authorities considerable trouble. St
Paul answered hat he was a jew of
an honorable city, and again asked the
privilege Of speaking to the people.
His request was granted.
Then st. Paul stood on the stairs
and motioned silence, In order to adj
dress the mob. Doubtless he consider
ed his thrilling experiences well COM
pensated for by the privilege of telling
a large cot of his c~ountrymen
about Jesus. Promptly he preached
Christ-that Jesus of Nazareth was
the promised Messiah, that His sac
rifcial death constituted the Redemp-
ton Sacrifice for Adams forfeited life
and, incidentally, for all of Adams
children, who died under his death
sentence. Surely also he declared that
Messiah was calling a spiritual class
to be His associates In His Mfilennial
Kingdom, and that shortly Israel and
all the nations would experience the
blessings Of that Kingdom. Then he
proceeded to tell about his missionary
tours. He declared that many of the
Gentiles were gladly receiving this
Message and giving their hearts to the
Lord In full conservation.
ST. PauPs Defense.
But so strong was the Jewish preju-
dice that the mere mention of the fact
that this great blessing was going
upon equal terms to the Gentiles re-
kindled the flame of hatred and VIC
lence; and their shouts and jeers rent
the air. Perplexed at the situation,
the Roman commandant concluded
that where there was so much opposi-
ton there must be some cause for 1t.
Thereupon he gave orders that the
Apostle be whipped until he confessed
what he had done to create such a
tumult.
At ice the command began to be
carried out by the soldiers, who pro-
ceeded to tie st. Paul to the whipping
post. But the Apostle brought the pro-
ceedings to q quick termination by in
quiring of a centurion who stood by.
rs it lawful for you to scourge a man
that is a Roman and uncondemned?'
When the centurion heard the ques-
ton. he reported it to the colonel, who
came and questioned the Apostle. He
took st. Paul's word for it that he was
a Roman citizen: for to have made an
untruthful claim to citizenship would
have meant death, as soon as the mat
ter had been investigated. The Apos-
tie was held a prisoner for trial.

the beating which st. Paul

they are going to give back to

lift it up enough to free the in

the fractures and reports the
little fellow as getting along
nicely, but Mrs. Webber's
father, Mr.. Lauderbaugh, is not
getting along as we'll as he
might owing to his advanced
age. 1t is miracle that the

FORESTRY SCHOOL
Course In Agriculture Offered For First
Time Fills Long Want For North
western North Dakota.

Monday, Oct. 2, is the open
ing registration day for the
agricultural and forestry
courses at the State School of
Forestry.
While the school opened on
Monday of this week for the
collegiate courses, the agricul-
tural and forestry departments
open at the later date, in order
that those busy on the farms
during the fall season may be
given an opportunity of start
ing with the opening of the
course.
The agricultural department.
is new feature of the Forestry
this year and should prove the
most popular course offered by
the school. The need of an
agricultural preparatory school
is very manifest and the oppor-
tunity now offers to secure
practical, simple and under
standable instruction in the va
rious lines Of farm husbandry,
hitherto obtainable only at the
agricultural college.
The boys agricultural course
comprises agricultural botany,
agricultural chemistry, black
smithing, mechanical drawing,
farm carpentry, poultry, agro-
nomy, study of breeds, en-
gineering, ETC., besides such
subjects as English, physiolo-
gy and hygiene, music, public
speaking, penmanship and
spelling.
The practicul side of agricul-
ture is featured. An effort is
made at giving actual demon
stratiOns wherever possible in
place Of book farming. For in
stance, in poultry raising the
students are given full charge

several students arrived. These
will be given work to tide
them over until the opening of
the regular course on Oct. End.
With the introduction of the
new courses which are of the
most practical nature possible,
the school faces the most pro-
fitable year of it's existence.
While the general attendance
will not be large, the number
of bona -fide students will be
greater than usual.
The new teachers for this
year are Miss N. Beth Bailey
of Menomonie, Wis, who comes
to take charge of the work in
home economics, and Arthur
G. Brown of Eden Prairie,
Minn., for the manual training
department. Miss Bailey is a
graduate Of the Menonomie
high school and of Stout In
stitute. She has done special
work at the Teachers College,
New York and at the university
of Wisconsin. She has had
six years experience as instruc-
tor and has had considerable
experience in farm institute
work. Mr.. Brown is a gradu-
ate of MaCalaster academy and
Mscalaster college and has
done special work at Stout
Institute. He has had
two years experience as in.
structor in manual training.
Mr.. Brown is especially inter
ested in the practical adapta-
ton Of manual training princi-
pies to farm life.
Carthon Petrie is the first
student from outside the state
to register in the forestry
course. He comes to rs from
Plymouth, Wis, and is plan
ming on completing the full
three year course in practical
forestry.
The fall tree seed picking
started last week by Forestry
students, who made use of the
cottage at Lake Netigoshe.
The party consisted of Dewey
Greiner and Henry Turner,
with Isaac Bacon in charge.
In the securing of seeds they
were very successful. The
high bush cranberry fruited
abundantly this year. About
ten bushels of seed was secur-
ed. The picking of ash and
box elder seed will be started
this week.
A communication from Hon.
Walter L. Stock well of the Ma
sonic lodge, states that a Stu
dents Loan Fund has been
established. He states that
money will be loaned through
the educational institutions to
the students wishing to con-
tinue their educational work.
The loan is limited to $75. 90 to
any one student in any one
year. Loan is made without
interest and payment is per-
mitted at the convenience of
the borrower.

SCHOOL OF FORESTRY NOTES.

Coming events: Forestry
and agricultural courses open
Oct. 2. Short course in can
ming, Sept. % to 20.
The short course in canning,
held at the State School of
Forestry will begin Monday,
Sept. % at 9 o'clock. Sessions
will be held daily from 8 to IL
and from 1:3O to 4: 80 in the
home economics department of
the main building.
CUT DOWN THAT GROCERY BILL.
The average family of today
spends thirty to fifty per cent.
of their income for food. With
the present prices of food this
per cent. will increase. How
is the housewife to iced, clothe,
shelter and educate her family
if food prices continue to rise!
1t is during the long winter
months with no garden to draw
on, that the grocery bill scars.
Why not preserve your fruit
and vegetables when they are
in season and have them on
hand ready for winter use?
The North Dakota State
School of Forestry is endeavor-
ing to help the housewife
economize in this way. A
short course in canning and
preserving will be given from
Sept. % to Goth. for the benefit
of all who wish to take advant-
age of the offer. This course
will include instruction in
canning and picking fruit and
vegetables, such as carrots,
beets, peas, beans, tomatoes,
corn, peaches, pears, plums,
etc. Different methods Of pre-
servation, their practicability
and cost will be studied. Spe
cial attention is to be given the
cold pack method Of can
ming, which is SO simple and
successful, and is now recon-
mended by the L. S. depart
ment of agriculture. Instruc-
tions will also be given in the
use of tin cans, as we'll as glass
jars. The tin can has the ad
vantage of being unaffected by
light, easily stored, in good
condition for market and is on
the whole, as economical as
the glass jar and as easily han
died in canning.
There are no secrets about
successful canning. Hermeti-
cal sealing and complete steri-
lization or cooking, are the re-
suits sought to success. When
this has been accomplished,
bacteria and all kinds of fer
menting germs are co mpletely
destroyed. We believe it is
positively unnecessary to pro-
cess or cook contents of cans
but once.
ALI materials for this canning
course will be furnished by the
school. This work is open
especially to our farmer girls,
but will be of great value to
all homemakers. There will
be no no fee charged. Remem-
Der the date, Sept. rs to Goth,
and enroll early for member
ship.
