County School Notes.
By supt. G. C. Fites.

CdG6S.
Secretary Bryan left Wilson's
cabinet because he thought the
president exhibited too much back
bone, while Secretary Garrison
left just the opposite reason.
The State Department has not
announced the dates for the Sc
venth and eighth grade examina-
tions as yet. As soon as we get
notice of this dates, we will let
our readers know through the
school note columns.
Several rural mail carriers in
the northeastern part of the state
scattered food along their routes
where they knew the winter pra
RE birds would find it.
Teachers should be extremely
careful in the care of the school
register. Recently a teacher OF
this county was Obliged to give up
her school suddenly, and from The
fact that she had been negligent
with her register work, she caused
her successor considerable trouble
in getting things started off pro-
perly.
What should be done with the
teacher who fails to send report
cards home to the parents at the
end of each school month"; Coca
sionally we hear of a teacher who
makes errors in her monthly re
ports to parents; in such cases, W.
hope the parent will call attention
to the error in a kindly way.
We have observed that it, d
great many districts there seem
to be feeling that a basket social
must of necessity follow an even
ing's school entertainment. 1t ap
pears to US that this is the wrong
idea, especially the financial part
of it.
The Smith-Level Law provides

ty of every state in the United
States. Several counties of South
Dakota have gotten in line for
this work, and are receiving the
Federal aid provided by this law.
1t appears to the county superin
tendent that Bon Homme County
should also get in line for this
work.
The only true index to the teach
er's character that can be observed
from a distance is her style of let.
ter writing. 1t therefore be-
hooves her to be careful with her
penmanship, punctuation, and
form of letter. Applications for
positions which are written in pen
Gil are almost invariably tossed to
the wastebasket, while those teach
ers who show a tendency to be lax
in their monthly reports are elimi.

WHERE COOKS FAIL.

They Carry Their "Movs on" Fsvsr
 Into Uncle Sam's Service.
 Uncle Sam. rich and powerful, good to his "help." and the surest pay fin the world. can't keep his cooks any longer or better than the ordinary sub urban commuter. He offers them good pay. easy hours and lots of nights out" but they simply will, not over- look the fact that they are cooks. bred and born. and so keep moving on.
 United States marine corps statistics covering the last two years show greater percentage of men deserted who gave occupation prior to entry as cooks" than any other class that en- listed during the period.
 Desertions from the marine corps are very light at all times. The average marine considers that the service of fers better advantages than anything he could find in civil life. and he be- lieyes the opportunities for travel and adventure to be unexcelled. and. were it not for the cooks. marine corps of ficials believe that the oldest branch of the service" would have an almost clean slate with regard to assertions. No class of men look so lightly on the oath of obligation as these selfsame knights of the frying pan." marine corps recruiters declare.

from that country in the convention and that Gilmore thinks he would fit the job of national committeeman.
 There Are Others.
 Charley Heron has also made 1t known that if anybody wants to fas- ten the harness of national commit |teeman on him he will stand without |hitching. It is settled that the Third division will have candidate for the job and that it will not support Shack leford. .' ...
 So far as heard from nobody is go- ling to ask for the nomination for delegate to congress unless 1t is Judge Wickersham. He has made it known to several persons, friends and otherwise, that he would like to have tn .enomination and that he is tired of being a maverick. The dele |gate also scents Republican victory in 1v4v and he would rather ride on the bandwagon than on the Salt river launch. The Republican poli- ticians of the Third division are al- most unanimously opposed to show ing the delegate any favor. The oth~ CT divisions have not been hea:G: from extensively on that issue.
 Numerous friends of Col. B. F. Willard of ..>...eZ have urged him to become a candidate for delegate but so far he has announced no decision. It is admitted that if Senator Mill lard should take the Republican nom- ination and Judge Wickersham should run independent again the Valdez mining man would at least keep the flies of the delegate during the can- !paign.

LAFAYETTE DOLLARS.
Why They Were issued and What
 They Are Now Worth.

Why They Were issued and What
 They Are Now Worth.
 In 1SO0 congress ordered 5O,O00 Lafayette dollars to be coined in aid of the fund for the erection of the Lafayette monument in Paris in 1900. The first one of the issue was struck at the Philadelphia mint Dec. IA, 1899. on the one hundredth anniversary Of the Ieath of George Washington. This coin was set apart for presentation by the president of the United States to the president of the republic of France.
 The Lafayette dollar is lega! tender dollar and bears upon its face double medallion of the heads of Washing ton and Lafayette and on the reverse a miniature reproduction of the eques- trian statue of Lafayette. with the in- scrlptiOn, "In Commemoration of Mon- ument Erected by School Youth of United States to General Lafayette. Paris. France. 19O0."
 The Lafayette memorial commission was authorized to dispose of them at S2 apiece, the profit going to the mon ument fund. The whole proceeding was to honor the memory of Lafay- cite, and there was but one issue of the coins-viz. 5O,00O. They have be- come widely scattered. mostly In the hands of collectors. and are worth S1,1O to $1.25 apiece. -- New York Times

NO TIME LOST IN
 TRANSMISSION OF NEWS

No time is lost in the local office of the Signal Corps in relaying mes sages received over the cable from Whitshed to points in interior Alas ka which are connected with the tel egraph lines. AS the cable messages are received on the tape they are i'm mediately sent over the9 And wires by an operator facing the tape, while an- other operator copies the messages on typewriter.
 The new arrangement is the work of Master Electrician Faust who pro- yided switches so that the cable news was received at the same point where messages were dispatched over the land lines, eliminating the loss of sew |eral minutes time.

The Microscope.

A spectacle maker, Jan Leippersheim by name. living in Holland. invented a crude magnifying glass in 1908. Anton von Leuwenhoek. born in Delft ill l632. improved this clumsy toy and evolved a compound microscope which has be- come the most valuable sanitary tool yet devised by man. That first micro scope was as far removed from the high powered instrument of today as is the modern American from the orig inal cave man. Yet by this faulty means Leuwenhoek. naturalist, physl- clan and botanist. discovered certain minute bodies which he called little animals" He made dra wings of these. and today they are known for those useful friends and malignant enemies of man-bacteria.-Ar

CLAN REPUBLICAN
 GOING TO SEWARD
Territorial Committeeman on the Steamer Northwestern to Hold
 Political Session.


 on the steamer Northwestern to at tend a meeting meeting of the Re- publican territorial committee which will be held in Seward when the steamer arrives in that civic center Chairman Chas E. Heron of Sew ard and George Irving of Juneau are abroad and it is understood that George c. Hazelet of Cordova will be among those present. Probably sev- eral others whose names have not yet reached the press in connection with the committee session will also come along, and no doubt all who at tend will carry enough proxies to keep them warm. Owing to Alas ka's magnificent distances most polit- ical meetings in the territory are composed chiefly of proxies.
 The purpose of the meeting is to set the time and place for Repub- lican territorial convention, which will elect two delegates to the na-
  member of the Republican national; committee, a candidate for delegate to congress, a candidate for att3r- ney-general of the territory. ald transact such other political business as may seem useful to the Grand Old Party when it's clans get together
 Seward Has the Call.
 The committee was called to meet at Seward because Chairman Heron lives there and he had the calling privilege. Naturally he wanted to show Seward that he could do some- thing for the town. He also plans to have the convention held at Sew ard and when he went outside in De- cember he said he had nearly enough votes in sight to put it over.
 Up to date no great stir has been manifest among the G. o. P. politi- clans but it is known that a lot of trenches have been dug and tunnels run in which mines are to be exploded under opposing factions. The big bone of contention is said to be the job of member of the national con- mittee. This is due to the fact that the national committeeman wields the big stick in federal appointments and as every G. o. P. man believes that the stars in their courses are going to carry a Republican into the White House a year hence citizens who have official aspirations want to know who Is who and why.
 One Favorite Job.
 At the present time the national committeeman is William s. Bayliss of Juneau, junior partner of that noted Republican autocrat, Louis F Shackleford, who captured the !ob in 1908 and 1912, but shortly after the latter year slipped the nominal position along to his helper. Shack .leford Is a very able lawyer and in his way a strong politician but his methods won him a lot of enemies who are even now after. his scalp. It is understood that Shackleford would like to be elected again but will not go into losing fight.
 George Irving of Juneau is coming up with most of the proxies from the First division. It is supposed that he represents the Shackleford interest, as he has always trained with that faction and is one of it's ablest lead CTS. Fairbanks and Nome have not been heard from except by vague ru' nor. It is stated that w. A. Gilmore and George D. Schofield of the Nome division will have the delegation
