by taxation. There is quite an item
of cost attached to money so raised
and distributed. The people pay the
taxes but the money all goes back
to the peoples benefit except the
cost of handling. 1t is not natural
that when money is spent to want
full value received for it. To use
economy in school let every patron
bend every effort they can summons
to assist the teachers. They positively
cannot do the services needed without
your help. The prayer of King David,
when he prayed for prosperity for the
Isrealites, might be applied to this
matter In that prayer King David
said: ooh, Lord, we pray Thee to
help US to help Thee to give MS pros
perity..'.' 1t is plain to be seen that
David did not ask or wish for any
thing without an effort from him
and his people. If we pray for any
thing we wish for it, but we can wish
for anything without praying for it,
but in either case neither will be
granted without an effort from the
applicant. To get the greatest value
from money expended is certainly
economy, and to get the greatest val
ue from money expended for schools
is for the patrons to assist the teach
er in every way they can. Help the
teacher to help the pupils. By so do
ing your schools will be a greater
success. The teacher and pupils will
love each other and the teacher and
patrons will have much higher re-
CARDS for each other. However, oc-
casionally you will find community
that takes very little interest in the
progress Of their school. They want
schoolhouse and teacher, but don't
care to trouble themselves to make
the school buildings and surround
ings look neat, and be more pleasant
to both teacher and pupils. There is
schoolhouse in Upton county not
80 miles from Covington where the
patrons suffered their teacher to
open school with the weeds from 6
inches to 3 or 4 feet high all over the
school grounds even up to the walls
of the building. 1t certainly would
have been more pleasant to the sight
of the teacher and pupils if the pa
irons had cut these unsightly weeds
down. THREE FIGHTS.

Upton NOTES

For the last few days nothing
worthy of note has happened in this
vicinity, more than there has beer
several light showers Of rain, which
are making crops look fine.
The farmers are done working theil
crops and are now taking few days
rest, which they need very much, as
thew were hard pressed with THEN
farm work for the past three weeks
During that time they scarcely took
time to take a long breath.
The Bethel school moved along nice
ly last week and the patrons are well
pleased with the start that Mr.. Clar-
ence Bryan and Miss Virginia Pollard
made, and are expecting great re-
suits, which will be a reality if the
patrons will do their duty.
The opening of the Upton school
Monday of last week by Miss. Ruth
Strong, who is a very efficient teacher,
was overlooked in Upton notes of last
week, not Intentionally by any means,
but from the fact at the time of writ
ing the writer did not know the school
opened that day. Miss Strong has
proven to be very successful teach
er, but to make the success more per-
feet she will need the cooperation of
the patrons.
There is a great deal said and writ
ten about economy. How would it
do to apply it to school? Don. t be-
come alarmed, honorable superinten-
dents of schools and your board.
There is no blame laid to either the
superintendent or board. We all
know that the school fund is raised

ON ARMY AND NAVY

In a statement Secretary McAdoQ
said prompt passage of the army and

that the bill would be enacted "be-

chance of winning the war-and it is
the power and resources of America
that must win this war-will be i'm
measurably increased if the war in
surance bill, pending in the congress,
is promptly enacted into law. AS soon
as these men 60 into camp, an i'm
mediate and pressing problem con-
fronts the country. Their wives and
children, or mothers and fathers, who
are dependent upon them for support,
will be Immediately thrown upon the
charity and generosity of the COM
munities in which they live. This must
not be done. America must not be
disgraced by a failure to provide for
the support of the families of the
men whom she takes from their
homes and places upon the battle
fields. This is the time to hearten
our men as they enter upon this SUI
preme service of sacrifice for the
nation. This is the time to enhance
their morals and to sustain and COM
for those who are left behind and are
required to make sacrifices as great
as those who die upon the field of
battle.
Il earnestly hope. that the measure
pending in the congress will be sup
ported by such an unmistakable ex-
preston of public opinion that it will
be enacted into law before the first
soldier of the new national army be-
gins active military duty"

State Of North Dakota,
Office of Attorney General.
April 3, 1917.
Hon. Lester Briggle,
Linton, N. d.
Dear Mr.. Briggle:
international complications have be-
come SO acute that it is highly prob
able that the United States will soon
be involved in war. ;a
The Department Of Agriculture has
issued statement calling upon al in
habitants to plant every acre avail
able into grain.
The state Of North Dakota il the
bread basket Of the United States and
consequently the call Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture involves directly
every farmer in North Dakota.
Owing to the scarcity Of farm labor
in this state at the present time, it is
my Interpretation of Section 2 Of Ar.
ticle 1912 Of the Compiled Lawn Of
1918, that every child kept home by
the farmers Of the state in order to
help them till the soil and plant crops
are not illegally out Of school, because
such child, where actually employed in
the aforesaid business is actually nee
essary to the support Of the family.
In ordinary times such q construc-
tion of the statute would be unWar-
ranted, but in situation such a. now
exists, such q construction in my
opinion is right and proper.
Will you please Immediately upon
=
receipt Of this letter send q copy Of il
70 every school officer in your county I
Thanking you for your courtesy in
the matter, ] am.
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM LANCER,
