GARDNER HOTEL SOLD
GARDENERS GO TO CALF

An important business deal was
consummated this week when Henry
Ahrenscroff of Garrison N. D., be-
came owner of the Gardner hotel.
This hotel is one of the most valuable
single properties in New England,
and the transfer represents a trans
action amounting to $4,000. The
papers were signed and the deal
closed the first Of the week, but the
new owner will not take possession
until the first of October.
The change Of ownership of the
big hotel practically means that the
Gardner family, a pioneer family of
New England, will soon be residents
of another state. In few weeks Mr..
and Mrs. Gardner and the three girls
will leave for Santa Ana, California.
After getting his wife and daughters
settled in their new home, Mr.. Card
ner will come back to New England
and remain here for couple Of
months while attending to some
business matters. Early in Decem-
Der, Mr.. Gardner and his sons, George,
Harry and Henry, will leave in an
auto for California. Gordon Gardner,
who has land and other interests in
this vicinity, will remain here indefi--
nitely. Besides looking after his own
business, Gordon will look after the
interests Of his father and brothers.

PERCY GOSLETT BUYS
AZ CARS Of HORSES

The car of horses which Percy Cos
lett shipped from Dickinson the first
of the week made AT carloads that he
has assembled and loaded from the
stock yards of this city during the
past season. This means much to
the community, bringing in thousands
of dollars to the growers.
Percy Goslett buys horses all over
North Dakota, and for the western
portion of the state assemblies his
purchases in Dickinson.
The horses that this man has
bought around Dickinson so far this
season would make a solid trainload
for one of the Northern Pacifc's larg-
est engines. Mr.. Goslett does not
make much talk about what he is do
ing but he gets the horses and the
growers get good prices and all are
satisfied.

AS the state appOrtlonment is

County Superintendent of Schools
C. E. Ward has completed his 1914
1915 school year report for Stark
county which shows the following in
teresting statistics:
Stark county has twenty-five school
districts. There are two classified
high schools, two consolidated graded
schools and one graded school. There
are in the county 4,475 children of
whom 2,345 are. males and 2,13O fe-
males. A comparison of figures
shows that more boys than girls at
tend school in the country and in the
high school the numbers are just re-
versed, there being 1876 high school
.6upils last year, Of whom II were
boys and 1l9 girls. One hundred
students completed the 9th grade:

community and this only serves to
demonstrate the fact. that the patrons
of city schools are willing to. have
this tax levied ON them for the in
creased school advantages.
Wages received by teachers also
form an interesting part of the re-
port. The average for Men jim the
county is $68.72, while for women it
is $55.91 and the average for all
$57.31. The average for rural
teachers is $52.82. It will be observed
that none of the teachers are troubled
by the income tax collectors.
There were as men and 115 women
employed in the schools of Stark
county last year, Of whom 40 were
College or Normal graduates.
Of the 157 teachers in the county,
10 teachers are in the rural districts.
There were five new country school
houses built during the past year.
13O large dictionaries and 10000 Ii
brary books are in use in the county.
The cost of tuition per pupil enrolled
for the year was $3.50.
Patrons of the county will be inter-
ested in the certifcation of teachers
who are to teach their children. In
Stark county last year there were
105 applicants for certificates, OF
whom &c were rejected. Almost
every applicant had finished four

KEEP IDLE HORSES HEALTHY
Best Thing for Azoturla Is Prevention,
Says Doctor ReynoIds-Water and
Exercise Essential.

The symptoms of azoturia are easily
recognizable. A horse comes out Of
the stable apparently in the best Of
condition. He is driven but a short dis
lance before he shows signs OF lame
ness or stiffness In his hind legs. He
staggers and may fall before he can
be unhitched. He perspires freely. The
muscles over the loins and hips become
rigid and frequently tender, often
trembling and twitching.
According to DR.. M. II. Reynolds
the best thing for azoturia is proven
ton. When a horse must remain idle
for few days the grain ration should
be reduced. II horse is very fat he
should be fed no grain. Every horse
should be given plenty OF water and
turned out for exercise daily. II the
grain ration has not been reduced dur
Ing a period of idleness in any case,
the horse should have a cathartic be-
lore being put into harness again. A
quart of raw linseed oil 36 hours be-
fore hitching is safe dose. Work
should be light for the first day after
idleness. as violent exercise is likely
to invite an attack.

is good illustration OF the axiom
that rich materials look best when
simply made up. for II is unusual and
impressive. But the odel is not suit
ed to commonplace materials.
Another development In an entirely
different material is equally effective.
This is demonstrated in gown made
OF twine-colored net. the overgarment
showing the net laid in side plaits a
half inch deep. But In this gown a silk
cord partly defines the waist line,
which II encircles at the belt. falling
below II at the front and fastening In
a knot at one side like Greek girdle.
The underskirt is of plain net over
foundation of satin in the same color.
Although there is no fare in the
skirt or upper garment. they are both
roomy. It is the lack Of definition OF
the figure that adapts the velvet model
to the stout figure. But in the dress
made of net the plating of the ma
terial and the addition of the girdle
produce a gown which is ideal for a
slender figure.

feeling contented with themselves as
well as at peace with the outside
world. when 1t was suggested as pas

sion Of which she would most prize.
With prompt acquiesceyce each regis
tered her choice. Mrs. Wellman wished
for the most exquisite jewels extant.
Mrs. King desired to be the best
