Barnes County Boy in
Marines Makes Good

In an official bulletin issued by
headquarters, United States marine
corps, Washington, appears the name
of Alfred S. Olsen, of Litchville, as
having qualified as a marksman in the
most interesting branch of the govern
ment service.
Alfred, who is a son of Mrs. Katie
Olsen, Route No. 4, Litchville, enlisted
in the United States marine corps at
it's st. Paul, Mimi, recruiting station
on July %, 1915. and is now serving at
the marine barracks, naval station,
Guam, Ladrone Island group, where he
is having many interesting and excit-
ing experiences.
Considering the fact that Olsen is
scarcely more than a recruit, his per-
Torrance in gunnery is looked upon by
marine corps officials as little short of
marvellous, and they expect him to
break many craftsmanship records be-
fore his enlistment expires.

Macdonald Author Of
Interesting Booklet on
Consolidated Schools

A new pamphlet on "The Console
dated School in North Dakota" pre-.
pared by N. C. Macdonald, state in.
spector of rural and consolidated
schools, has just been issued by the
state board of education. It is brief
presentation of the whole movement
in the state. The principal subjects
discussed are the present status OF
consolidation, the benefits of the con.
solidated school, the cost and the
transportation. There is table and
also map showing the number and
kind of schools by counties.
There are now 1873 consolidated
schools in operation, of which number
1923 are in the open country. This
represents an increase Of over 200 dur.
ing the past four years. It is noted
here that the two chief causes for this
growth are given as the state aid
grant, and the educational campaign
that has been carried on for the past
four years to further their growth.
The northern counties still lead
showing that inclement weather and
bad roads need not be a bar to con
solidation. It is admitted that the
consolidated school costs more, but
from the benefits given it is clearly
proven that it is also worth more il
every way. The pamphlet is replete
with some rs good illustrations. There
is a very interesting page giving 2;
statistical items concerning Is oper
country consolidated schools. Eacl
page has at the top choice and ap
propriate quotation.
The pamphlet, like the others tina
have preceded it, shows the intimate
acquaintance Prof. Macdonald ha
with his field, and the results accom-
plished in this class of schools are
fine demonstration of his ability alon
the lines of organization and leader

Work in the rank of knight was ex-
emplified in a most pleasing manner
Wednesday evening in the X. P lodge
rooms to class of nine candidates,
the uniform rank and K. F. orchestra
assisting with the work. A large at
tendance as usual was present. Among
the out-of-town guests were j. r. Fris-
hey, of Lisbon, who was special rep
resentative of that lodge. He holds
the office of Mehedi of Ell Tizri Tenn
pie No. 8. Dramatic Order of Knights
of Khorassan, and was here to assist
in formulating plans for the big grand
lodge meeting which will be held here
March % and %, at which time To-
cal rank Of the D. o. K. X. will be or
ganized and installed in this city. Roy
A. Mills. another prominent D. O. X. X.
was here from the "Hanna's goat city,"
as was Ben Kilrane, of Cooperstown,
chancellor commander Of the X. P.
lodge at that place. These gentlemen
were called upon for talks. and res
pended in a pleasing manner, stating
that without doubt the Valley City
lodge knights of Pythias was compos-
ed Of the largest and best group of
live-wire lodge men in the state.
Valley City can well be proud of
this organization, composed as it is of
the very cream Of her young men pop
ulation, and when the grand lodge
meets here on March % and % we will
have the pleasure Of viewing for the
first time this most excellent body Of
men on parade, and unless we miss
our guess this line Of march will make
the ordinary circus parade look like a
snow ball on the burning sands.
Watch for later announcements and
be on hand to see the fun.
