BRYANS PORTRAIT IN

Pacific News Service. Wash. Bureau
 WASH, D. C.-The superintendent of government buildings several months ago requested William Ien- aings Bryan to sit for portrait to be hung in the blue reception room of the Department of State beside those of other former secretaries of the MT. Bryan at that time pleaded for a delay because he was busy campaigning In the West.

 After fifteen years or even twenty ot married life a silver gift would be even more enjoyed and looked forward to than at twenty-five years. And as for the golden anniversary, to cele- brate that at twenty five years would certainly bring it within the life of a vastly larger number of people than ever have that pleasure at the end ot fifty years If there might be a hesi- tation to change such an old custom let them only call to mind that fact tf.at the old order of most things is fast giving way to a newer l hope that the suggestion will be seriously taken up by the jewellers of the entire add to the festive and joyous celebra- tions of life.
 We are now planning a campaign of publicity through which, with the aid of the jewellers, we expect to educate the public to the merit of the new idea. or to a knowledge of it, for it's merit would be readily conceded. In the meantime we will be pleased to hear from our readers with any suggestions that they have as to the most effec- tive means of exploiting this reform.

When you strike an empty igloo, n an icy Arctic night, Where there's nothing but an up
 turned sled And a tipsy pipe in sight, When you've shoveued out a passage. Ard dropped through on all fours, And you've cautiously crept forward Through the many frosty doors, Wien you're set the snow a'melting Cn the Primus stoves blue blaze, While you huddle close beside it In your breath's thick foggy haze, Wien you've had your cup of coffee Frozen meat and pilot bread, Ard you pause and look about you Fer @ place to lay your head, lis then your heart Is gladdened By your best friend in the North, And with numb and reddened fingers, On the floor you spread it forth. Tis the sleeping bag ullovely With it's grimy, yellow skin, And you strip off deerskin clothing, And you gingerly slide in. 1t may not be o'ercleanly And the hairs may crawl and prick Aad the boards beneath may bruise
 you,
 So you'll wish twere twice as thick. But despite these small discomforts. You will curl down in it's fur, And till the chill has vanished, You will lie without demur, Watching how the frostrime gathers Round the breathing hole you've left While the cloud that aims your vision, Is the dense cloud of your breath. You will listen to the rattle Cf the snow above your head, As 1t strikes the arching window WI ence a feeble light is shed. And as the chill goes from them, And the deerskias warm you round, You will bless your Arctic "pulchra' For the warmth that you have found.

NOTES FROM rHr COUNTY su
PERINTENbET.

This Office is in receipt of copy of
"songs From The Wsys,dc," book
Of poems by Mrs. Nfhette M lilo
water, a resident of this county. These
poems are real poetry and anyone in
terested can get into communication
with Mrs. Lowater by addressing her
lat Linton.
Civics classes should know that Lynn
j. Frazier is governor, A. T. Kraa-
bel, lieutenant governor, Howard R.
Wood, speaker of the House, and A.
E. Bowen, chief clerk.
If any teacher has an extra course
of study, even 1918, please send it to
this Office as about 25 teachers are
without them at the present time and
need them badly. No more can be
obtained from the state department
until they are revised and printed.
Gov. Frazier, in an article entitled,
"What North Dakota Needs" says,
eve have one avenue of progress to
better things in the schools and it must
be used more fully than it has ever
beer before. The schools have made
progress in teaching scientific farm
ing: but none of them have been teach
ing what they ought to teach about
the problems of farm finance. 1t is
not enough to teach these things in
the colleges. They must be taught in
the rural high schools. They must
be taught in the country common
scht ois. The farmers of this state
haven't had much outside help in solv-
ing their problems and they needn't
expect their sons will have. What
they want to do is to make conditions
tol'lable so that their sons and daugh-
ters will be content to make their
homes upon the soil of this state and
to develop the state and to enrich it,
not only by material products but by
an intelligent and happy manhood and
womanhood. They want to equip their
sons and daughters so that they can
handle their. own problems better than
their fathers have been able to handle
them. !" We heartily endorse the state
ments of Gov. Frazier as given above.
Parents should consider the advantages
of schools as great privileges and plan
to have the child there every day the
school is in session. They will make
better farmers and better citizens and
lead better and more useful lives if
they get an education.
