Proves Pretty Expensive

Jamestown Oct. II. H. Popple,
reported to be salesman and director
of large New York liquor dealing
concern, was arrested on complaint of
Mayor Kelley Thursday and brought
before Justice Murphy on the charge
of violating the state prohibition law,

$3.50, and agreed to leave the city.
The liquor salesman had unique

Drilling for Gas
Around Marlnartf

Marmarth, Oct. 1.-Following the
discovery of oil and gas at Baker,
Mont, a few weeks ago, the H. V.
Smith company has begun operations
to place the product on the market,
if the supply proves to be large
enough. The company has employed
an expert gas well driller, who has
penetrated to the depth of 400 feet.
He is sinking 10-inch hole, so that
any kind of strike can be taken care
of.
Enthusiasm was aroused when it
was announced by the United States
survey that there were many surface
indications for gas and petroleum in
western North Dakota and eastern
Montana. An incorporated company
known as the Montana Petroleum
company has been selling shares.
This company owns leases on $4,000
acres of practically proven oil and gas
lands in Custer and Fallen counties
in Montana and Slope and Bowman
counties in North Dakota.

Cattle Bring Big Money

Sanborn Enterprise: Joseph Didier,
of Anderson, recently disposed of
three head of cattle to Butcher Bran
denberg for the tidy sum of $184. It
is paying investment to feed grain to
cattle as well as to hogs, especially if
the grain be little off grade and the
market down. The disposal of grain
in the form of meat is becoming more
and more popular with each succeed
ing year. The man from Anderson
has also advanced ideas on the per-
picking farm labor problem. If the
farmers would get together before har-
vest and agreeing among themselves
the amount they would pay harvest
hands, and then sticking to it much
trouble would be saved. This thing
of bidding against each other is very
unsatisfactory.

their lives.
The bullets were fired by J. A. Kot-

village marshal, C. c.. Anderson. They
had been notified by telephone that
burglars were at work in the store and
were the first to appear on the scene.
The burglars gained entrance by

one of the county's most successful

erman is to receive $65 per head for
these yearlings.
That stock raising on scientific

[Mandan Officers Get
Boolegger and Booze

Mandan, Sept. 30.-The sheriff's Of
flee, police department and states at
torney are having a little picnic all of
their own. The weather dosn't inter-
fere with their business.
Last night a bootlegger, who was
dispensing of "rot-gut' wiskey, was
nabbed by the police. One John
Jones alias something or other, and
two Indians had purchased booze from
him. All three were badly intoxicated
and were taken in tow and given q
free bed in the city Jail. The Indians
identified the bootlegger as the man
responsible for their downfall. He
will be given hearing later. One
year in the pen is what is expected for
him. And when that is over the fed
eral officers will be given chance to
further teach him that the law con-
corning giving or selling liquor to the
Indians was not made to be broken.
Late yesterday afternoon States At
torney LANCER made one of his regular
trips to the Nothern Pacific freight
house. He also made a good houl.
Along with several casks of beer was
another barrel of the same kind, but
the eagle eye of the "booze chaser
discovered, half tucked into crack, a
diminutive liable bearing the inscrip'
ton, "spirituous liquor" The barrel
was opened and found to contain 4S0
pint TASKS of wiskey The consign-
ment was from w. l.. Perkins Wiskey
Co. to A. Weathers.
In addition to the whiskey there
were nine casks of beer addressed to
Bill Smith, M. Brown, B. German, E.
Hobart. These, according to the
states attorney, are all fictitious
names. Another box of liquor was
also confiscated. LANCER swore out
all of the papers in connection with
the seizure. All of the liquor seized
will be held for 20 days to allow own
ers to claim it, and will then be de-
stroyed.

Is Believed Bulgaria VIII Soon
Unite With the Cermanic Allies

London, Oct. IA belief that Bull
garia has taken sides with the CEN
trail powers and Turkey and that the
Anglo-French and Russian troops will
be assisted by the friends of the en-
tente allies, while it momentarily has
diverted the attention of the diplomats,
has not dampened the interest of the
public in the situation in the eastern
and western theatres of war. The OF.
fensive of the allies in the west and
the determination with which the Rus
SLAMS are opposing the Austro-German
advance in the east are the absorbing
topics. The news from the front is
considered here as the best for many
months.
The French and British forces are
making further progress and have
been successful in repulsing the Ger
man counter attack and so far as is
known have held virtually all the
ground gained.
In the east, the Russians appear to
be making a much better effort to
hold their position, for except just in
front of Dvinsk and Volhynia, the Ger
mans claim to have made progress
while between the two points and in
Galicia, according to a Berlin report,
all the attacking is being done by the
Russians.

Dr.: Wnship Talks Of Need Of
Special Education for Teachers

While the idea that a person needs
to know how to teach was born Is
years, ago, and it is 80 years ago that
the idea was conceived that high
school teachers should learn how to
teach, it is less than a year that some
one dared to suggest that college
teachers should be specially fitted for
teaching. Before this time teachers
were born, not trained, and no ono
selected the born teacher from the I'M
trained.
So said DR.. A. E. Winship, editor OF
the Journal of Education, Boston,
Mass, in his address before the Nor
NAL students and faculty at the gen.
eral exercises Saturday morning. DR..
Winship has the reputation of being
personally acquainted with more teach
ers and their work, than any other
man in the United States. For tho
past rs years he has travelled more
IHdll oV,OVU ml1co ycdI anu SASAICN
nearly every state in the union an
nually. DR.. Winship is devoting the
week in the interests of the Barnes
county schools.
In opening his address, the speaker
alluded to certain college professor,
who last November suggested to his
students that they elect course in
the department of education of his
college, The same suggestion went
out to the members of the faculty, 120
in number. 1t would do them no harm.
the president suggested, and might do
them some good. That was one of the
biggest things that has happened in
the educational field for long time,
the speaker said. 1t recognized in
teaching an art
In some high schools a diploma from
Harvard, the speaker said, cannot get
a teacher a position in the chemistry
department, or any other department,
unless he can show that he can teach.
It is not natural for a horse to trot
mile in 2:3O or less, and when he
does it is the result of training. The
boy interested in chemistry needs
trainer. We are just realizing how
the world is moving.
II want to play the part Of Benson"
said DR.. Winship, in making reference
to Prof. o. H. Benson, of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington,
who has become we'll known here
through his work at the Valley City
Chautauqua. Then he told the story
of Mr.. Benson's appearance before
certain normal school in the east, CIV
ing a demonstration in canning
When the lecture was ended, the head
of the school dampened the enthus-
iasm of the audience with query:
Why so interested in canning, we have
101 other things in this institution
just as interesting and important? But
a reporter sent to a leading magazine
a story of the lecture that brought H.
900 letters to Mr.. Benson's desk, want
ing information on that very subject.
II want to give the people what they
want"
To give to the students the essen
tials, information, and specialization,
DR.. Winship said, should characterize
the education of today, with the weed
ing out of the dead letters. Do for the
child what he needs most and save
him rather than the system.
