AMERICAN FIGHTERS
BRAVE AS ANTILLES

A Port in France. Oct. 22-Bravery
and discipline on the part of the sold
iers and sailors in the United States
transport antilles marked the last
movement of the ship before she had
been torpedoed at sea last Wednesday
by a German submarine.
Servivors from the lost transport
who were landed here by patrol ships
today told graphic stories of the at
tack.
The Antilles was struck just at
dawn as she was wallowing through
heavy seas on her voyage westward.
The U-bOat was not seen and the first
the men on the transport knew of the
accident was a terrific explosion to-
wards the fore end of the ship, which
tore a great hole in the bow and sent
a geyser of water and wreckage squirt
ing hundred feet in the air.

AVERAGE RATE
IS COMPLETED
TAX COMMISSION COMPLIES
TAX RATE FOR 1916 FOR
COUNTIES IN STATE.

The Tax Commission has just COM
piled the average tax rate for 1916
and the average tax burden per acre
of the several counties of the state
In arriving at the tax rate in mills,
the Commissioner has used the total
tax burden in the county, including
SO far as reported, the special assess
ments. 1t has been customary to ig-
more special assessments but it is
the Judgment of the Commission that
the special tax burden does not re-
main upon the property which it is
assessed but is distributed over the
entire community and is overhead ex-
penses. Special taxes are levied al
most altogether in the cities and very
largely against business and profess
sional men who pay the tax which is
an additional cost for commodities
and services. In this way a special
assessment as we'll as any other tax
tends to diffuse itself through the en-
tire community and should be a fac
tor IN computing the tax burden Of
every citizen. This is the first time
these figures have been published and
they ought to be Of interest to the
people Of the state.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Senior high school has an opening
enrolment Of II boys and 63 girls
a total of 80 students. The junior high
school has an enrolment Of 81 boys
and 54 girls, total of SO. This gives
an enrolment of 168 in both high
schools. The Junior high has eleven
more students than it has seats. The
school authorities are facing a SER
ious problem in providing class room
and other facilities for carrying on
the work successfully. The gym
nasium is being converted into class
room for fall work but it will hard
ly be possible to carry on work there
during the winter, as the room is not
properly lighted and heated. There
will be the problem of overhead heat
ing also.
Central school has about the usual
attendance, "a boys and 81 girls.
Miss Underwood will have charge
of the German this year. Miss I'm
derwood has had excellent training
in the language and strong work will
be done in this department. Miss
Bill will have charge of the library.
There is a large registration in the
business department but falling of
in the language and science depart
ment. Heretofore there has been
limited opportunity to take work in
a business course so the science de-
partments also the language cours-
es have had more than normal reg
istration.
There is an excellent school spirit
and enthusiasm is shown in all class
es. At the first general assembly
the exercises were opened with nine
rahs for Wigby, nine for Hoven and
nine for Nels. and the other boys who
have joined the colors.

ED BY DEPARTMENT.

The County Superintendent's Of
flee has received notice from the
State Department that the following
schools have been standardized in
Bottineau county for the year ending
June 3Oth, 1918. The standardiza-
tion is based on the laws Of 1917 in
which the district tax levy plays an
important part. This accounts for
the different amount received by
schools of the same class.

meeting all the requirements. The
money apportioned each school will
be available about March, 1918.

Editor Courant:

Editor Courant:
During the last five or six years
every business agency has used it's
influence to encourage the raising of
live stock in North Dakota. Better
farming agents have been planted all
over the state, whose principal busi-
ness has been to encourage the rails
ing of more live stock. Every agency,
say, has done it's part to encourage
this very important industry. This
advice was good and the farmers and
stockmen responded by going at the
work with hammer and tongs. They
raised the stock.
Then what-none of the advisers
had given the market end of the busi-
ness much consideration and now
when many raisers find it necessary
