignite coal
rates during the summer has in
a great measure made it possible
for the Ignite coal mines of
North Dakota to compete with
eastern coal operators and it is
safe to predict a record-breakine
output for the Ignite mines of
the state.

COUNTY sCHCOL NOTES.
Notes From the County Supc,intend-
ent of Schools.

Last week the county superin.
tendent visited all the schools in
Selz. Hague and Odessa districts.
We were very pleasantly sur.
prised to find the schools in much
better condition than expected.
Some excellent work is being
done in this part of the county.
This week the superintendent ex-
poets to visit all those schools in
Emmonsbure, Glanavon, Union
and Winona that he has not been
able to call upon this year.
The schools of Braddock have
been closed on account of trouble
with the furnace. This is unfor-
tunate ior Mr.. Mayer-Oakes has
more than enough to do to bring
the school up to standard with
out losing 2 weeks time. The
Braddock schools are doing ex-
cellent work this year.
Friday, Nov. 9th, the teachers
of Union and Bakker school dis
tricts met at the Westfield school
and organized a local teachers
association. Nearly all the teach
ers of the locality we're present.
1t was the pleasure of the super
intendent to be present and we
wish to voice a very hearty ap-
proval of the movement. A
great amount of good can come
from an organization of this kind,
both to the community and to
the teachers.
The object of the organization
will be to create a social and ed
ucational center for the teachers
and to aeitate for library books,
compulsory attendance, consol.
ldation, etc. The Reading Circle
Work will be taken up systemat-
ically and a thorough study and
discussion made of the most i'm
portant topics of theoretical and
practical education. School pro-
grams will be afrangad and it is
hoped that play will be staged
in which teachers will take the
leading parts. The organization
will endeavor to manage the Ly-
ceum course for one or two
points in the south end of the
county.
Emmons county is far behind
in this line of educational work
and it is sincerely hoped that this
movement will extend into all
parts of our county. 1t gives an
excellent opportunity for teach
ers, school boards and superin-
tendent to get together for mutu-
al benefit.
Chester Parks, of Moffit, sent
in his credits for an eiehth-erade
diploma this week. We wish
that any pupils having sufficient
credits for common school diplo.

portrayed in this work.

Our school has recently begun
the practice of having fire drills
and we think they are fine, but
don't ask Miss kivley about
their good qualities because one
can't tell the sequence, for the
fire gong seems to make her very
nervous for some reason or
other.
We are glad our cripple, Wen
delin, is able to walk without
crutches this week.

opportune.
Wilson's wise policies have proven
good. and we're better fitted to secure
the worthy results Mr.. Bryan aimed
for than were Mr.. Bryan's policies.

why 1t will be q deathblow to him

Mr.. Bryan meant well in expressing
the views he held in regard to pro-
noting peace. but Mr.. Wilson's firm
ness In the wise stand he took IL now
fully vindicated. We believe that the
recent developments will b an eye
opener to Mr.. Bryan. bue we have no
hope that these will affect for good

ought everybody to be that We haven't

In closing let me say that President
Wilson's birth and training In a Chris
