boy bought a third Of what remained
and gave her back two, and the third
bought half Of what she now had left

found that she had twelve apples re

The answer Is simple enough. From
the twelve apples remaining deduct
one, and eleven is the number she sold

had; Der number t$that time, there

The International Falls Daily Jour

reports the Fargo postof1ce will mail
out eighty carloads of mail order
during the next few weeks.
These catalogues are shipped by
freight to Fargo and then mailed out
from there. The only way that the
mail order houses can reach the buy
ers is by sending the catalogues and
circulars through the mail, as none
of the weekly and daily newspapers
will accept their advertisements. The
local merchants can meet mail order
prices, and~have a, cheaper and more
convenient means of reaching the
buying public by advertising in their
home newspapers.

If SKIN BREAKS

The moment you apply bold-sulphur
to an itching or broken out skin, the
itching stops and healing begins, says
a renowned dermatologist.
This remarkable sulp hur made into a
thick cream effects such prompt relief,
even in aggravated Eczema, that it is
never-ending source! of amazement to
physicians. T
For many years bold-sulphur has &C.
cupied a secure position in the treat
ment of cutaneous ernptions by reason
of its cooling, parasite destroying prop

to take it's place in relieving irritable

Immediately subdues the itching irrita-

it is often years later before any erup-
ton again manifests itself.
Any good druggist will supply an
ounce of bold.sulphur, which should be
applied to the affected parts like the
ordinary cold creams. It isn't unpleas-
ant and the prompt relief afforded is
very welcome, particu larly when the Ec-
zema is accompanied with torturous itch

Those who supported J. A. o.
Preus in the primaries before June
in. his desperate contest with Henry
Rines in the belief that if he reached
the office of auditor, there would be
some auditing done, were gratified,
although not surprised, when he
came out fiat against certifying for
payment accounts of newspaper clip
ping bureaus for clippings furnished
state officers. 1t would appear that
this practice of letting the state pay
for this sort of thing has grown up
as many other desirable practices
have grown up, about the capitol
Hereafter, except as regards the gov
ernor, state officials must pay for
their clippings out of their pockets.
"When I was insurance commits
sioner," said the new auditor, II
paid for newspaper clippings out of
my own money, and can see no rea-
son why other state officials should
not do the same.'
The auditor explained that as the
governor was not responsible to any,
body except himself as to what is
done with the contingent fund of
$4,000 appropriated each session for
his office by the legislature, that no
doubt, if the executive wished to use
any part of that fund for newspaper
clippings he could do so, as the audi
tors office, under the law, has moth
ing to do with that fund.

including Albion, to defeat the pro-
posed reorganization and leave all the
institutions as they now stand
The Tribune is stating the matter In
this way for the purpose of public in
formation and as timely illustration
of the difficulties found in carrying
out any new conception when there
are many interests to be affected in an
unknown way by the result. The
Tribune does not share in these appre-
tensions or these views, one reason
among others being that life is too
short to spend in manufacturing
alarms and in setting about to cir
cumvent their imaginary conse-
quences. Nevertheless these alarms
exist, and thus the education board
has not only the real and unavoidable
problems of it's work to compose, but
must encounter supposititious obsta-
cles as well and of such formidable
nature as now seriously threaten to
break the back of it's program
The board could not have adequate
ly measured, as no one else did, the
full extent of the geographical prob
lem that afflicts the state. The physic
al conditions are well enough known,
but the moral result of this separation
is scarcely appreciated until some
thing comes up like this education
reorganization, involving both senti-
mental and practical questions. The |
state cannot support two sets of edu-
cational institutions, one north and
one south, and does not even support |
one set effectually. Most all of the |
state activities are now centered in the |
south, for satisfactory reasons, and |
two educational institutions, whose
spheres are different and nowhere
overlap, are about all the north re-
ceives in direct returns from it's as
sessment of the general governmental
cost. II the state were united by con-
Eenient transportation it would make
10 great difference to the south thai
hese two institutions were in the
north, IN view of the preponderating
share of patronage the south receives
n every other direction. But as long

editorial column Of the Lewiston
Tribune; first, because the editor is ;
masterhand at writing pure, strons
English, and second because his rea
soning is sound his views we'll worth
knowing, and his tone dispassionate
and fair. The following exposition Of
the present educational situation in
Idaho is the best we have seen in re-
gard to matter that is so complicated
as to perplex the cIearest minds.
Obstacles That Beset the Educational
Scheme
The creation Of the state board of
education and appointment of highly
trained executive officer to organize
and conduct the institutions of public
instruction on broad, efficient and CO.
ordinated lines, seems in pretty fair
way to fail of It's mission, or at least
to leave the rest disconnected and with
out its allotted place in the general
scheme. The board has encountered
obstacles, local and general, within
and without the legislature, which
could scarcely have been foreseen or
provided against in proceeding with
the duties imposed upon it by law
The chief of these obstacles, we be-
lieve, is sectionalism, of sort aggra-
waited by the unique difficulties Idaho
I,l. u
parts. At present there are four edu-
cational institutions, two n the north
and two in the south. The two in the
north are concededly more important
than the two in the south, for reasons
which need not be here enquired into
The education board proposes to I
abandon the lesser of the two in the |
south and increase the functions of
the second proportionately. The con-
demned institution in the south natur-
ally objects to being abandoned, while
in the north the state university sees
danger in the proposition, as by build
ing up strong institution in the south
it fears its own field will be en-
croached upon, and it can spare none
of its own prestige and patronage.
The Lewiston State Normal has taken
no position in the matter at all, as far
tent to leave the business in the hands
of the authorities Lewiston could,
however, if it cared to, find the same
cause of apprehension in the new pol {
icy as Moscow does, but we think in
formed local opinion has no such APP {
However that may be, +;
there is a vague undercurrent of feel {
ing at the state capitol and elsewhere {
hat the proposed rearrangement is but S
.he opening wedge toward gradual &
.ransferral Of the educational struc- t
.ure from the north to the south-not S
hat the board or the legislature has t
my such intent, but that with the new h
policy once installed the rest will t
,ome naturally, through the prepon t
lerating patronage and power now re- t
iding in the south. In other words, t.
t is thought there is to be duplici,- |,
ion of the north's functions provided n
or the south, and with two-thirds of il
he state comprised in the south, the "
orth will soon deteriorate to a one e
bird rank and ultimate abandonment s.
having those fears in mind, the W
tate uniyersity's friends are said to be a
repairing a combination with antag Il
nists of the boards general policy, b.
