Alishts on Electric Wire, Damaging
Lighting Service.

Durham, N. ca few nights ago
about 8 80 o'clock the electric lights
Of Morgantown, N. O., began Pickering
and finally went out. It was later
discovered that a little insignificant
screech owl was the cause Of the trou-
BILE, losing its life as q forfeit for at
tempting to alight ON an insulator.
The bird was shown on the streets
Of the town. Its wings were scorched
from tip to tip and its body was burn
ed by contact with the live wire.
When the owl alighted on the insula-
tor the current was started racing to
the ground, and the insulator burst.
The line wire was burned In two, and
when it fell the current was cut of
automatically at the switching station.

SCHOOLS OF STATE TO COM
MENCE WORK AT LATE DATES

The registrar at the Minnesota uni
effect that the fall term Of school will
not commence until October 10. This
is to give the students, who are living
on farms and those employed at agri-
cultural work, an opportunity to finish
up the fall work before resuming their
school work
The University urges, that all stu
school should do So as the ranks of
the universities must be kept filled in
| order that the nations need may be
met now and at the close of the war,
when the need will be the greatest.
| The period Of reconstruction will
make severe demands upon educated
and thoroly-trained men and women.
A number of colleges turnout the
state will begin their school terms
month late. Gustavus AdOlphus col
lege at ST. Peter is one of the pioneer
schools of the state, that has adopted
this plan. According to advices from
this institution, they will greatly in
crease their enrolment by so doing.
North Star College of this city, will
begin work as usual, October 1, and
expects strong enrolment in all Of
its departments. The Commercial de-
partment will be especially strong this
year. owing to the demand for COM
petent stenOgraphers and accountants,
that has been caused by experienced
men leaving for the front.
Just when the public schools of this
city will open is not certain, but it is
thought that ample time will be pro-
vided so that the high school students
may assist on the farms until the fall
work is completed

COUNTY AGENT SAVES
FARMER $500.

County agent H. r. Leonard, Wash
ington county, tells how $500 was
saved on barn equipment by Ralph
McGregor, farmer Of his county. Mr..
McGregor, had secured prices on seven
box stalls from several sources, but
felt that the equipment could be more
economically secured. The use of com
mon gas pipe of various sizes was in
vestigated. The prices quoted on pat
ented equipment not installed amount
ed to about $500. The cost Of the
piping which was finally purchased,
amounted to $50 and $500 additional
provided for labor and lumber used
i'll installing the equipment
While the piping secured and in
stalled is not so attractive, it is be-
lieved by Mr.. McGregor to be entirely
as serviceable.
The use of piping was suggested by
Mr.. Leonard.
