FORESTRY NEWS LETTER.

The practical work in agriculture
for the coming year is assured by the
kindness and courtesy of A. H. White.
Mr.. White had on display at the fair
last week two fine Percheron twoyear
old mares, and two Shorthorn heifers,
which he will loan to the school. These
will be used in every way, just as If
they belonged to the school and will
be of great advantage to the school.
The school feels that they should
have the very best stock so turned to
Mr.. White for help. Meadowlawn
Farm has made speciality Of raising
Percherons and Shorthorns. The
iberality and generosity Of Mr.. A. H.
White in making these loans Of such
valuable property is fully appreciated
by the school.
A shed 2Ox7O. is being built for the
storage of coal. One hundred and
seventy eight tons Of Ignite and SO
tons of Youghiougheny are being
stored to preclude any possibility OF
coal shortage this coming year. ITO
tons are now on hand and the re-
mainder is coming within a week.
The shed is being so constructed that
it will be used for storing machinery
when its need for coal shortage is
over.
Work will start next week on a
shop 20x4O, adjacent to the green
house, which will be used for a wood
and metal shop. This is a need that
has long been felt in connection with
the school. Farm carpentry projects
of a comparatively large size can be
carried out. The shop will be equip
ned with wood and metal working
machinery.
Cathron Petrie, who has been work.
ing on the Wisconsin Forestry com
mission for the last two months, will
return the last of the week to go on
with his forestry course.
Miss Ada F. johnson OF Benson
Mimi, has been secured to take charge
of the work in English and Music Tor
the coming year. Miss johnson Is a
graduate Of the University OF MIN
nesota, B. A. 1913, and has done post
graduate work at the same instltu-
ton, She has had experience as q
teacher Of English and Music in the
states of South Dakota, Idaho and
Montana.
The gazing globe has been placed IN
the rose garden on temporary mount
and it is very interesting because OF
the great variety Of reflections. The
roses are coming on in good shape
now after their hard setback the
past winter.

DEPUTY SHERIFF HAS
LOST HIS POSITION

Mandan, July 23.-John Handt-
mann, deputy sheriff Of Morton coun-
ty for the past eight years, and one
of the best educated Germans in the
state was discharged from the Office
today by Sheriff Oscar Olson, for con-
tributing an alleged reasonable let
ter to the North Dakota Herald, a
German publication at Dickinson.
In his letter to the German paper,
Handtmann referred to the French
girls who kissed the American SOL
diers when they arrived in Paris as
depraved women. Both Handtmann
and the publisher of the paper were
reported to government. The fol-
lowing statement was contained in
Handtmann's letter:
"It must do our soldiers a lot Of
good, when they march through the
streets of Paris to have girls fall ON
their necks and kiss them. But that
is all France has to offer our men
who are to be used as cannon fodder
"a world of depraved women. Paris
was heretofore known as the city OF
the lowest morals, and it is again
proving itself as such."
He then glorifed the recent raids
made by German airships on London
and stated that the Americans were
going to Europe to pull the chestnuts
out of the fire for the French and
English. He concluded his article
with a description of the selective
draft and expressed the hope that it
would not go far.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 22.-Ab-
sence of accounts of depredations by
the German raider-or raiders
occurring within the past week and
the fact that 3 -ast Gordon OF ai'ied
war vessels and guardians Of neu-
trality have failed as yet to locate
her, led to the belief today that the
terror-or terrors-had changed the
field of operations.
Since the raider despatched the
Japanese steamer Hudson Maru to
Pernam buco loaded with prisoners.
no definite word Of the vessels
whereabouts has been received. This
was on January 12-ten days ago.
The packet boat Bahia reported her
belief tho raider had passed her far
coast Of Rio Grande De Norte.
The most careful questioning OF
survivors landed at Pernambuco has
failed to elicit anything like an
agreement as to the raiders appear
ance. The widest variance was de-
veloped, giving additional credence
to the detailed story of the captain
of the captured British steamer Rad
norshire that the raider had armed
and equipped at least one OF her
captors, presumably the British
merchantmen st. Theodore.

reported as merchantmen and cruls-
