PUBLIC r A NOTES

The Dickinson Public Library is
open daily from 200 to $50 in the
afternoon and from 10 Otto 900 in
the evening for reading, reference,
study and the circulation of books.
Sunday afternoons from 20 Otto $3.50
it is open for reading only.
Saturday mornings at 10 o'clock
there is storytelling at the Library.
All children in the third grade and
below are invited to the story hour.
More and more interest is being
shown in the future vocations of the
boys and girls, and much material has
been written about choosing voca-
lions. Among the books dealing with
various vocations for boys and girls
are the following, which not only de-
scribe many occupations, but also
state the amount and kind of training
necessary, the cost, and the probable
salaries from the positions secured:
Vacations for Girls, by LaSelle and
Wiley.
Profitable Vacations for Boys, by
E. w. Weaver.
Profitable Vacations for Girls, by
E. W. Weaver.
Vocational training, a list Of voca-
lions with the institutions where
training for them may be taken, by
the Association of Collegiate Alumni.
Most of the 1915 magazines will be
gone temporarily for the next month.
Those which are indexed in the Read
ers' Guide to Periodical Literature
have been sent to be bound in volumes
containing the numbers of half the
year. This will keep the magazines
in permanent form, and will enable
them to be used more conveniently.
The set Of stereographs of Indians
and buffaloes kept on the table in
the children's department of the
Library has become exceedingly popu-
lar. The purchase was somewhat of
an experiment, but has proved so sue
cessful that other sets will be pur-
chased when possible to afford it.

SCHOOL NOTES
o o @ o @ @ 8 o o o o o 6

A high school program is scheduled
for this (Friday) afternoon.
Tuesday was an ideal vacation day,
the weather being sunny and mild,
and just suitable for a country hike.
Patriotic programs were held in
nearly all the grades Monday after
noon and a large number of visitors
were in attendance.
Miss Lyken had as her guests
Tuesday the following Belfeld teach
ers: Misses Mel, Gene Lyken, Rob-
erts, Quinn and Wallace.
The Kuehn concert was very. much
enjoyed Wednesday evening. The
seniors have given the public a good
lyceum course, every number being
superior in it's line.
Supt. P. S. Berg left Saturday a.
M, February 18th, for Detroit, Mich.
He was to be gone a week, attending
the national convention of %superin-
tendents, which will be held in that
city.
The basketball game at Beach last
Friday night resulted in a score of
"a to 10. The boys came back pretty
we'll knocked out, which is certainly
hard luck, with the tournament right
at hand too.
Glen Hollenbeck unfortunately fell
in the game with the Alumni at the
armory Tuesday evening, spraining
his right elbow quite badly. It is
hoped that he and the other boys will
recover by Friday for the big games
The score of the practice game Tues
day evening was 65 to Is.
On Friday noon, February 18th, Mr.,
Monsoon displayed the beautiful ban
ner, for which the teams of the south
west district will compete, to the
high school. The banner is a unique
one, worked out in maroon and gold,
and the team which will win it will
have an artistic reminder of the
work it has done for the school it
represents.

WILSON A CANDIDATE

In a letter to the Ohio democrats
President Wilson said that while he
was unwilling to enter into any con-
test for the presidential nomination,
he was willing to permit the use of
his name in the primaries of that
state. Thus, Mr.. Wilson is a presi-
Dental candidate providing he is the
only candidate. Mr.. Wilson desires
the undivided support of the demo-
cratic party, evidently believing it
necessary to election. =
Undoubtedly, Mr.. Wilson has had
his political eye open for some time.
He has undoubtedly watched the get
ting together on the opposite side of
the political fence and reached the
conclusion that this opposition can be
met only through complete harmony
in the democratic ranks. This con-
clusion may have been fastened by
the possibility that his republican op-
ponent will be Mr.. Roosevelt, around
whom both republicans and progress
sives are rallying in ominous num-
bers. With Mr.. Justice Hughes out
of the way, Mr.. Roosevelt stands a
pretty good chance Of securing the
republican nomination.
Still, MIR. Wilson's proviso may

supervision Of the agricultural college
president, Worst rebelled.
The writer has had a great deal of
proof of the success of the Better
Farming work, and has closely
watched the splendid supervision of
Thomas Cooper. We go on record
now as stating that we believe that
the Better Farming branch does more
actual good for the farmers of
North Dakota in a week than all the
literature and advice sent out from
the college does in six months.
The board of regents is making an
honest attempt to bring about con-
sistency of work at .the college. 1t
is only natural that some of those
who have been long entrenched in an
easy berth are going to kick. The
future of the institution, however, is
of more Importance to the state than
the political future of Mr.. Worst.
Two years ago he attempted to use
his office in seeking political honors.
Perhaps he has the same thing in
mind again.
We acknowledge that Mr.. Worst is
an able educator and that he has
done much for the agricultural COL
lcge, but we also hold that the time
has come for his retirement and the
infusion of new blood in the manage
ment of that institution, which has
been running under one head for 21
years.

R CANDIDATE

H. A. Mackoff, we'll known attorney
of Belfield, is the first man to an
nounce his candidacy for office for
the 1916 campaign in the Dickinson
Press. He is an able young attorney,
full of energy and push, and should
prove a most popular candidate for
state representative, the office he
seeks. The Belield Times speaks of
Mr.. Mackoff as follows:
AT the coming June primaries the
people of western Stark county will
again have a legislative candidate in
the field for nomination on the re-
publican ticket, in the person of At
torney Mackoff. Mr.. Mackoff is a
man eminently we'll qualified to rep
resent us at the state capitol. He is
a young man, keenly alive to the
best interests of this part of the
state, and this, together with his
legal training, places him in a po-
sition to hold a place of Importance
among the legislative solons of
North Dakota. People in the eastern
part of the district (Stark county,
should be willing that we have a
representative from this end of the
county and many residents in all Sec
lions of the county have expressed
themselves to that effect. However,
a candidate from this end must carry
with him the endorsement of the
voters in his respective locality.
Therefore an endorsement petition
has been circulated for Mr.. Mackoff
among our voters and was rapidly
filled with the signatures of both bust
ness men and farmers"

REBELLION OF WORST

John H. Worst, president of the
North Dakota Agricultural college at
Fargo, has unnecessarily gotten into
the limclight in more than one in
stance the past week. He not only
has been laying down the law to the
board of regents, but has also threat
ened "to start something" should he
be "fred." Instead of firing Presi-
dent Worst, the board elected him to
the great post of honor, president
emeritus of the college. This position
carries honor, executive work and
salary. After 81 years at the head
of a state institution, what more
could a man ask? But Worst re-
fused, saying: 81 am going to stay
1T the head Of the college until the
board puts nc out end then l want
to know the reason why"

movement wa" started, Worst has

Proposed federal

Proposed federal legislation to
make military instruction compulsory
in all educational institutions having
land grants, seems in a sure way of
passing. There are seven educational
institutions with land grants in North
Dakota, but only two have military
departments-at the North Dakota
Agricultural college in Fargo and at
the Normal-Industrial school at Ellen
dale. Prior to the Spanish-American
war the state university conducted
military courses, but at that time
the equipment was called in by the
government. In the event Of war,
many believe military instruction in
the state institutions would solve the
problem of furnishing officers.

have been made under genuine con-
regarding opposition in his own
party. While the democrats of the
northern states may rally to his
standard, there are evidences that
those of the southern states will have
to be coaxed to line up for him. Mr..
Wilson's administration has not
been as popular in the south as it
expected to be, and at this time
prospects for greater popularity are
not very ~reassuring. Therefore, he
may have undertaken to serve notice
on the south that without it's sup
port he would not be a candidate.

BENZOL FROM Ignite

In connection with the report Of
the Secretary of the Interior on the
gasoline question, in reply to a reso-
luton of Senator McCumber, the SEN
ator has taken up with the Bureau
of Mines the possibility Of producing
benzol from the Ignite field of North
Dakota. At the present time
Germany is utilizing the Ignite fields
for the production Of benzol to furn-
ish fuel for her air craft and motor
vehicles. The director Of the Bureau
