BITTEN BY HORSE
THROWN In WATER
Father Sees Daughter Dropped in
Barrel of Water Rescues
Drowning Child.

Little Falls Herald Little Gladys
Grenier of Belle Prairie, aged five
years, was the victim of a most pc
culiar accident last Saturday morn
ing which nearly cost her life. The
little girl, while with her father, who
was looking after the stock, was
bitten by one of the horses. The
horse fixed his teeth in the flesh of
the girls face, just above her right
eye, and picked her up, then drop
ping her head first into barrel of
water and walking off.
The father of the little girl was
near and when he saw what hap
pened he rushed to the barrel and
rescued the drowning child. He
noticed that large piece of flesh
had been torn from her face and he
soon after found it in the snow a
short distance away, the horse hav-
ing dropped it there.
Mr.. Grenier rushed his little
daughter to st. Gabriel's hospital
here and an operation was performed
and the piece of flesh put back into
the face again. It was frozen
when brought in and had to be
thawed out. It is believed the OPP
GRAFTON was a success and that flesh
will grow back on again, but it will
be a while before it will be possible
to tell.

BEST TEACHERS CAN

Alberta Home Aided by Rockefeller
Foundation Fund Because of
Educational Work

President Vincent was present at
the dedication of the consolidated
school, January 6, 1912, and it was
originally planned to have the dedi-
catory services of the teachers home
on January 6, 1917. This was not
feasible for the school Christmas va
cation came at this time. The
teachers and Supt. Grafelman and
family, however, moved into the
manse January and months trial
has proved the economic worth of
the new building.
Alberta early learned that good
school could not be conducted with:
out the best of teachers. This dis
trict is strictly a rural community,
and does not have facilities to. give
good teachers proper home living
conditions. Practically every year
new teachers had to be engaged,
with the heaviest loss to the success
and efficiency of the school. 1t was
almost impossible to secure the best
of teachers under these conditions,

COUNTY FAIRS GET
MORE FROM STATE?
Bill Pending in State Legislature
Agricultural Society Makes
Annual Report.

A bill has been introduced in the
State Legislature that will provide
for the state to give an equal amount
as the county in the maintenance of
county fairs in Minnesota. Such a
law would be very desirable to Stew
ems county, for the Stevens County
Agricultural Society has been obliged
to take considerable amounts from
the society's treasury on different oc-
casions because of the insufficient
support received from the state.
The annual meeting of the Stew
ems County Agricultural Society was
held January 6, 1917, in the Com
mercial club rooms and the following
officers were elected at that time:
D. H. Lawler, president; T. F. Nc
Carney, vice president; w. F. Cooley,
treasurer, and C. r. Wollthan, secre-
tary. Mr.. Wollthan has recently
prepared the following annual report

Browns Valley Has Troubles

Inter Lake Tribune:-Things were
rather blue last Thursday night.
The railroad was blockaded and no
mail had been received for two days;
in the early evening the current for
electric lights went "bump"and save
a few candles and kerosene lamps,
most of them minus chimneys, we
were without means for light; and
on top Of this the waterworks froze
up. No light, no water, no train,
no mail, but the oldest inhabitant'

because teachers who had qualified
themselves through long years of
university and normal training
could secure positions in other
schools where they would not have
to bear such hardships.
On account of remarkable achieve
ments in various fields of education
al endeavOr this school was chosen
as one of those in Minnesota that
should be offered financial aid by
the Rockefeller Foundation in build
ing a complete, perfectly modern
home for teachers through Pres.
Geo. E. Vincent of the state univer-
sity. Through this source $4,000
was secured; $4,000 was voted in
bonds by the school district, MAXIM =
total Of $1,000.
This home contains Fl rooms. In
the basement is located a complete
home training department for girls,
consisting Of a cooking and sew
ing laboratory, store room, model
dining room, laundry, toilet room.
On the first floor is the apartment
lily. This floor consists of a parlOr,
dining room, kitchen, toilet and
bath room, vestibule closets and
three bed rooms. On the second
floor the lady teachers home is To-
Gated. This consists of four bed
rooms, dining room, kitchen, toilet
and bath room, etc. The home eco
Monies teacher conducts a teachers
boarding club in this apartment, re-
ceiving for this kitchen and din
ing room free. In this way they can
live just as economically as they
choose. In this boarding club is
employed house keeper, whose
duty it is to do all the work incident
to this club as family affair. The
teachers are charged room rent each
month for their rooms, which they
have to pay to the district, every
thing else, excepting the electric
light, they receive free as a club.
Here, therefore, they may live as a
family of their own in whatever
manner they please, enjoying every
comfort of a strictly modern home.

equipped a room each, kitchen and
dining room, toilet and bath, electric
lights and everything else essential
in a modern home. In this way
they also live considerably cheaper
than by boarding out in hotels and
private families as other teachers
are forced to do. The superinten-
dent pays $40 per month rent for
his apartment on the first floor. This
income is put into sinking fund
from which in the course of years
the money which the district has in
vested will be returned.
The great object of this home or
manse for teachers is to secure the
very best of teachers obtainable on
the market and then to hold them
year after year securing thereby the
best kind of school for the boys and
girls living in the country in a con-
solidated school district. 1t means
better education in the country.

IOWA CAN BUY WAR BONDS.

A bankers convention was held in
Marshalltown Thursday at which the
all absorbing topic for discussion was
the Liberty Loan and the patriotic
necessity for subscribing. Iowa per
capita portion Of a two billion dollar
bond issue is approximately $43,-
100000. but if the appOrtlOnment
We're made on basis Of wealth
lowa's share would be double that
amount.
Forty-fye millions is merely an in
cident in the total wealth that war is
going to bring to Iowa. We have
fifty millions increased value in our
hog crop alone; Hogs in Iowa were
valued at $S4,342, 900 in 1916. The
price has jumped from 5000 to
$1640, or 60 per cent. The same
number Of hogs this year are worth
round fifty millions more than they
were last year We can put our war
profits on hogs into government
bonds at 312 per cent interest nom
taxable.
And then we will have plenty Of
money left. Corn is selling close to
Sl.5O, which was considered high last
year at - cents, Add = cents in
creased war profit to 377,235 200
bushels of corn raised in Iowa in one
crop and we have three hundred mil
lions of war profit coming to Iowa
on corn alone.
After corn and hogs comes cattle
Iowa owned S1S6,2O1 900 worth Of
cattle last year and owns more head
this year but cattle have gone up in
price fully one-third. Credit sixty
millions more war profits in cattle
from which to invest in war bonds.
Oh the banks of Iowa need not
fear to underwrite the. entire issue
of liberty bonds apportioned to this
state. This apportionment will not
amount to one-fifth Of the time de-
post money now lying in the banks
at a cost of per cent. The govern
ment's 81 per cent bonds being free
from taxation are the equivalent of
a per cent investment on which
a tax Of one half of | per cent is paid
and Uncle Sam guarantees the, pay
ment of the note If the banks of
Iowa should underwrite the entire
forty-tive millions of war bonds they.
would find increased war profits OF
ten times that much in the deposits
of farmer customers who go to mar
ket next winter with corn, hogs and
cattle at war prices.-Marshallto

THE REAL BEGINNING OF WAR.

The order is out. American SOL
diers will be sent to France at once:
The first contingent will be small
"a division or so of men command
ed by Pershing-but it is but the adj
vance guard. the skirmish line of a
vast army in the mind Of Wilson
and of his advisers. stretched along
the trenches of western Europe in
the death grapple OF nations. This
advance guard, small in numbers and
drawn mainly from the trained regu-
lars, will not bring home the serl-
sides and towns as will the greater
army that is to follow them, but it is
the actual entry Of this country into
a war and into field which was
far from the contemplation of the
American people, when the war be-
gan, and even since the prospect OF
hostilities between America and Ger
many became a certainty.
1t is we'll enough to look the pros
pect in the face Those who are ad-
mlnlstrating our war affairs are, pre-
dieting a long and savage war, where
in millions of American soldiers
shall take part, involving great loss
of life and expenditure OF vast sums.
At any rate, the preparations in pro-
gress and the outlook of those in
charge take that view. If the war
ends without Sucn expenditure OF
men and of treasure, SO much the
better for all concerned in it; but 1t
is we'll for those who must furnish
the sons and the sinews of warfare
to brace mind and material matters
against a contingency SO terrible of
contemplation as a long and desper-
ate war fought out on foreign soil
by American soldiery.
This is the beginning. The end is
upon the knees of the gods.-Mar-
