not patriotic and not putting into eff
feet conservation. The fee is too high.
One dollar is enough, the majority of
Golden Valley farmers think, and also
add that a farmer who has bad
stretch Of road near his place should
be ashamed to show himself.
N. C. Macdonald, state superinten-
dent of public instruction, is strongly
in favor of extending the summer va
cation of the schools until the first
Monday in October, so that the boys
and girls may stay on the farms and
help with the fall work. He is send
ing out letters to the county superin-
tendents and school officers all over the
state urging them to adopt this plan,
especially this year, in view of the
labor shortage on the farms and the
imperative need of gathering in the
crops properly.
Time was when it was quite the
thing to call farmer a "hayseed."
He was also called rube, hick, or
greene. But that time has gone.
There never was any sense in the use
of such words. No man is at home in
another's surroundings. But today
the farmer ranks with the soldier as
the nations first line defender. The
corn row ranks with the fire trench.
The farmer is not only useful person
today but he is also hero. So away
with the patronizing attitude, the high
and lofty manner, the sarcasm and de-
rision. "a mans man" these days.

Bender is alleged to be the man re-

ure Of wine is almost parallel of the
famous Hebron wine case which has
been waged in the justice, district and

DR.. Knudson, Professor of Theology
of Boston University, gave the first OF
a series of lectures arranged for the
Normal schools thru the Hazlett Foun-
dalton. His subject was the Prophet
Amos-and his message, "That relig-
ion is righteousness" DR.. Knudson
touched but briefly on the life of Amos
noting how little is known of the life
of this literary prophet-only that he
was of humble parentage and follow
ed in the most humble walks of life
that of a sheep herder and tree trim
mer. However, he was a visioner--a
seer-for it was for him to warn the
Israelites of the doom that awaited
them, "the chosen people," in their
self-confdence bred Of prosperity and
power, and consequent indifference to
deeds. With this idea foremost, Doc
tor Knudson forcefully applied the
teachings of the prophet Amos to the
modern times-to the prevalent over
confidence of the nations. His slogan
was to be doors, not dreamers, of the
Word of God.
| Doctor Knudson is very forceful
! speaker and apparently has the speak
er's sense we'll developed. He held his
audience, by voice, enthusiasm and a
belief in and appreciation for, his
subject. On Wednesday he spoke on
| the Prophet Isaiah.
On Saturday of this week the Third
Year class entertain the members Of
the graduating classes to picnic. The
picnic party will consist of about
eighty people, including President and
Mrs. Crane, Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke, and
the faculty class advisors, Mrs. Per-
kett, Mr.. Corzine and Mr.. Altman.
President Crane will attend a meet
ing of the Board of Regents during
the week. The Board is in session at
Valley City at present.
A section of seats were reserved for
the Normal students who wished to at
tend the DR.. Goldstein lecture given at
the Armory on Tuesday evening. A
large number took advantage of the
privilege of hearing this noted speak
err on civic questions.
The State Department of Education
has asked the Normal School faculties
to read the teachers examination pa
pers recently written turnout the
State. Consequently, the local mem
bers are beginning work on the papers,
which are to be finished by June first.

North Dakota may have a second
regiment in its national guard at an
early date. The states quota Of men
is about 1000 soldiers, which would
mean two regiments. If a second reg
iment is formed, it will undoubtedly be
permanent. Smaller towns may or
ganize companies and Minot and other
large cities may be represented by two
companies.
Reports are current that Fort Lin
coin will be the mobilization point for
the national guard of North Dakota
South Dakota and Montana.
