COURSES MUST NOT
Be DUPLICATED
STATE BOARD OF REGENTS WILL
SEE THAT EDUCATIONAL IN
SITUATIONS WILL CONFINE
THEIR ACTIVITIES WITHIN
PRESCRIBED LIMITS.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 8. - The
State Board of Regents is in session
here. 1t is the second meeting of the
board and large number of the heads
of the educational institutions of
North Dakota are in attendance to dis
cuss matters relating to their schools.
Committees of the board, accompan-
led by the secretary, have visited each
state school since the last meeting and
considerable information relative to
the physical properties and the bust
ness methods Of the different institu-
tons has been obtained. This will be
useful in the effort of the board to Gre
ate a uniform system of reports and
accounts.
On the recent tour of the state moth
ing was done along educational lines
and it is presumed that all matters Of
that nature will be left until a COM
missioner of education is selected. As
the former boards Of each school Sc
lected the heads of the institutions and
the members of the faculty, it is not
likely that there will be any radical
changes during the coming scholastic
year. An educational expert may be
selected soon to make survey of the
different state schools. His report will
show the efficiency of the members of
the faculty, the maximum number Of
hours each class room is used, the rel
alive value of each building for edu-
cational purposes. His report may
lead to a Redistribution of some Of
the institutional work to secure the
greatest possible results from the
present existing conditions.
The members of the board are APP
parently greatly in earnest in their eff
forts to give the people of the state
as nearly as possible 100 cents on the
dollar for the money spent for educa-
tional purposes in North Dakota. If
the future commissioner of education
should find there is needless duplica-
ton in the different institutions, the
board will no doubt eliminate it in a
prompt and decisive manner. There
seems to be a disposition on the part
of the members to insist upon each
institution combining it's activities with
in the prescribed limits of the law
creating it.

An Early Mouse River Dam.

The writer visited an old historic
spot along the Mouse river on the VIM.
Z Hecker farm Sunday, nine miles
southeast of the city. Nearly twenty
years ago, Albert Hay owned por-
ton of what is now the Hecker farm
and he conceived the idea that by dam
ming up the Mouse river, he might ir-
rigate few hundred acres of the val
lev land. He built large dam across
the river, dragging in an immense
number of great boulders and logs.
The dam wasn't success for the first
flood washed it out. About half of the
dam remains.

GUEST AT HOTEL ON UNDRESS
PARADE

Wyndmere Pioneer: Many of our
citizens very near became convinced
Tuesday morning that the days of
Adam and the palm leaf were really
coming back in vogue when man
appeared on the depot platform clad
in his birthday clothes plus pair of
pants which were facing the park in
stead of main street. He was Alfred
niger, registered at the Hotel Wynd-
mere from Max, this state, and bound
for Fergus Falls. Having failed to
answer the call given him he awoke
just in time to see the N. P. pull in
and without whistling for crossings,
stopping for water, paying his hotel
bill or any further ceremonies, he hit
the dirt for the N. P. with his shirt
and other wearing apparel Tapping
in the breeze as though strung out
behind Buick six-and he made it.,
much to the entertainment of the on
lockers.

LOCATION OF THE SILO.

The silo should be located close to
the animals that are to be fed from it.
Twelve cows fed 40 pounds day will
need about a quarter of a ton daily. It
should not be moved any farther than
necessary. The silo should also be in
a place convenient for filling. The
silo inside the barn takes up great
deal of room and also gives off a good
deal of odor that will faint the milk.
1t is also inconvenient to fill

EARTH ENOUGH FOR GREAT CHINESE WALL
German Statistician Says TeutOns Have Excavated
 This Much in Trenches

Berlin, December 5.-Some genius for figures, with plenty of time at his dis posal, has estimated that the German soldiers who have had to bear the bur den of trench digging since the begin ming of the war, have excavated a quantity of earth which in cubic feet is equivalent to the great wall of China. He arrives at his conclusion in the following way:
 The great wall is 2450 kilometers long, 16.5 meters high, s meters wide at the bottom and meters wide at the top. The German lines in April extended $50 kilometers in the west and about 1900 kilometers in the east Behind these foremost lines, however, extend secondary and in most cases third or fourth lines, all connected up by miles of 'laufgraben" or commu- nication trenches.
 Since April the German positions have repeatedly changed, necessitating the construction of new trenches. Each trench is usually from six or seven to a dozen feet in depth and little nar- rower. In connection with each one are countless underground shelters. Taken altogether, the estimator be- lieves the trench digging record of the German soldiers in IA months is quite on par with the decade-1ong record of the Chinese.

 There are exhibited few of the food substitutes now in use but the exposi- ton is mainly devoted to articles of household use that have come to re- place all the copper and nickel ware hat has had to be turned in for am intuition purposes. Thus there are common iron pipes. tastefully gilded, to take the place or brass curtain poles. There are vessels and receptacles of all sizes made of material called "Serpentine" which is found in great quantities near Dresden. available instead of the copper pans and pots that have gone.
 There are oven doors made of iron and steel which look every bit as well las the nickel ones generally used and which of course are quite $ practf- cal. Even pins now are being made of iron instead of nickel as are also hooks and eyes and similar objects.
 Some apparently efficient substitute has been discovered for the rare and ex- pensive rubber, and the exposition shows garden hose of the new ma- terial. which feels and acts just as genuine rubber does. and will expand and contract quite as well, Even nip ples for babies milk bottles are fash toned out of this near rubber" The list of articles includes squeegees and window sponges.
 Twine made of paper has been found to be practical. but for use in stores a little machine has been invented which seals up packages and makes the use of string unnecessary. There are paper collars, cuffs and hanker- chiefs and napkins and even paper un- derwear. Underwear and bed linen also have been fashioned out of celluloid ] for the purpose of effecting an econ omy in Soap which is daily growing more expensive. There are literally scores of models lof gas, electric and spirit lamps and stoves to tempt people who find 1t diff lfcult or impossible to procure petro- leum, and so-called 'scooking bowls
 that can be placed on red hot stones. 1 Not content with merely exhibiting the thousand and one substitutes avail 1 able, the woman s association also gives, instruction in their use.

the name Pollock and description of the coat of arms of the family:
 There is theory found in some of the genealogies that the founder of the fami- ly was one Paulus, or Paul. and that the surname Pollockis diminutive derivative of this name; but this theory must retire to the background to which are consigned many other plausible genealogical theo- ries The name Pollock Is now known to have been derived from town in Rem frewshire Scotland, where early as the twelfth century the family who bore the name was established.
 The coat of arms of the Pollocks is as follows: Vert saltire or, between three hunting horns, in fess and base, argent garnished gules.
 Crest, a board passant proper, vert transfiXed with a dart, proper. Motto Ardacter ct strenue.
 To M. B. who asks for the name and family connection of the founder of the Batchelder family in America

H.; William of Charlestown, Mass; John of Watertown, Dedham and Reading. Mass, who are not supposed to have left descendants, and the Rev. Ste phen of Lynn, Mass, and Hampton, N. H.; Henry of Ipswich, Mass. and Joseph and John of Salem, Mass, who did leave descendants. and therefore founded fami- lies in the New World.

If Tammany Goes Uptown.

One of the real landmarks of this city
will disappear if the Tammany Society
decides to trek from its present head
quarters, in East Fourteenth Street.
Tammany Hall-say what one will about
its architecture or the morals and man
ners of the political organization which
it shelters--is one of New York's histori-
cal buildings. Its fame is far more ma
tion-wide than that of any other structure
we can boast of hereabouts, except, per
haps, the Brooklyn Bridge or BartholdIs
Statue of Liberty.
Tammany removed from the Sun Build
ing to Fourteenth Street in 1868, and
the new hall was opened for the entertain
ment of Democratic national convention.
1t was there that Horatio Seymour made
his famous declaration: "Your candidate
cannot be-" Nevertheless, not many hours
later he did become the Presidential
nominee Of the convention.
From Andrew Johnson's time TO Wood
row Wilson's the Hall has been a focus Of
variegated Democracy-near Democracy
tattooed Democracy and triumphant De
mocracy, always of rayenous and CONNER
cialized Democracy.
Mr.. Wilson, when a candidate for the
Presidential nomination, wrote a polite
note 10 the sachems intimating that on the
of Tammany Hall the fire of
liberty had been kept always burning.
After he became President. however, he
positively declined to furnish any fuel in
the shape Of Federal patronage with which
to feed that flame of patriotism.
With a Federal administration, state
