HIGHLAND COUNTY THIRD
lN NUMBER OF AUTOS
According TO Report Of Secretary
Of 6tate-Total Number
% 1850

II is now time for all automo-
bile and motorcycle owners tn
think about securing their licen-
Ses for 1916. The license will cost
the owner the sum Of $500. While
this seems very high to some PEG
pie, it is not as if the person who
paid the money received no ben.-
fit therefrom.
The money collected. less the
necessary expenses connected
with the collection of the license
| fees. is paid back by the state to
the county from which it came, to
be used for the purpose Of better
ing the conditions Of the roads
within that county.
Thomas Hall. secretary of state
of North Dakota. has just sent out
his report Of the total amount Of
money collected from this source
from each county during the year
1915 just closed, and also of the
amount Of money lemitted to each
county. The report shows that the
total receipts for licenses am
ounted to s7o.i93.00. while the
total amount RENTED to the
counties was s7l.43i.i5.
Richland County is third i'm the
number Of motor vehicles regis
tered, and consequently third in
the amount Of money received
from the fund The total number
Of motor vehicles in the county,
according to the report was 1880,
and the amount RENTED to the
county was s3,i90.66. This
county is surpassed in the num-
Der Of motor vehicles only by Cass
anla Grand Forks counties: and
while the Times is not sure. We
believe that the. number of ma
chimes, outside Of the city limits,
is greater in this county than jim
any of the others. Fargo in Cass
;county and Grand Forks in that
;county, are cities several times
the size of Wahpeon. and it is the
number of machines owned in
these cities which brings the to-
tai of these counties up above
Rlchland.
! Cass county is first with 1899
machines; Grand Forks count,
next with 1875; Richland thirt
with 1880; Ward county fourth
with 1883. and Walsh count,
fifth with 976. The smallest mum.
Der of machines owned in an,
county is i'm the newly organized
county of Sioux, which is credited
with only II machines.
\ The following statement show:
the number of motor vehicles re.
gistered in each of the counties
and the total amount Of money +.
turned for road purposes.

SCIENCE SCHOOL NoTE9

Science won from MayviIle last
Friday night, score IS to "a.
Grand Forks cancelled the
game with Science which was
scheduled for last Saturday night.
The train was late and our boys
did not arrive in Grand Forks in
time To play the game.
The biggest game Of the season
is schedulecI to take place in the
Gym Friday night Of this week.
The Science quint versus the fast
aggregation from the North Da-
kota Agricultural College will be
the attraction. The band will give
the usual short program and tho
yelling under the leadership Of
Mr.. George Hanson will be a tea
ture.
The plans for a bigger and bet
ter summer school are we'll un-
der way
The y. W. c. a. girls had pic
mic supper in the Gymnasium
last Wednesday night. Miss
Dodge. the field secretary. was
with them and read several OK
cellent selections. The work Of the
Y. w. c. \. is a splendid feature
Ct the Science school and is re-
celving the hearty support Of ev-
eryone.
Tuesday evening, February 9Th
is The date Of tn" intercollegiate
debate between the Science School
and the Agricultural School of
Crookston. Mimi. The Science af-
firmative team will go to Crook.
stnn and meet their negative team
while our negative team will re-
main here and meet their affirm
alive team. The same question
will b" discussed at both places.
The question is: Resolved that
q material increase in our army
and navy is essential to the best
Interests of the United States. :"
The negative will be upheld by q
Science School team composed Of
Miss Anna Braun. Mr.. Erwin Van
Buren,. and Mr.. George Hanson.
The public interest in this ques-
ton is 50 great that almost every
one is expecting to attend this
contest. 1t will afford the public
a greatly desired opportunity to
hear both sides Of this question
by the best orators in the two
schools. The debators have made
an exhaustive study Of the ques-
ton and will be able to draft in
telligent cases for and, against
preparedness.
This week marks the end Of the
first half Of the present school
year. The work Of the school dur
ing this first semester has been
highly satisfactory, in fact this
seems to have been the banner
year for good hard work and pro-
eress. There are indications of
this everywhere the best, perhaps,
being in the growing appreciation
and respect for the school on the
part of the students. More and
NOR" the young men and young
women Of the state are becoming
aware that they Can obtain a su-
perior grade Of instruction at less
cost and nearer home at the State
School Of Science than at many Of
the larger and moro pretentious
schools.

fact that cnrn leaves the soil IN

Charles n. Parker.

The following from Boston Sunday
paper will be Of interest to many OF
our older citizens who were acquainted
with the subject of the article. 1t was
through this item that it was definitely
settled that with the death on Tuesday
Of Wallace w. Morse of this city,
came the first break in the ranks OF
the famous old Dirigo baseball team,
which in the late COS made such re-
markable record Of which "Wallie"
Morse was pitcher. The player about
whose whereabouts those interested in
the club were ignorant was Frederick
Parker a brother of the Charles Park
er mentioned in the article, and his res
idence is given rs Creswell, Ore. thus
proving that he is still living, although
Augusta friends had lost track of him.
The article follows:

chairman Of the Water and Sewerage
Board, vice president of the Medford
Savings Bank, and retired Boston

pneumonia.
Mr.. Parker was a resident of this
city for nearly 40 years. He was born in
Augusta, Me-, received a High school
education and came to Boston at the
age of 18 to enter the employ Of the
hardware firm of Foster & Colburn Co.,
on Pearl street. He eventually became
a member of the firm which was
changed some years ago to Chase 6,
Parker Co. After 40 years in business
he retired about two years ago from all
all active work
Mr.. Parker served for many years
as selectman under the old town gov
ernment and was chairman of the City

vestment committee and vice president

Two or three men were loaflng on a
corner down street Monday evening
and one Of the men was stamping his
feet, saying that they were cold. 1t
was developed that the owner OF the
feet never wore stockings and had on
thin soled shoes. The episode led to
remarks later in the Senator'S Club,
one Senator claiming that no matter
how cold 1t was man could Keep
his feet warm. even bare feet on the
snow, provided he kept walking. Capt
Wallace agreed, saying that he once
saw a. young man in midwinter on a
wager run, in his bare feet on the
snowy road from the Hook to the
schoolhouse in Small Point and back. a
distance Of a mile without suffering
from the cold. This recalled that
years ago there was a fad for disre-
garding hosiery and among others DR.
Julian Wilder then a student in DR.. A.
K. Gilmore's Office, went a year with
out wearing hose, insisting that it was
more hygienic. The last time the writ
er saw the successful Augusta den
tist, DR.. Wilder grinned when this feat
of stockingless feet was mentioned
and admitted that for many years since
those student days, he had worn socks,
preferring hosiery to hygiene.-Bath
