FORKS COUNTY SCHOOLS
MAKE GREAT PROGRESS
Superintendent's Report Shows e,ts5
Of School Aae--Rursl Schools
Gain.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. Sta
tistics of much interest to county
school patrons, and showing the prog
ress and work accomplished during
the year just closed, have been pre-
pared at the Office Of Miss NJ. Be-
atrice Johnstone, county superintend-
ent Of schools. The figures show a
substantial and encouraging progress
in every branch of the school work
throughout Grand Forks county.
The 1915 enumeration Of persons of
school age is 9,195 as compared with
9,063 last year, or a gain OF 1873. It is
interesting to note that this gain Is
found mostly in rural schools, and not
in town and city centers. and proving
q gradual and increased interest in
rural school work.
Number of school Libraries, 1916,
1879. with a total of 24,932 volumes,
or a gain Of Ave libraries and 1892
volumes over last year. School build
ings equipped with q modern system
Of heating and ventilating for 1915,
rs, as against 80 last year. The num-
Der OF classified schools receiving
state aid in 1915. 81, an increase Of
four over last year.
n oiiShb l1SlSdS the average
monthly salaries Of teachers is re-
corded, men teachers in 1915, getting
$2.SS and women teachers. eS.6l more
monthly than last year.
School maintenance cost in 1915.
$291,4677e, an increase Of SO, 1920
over last years figures. This increase,
1t is stated, is largely due to the fact
that school districts paid off approx
imately a corresponding amount Of
bonded Indebtedness, the amount OF
bonds redeemed being $10,70O. This
was all paid outside Of Grand Forks
Independent School District No. /. A
net increase Of $2,oSs.31 In school in
debtedness Is shown, over half Of
which is credited to Grand Forks CITY.
In rural districts, 1T Is thought that
good crops and the high prices of
wheat had much to do with the de-
crease OF Indebtedness in districts,
The cash on hand IN the offices OF the
district and county treasurer has sub
stantially increased over that on hand
last year by $49,113.4o. The value of
school property shows an increase of
$4S,505. 0'''0 -

itor Lee Nichols has asked States At
torney LANCER for an opinion as to
whether or not the properties situated

SHIFLET INSURANCE
PAID TO THE ESTATE
Fraternai Order Accepts Evidence of
Foster County Mans Death.

Darlington, N. D.. Dec. 9. The
Homesteaders fraternal order Of Des
Moines has made settlement with tho
estate Of J. w. Shiflet on the policy
held by Mr.. Snifiet. Under ordinary
conditions the company should have
paid $1,7s5, but it had the option OF
waiting seven years until Mr.. Shifiet's
death could be legally established.
Settlement was made by c. w. Burn
ham, attorney, at $3.50, the company
paying the policy at once. Interest OH
this amount for the seven years makes
the settlement an advantageous one
for Eddie Shifiet the only heir.
There were many things to compli.
cate the situation. While the public
generally is satisfied that Anfield
Shifiet murdered his father and burn
ed the body. SO that scarcely single
discriminating thing was left, 1t would
be a dimcult matter to establish in
legal way that Mr.. Shifet was dead.
Another factor entering into the situa-
tlon was the fact that Anfield had in
duced his father to make the policy
payable to him. The insurance com
pany provides that if the insured Is
killed by the beneficiary, the insur.
ance Is void. In this case, after kill
ing his father, Anfield a few days lat
er killed himself

Danger SinnaI,

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as q fire bell, You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when It is ringing,
but should cure the disease that
causes the coughing. This can nearly
always be done by taking Chamber
laln's Cough Remedy Many have
used it with the most beneficial re-
suits. It is especially valuable for the
persistent cough that so often follows
a bad cold or an attack of the grip.
Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind,
writes: During the winter my hus-
band takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Is the best medicine for breaking up
these attacks and you cannot get him
to take any other" CbtainabIe every
