l wonder how many rural school
teachers of Mclean county have had
as pleasant conditions through this
strenuous winter. as those who are
teaching in the new modern rural
school buildings of Victoria District
The Board of this district made
special efforts to have these schools
built modern. sanitary, and comfort
ab1e-and wish to say that IT pays.
One of the most noticeable results
of these conditions is the good health
and good cheer Of both pupils and
teacher, and the consequently large
amount of work accomplished by
them. On days when the teacher and
pupils in the old type Of building sit
with aching fingers and numbed feet
huddled up to the old stove pretend
ing to study, the teacher in one of
these sits quietly at her desk looking
out over contented, industrious faces;
while the steaming kettle in, the room
beyond where the. hot lunch is pre-
pairing itself. sings pleasant little
home song. During the noon inter-
mission while the girls chatter hap
PLY over the dishwashing, the boys
CHEEKY whistling can be heard In the
basement as they work away with
hammer and saw. .sst g q. r. I l' -. 4
Some of the commendable features
Of these buildings are the roomy
bookshelves, u and drawers for ma
terials, two large, cloak rooms sup
piled with strong hooks, two toilet
rooms, an entrance hall, a heating
and ventilating system that works.
large windows bringing ample light

North Dakota ought to take the

Wisconsin is not alone in having

 How freedom came to Siberia might be the title of a story told by Captain Billy Thompson of the schooner Trader who as already re- ported arrived here Saturday from
 Plover Bay. The revolutonists ex- tended their influence to the farth- est north and Billy says they lost no time getting their own men in office. The news of the revolution came on March Is and on March 19 they were holding elections for com missioncrs and other local officials while the red flag took the place ot
 the old imperialist ensign. They nominated chiefly political prisoners or men who had been in bad with the imperial authorities for political reasons, and the old autocratic sa- traps they summarily removed. Every official is elective and they know not the joy of an appointive ofticialdom. He states that any off al that had been considered all right was elected to the office which he held by appointment before the re- vClutiOn, the rest were thrown in the discard i found wanting. The revolutionists were for continuing the war II said that the ravolu- tionists in some of the papers did not comment very favorably upon the appointment of Root 10 the American Mission as they thought that Root vas more representative of American capitalists than the American people, and could show the Russians no new wrinkles in the way of democratic government. As far as the mining laws were con cerned, the country was not yet open to prospectors, but might yet any time be thrown open, at least just as soon as they could get around to it. Matters of more i'm pOrtance and especially with regard to the war had prevented them dealing with these matters just yet. The fact is that almost daily they are receiving notice that this and that law is annulled the Slav gov crnment feeling that the best way to reform bad law was to abolish it altogether, soul and body. They had wiped out a whole slough ot laws and some of the attorneys in Russia would have to go to school to forget all they knew in order to know what "as really the law atI the present time. Apparently the Russian government believed with Jefferson that that was the best gov ernment which governed the least. In the meantime there was not much noticeable activity as most of the young mon had been command deered for active service. Thomp- son looks for an epoch making de- velopmcnt in this richest of all sec tions when peace comes about. and he declares that it will not only be the making of Siberia, but also of Nome, the Alaskan metropolis next door to the great Russian republic.

sounds of reaping machine.

ly: "SureSt thing in the world. Close

color changed.

He thrust his mop into the pail. K.
rose. The farmland had filled his box
and disappeared around the corner Of

From inside the bar Bill took care
full survey Of LIE Moyne. He noted his
tall figure and shabby suit, the slight
stoop, the hair grazing over his ears.
Barkeepers know men: that's part of

In my room-top of the house."
K. followed Bill up the stairs down
which he had carried Wilson's uncon-
scious figure. The room under the
caves was sitting. An unmade bed
stood in corner. Joe was sitting in
the corner farthest from the window.
When the door swung open, he looked
up. He showed no interest on seeing
K, who had to stoop to enter the low
room.
