COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.
Notes From the County Superintend-
ent of Schools.

Miss Hazel Dodd, of Highland
school district, had the best es-
say submitted from a one-room
school in the county on "How to
Care for Baby" in the Baby
Week Contest. Her paper has
been forwarded to the North Da-
kota Educational Association at
Grand Forks to be judged with
all other essays from one-room
schools in the other 81 counties.
Arrangements have been made
with the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College to have a pamphlet
on Boys and Girls Work." sent
to each teacher. This will ex-
plain the work more fully than
can be done in the notes, and we
hope each teacher will make
good use of it and leave it in the
school when she leaves.

Investigates Cause of So Much Wrecng of Human Life
Finds Toll of Alcohol Both Men and Women Is Exceed
ingly Heavy-Maority of Gases Incurable

The story of how whiskey and beer
heap UP a tremendous bill for tax
payers to settle and carry in their
wake misery and unhappiness Is best
told in the almshouse division. AT
this period of the year the popula-
ton Is small to what 1t will be in
the winter months. but at present
there are ST. men and $40 women
who are forced to call Blockley hume
OF the men more than so per cent
can blame alcohol for their downfall
and among the women only 100 out
of the entire number can attach their
plight to anything but the rum traffic
Cannot Master Habit.
The women range in age from TWEEN
ty to ninety six, and many have been
in the institution for forty years
One aged woman has known no other
home for fifty-two years, having first
become q guest at the institution at
the age Of twenty-five.
She Is but one example" said the
chief nurse in the women's depart
ment. 'Whiskey has been her down.
fall. and. despite her resolutions. she
cannot master the habit. She has
been admitted just seventy-one times.
She rarely remains in position out
side of Blockley more than three or
four days or just long enough to pur-
chase whiskey
Then she drops back into the old
paths and is brought back. l have
questioned these women about the
drink habit and find that most of them
developed the habit when young. and
that when they became thirty or thir-
ty-flve years old were beyond redemp-
ton. The habit fastens itself upon
them to such an extent that they are

we have $40 in the almshouse al
present and at least SOC are here for
no other reason that whiskey. 1t has
ruined their lives and weakened their
minds to such an extent that they
are worthless to society and Will end
their days at Blockley.'
Superintendent McAllster, discuss
ing the heroic attempts that are made
by some OF the men to conquer the
booze habit. cited the case of an en-
sineer, who. he said, is capable of
making $40 a month outside the IN
stitution.
This man." said McAllister, has
been with us for three years. He is
paid IS a month for his work. but
never leaves the institution grounds.
He can go and come whenever
he likes because this is not penal
institution, but this victim of alcohol
is man more than fifty years old.
His life has been wrecked and he has
such a dread and fear of the saloon
that he never leaves the grounds
Another man has been here about
fifteen years, and he also declines TO
leave the institution. This man says
that Blockley is home, that he is pay
ing his way by working. and that he
at least is decent citizen. The sa-
loon, he believes. will lead him back
TO the old life, with its misery and
unhappiness"

say for me-" said Judge Clarence W.
Robinson of the circuit court, yester
day. that / am mighty tired of re-
ceiving anonymous letters through the
mails complaining OF conditions in
this section. / have the most pro-
found contempt for the person who
is afraid or ashamed to sign his or her
name. / am not going to pay any at
tention to such communications"
Judge Robinson added that he WILL
ingly gives attention to matters
brought before him by responsible
people, but he will not take up trou-
bfes brought before him IN anonymous
letters. II want it distinctly un-
stood" he said. that in the future all
anonymous letters will go to the
waste baskets and the writer's twill save
me annoyance and themselves time
and labor by not writing to me, I'M
less they are frank enough to sign
their names to the communication"
Judge Robinson came to Hampton
from Newport News to hear a petit
ton for the release of Philip Tole, a

been committed to Jail by acting May

Tole was convicted in August and
Mr.. Collier raised the claim that he
could not be convicted of "disorderly
conduct" and given such a sentence,

who has given the subject careful

People in town have very little

not seat even the children of the

MAY I suggest a plan for better

man and woman who would help
the children of the South take time
to visit the one-teacher school of
our rural districts. Seek first-hand
information. Spend an hour or two
with the teacher and watch the go

BELLS WARN GERMANS
OF SHELLS IN CAVES

London. Sept, 17.-One of the de-
vices which the Germans adopt in
their luxurious dug outs on the West
ern front is explained by British Of
ficer who writes:
But the German dug-outs; my
word, they were things OF beauty, art
and safety, Thirty and forty feet
deep: some with ten or a dozen rooms,
electric lights. hot and cold water,
bath rooms, Sounds like nice
eligible villa out Bromley way The
quaiutest thing l saw was in the din
g-room-panneled walls--of one
of these desirable country retreats.
''In the roof. suspended by light
springs. were four bells. What was
the purpose OF these could not
imagine, but l came across a German
prisoner afterwards who explained
their wishes. Down In that troglodyte
abode the sounds of gunfire were
scarcely heard-at least 1t was i'm
possible to tell which side was firing
Here the bells came In. When the
British shells We're bursting up on the
surface their explosion caused the
earth TO Nbrate so much that the
bells tinkled. When only the German
guns were firing there was not suf-
ficient vibration on the earth to make
them sound. So the occupants, safe
in their rabbit hole. knew without
trouble just what was happening
above"
